I want to like this place, but I've been here twice now and it just misses the mark and is so far…read morefrom being authentic. For starters, we had guacamole and chicken flautas. The guacamole didn't taste fresh at all and the chicken in the flautas had no flavor. For dinner, I had the enchiladas suizas. The chicken was the same chicken used in the flautas aka flavorless and the tomatillo "salsa" did not taste like salsa at all. It actually tasted more like the "avocado mousse" that the flautas were drenched in. My husband had the carnitas michoacan and he said they were just okay/super greasy/wouldn't get them again. Both our meals were supposed to come with rice and beans, but they only bought one side for us to share. When I looked around the restaurant, it seemed like they only bring one side per table regardless of party size. This to me is a rip off especially since this place is pricey. My 2 year old was also with us and we got him chicken fingers and fries from their very limited kids options. When I asked if he can have rice and beans instead of fries, they said no. You're a Mexican restaurant - maybe put a taco option with rice and beans on the kids menu. For dessert, we got tres leches- it was fine. The only other things ordered were a cocktail and a beer. We waited SOOOO long to get the bill and even longer for someone to come back to take our payment. With tip included- our total was about $180. That is very steep for the quality and quantity of food. Sadly, I don't think we will return.

With this area being our go to after a Salvation Army drop off run in Passaic, Tio Taco was next up on our list after we had already hit up a few of the restaurants in the Clifton shopping area. We came by at around 12pm on a wintry Saturday afternoon and there was only one table occupied at the time. When we walked in though, unfortunately we weren't greeted by anyone for a good few minutes, so alarms already were going off in our heads of a potentially bad experience coming up. We ended up walking in on our own and seating ourselves before being greeted. The menu was Mexican-oriented as you can imagine - empanadas, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, steak and seafood Mexican-inspired entrees, etc. It wasn't a huge menu, but plenty to still choose from. We started off with the Beef Empanadas, which were FANTASTICCC. There were 3 large pieces in the order, which easssssily could have been an entree. It was some of the best beef empanadas I've had - honestly. Juicy seasoned beef and very good flavor from the sofrito. It came with a side of lettuce and pico de gallo and cheese dipping sauce. Next, the entrees. We ordered from the Kids menu for the kiddos - a Kids Chicken Quesadilla. First, the order was absolutely HUGEEEE! We were so shocked that the serving was so big that we double-checked with the waiter that it wasn't 2 orders. This was one of the largest kids meals items I had ever seen. There were 6 cut up pieces of the quesadilla, which was generously filled with lots of chicken and melted cheese. There was also a side of deliciously super crispy fries. I had 1 piece of the quesadilla and it stunned me that it was soooo gooood and the entire order probably would have filled me up with ease. My better half ordered the Churrasco Skirt Steak and I had the Short Rib Enchiladas. BOTH were ridiculously superb. The skirt steak was tender, juicy, flavorful and the chimichurri sauce was perfect. One of the better "non-fancy restaurant" steaks that we've had. As for the enchiladas, absolutely delicious! The short rib was soooo juicy and flavorful. Both entrees came with a side of rice and beans. The rice was a bit on the hard side, but I mixed mine with the beans, which made it better. We've been to our fair share of restaurants and, especially chain restaurants, and this was one of the best experiences, service wise and food wise, that we've had. It didn't get off to the best start having to wait a few minutes to be greeted, but our waiter was very friendly, accommodating with our requests for non-glass plates and plastic forks and even brought over extra ketchup and napkins without us asking. He came by to check on us every once in a while as well. And, yes, initially I was brought the wrong order of enchiladas, but they fixed that up asap with a brand new order for me. In closing, I'll say that when we visit chain restaurants these days, most of the food is decent and satisfies our hunger, but nothing very memorable ... the food here was absolutely MEMORABLE and we'll definitely be back.

I got the enchiladas, which were very cheesy and full of steak and accompanied by a good portion of pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream for preferred portioning. The meal also came with rice and beans which were nice and definitely served to round out the meal. I also got a side of maduros, which was a hearty portion, but they were a bit softer and less crispy on the outside than I like. They were still nice and sweet as a good side/dessert option. Food was good to go, look forward to having it on site next time.

I recently visited this restaurant for the first time on the recommendation from friends, who…read moreadvised going only when the establishment is not busy. According to them, service tends to decline under pressure--particularly because the bartender is often pulled away to assist in the kitchen, and the manager doesn't seem to read the room effectively when additional support is clearly needed. Upon arrival, the restaurant was fairly quiet, with only one other table occupied. Despite this, our experience felt disorganized from the start. Our waitress was kind, but there was a noticeable language barrier that made it difficult to ask questions or receive drink and food recommendations. My impression was that maybe she was new? The manager watched her talk with us, but didn't step in when we couldn't all communicate effectively. This was the first and last time we ever saw our waitress. The bartender took over the dining room from there. One point of confusion was the absence of chips and salsa at our table. At most Mexican restaurants, this is typically a complimentary starter. We weren't served any, but later observed other tables receiving them. It appeared that chips and salsa may need to be ordered separately, but there was no clear indication of this on the menu or from the staff. On a positive note, the food arrived quickly and was served hot. The enchiladas were well-presented and came with a generous selection of sides including pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream (all included, no extra charge). The green sauce was flavorful with a good level of spice--definitely a highlight. The margarita, however, was underwhelming. It was served in a large cup, which was promising at first glance, but it tasted heavily diluted and juice-forward--more style than substance. We ordered churros for dessert, which turned into a frustrating experience. After waiting an hour (we could NOT get the manager or the bartenders attention sooner because they were hectically running around) we finally were able to request an update from the manager. The manager then brought out the dessert with an apology. We were told they'd be on the house from the manager themselves, due to the delay, but the final bill still included the charge hand-delivered by the manager. Clear lack of attention to detail. Throughout our visit, the restaurant only had five tables occupied, yet the overall atmosphere felt chaotic and poorly managed. If service becomes this scattered during a slow night, it's difficult to imagine how they might handle a larger group or busy service. On a more positive note, the decor was beautiful and thoughtfully curated, giving the space a warm and inviting ambiance. One final note: the restaurant appears to operate under two different names, which caused confusion when searching for directions. It's unclear why this is the case, and it made it difficult to confirm if we were arriving at the correct location. In summary, while there were some highlights in terms of food and ambiance, the service and organization left much to be desired. I'm open to giving the restaurant another try, but only under the right circumstances.

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.
