“Best and affordable vegan restaurant downtown.“

“We chose La Colina Mexican Cantina in Warren NJ to celebrate 3 birthdays on 4/5/25. We were a party of 12 & tried a few of the beautifully crafted cocktails that were out of this world and so tasty we had to order more. We began our feast with a couple of platters of Nachos El Gordo that were huge and absolutely delicious and went perfectly with the chosen wines, margaritas, and assorted cocktails our family ordered. The cocktails were of the beautiful quality that we've only seen on TV during cooking shows or restaurant series. The edible flowers and the smoke emitting drinks were amazing. We were served by a wonderfully friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive waitress. She was able to answer every question and had plenty of patience for our crowd who were amazed by the menu. Especially the "Smart" menus that detail each item at the flip of your finger. What an upscale & impressive touch that is. After we ordered our entrees we enjoyed more cocktails and had some time to talk and enjoy the unbelievable decor that seemed to have an endless amount of thought and class put into the decor of this authentic Cantina. The service was beyond excellent and our meals came out hot and enticing and as pleasing to the eyes as it was to our pallets. This was authentic delicious, beautiful meals that made the party seem like were were enjoying fantastic Cantina style food right in Mexico. I highly recommend the burritos, enchiladas, the Mexican Caesar salad, fajitas and I'm sure that rest of the menu has to be outstanding if everything the 12 of us had was that delicious. Besides the wonderful service, drinks, food and authentic atmosphere, topping the celebration off was when the owner came over to our table , introduced himself and made sure everything was as fabulous as possible. Believe me it was. Then the Head Chef came out and asked if everything up to our expectations to which we all agreed this place out did every single Mexican restaurant we've ever been to. I highly recommend La Colina in Warren NJ and I know you won't be disappointed in the food , atmosphere or the service. We surely will be back !!!!“

“Food is delicious, my favorite are the Tacos Al Pastor they really taste like authentic Mexican tacos! All staff is super friendly!“

“We absolutely adore Mr. Cautus! Their food is simply delicious, and they make you feel like part of the family. We always bring our extended family along because there's plenty of space for everyone! We love trying all their specials—I think we’ve sampled just about everything on the menu! Our top picks are definitely the molcajete, shrimp a la diabla, and their amazing tacos. Overall, this place is fantastic, and I highly recommend it, especially for bigger gatherings. 🫶“

“Very happy to see this place continue to flourish after changing locations, and to see the same faces, too. The kids that work the register/answer the phone are always very friendly and polite, which is hard to come by these days.

As far as the food goes, I could blindfold myself and point to something random on the menu and still be blown away. Besides the typical crowd pleasers, do not sleep on the tortas, tostadas, or serrano salsa.

Seems to still be a local spot that has not been gentrified by 27 year olds that moved out of Hoboken and the city. I would go to war for Macho Nacho!“

“yep good food ill come back for sure“

“Recommended to take away because it has a smell, I don't know if it's the bathroom, but it smells like black water, apart from that, very delicious and varied food, different from the others in the area. ????? aaaa good cucumber water...“

“Very tasty food and wonderful folks. Would definitely recommend to guys and ladies who cherish Mexican food.“

“Food was very good and well presented. The staff was very attentive, but it was a tad noisy and that’s why I didn’t rate the atmosphere 5 stars. We had the tacos chicken and beef fajitas. Both were very good and the sides were fresh. The guacamole was especially delicious.“

“I recently had my daughter’s Bridal shower here and the food, drinks, service and atmosphere were excellent! I would definitely recommend Nom if you are looking to host a private event.“

“Great drinks great food highly recommend“

“It's a Great looking restaurant that provides indoor and outdoor seating. We have been doing our rounds in Morristown all summer, and this place made the list. The food was really fresh and tasty. Wish they had iced tea, but the bottled water was sufficient. The bbq nachos were very good and different than what you get from most places. My one suggestion is having a physical menu for your location. It's hard to have a no phone rule when you have to use it for the menu. Also, the landing page provides too many options. Too much work. I am old school and like a physical menu. Won't hold back that 5 star based on my menu preference, but hopefully, they will consider. I will go back again to try some more of their menu.“

“I have been coming here since they opened. The team is so friendly and welcoming! Food is fresh and delicious! Love getting the bowls and quesadillas. Which they customize to my liking:)The way they prepare to the service altogether is what keeps me coming back! My favorite location by far!

Vegetarian options: Would like more vegetable options. Grilled zucchini, carrots…etc.“

“Went for Cinco de Mayo with my boyfriend and our 1 year old and she loved the horchata and guacamole, we loved our food to ! 😋“

“We meet a cashier named Cora tonight I’m not sure how to spell her name but honestly She was the sweetest prettiest nicest thing you could ever meet. She recommended good dishes let us try a free sample and her customer service skills were all around top-notch Cora needs a raise.“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

“Pretty good- A lot like chipotle!“

“Try the beef soup or pozole. Great food and service.“

“Went here for dinner tonight the first time. Food was absolutely amazing. Stephanie was our host/server and she was fantastic at recommendations. Food was delicious. Will definitely make this my new Spanish go to restaurant. The Salvadorian Chicken Tamale was moist and dense, and the flavors mixed perfectly together. If you order the beef empanadas, ask them for their new homemade hot sauce. It's a perfect blend of sweet & heat to go with the pastry dough. Their plantains were a good addition of sweet to the dense of the meal. Their flan was the perfect size for a nice ending dessert to a very filling meal. Definitely a highly recommended place to get an excellent and very affordable meal.“

“We ordered here from Door Dash and this was BY FAR the best Mexican we have had since we've lived within 10 miles from here. 👏🏼 Everything we had; mixed fajitas (steak and chicken), flautas, tamales, enchiladas, Oreo moose cake, and the Tres Leches cake... was outstanding, even through delivery! 100% recommend! Not to mention, they actually got out entire order correct, which is rare these days! Thank you!“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“impeccable food and service and super cozy atmosphere“

“A great place to grab food with friendly service. We have tried many of the dishes with no complaints about any of them.“

“The food was great as well as the service. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Did you know that this Latin food place is around Morristown? So delicious!! I'm glad I found the place. I was craving for rice and beans so I did a Google maps search. I didn't order any beans but this curry shrimp rice was amazing. The server asked me if liked spicy food and I said I loved it. She gave me a chilli sauce and I said it's not that spicy. Then she handed me a secret sauce she said was not for everyone. It was pretty good because I love spicy food. They have so many options is ridiculous. I will definitely go back to try other things. The rice came with a salad and a thousand Island sauce topped with avocado. I couldn't finish the dish because it was so filling. Definitely a local GEM. It's not fancy but that's what I like. I got the rice and a Pina colada drink with no alcohol. The drink was ok and price was expensive for a lunch. With tips I gave $30 which is kinda pricey for a lunch. I could've had a pizza and a soda for less than $10. But if you have the money to spend, I think this is a very good place try. The price was decent considering the quality I got. I definitely recommend it.“

“8/10 I don't have any pics of the food I was hungry I Normally go to another place but decided to try this one. The steak wasn't really seasoned, the shrimp and the birra 10/10 well seasoned. Tastes amazing. I'll Def be returning“

“Authentic Mexican food, not the fake stuff. Highly recommend the chicken flautas and enchiladas verdes, delicious and spicy. Got the guacamole and nachos de carne asada for the appetizer and it didn’t disappoint. I Will definitely be coming back here In no time!“

“I saw the very mixed reviews on El Tenampa and wanted to try for myself. Unfortunately, here I am with a mixed review. Overall the experience was good, the chilaquiles were spicy but incredibly delicious, the place is small but cozy. However, we also ordered the gorditas and those were incredibly greasy. I’m Mexican, I know gorditas are not exactly healthy food, but ours were soaked in oil. Having said that, I will definitely go back to try other menu items because the variety is great and the seasoning is on point!“

“I love Bubbakoos. This was my first time trying out the Berkley heights one and it did not disappoint. Good food, friendly staff and clean environment. I recommend the birriadilla and the Chihuahua. None of these are an option to click in what dishes you recommend here so.“

“Omg the taco was beautiful with the limes on the side and the service was super friendly. When I bit into the taco I was amazed at how good it was 10x better than Taco Bell and Chipotle.

Parking: We just slid right into the driveway!

Kid-friendliness: They are always smiling to lids her and it was just a happy place.“

“El peor restaurante en el área el encargado con la peor actitud un patán prepotente abusivo no recomiendo este lugar basura a nadie. we went to this place for dinner with the family. the manager with the worst attitude ever didn't give us the table because we were waiting for 1 more person we told him he was 3 minutes away and with he's terrible attitude said no and after that he got mad because we grab on of the menus and told us to move out the way from the bar. He was so disrespectful. I would never recommend this place to nobody.“

“I come here often. It’s a good spot that has a lot of different varieties in central american food. The waitresses are extremely delightful and it’s overall a great place.

Parking: There are a couple of spots in front on the street and behind the restuarant they have free parking for customers!“

“The menu now has Mexican and items from south of the Mexican border! Absolutely loved it. The staff is very cordial.“

“I was there today for the first time and I loved the food, the place was very nice, it looked clean, a little noisy with the music very loud, but the very friendly girl turned it down but the food was very exquisite. I think I will return. I recommend tacos de birria su consume it was delicious ?“

“Me llegó el deliver. Calentito. Rápido. Exelente servicio“

“Great. Great. Great. Unbelievable customer service. Family owned for many years. Ordering pizza and any other items is always a great experience. The secret is in their sauce! The sauce is so succulent. I would highly recommend this place to all my friends and family.“
