La Fortaleza is opening on Paterson Plank Road in Carlstadt next month. The space was formerly home to Lola's Tequila House.
The restaurant has three other locations in Garfield, Clifton and Passaic.
La Fortaleza was founded by Arturo Ortegas, with a Passaic location in 2001, with a desire to bring authentic Mexican food to New Jersey.
He started by selling a popular Mexican street sandwich, "cemitas," and word spread pretty quickly that La Fortaleza was the spot.
Later that year, Ortegas opened a larger location in Garfield, then a Clifton store in 2019.
La Fortaleza, 335 Paterson Plank Road, Carlstadt.
