My wife and I visited on a quiet Saturday evening and there were still a few tables available. After you place your order, they provide a complimentary basket of chips and salsa. The chips were fresh and salty, the way I like them, and the salsa was mild and tasty. I ordered the chicken fajitas and my wife ordered the veggie burrito. Neither one of our dishes disappointed. The fajitas were cooked fresh and served hot with soft shell tortillas. Plenty of chicken, beans, rice, and vegetables to stuff the tortillas. I even ordered more tortillas. The veggie burrito was huge and my wife brought the other half home and had it for lunch the next day. The prices were more than reasonable and the service was excellent and friendly. There is a public parking lot next door and across the street. It was a very pleasant experience and look forward to going again. read more

We went on a Thursday night for dinner and had the chicken enchiladas and the steak alambre. Both were very good! We also had the tamarind and mango juices which were both delicious. They were out of churros which was a bummer but the food was good overall. read more

¡Viva la comida en El Paso! If you're craving a culinary fiesta that'll make your taste buds dance the mariachi, look no further than El Paso. This place is a treasure trove of authentic Mexican flavors that transport you straight to a lively mercado in Mexico--minus the jet lag, real ID, passport or the mess of Newark Airport!!! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of sizzling fajitas and freshly baked tortillas hits you like a warm hug from abuela herself. The menu is a delightful rollercoaster of classics--think rich enchiladas, zesty ceviche, and tacos so good they might just convert your taco skeptic friend. The staff? Friendlier than a Chihuahua puppy, and just as eager to recommend the perfect salsa to spice up your life. Speaking of salsa, their variety is so extensive, it's practically a salsa safari--mild, spicy, smoky, and downright addictive. In short, El Paso is a culinary fiesta that's as authentic as a mariachi band at a birthday party--and just as fun. Whether you're a taco veteran or a curious newcomer, this spot will leave you saying, "¡Más, por favor!" Rating: 5 out of 5 sombreros -- ¡Viva la comida! My friend Juilo has made up for all his God awful past recommendations!!! read more

Sadly this was a very low quality meal. The people who work there seem very nice, so hopefully they can use this as an opportunity to improve the freshness / cleanliness of the operation. But yea, the food was some of the worst food I've tasted in a long time :( like we're talking frozen & microwaved level quality Prices are good tho!! read more

The owner and staff are all very nice and the service is great. My family and I have tried about 10 different menu items and they're always delicious. Very, very fair prices too. read more

I've been meaning to come here forever and finally stopped in. I'm so glad we did. The place is bigger than I thought it was going to be. When we got there there was one other couple sitting and plenty of empty tables for us to choose from. We chose to share the chicken flair as as an appetizer and for my meal I had the chorizo tacos while my date had the chicken enchiladas. We were impressed by all. The flautas were nice and crispy and my tacos ingredients were so fresh. The server who was probably the owner was waiting on everyone as the place started to fill up. He was very nice and attentive to everyone. We will definitely be back. read more

Never disappointed. My favorite is the Tex Mex salad (crispy chicken or steak) but everything is good. Had chicken enchiladas today and once again absolutely delicious. A true hidden gem in Cranford. read more

Great spot for some delicious Mexican food. They moved into this space about a year ago and it's a great space, with tons of windows and tables well spaced out. We've been here a few times for breakfast/brunch, my favorite dish is the huevos rancheros with green sauce. The coffee here is fantastic, as is the passionfruit agua fresca. Haven't tried the desserts yet as we are always too full after our meal, can't wait to go back and try them soon. read more

Always delicious, always delectable! Every dish I've ever had, which is most of the dinner selections & many for lunch, is absolutely mouth watering. Generous portions of great food for a very reasonable price- what more can you ask for? You can get take out or stay in, where the music always sets the mood for Tex-Mex food. The owner is head chef & really knows how to whip up a satisfying & filling meal. I'm so fortunate this wonderful restaurant is close enough to be a regular! read more

Passing through Cranford and felt the itch for good Tex-Mex. Follow the reviews on Yelp and parked across the street in convenient parking. The weather was nice today but, we decided to eat indoor. The place was exceptionally clean with a pleasant atmosphere. We ordered and were quickly served with some of the best dishes we've had in a while. The food was prepared and presented in an exceptional way. Judge for yourself on these pictures. Stop by and enjoy. I loved the Salsa Verde on my strip tacos! read more

The food here is so delicious! Have had many different things over the course of the last year. Tonight had the 5 cheese quesadillas. So good!!! And the owner is so nice and helpful. Highly recommend it. read more

I had the steak burrito which seemed to have fried rice inside. Kind of steak and rice sautéed with onions. It was mildly seasoned. Maybe could have been more flavorful. My wife had fajitas which was ok. The decor is more like a cafeteria. An extra star for being a family run business. I am rooting for them. We wanted to try the tres leeches but they didn't have them. read more

My husband, daughter and I went here for lunch. The restaurant is spotless and the owner is very nice. We ordered the tortas, flautas and a quesadilla. All of us loved our meals! The food was delicious and very fresh. I normally stop in for some empanadas during my lunch hour and I love them too. read more

Excellent, just excellent. The coffee, the steak burrito, and their homemade sauce were just so well flavored. They marinate the meat, and don't cut any corners. My wife is vegetarian, and loved the veggie tacos, which had a whole bunch of vegetables, cilantro, and sour cream. Also the owner himself is at the grill, and is so friendly and welcoming... also he has his sons helping him on the weekends, which warms my heart. read more

The EL PASO Tex Mex Grill is one of our favorite family-friendly and budget-friendly eat-in or takeout local hotspot! From friendly service to exceptional quality of food at a very reasonable price, El Paso is one of our family's go-to places we keep coming back to. In particular, I have enjoyed great hospitality and modifications from the establishment's head cook & owner, Paco, who always veganizes any meal on the menu to suit my particular dietsry requirements... so I guess this makes them vegetarian/vegan-friendly, as well. lol read more

Their food taste so good. A local go to place for lunch. Usually gets busy. Must ask for today special and soup. read more

Amazing shrimp tacos !! My job orders from here at least once every two weeks and the food is always amazing ! Once they were late with our order and the next day they called and brought us complimentary breakfast sandwiches! Great customer service ! read more

I've had better tacos. But i support the business. Needs to be open during the evening. They close very early. So it's often hard to go there when you are very much hungry at 7pm lol read more

Pretty nice inside. It's cool to see something new open up over here and make it over a few months. Really nice people and the sandwich I ordered was pretty good. I did the ham, egg and cheese sandwich + a small coffee for $5 deal. They made sure I knew that that deal applied to any sandwich as well which was cool. And You don't have to put it on a roll, you can put it on anything. What stood out to me was how clean the whole place was. I mean, I was there in the morning on a Saturday, but still...the way the light hit everything indoors...swoon. read more

Great place and always helpful people and food is amazing. Finally a quality place in town.

My husband and I went for breakfast and it was delicious! I had huevos rancheros and my husband had breakfast tacos and an empanada. Both were so good! I ended up ordering an empanada after tasting my husbands! We will definitely go back! read more

Really a bad place not sure how they got those reviews. Very unhygienic . They are not equipped for to go orders Ordered salad , everything other than lettuce and tomatoes was frozen, beans cheese . He opened the salad box and I could see wilted and done probably fungus spots on some leaves. They gave an open kitchen where they were using frozen burger patties and frozen fries for orders. They couldn't even give me an itemized bill , and they put a napkin from planet fitness in my to go bag . I should have just walked out without my food, but for some reason I felt obliged to wait I threw away the food as I just couldn't get past the pathetic way goods handled. Will never visit again and my advice steer clear of this place read more

I was nearby this restaurant as I was attending a seminar at the Hilton a couple streets over. Needed some lunch and found this on Yelp. It's a small narrow place that seemed to be filled up with 'regulars' - almost looked like a trucker stop to me lol. I was the only female, kind of weird. But anyway the staff were super nice. The parking in front is tiny, I saw a sign there's rear parking, but didn't see it. I ordered a veggie quesadilla. I'm a petite person, and I don't eat a lot, but this was a light meal. It was rather lackluster and wasn't too flavorful. It was at least fresh and very hot when served. Came with some homemade (I think?) tortilla chips and salsa. Wasn't really worth it but I needed lunch. The place was clean and the bathroom was decent at least. Was ok. read more
