50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Gillette

“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.“

“Best and affordable vegan restaurant downtown.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“This ia great value. My gf and I get breakfast for under $15 and dinner under $20 and we are full and satisfied. One of the few places in Morristown where I can get great eats with a few bucks in my pocket. Every item we ate has been great. We even go back when we want to save money but have something tasty.“

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

“We were originally a bit concerned as we were told we had a waiter in training, but he was excellent. Mole chicken enchiladas had a great flavor but way too much sauce. We tried a different guac than usual and it was excellent as well. The place was a bit noisy with a number of kids.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Birria Tacos were amazing and so well seasoned.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“Great drinks great food highly recommend“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“impeccable food and service and super cozy atmosphere“

“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 ! 😋“

“Really hit the spot! Amazing coffee drinks, breakfast all day, and cute servers! ?“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

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

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

“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!“
