    Pleasantly surprised at how tasty everything was! My husband and I came in on a Mexican craving whim and really enjoyed our meals. The price point was perfect and the service was great. There's a takeout counter at the front but plenty of table seating and booths to dine in. My husband ordered the West Orange Burrito and I ordered the Pechuga A la Plancha. Our food came out perfectly and tasted great! We were very happy we found this restaurant and it will be our New Mexican go to spot!

    Excellent lunch and service! First time here, very clean and friendly. We both had the $17.95 combo which comes with your choice of two items, served with rice and your choice of beans. Very good red sauce and the chicken was tasty. Also comes with warm chips and salsa.

    My husband LOVES this place. It's vegetarian-husband approved with high merits. We recently discovered it last month. For the longest time, we'd pass by it whenever we pick up from Fortissimos and we'd say to ourselves, "Man, we should really check that place out." So we finally did a few weeks ago when we decided to grab dinner on an evening during the work week (both of us were too tired to cook). The eatery is larger inside than it looks from the outside, or seen from driving past on Pleasant Valley Way. There are tables and booth seating options. We got a booth closer to the window, which was nice. I ordered the Suiza Enchilada and Chiles Rellenos Combo, and he ordered the Vegetarian Burrito. The food was fresh, flavorful, and really hits the spot. We've also had a chance to order takeout/pickup. Solid. Fandango Mexican Grill is great!

    The Interesante Taco, Taco de Birria, Street Taco Pastor

    We were a larger group so I'm not taking into account service times or anything of the sort. I'm here to talk mainly about the food. I was impressed with the Al Pastor and with the Interesante tacos. Both had good flavor and good texture elements. I could barely see the chipotle sauce on the Interesante so I had to ask for more. The Birria taco? Incomplete. It tasted okay but it was dry, and who in their right mind serves Birria without consommé? Other guests in our party were equally dissatisfied with their dishes, particularly the one who ordered the Chicken Tampiqueña. Our biggest gripe though? The horchata. I asked if it was house made and they said yes, but all three of us who ordered it said it tasted funky, and all three of us had to make pit stops before we reached our final destinations. The ambiance is pretty. Some of the food tastes great. Most were misses, and three people with the runs after having the same drink means no greater than 2 stars.

    Delicious but everything could use a pinch of salt! This local Mexican restaurant has been on my list of places to visit for over a year now! I popped in to grab lunch for the family and ordered a shrimp burrito and 3 shrimp tacos. First of all, be prepared to spend a few extra coins here because the prices are up there! The food was freshly prepared so it took my order a little while to be ready. The portions were plentiful but the flavor unfortunately was lacking. Also I felt like something was missing?! I added hot sauce and sour cream when I got home & that helped a bit. The restaurant is small and full of beautiful Mexican decor. The staff was friendly and everyone properly wore their masks which gave me a little relief. It is located in a small but busy shopping complex, so the parking is not always the best. Overall my experience here was a good one, I just wish the food was a little more flavorful.

    The best Mexican food around west orange! Ugh where do I begin, it was hearty, rich and beautifully tasting. I had the chimichanga with ground beef and it was everything I needed. My partner had the enchiladas and that was also tasty. The service was the cherry on top. We ate here for lunch to enjoy the ambiance and service. The energy in here was great and the service was top notch. I'll definitely be back and will order again!

    Nachos

    Enjoyed the food! We were there in NJ for a wedding and one of the hotel staff recommended this place. Glad she did...margaritas were outstanding! I don't especially love margaritas but tried one. It was just tart enough and had a nice tequila kick. We liked their approach to nachos. It was a large tortilla chip with the toppings. It was not the typical pile of chips with the toppings. My partner and I really enjoyed their approach.

    I expected more from the reviews but it was pretty bland everything needed seasoning I was pretty bored eating this dish oh well it is what it is

    Street Taco Pastor and Taco de Birria
    Miriam I.

    FINALLY FOUND A GOOD TACO PLACE NEAR ME!!! Honestly the value was amazing because these tacos were so big and around $4 a piece. The pastor taco was sooooo good and flavorful. The Burris taco had the birria meat but didn't have cheese and consommé like you'd get at other places but you don't need it because it's so moist. The flavor was great on both which I usually find to be a problem at local taco places. I also got the chips, guac, and salsa and everything was so fresh and delicious. This is definitely gonna be my new go to

    On a weeknight, my husband and I placed a takeout order for dinner. We drove over. I was behind the…read morewheel, and he hopped out to pick up since street parking on Harrison can be tough. Folklore has nice taco options for vegetarians. The hibiscus (flower) taco with slaw was so good. It's flavorful and hearty, and a satisfying meat alternative. We also tried the mushroom-spinach tacos with onion and cilantro; next time I would try this one with the slaw or ask for hot sauce or something to spice it up because it's fresh and good, but it paled in compared to the flavors of the hibiscus tacos. It's fresh ingredients and you can tell they make an effort in preparing, so I would still give it a higher rating. My husband had the veggie burrito bowl. He said it was filling, but did not have a variety of veggies. I suspect that meat bowls are really good. It could have also been that we ordered towards the end of the night. He said next time, he would get the hibiscus from Folklore. Chips and guac were a good side to share. Freshly made and tasty. Also I liked how they were packed in a red and white plaid food boat

    I am quite disappointed with my UberEats order. Here's what…read moreI ordered: Short rib tacos - weird that it had a sweet bbq sauce to it...not what I was expecting and no where does the description include it. It wasn't too bad but the fact that a piece of bone was in my tacos made it all the worse (pic included). From 3-stars to 2-stars. Avoid. Al pastor burrito - I just don't know why it tasted so dry. I tried rotating it so each bite would incorporate all the different components of the burrito but overall, just disappointing. Maybe not enough guac/pico? 3 stars Additionally, I asked for extra salsa but was only given the standard one small cup included with the tacos. Extra salsa would've helped on the burrito so not getting extra salsa was a bummer. Still looking for great Mexican food in the area...have yet to find it and this place most surely wasn't it. Without the snafus, I would rate this place 3 stars. But the bone fragment in my tacos + not providing extra salsa as requested...gotta drop it another star.

    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.

The food is the reason I'm writing this review. Ordered the Cajun popcorn shrimp for appetizer and it was beyond salty. The sauce helped but the salt was the extent of the taste. My wife had the fish fajitas and I had the pulled chicken tacos for lunch with fries. The fries were over fried like chips but the pulled chicken tacos was downright not right there was a chicken pot outlets chicken with a taste to the chicken. I had one bite put it down and pushed the plate away. I was done. My wife ate some of her fajita with her comment being that it's was really spicy. I asked for the check. The waiter asked us for boxes. Seeing that we didn't eat the food we said we weren't taking anything. I told him to have someone check the chicken as it's not right and he said he would let them know. He came back with the check I paid the full check and again mentioned to the waiter that someone should really look into the chicken as someone will get sick and we left. My wife was upset as she was upset I paid the sill receipt but my point is the following. Reputable locations who take their businesses serious pay attention and monitor their patrons. Ultimately without them they don't have a business. Your representative taking care of us saw we barely touched the food if at all. This is not normal at an eating establishment and your only concern was that we didn't want to take the food home. Following my warning on the food there was no concern just collect your check and rip. Enjoy the hundred bucks we will never be back. Left a star as I couldn't post with none.
