“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.”

“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.”

“A surprising find in Livingston. Not only was the food tasted good, the service was also great. The restaurant is clean and bright with colorful decors of Mexican soda (creative touch). A chef was cooking all the food behind the counter and a young lady was taking orders and serving the readied food to each table.”

“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 !!!!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

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.”

Enjoyed the Mexican street corn, one of my favorites. The place was nice and had a good ambiance. Like the use of the garage doors to make the place feel more open”

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 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.”

“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.”
