Just about all Mexican restaurants here are authentic but are there any that are chains like Panda Express that serves free chips?

Did you just say authentic Mexican and then chain in the same breath?

La Fortaleza usually does whether for takeout/delivery or dining in, they’d pair it with salsa. They’re also a chain technically since they have 5 locations across North NJ.

If it’s a chain it’s mex-American or Tex mex

I think the majority of sit down Mexican restaurants I go to give free chips and salsa when you dine in. In Middlesex county there is Jose Tejas, on the border and chevys that are all chains and all have free chips and salsa. Since you tagged central nj these are all on rt 1 between Woodbridge and Lawrenceville

Is Los Gueros either of these two? Serious question.

Baja fresh is a surprisingly authentic for a chain

I would not say restaurant but Surf Taco chips are free, their sauces are great and Taco, Burritos and Bowls are way better than Chipolte..

Definitely a chain, since it has a gringo style I’m going tk have to call it mex American
Edit: they have a Cubana they call a “Mexican” style sandwich and that makes me irrationally angry

Fandango in West Orange. Food is delicious and free chips+salsa when you eat there.

Fiesta Mexico in Orangeburg is legit and has chips, but it’s right across the border

I haven’t been to an on the border in years. I think they do a table side guacamole. But really how different are any of these fast casual restaurants anyway?

River rail in Cranford for free chips. Not a chain, but also not very authentic

The one I was thinking of Lawernceville is gone, I just looked it up. But, two locations still in NJ.

Please don’t be that person, sitting in a table, expecting the server to keep getting you free chips and salsa.

Go to Jose Tejas for tex mex.

I don't think I've been offered free chips in a real Mexican restaurant. By real I mean the places in New Brunswick like Oaxaqeños, which is a hole in the wall but good and opened like 22 hours a day

I mean I don’t know about authentic but since you asked about chains too, Chili’s has free chips & salsa if you put in your phone number.
