“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 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!“

“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 !!!!“

“recently ordered catering from District Taco - Clark, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and a big hit with everyone. They also included all the supplies we needed, which made setup easy and stress-free.

On top of that, the customer service was outstanding. The staff member who helped me over the phone was friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the ordering process.

Overall, fantastic food and excellent service — I would definitely order from them again and highly recommend their catering!“

“I would like to start this off by saying I wish I could give more than 5 stars for this place. When I tell you this is one of the best Mexican food restaurants I’ve had, I mean it. I’ve had so much Mexican food because it’s just all so good, but I often find some of the prices are a bit much. I find macho nacho has some of the best prices I have ever seen at a Mexican restaurant! It’s unbelievable! Now for starters, the customer service is great! They are all so nice and are very helpful. The food comes out extremely quick and they give you two sauce bottles for free, and you just give it back to them when you are done. All of the vegetables and everything are so fresh too! I will say the menu is so big and me personally I’m very indecisive but that’s a personal problem not the restaurants problem. This is 100% the Mexican place to go if you are ever in town. I have had the burritos and the quesadillas and never once have I had anything bad! Not only that but everything is always so hot. I’ve had it to go and walked around and everything and after about 30 minutes it’s still hot! Not only that but they do not skimp on anything, all the food is always stuffed to the brim, it’s so filling!“

“Great service, atmosphere, and food. The restaurant was lively and crowded on a Friday evening, with a fun, bustling vibe and tasteful decor. Service was prompt and attentive, efficient without feeling rushed. Cocktails were excellent, and both starters and mains were fresh, well-portioned, and delicious. We loved our experience and highly recommend it. Parking can be a bit tricky, but it’s worth it for the overall experience.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Delicious for eating in or taking out. I prefer to eat at this beautiful restaurant if I have the time. As I vegetarian I appreciate the delicious veggie entrees, and the complementary chips and salsa are wonderful!“

“Sooo good! Better than chipotle and qdoba. It is around the same price as the other restraints mentioned. Very flavorful meat. Honestly, I was very surprised of how good this was. They gave good portions as well. The only negative thing is that it took them so long to make the order and we were like the only people there… but other than that I loved it. I wish they open a location closer to me!!“

“f you’re craving bold flavor and a vibrant atmosphere, Maize Cocina & Cocktails absolutely delivers. From the beautifully plated dishes to the handcrafted cocktails, every detail feels intentional and elevated. The menu offers a modern twist on traditional Latin cuisine, with rich flavors and fresh ingredients that make each bite memorable.

The ambiance strikes the perfect balance—energetic yet intimate—making it ideal for date night, brunch with friends, or a celebratory dinner. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, enhancing the overall experience.

Maize isn’t just a meal—it’s a vibe. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy great food, strong cocktails, and even better energy.“

“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.“

“Good place to go great food“

“I haven’t had Qdoba in so long so when I walked in, I was indecisive on what I should get. Lily was so sweet and patient. She allowed me to taste test two of the items that I was thinking about ordering so I can get the best one I liked. Also Maritza and Gabe was very patient and helpful too! They were all kind, very approachable, and very friendly. This customer service that I received today from this crew at the this location couldn’t go unnoticed! Give them all raises, I love that they love to make their customers happy. THANK YOU Lily, Maritza, and Gabe! You matter, keep up with the AMAZING customer service!“

“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!“

“We had a really long wait for food however other than that we are extremely happy.

Huge portion sizes, lots of meat, absolutely delicious, really authentic food. 100% would recommend this place.

Sorry we didn't get any pics we just went straight into eating 😂 next time we'll try to remember to take pics before.“

“Better than chipolte. Great food“

“The food is incredible. Top tier burritos, tacos and more. And even better than the food is the service, wish is always a pleasure. The owners are incredible dudes and really care about the customer. I’m always happy to give Tacoria my business“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Decided to try the New Mexican spot in town and it did not disappoint. Food was great and the portion sizes are huge, wasn’t able to finish my burrito. The decore and service is very traditional and felt like home. Definitely recommend you try!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 ! 😋“

“impeccable food and service and super cozy atmosphere“

“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 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 ?“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“
