Mexico Deli Restaurant in Passaic or La Fortaleza in Garfield. Both are authentic and amazing!

They put a new La Fortaleza restaurant in Carlstadt where the Mr G’s used to be. Not sure if it’s open yet.

I have a hard time with this one. All Mexican food tastes the same to me. Everything has the same basic ingredients, it's just presented in different shapes. Burritos, Chimichangas, Enchildadas, Tacos, it's all the same gloppy meat/cheese/rice/beans with different wraps.

I do like the restaurant Juanito's in Red Bank, but I don't ever order the basic Mexican food there. They have a dish called Camarones Diablo--jumbo shrimp with a hot garlic sauce, but it isn't really "Mexican" except for the rice and beans on the side, just jumbo shrimp with some heat, and it's GOOD. They do have a vegetable enchilada that's really good--again, not actually traditional Mexican, but pretty tasty.

My friend, however, adores the big-ass burrito they have of which she takes half home.

And Red Bank isn't exactly North Jersey.

Its the same ingredients rearranged is what most budget mexican restaurants in America serve. Its the most likely feasible menu in this level of cost of business. Margaritas is how they make money.
