Mexican Restaurants near Bernards

“Better than the other Chipotles, but still, they need to work on their cleanliness. The service was fine, and the food was good. It was an overall good experience, but it could have been even better if the tables were clean and the restroom wasn't dirty.“

“Best and affordable vegan restaurant downtown.“

“Sameerah was amazing!! Great customer service and accomodation to your needs and wants!!“

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

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

“Went to restaurant with a fairly large group. The staff were very accommodating and nice to us. Each person got something different and it was all good!“

“The breakfast burritos here are next level. This place deserves more than 5 stars. Staff is also super friendly. Been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. Food always tastes fresh and you can tell they do not cut corners in the kitchen.“

“Great experience! Me and my brothers had the birria tacos and they were delicious. My dad had the molcajete and it had a good amount of sliced beef, chicken, and chorizo. It was also accompanied with shrimp, cheese, and a side of rice. The Maracuya (passion fruit) agua fresca was great as well it wasn’t too sweet and more on the somewhat sour side. The dessert was great too we had the churros with ice cream.“

“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...“

“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 !!!!“

“La comida y la atención están muy bien al igual que la decoración. La tienda es espectacular. Lo que no nos gustó fue la música. Se supone que es un restaurante típico mexicano, entonces debería tener musica mexicana.“

“This place is exceptional. The food is great. The atmosphere is fun, and the service is timely and always delivered with a smile. This is a family business made up of good decent hard working people. And the prices for the portions delivered are incredible. Can't wait to go back and get my fill!!!“

“Totally enjoyed the fish tacos and nachos, especially knowing they have a dedicated fryer for gluten free people like me.“

“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!“

“Place is so dope and the foooooodddd tooo gooood. Semi pricey but good very good. Wasn’t crazy about their tres leche but overall good experience. They should play more Spanish music since it’s a Mexican spot. I meannnn place is called orale.“

“It was my first time ordering food from here. I ordered take out, the service was decent. It Felt like i was being dismissed pretty quick. The food was good, it had great taste. And the atmosphere of the place was nice too.
However, I do think the prices are a bit high. I wasn’t expecting to pay $37 for my order.“

“This place really hit the spot. After building up an appetite at the nearby Great Swamp and Raptor Trust, I headed here for lunch on Labor Day with two of my chums. I was a little nervous because we showed up right around 2PM and Casa Maya's website indicated they closed for a bit at 2:30PM, but they let us in and got us a legit meal in time.

The parking situation is a bit awkward and took some navigating. The best comp I can give is the Flatiron Building in New York; the building is basically at the end of a narrow triangle (aka Meyersville and Hickory Tavern), so you have enough space for one or two cars to comfortably pull in on the side, but otherwise it's too close to the road and you end up jutting out into traffic. My chum had to park behind the restaurant and a few other buildings, but it could have been worse. Thankfully I spotted a sign nearby with additional parking instructions or we might have had to have gotten a little more creative in that regard.

The one major negative here is that it feels VERY cluttered and claustrophobic in the restaurant. I didn't see enough of the interior to confirm if they just built in too many tables/booths, but each dining area has a very high partition that makes it feel even smaller. It may just depend on your perspective - some might consider it cozy - but if I have to position my body at certain angles to comfortably navigate the restaurant and my booth, that's a problem for me.

I've stayed away from burritos for a while after experiencing some substandard ones in the Financial District, but I decided to make a comeback with the Tijuana Burrito, which featured marinated pork. I thought it was super tasty. I don't think this type of Mexican restaurant/food would ever be considered truly authentic ethnic cuisine - sort of the Sweet & Sour Chinese takeout equivalent, I suppose - but I'm a huge fan. For someone like me with a texture-based palate who doesn't typically like crunchy stuff in the middle of something soft, this was perfect - everything was saucy and ground down, if that makes sense. The pork was juicy and flavorful, and the sauces were great. It was a very decent portion that I probably only finished because of how many steps I'd accrued in the Swamp.

The service was very good, especially when you consider that they needed to get us our food well before the 2:30PM closure. The food was made to order and yet came out within minutes, allowing us to comfortably consume our entrees. They DID push us out a little after 2:30PM, but I really didn't have an issue with that - we were done with the food and they could have just not allowed new customers in by the time we came in (and we knew about the closure ahead of time). An understandable kick in the rump.

I'm rarely in this area but I'd absolutely come back, especially now that I understand the weird triangle parking lot situation.“

“There are some restaurants/cafes/joints, and the moment you enter, you get the vibe, and you know you are at the right place. This is one of those places and another cool place to hang out with friends in Morristown downtown.

We had
* Hand Crafted Tacos ( 3 Pc)- Chicken
* Burrito Box- comes with chicken over rice, black beans, cheese, salsa,

On the side, we had-
* Mexican Street Corn (Go for it) and
* Chips & Guacamole – chips were so fresh & crunchy

Drink-
they had inhouse Guava-Basil & Horchata flavor drinks (I missed their bottle though)

We had our food there only and why not, why miss the cool ambiance & music… we enjoyed our food out there…

Ambiance- top-notch, rugged/casual vibe, Graffiti in different languages, murals/wall art, hip hop music- So cool

The celling sign- AMORESVIDA (Love for life)- that was too cool…

price was also reasonable.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“Live a town over and always shopped in the shopping center. Saw the place open a few years ago, but I don’t usually go for Mexican food. My friend recommended the place to me so I went with him to try it out. The staff was very helpful and quick. Only took a few minutes for my food to be brought to the table. Best steak quesadillas ever, plus I got enough to take the rest home for dinner. This place is a little pricey, but it’s worth it. Miles better than Taco Bell or chipotle. This is one of my regular spots now!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Great drinks great food highly recommend“

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

“We had our first Bubbakoo’s last night and it was better than Chipotle. And I LOVE Chipotle. I have a new favorite though. Can’t wait for next time!“

“This is a must go restaurant!! The food is amazing🤩🤩As well as the service! The volume of the music isn’t loud as other Mexican restaurants and you can actually can chat with people at your table and enjoy the food…and I loved that! Highly recommended it👍👍.“

“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!“

“Pretty good- A lot like chipotle!“

“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!“

“The food is delicious, and the portions are huge! The service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be returning.“

“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.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“The food was great the first time, to go, but when I sat down, it didn't remind me how great it was the first time. The food overall was good, but the guac wasn't fresh. If you know, you can spot the real difference when it's hand made or out of a packaging tube. I would recommend the tacos con carne con Todo. I wasn't too sure on what the pricing was, and I have been scammed for fees at other "authentic Latino places". But I ended up paying 25 ish with tip for 4 tacos and a small guac. I give it a 4.2/5 rating. Ohh and they have fresh drinks on hand that I will have to try next time.“

“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!“

“I spent my last Saturday at this place with my friends. We did ordered lot of food and each and every item was fabulous in taste. Services we're very good staff are very polite and kind in nature. A day well worth. I would like to recommend you too!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great food , loves cakes , great catering“
