We've been going there since 2008. It is our family go to for Tex-Mex. The quality of the food has…read morealways been good. I can't remember a single bad experience with the possible exception of when they were first figuring out how to serve to go orders during COVID and they forgot part of our order. Expect a wait during peak hours but that should tell you something. Not the absolute best I've ever had, but you won't be disappointed.

Parking: Plenty of parking available…read more Service: There was about a 20 minute wait when we went at 6:30pm on a Saturday. My husband put our name in for a party of four and gave his phone number for the text notification but the hostess accidentally entered us as a party of two. Thankfully, the table that was ready was large enough for four but it could have caused an issue. As a note, she remembered and realized she mistyped it and apologized immediately. Our waiter was friendly, though the service had a few hiccups. My chicken quesadilla (which I ordered as my entrée) came out well before everyone else's meals. When boxing leftovers, he asked whether I wanted the sides, sour cream, and salsa included. I said no, but when I opened the container the next day, everything had been packed together anyway. Food: The chicken quesadilla was delicious and generously filled with shredded chicken. Drinks: The frozen strawberry margarita was excellent. It was filled to the brim and stronger than what you typically get at a restaurant. Overall, I'm chalking the service issues up to it being a busy Saturday night. We'd still happily return to Jose Tejas whenever we're in the area.

My son brought me here on Mother's Day, and only one of the kids had Mexican food. She was…read moredisappointed with the nachos from the kids menu as they were only topped with cheese and the place they usually go serves them loaded, but that'w what I fix at home and the cheese was good. Older grandson had wings, and they were so spicy that he kept running out of water and we had to ask for more water a couple times. I had a combo with a cheese enchilada, which was good but surprising because it was topped with seasoning instead of sauce, and a chimichanga which was very good. Middle grandkids shared a chicken basket. I'm somewhat mobility impaired and the choice of seating was the patio, which is all high-tops, which don't work for me, or upstairs and there was no elevator. I did climb the stairs, but it's a slow process, so beware if that will be an issue for you.

The food came out pretty quickly. The server/bartender was really nice and helpful. I asked her what SHE likes here, and she mentioned fajitas. So I got the Mexican Corn Fajita. When I got up to my room with it, I was kind of disappointed that there was no meat in there, but I realize that the menu didn't say squat about meat. My mistake. HOWEVER... that was an amazing dish. Every single part of the meal, from the rice, the black beans, to the small included side of guacamole and the fajita meal... wow. I ate almost everything. I couldn't stop. It was really, really good, and I would absolutely get it again. The mexican corn was flavored in a really authentic way, along with peppers, onion, tomato. I'm really impressed. I should go down and try a frozen drink but I'm too damned full.

Visited a Fat Cactus for the first time and I was impressed…read more The restaurant is located right off of Route 46 and is HUGE! After being seated, I walked around the premises and saw a large room for private events, a vast area for outdoor seating, very nice wall artistry, and even a good-sized individual room for a private meal. Shyam was an exceptional Server. He took very good care of us and contributed to an enjoyable meal. I started with a Classic Margarita and it was served in a LARGE glass. So large, that I had to hand over the car keys, afterwards. The Fat Cactus complimentary chips and salsa was AMAZING. First, the salsa had chunks of tomato, onions, and lots of basil. It was so throughly enjoyed, that we asked for a second helping, which they gladly obliged. Our selections were: Chicken Tortilla Soup (Rich chicken broth flavored with onions, tomatoes, corn, black beans, finished with a dash of cream, crispy tortilla chips, avocado, sour cream, and cheese). This soup was served in a deep bowl, had a very nice presentation, and every spoonful was flavorful. The next item was the Burrito Michoacano (Shredded chicken seasoned with authentic Mexican spices, Mexican rice, black beans, pico de gallo, cheese, and chili arbol sauce). This Burrito was huge, all of the ingredients were well seasoned, and I took some home to enjoy during the NFL playoffs. The final item was the Tamales Chicken Pastor (Homemade masa tamales, stuffed with Chicken Al Pastor, served with red enchilada sauce, and topped with creamy sour cream). I'm glad, that I discovered Fat Cactus and will definitely revisit and/or dine at their New Brunswick location.

I ordered Dos Equis lager and the Jose's special pulled beef enchiladas with a side of Jose's rice and black beans The enchiladas were on point and were a flavor explosion in my mouth. I liked the Jose's rice The black beans needed something to elevate the flavors so I mixed them with the rice and it was a great combination. Serving size is good and great for the price. The service was good as the staff was very polite and the food was out very quick.

They weren't playing the game on all the screens and above everything else it was way too hot in there!!!! the AC must've been off or damaged because everybody was sweating and it was intolerable how hot it was! And then the food came out really really fast which makes me believe that. Maybe it was just sitting there because there's no way that I ordered shrimp and then literally 2 1/2 minutes later it came out. The other thing was I ordered enchiladas bandejas and it was out under five minutes!! Makes me cautious for next time. But even if the food was good, I wouldn't go back because it was just too darn hot!
