“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 !!!!“

“The people at Cocina de Maria were very nice to me. I had wanted the chorizo and cheese dip but they didn't have an ingredient so they offered a beans substitute instead. I still enjoyed it but couldn't finish my food because it was so much and I had a long drive.
The tacos were great and the food felt very authentic Mexican. I don't lice close to the area but I was very happy with their hospitality and food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicias Latinas is delicious! :) I love the atmosphere of the decor inside, and they are always keeping it cool, so if you opt to sit indoors, be mindful of needing something with sleeves. The decor is bright, the people are friendly, and there is usually music playing (or the TV is on). The food is authentic and well-made. I feel like this is one of the places that you can't go wrong, depending on what you order, because everything is good on the menu. Fun Fact: The family who owns this location owns the bakery going into the Morristown (from MP, on the left, by the laundry place) - it always has a crazy line in the morning, but they make the best corn biscuit/things, they are so, so good! I recommend coming here if you're in the mood for Latin food.“

“This place is pretty good fellow foodies. It’s fairly price as well; not too pricey!!
•Nothing is really over 20 except the full Red snapper dinner @25.
•Normally I’d start the paragraph with the “bad” then go to the good!!,
But can’t really because of one time they rushed cooked it on the whole fish dinner and it wasn’t as seasoned and tasty as the other two(2) times!!
•It is home cooked meal style and not fast food profile!~~in terms of style and taste!
You will not be disappointed.
I saw a previous commenter above that said small portions were their curse;
Didn’t think so!!
I mean we could always sue more of a good thing right?
Vegetarian options: Didn’t make a list. I eat meat.
Parking: You’ll always find a space
Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance from street! Totally great“
