“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.“

“If your looking for a good meal at a good price, try Sombrero Tacoria Livingston. A nice Mexican restaurant with quality food. My daughter suggested we try the spot and it did not disappoint. The store is clean, food is fresh, and the staff is friendly. If you are looking for change from hamburgers and pizza give the spot a try and I guarantee you will be back for more.“

“Tried their dessert - love chips - amazing!“

“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 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!“

“SOOOOO TASTY!! Honestly, best bang for your buck. Portions are HUGE and so affordable
We got the chicken fajitas - amazing. Sooooo much chicken! And a burrito which was the fattest burrito I’ve ever seen lol
Chicken nachos were amazing and so was the empanada
Way. Too. Much. Food 🤣but will make amazing leftovers!!“

“Delicious with excellent service.“

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

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

“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!“

“Food is delicious, drinks are fantastic. Horchata is definitely not real or whatever blend they got isn't good but the strawberry dragonfruit is a must. No tunes is a bummer but the workers are amazing. Gio and Julian really make this place special and went above and beyond to make sure my order was perfect! Definitely 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.“

“We would recommend the Coconut Grilled chicken and red grapes salad. Tasty to the last drop. We also enjoyed dining outside in this beautiful weather.“

“a few things i had over the years....

i tried these two guacs with a friend and we loved them!

SERRANO MARMALADE
Serrano, Lime & Agave

this one was sweet and spicy but the spicy was not overwhelming. very good!

BLACK CHILI CRUNCH
Confit Black Garlic, Pickled Fresno Chilis, Chili de Arbol Garlic Crunch

this one was my favorite! the italian in me loves garlic lol. just so many flavors is was very good.

we had enough chips to eat all the guacs :) great choices!

chicken taquitos- my favorite! crispy and juicy chicken. they put a mix of green salsa verde and creamy chipotle sauce. has a kick but not bad. i did take off the onion because i didn't want onion. which i didn't know they put it on so i'll say no onion next time.

rice and beans were very flavorful. love the cilantro and cheese on top. nice size too.

chips were very good as well. crispy and not oily. but very salty. i have to be honest. next time i need to ask if they have unsalted chips. sometimes its too much. but over all everything was perfect and staff was very friendly too.“

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

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

“Wonderful people, great food. Always an enjoyable 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“

“The service provided is outstanding. Attentive and friendly service all around. The menu isn’t necessarily what I expected , but there is a variety of common and popular dishes. The location and parking is conveniently located for all patrons. Thanks for a memorable night“

“Better than chipolte. Great food“

“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.“

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

“Love coming here whenever I need something quick and filling. I usually go for the burrito box with chips and it always hits the spot. The friendly atmosphere behind the counter always keeps me coming back though. A greeting from Will behind the counter is like meeting a town celebrity. He knows every face that walks through that door, it’s pretty entertaining to watch.“

“Birria Tacos were amazing and so well seasoned.“

“Such a great spot for tacos, and I had the best server! I tried the beef birria tacos, pescado tacos, chicken tacos, and beef nacho fries, and everything was packed with flavor.

The birria tacos tasted so good! The beef was tender, flavorful. My pescado tacos were fresh and flavorful, & the chicken tacos were juicy and well-seasoned. The beef nacho fries were also a must-try, with generous toppings and plenty of flavor in every bite. Also the restaurant is family friendly I had an infant with me and my friends, they were super accommodating to us and made us feel so welcomed!!“

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

“Went there for the first time and left being a big fan. Food was super fresh and full of authentic flavor. You can always judge a place by their gauc and Tacoria’s is fire. I highly recommend adding the chiptole sauce to your burrito. Staff was super nice and it was easy to order. Will be back again (:“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“👎👍👍👍👎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“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.“

“A beautiful, elevated setup for a thali spot—definitely a much-needed addition compared to other Gujarati thali places in NJ. The food tasted amazing, and the service was top-notch with prompt refills throughout the meal. I especially appreciated how kid-friendly they are; they didn't force a full thali on our child, which prevented unnecessary food waste. A fantastic experience overall!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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! 😋“

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

“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 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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

“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!“

“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!“
