“Bubbakoo's Burritos is amazing! The food is fresh, the atmosphere is clean, warm and inviting, and the kids loved the churros. The burritos are huge, nachos are delicious, and quesadillas are tasty. Service is quick and attentive. Can’t wait to order a taco box for our next party!“

“Wow!! This restaurant really impressed me. Went here tonight for dinner with a girlfriend. Service was impeccable and the food was amazing. The yellowfin tuna app was the best I’ve ever had. My scallop entree was flavorful and delicious. My gf also loved her shrimp entree. Loved that instead of bringing your to go bag to your table they give u a number to grab on your way out. A+ all the way. I will be back.“

“Food is awesome. Service is top notch.“

“A great new addition to the Livingston Circle. Everything that I have tried off the menu was fantastic. Especially the quesadillas, fries and the dessert options. They even have a mobile app for ordering and rewards. Highly recommended if you love great Mexican food.“

“Tried their dessert - love chips - amazing!“

“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!“

“Alyssa our server was very attentive We had an Awesome experience! The drinks were out fast and our food was Great!“

“It’s seems to be slacking. The ladies restroom has no trash bin in the general area. They had toilet paper on the ground today. Most days it’s clean but not today. I do see young employees talking amongst themselves while working. Which is not a problem. But when the tables, trash buns and utensils and fresh drinks need to be refilled to refreshed. It’s a problem.“

“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 !!!!“

“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.“

“I don’t want to say what I ordered because I don’t want to set expectations for others… but I will say it was the best I have ever had, including california and south america. Food took a bit of time, but I knew from smelling the food when we arrived that it was going to be good. What made it so great was the flavor of the meat. I am so happy we found this place. Coming back often!“

“Delicious with excellent service.“

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

“If you want the BEST food for your dollar, this place is AMAZING. Honestly, make sure you tip them well because everyone in the area goes there and they are killing themselves to keep up with demand. If you enjoy burritos, the selection is to die for. Portions are generous and service is friendly and helpful. DO NOT pass this place by!!!! Quesadillas, carne asada, tres carnitas, anything you could possibly want. Just go.“

“If you like Mexican and Indian food, you must try masalamex! Everything I ordered was so good. I will definitely come back here!“

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10“

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

“This is the bes restaurant i've ever tried. This restaurant has the best bartender ever. His name is Jesus he's kind he also recomends drinks i cannot gon on the bar cause im 10 years old but i've seen this amazing person helping people choose what the should get. This is the only reason why I gave the 5 🌟“

“Wonderful people, great food. Always an enjoyable experience!“

“Every single dish was amazing and packed with flavor! There are so many fun appetizers to choose from and a variety of tasty entrees as well. So many dishes have a creative twist and that's what makes this place so unique and exciting to try. I'm still thinking about those crispy chicken bao buns. We'll definitely be back“

“nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good food at a reasonable price“

“First time customer. I got two beef tortas and one chicken milanesa torta. The bread was fresh, meat tender and so flavorful with just the right amount of heat. Even the fries were well seasoned and crispy. The cheese, crema and avocado added balance to all the flavors. Excellent service and experience overall. I would have taken photos but I was too busy eating! This will become my Mexican food mainstay from now on.“

“fresh food, good portions, and everything actually got flavor. The chicken was seasoned perfect, queso was great, and the bowl was made exactly how I wanted it. The Staff, Chantel was awesome and fast too. Definitely one of my favorite spots“

“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.“

“shoutout to my girl lesly!!! i walked in for the first time not knowing what to expect from this place and she made it feel so welcoming and warm. miss chatterbox in the best way, it felt like i was visiting a long time friend. the food was absolutely delicious too. make the visit if you’re in the area, i know i’m going to come again while i’m on a work trip!!! <3“

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

“I ate here yesterday, and even though it was a 40 minute drive, I'm HEAVILY debating going back today.😍 The employees were all so sweet and helpful. It was my first time in. Food came quick. Chipotle, Moe's and Qdoba wish they had the flavor that this place has!! I got the bowl with Chorizo and a bunch of toppings. The food was so fresh and flavorful. It may be a little difficult to get through with the turn around, but it's beyond worth it to me. To reiterate....all the employees were amazing! So patient, and so kind, and as someone who can be a little anxious when ordering i can't articulate enough how good that makes me feel. Didn't get a picture of ny food because I basically unhinged my jaw like a snake and inhaled it. 😅“

“Food was delicious with great proportions, not too much not overwhelming. I was skeptical looking at the price of the street corn but it turned into shock when I saw how the corn was presented. It felt like I was eating at a high end expensive restaurant while still serving a pretty big portion.“

“I've been here 3 times in the last 5 days. I got birria tacos two days in a row. I also explored other menu options and ate the carnitas tacos too. Overall fantastic place, food is fantastic, staff are great and vibes are there. I have a gluten allergy and the staff were very accommodating, I never had any sort of reaction.“

“Better than chipolte. Great food“

“We LOVE Tacoria!! The manager & staff are amazing. They recently donated gift cards for my daughter’s school for Teachers Appreciation Week! The manager was super friendly and excited to support the community and local educators. The food being great is just a bonus. Can’t wait to dine here again soon!“

“👎👍👍👍👎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“This is a hidden gem in Morris County right on the border of Berkeley Heights and Long Hill. The restaurant feels like you are right in Mexico -- the ambiance, service, and food are exquisite. I love the Sonora and Mazatlan! Only thing is the restaurant is very small with minimal parking.“

“¡¡Qué delicia de lugar !! , excelente ambiente y atención.“

“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!“

“Came here today and was impressed with the authenticity of their tacos! Fresh, Homemade corn tortillas made in house were delicious and elevated the tacos flavor. The suadero and al pastor were absolutely amazing! Will be coming back soon.
If you are considering, stop thinking about it and just GO!“

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

“We love Qdoba in Westfield! Super friendly staff and delicious food! We especially love the fresh guacamole! 😋“

“This meal was absolutely outstanding. The chicken sandwich was perfectly crispy, the bread was fresh, and every bite tasted homemade with real care. The restaurant delivered perfect quality across the board, from the flavorful food to the warm, welcoming atmosphere.“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

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

“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 place for burritos in the county, great variety of different kinds of meals and at a fair price to boot. The other day I came here I was helped by a supervisor named Mariah who went above and beyond for me and my friend, will always come back here!“

“I decided to try Blue Habanero for the first time and ordered takeout. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and outstanding customer service. The staff was friendly, professional, and had my order ready in a timely manner.

While I waited, I noticed how clean and well-kept the restaurant was, which always says a lot about a place. Once I got home and dug into my meal, I was blown away. The food was fresh, full of authentic Mexican flavor, and you could tell it was made with quality ingredients. Every bite was seasoned perfectly, and everything tasted like it had just come off the grill.

It’s not easy to find a restaurant that delivers excellent customer service and amazing food, even with takeout, but Blue Habanero exceeded my expectations. My first visit was a great experience, and it definitely won’t be my last. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican cuisine that’s fresh, flavorful, and worth every bite, I highly recommend giving Blue Habanero a try.“

“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!“

“I have been a customer since opening day way back when. Today, I was a bit disappointed. Jose's rice was extremely salty. 2 of us could not eat it. I am disappointed in the nachos. You used to have fabulous flour tortilla chips. Not any more. They are corn. Overdone. Not a fan. Tortillas were great, especially the duo of skirt steak and chicken. Go back to the old flour tortilla nachos!“

“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.“

“Our biggest reason for trying this place out was the TROMPO - the vertical meat roasting machine that they cook al pastor meat on…

Delicious tacos, guacamole and horchata.

We ordered the tacos Al Pastor and they were very good. The meat was a little dry but it was well seasoned, generous portions and double tortillas for each taco

Horchata was serviced in a plastic cup that was sealed (like the ones at bubble tea shops)

Red salsa and green salsa were both delicious

Only critique is that they put pico de gallo on the tacos - which isn’t normal nor traditional. They do ask if you want it that way when ordering - so for a more traditional style, just ask them to put onions and cilantro only.“

“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.“

“I enjoyed my experience here, I recently moved to the area and wanted to try this place since it was close by, some of the reviews had me concerned but once I got there everything turned out great, the tacos were absolutely delicious and my girlfriend had a burrito which was also great. I enjoyed my experience, I’m glad I gave it a shot. Prices were reasonable, some other places are charging $18 for an order of 3 taco…insane…anyways I like this place“
