50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Berkeley Heights

“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.“

“Food is awesome. Service is top notch.“

“Tried their dessert - love chips - amazing!“

“Very delicious food. Stopped by in the evening looking for a quick bite. I ordered the shrimp tacos and the al pastor which are my two favorite types of tacos. Both tasted really great, however the al pastor had a much better flavor overall.
I also tried the chips and salsa. Chips tasted like they are fried in house (in a good way) I didn't love the salsa too much. The texture and flavor was a little off for me. Maybe there are beans blended in? Not worth docking a star for this because overall I really enjoyed my meal and will be back again.
Atmosphere is very nice as well. The decor is welcoming and the staff was really friendly as well.“

“Unbelievable dinner & Drinks! Will definitely be back :)“

“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 !!!!“

“We're local business owners in Springfield, NJ and just discovered Tierra Del Sol as a wonderful spot for lunch!

Friendly greeting when we walked in, quick table service and the food is fresh and very flavorful! We each had Quesadilla's de Carne Asada (Steak) - and the serving sizes were big, we each only ate half and too the rest home.

We will most definitely be back soon!“

“Last night I had the pleasure of dining at Maize Cocina & Cocktails in Westfield, NJ — and let me tell you, if you love Mexican food and crave an elevated dining experience, this is the spot! 🌮✨

Everything was incredible, but my favorites were the maize croquettes, crabmeat tostadas, and the whole fish adobo — absolutely delicious. They’ve also added some exciting new dishes like the Tamarind Sticky Duck Breast and Pork Chop Amarillo that you’ll definitely want to try.

If you’re planning a visit, go between Thursday and Sunday — those are their action days! Trust me, if you’re looking for a great vibe and even better food, Maize is the place to be. 🍹🔥“

“Dear Zach, Chris and team The ambience, the food, the service, the attention to detail made for an amazing birthday dinner. Having lived in Mexico for many years you do a great job at elevating the food to the next level. We can't wait to return during the holidays!!“

“Good place to go great food“

“Ordered steak tacos, sides of rice n beans, and the Mexican corn. All of it was delicious. The steak was a bit chewy but everything was well seasoned. The tacos came with a few potatoes, jalapeño, sautéed onions, radish and the typical toppings of cilantro and onion.
The tortillas looked and tasted fresh/homemade. The green and red sides of sauce were tasty and had a kick.
The rice and beans were perfect little sides and the beans were really good. I prefer the beans honestly over other restaurants ive had.
The mexican corn was one long stick, typically its cut into pieces but I loved it and it was a great. Would order it all again but skip the rice - the beans tho, get the beans, lol.“

“Great food, great workers, amazing portion sizes.“

“Fantastic food. Unbelievable lunch specials (until 2:30). Regular menu offers anything you might want, but it is a bit pricey and worth it. BYO. Last time we did that we shared our home made sangria with the staff. We made friends for life. This is going back to 1997 for that incident. Go! And enjoy“

“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.“

“La comida está muy bien. Tiene bien servicio. Lo recomiendo“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“This spot is great! We love going here or getting take out. The patio is wonderful when the weather is nice. Service is always timely and the food is great, super reliable. We dined in the other night and our daughter (10 months) was starting to get restless and a staff member came out with a balloon for her. She was calm and happy and we were able to enjoy the rest of our meal. It was really thoughtful. I can’t recommend enough!“

“Better than chipolte. Great food“

“Delivery Order: Food arrived on time and packaged well. Taste and quantity was pretty good for the price. Chilaquiles is usually by go to order when trying a new Mexican restaurant and while it was definitely good it was not the best I have tasted so knocked off 1 star.“

“Friendly service, delicious fajitas, homemade guacamole, shrimp tacos, and chicken soup were some of my favorites!!“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

“The highlights are definitely the chipotle chicken. Tried the carne asada and it was alright. The green sauce and lime definitely brought its score up. I wanted to try the short rib but apparently it’s pork. But I hear it’s good. It’s a really cute spot, though a bit pricey.“

“The best nachos I’ve ever had in my life! Plus amazing tacos that don’t need to be covered half a pound of shredded cheddar to be delicious. This place is legit!“

“This one girl who I met was chill glad they have "great" waiter 10/10??The Alfredo was great. The people are pretty chill and and food has nice flavor and pretty good variety. I wanna say the wait time was great and price wasn't too much for a meal.“

“We got the chicken quesadilla and tamales, they were fresh, hot and delicious. The decor is fun too! It's a great casual spot for Mexican dishes, definitely recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly place, even have a kids menu.“

“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.“

“I had an incredible experience at the Qdoba in Union thanks to Marissa and Gabriel. From the moment I walked in, both of them had great energy and made the whole visit feel welcoming.

Marissa was super attentive, patient, and made sure every part of my order was exactly how I wanted it. Gabriel was just as impressive — fast, friendly, and really knew how to put a bowl together with care. You can tell they both take pride in their work.

It’s rare to find staff who go above and beyond, but Marissa and Gabriel absolutely did. Because of them, this location stands out. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“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 ! 😋“

“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.“

“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“

“impeccable food and service and super cozy atmosphere“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“best tacos i’ve had in a long time hands down!! tacos were delicious, meat perfectly seasoned and cooked and the fresh handmade tortillas were a standout. beautiful presentation on everything, you can tell there is love in this food. would highly recommend!“

“Always delicious, always delectable! Every dish I've ever had, which is most of the dinner selections & many for lunch, is absolutely mouth watering. Generous portions of great food for a very reasonable price- what more can you ask for? You can get take out or stay in, where the music always sets the mood for Tex-Mex food. The owner is head chef & really knows how to whip up a satisfying & filling meal. I'm so fortunate this wonderful restaurant is close enough to be a regular!“

“Delicious food and so nice and friendly! The best quesadilla’s I have ever had!!“

“Excellent service clean restaurant fresh ingredients employees are amazing staff and the most important part loveeeee the welcoming we received from all employees this restaurant deserve 100 stars moes Florham park recommended 100%“

“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 ?“

“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!“

“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!“

“Good food friendly staff good location fresh food hot food“
