La Fortaleza made the announcement on their social media pages, but did not provide an address or opening date.
Arturo Ortegas opened the restaurant's first location in Passaic 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.
The restaurant recently opened on Paterson Plank Road in Carlstadt, in the space was formerly occupied by Lola's Tequila House.
