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.“

“Food is awesome. Service is top notch.“

“Best and affordable vegan restaurant downtown.“

“A great new addition to the Livingston Circle. Everything that I have tried off the menu was fantastic. Especially the quesadillas, fries and the dessert options. They even have a mobile app for ordering and rewards. Highly recommended if you love great Mexican food.“

“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.“

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

“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 !!!!“

“Ive been going here for years for mainly for the burritos. Originally it was for the breakfast burritos and now it's for their firebird lunch burrito. They are always tasty,huge and reasonably priced. Under $10 for a gigantic burrito? What is this 2010?“

“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.“

“f you’re craving bold flavor and a vibrant atmosphere, Maize Cocina & Cocktails absolutely delivers. From the beautifully plated dishes to the handcrafted cocktails, every detail feels intentional and elevated. The menu offers a modern twist on traditional Latin cuisine, with rich flavors and fresh ingredients that make each bite memorable.

The ambiance strikes the perfect balance—energetic yet intimate—making it ideal for date night, brunch with friends, or a celebratory dinner. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, enhancing the overall experience.

Maize isn’t just a meal—it’s a vibe. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy great food, strong cocktails, and even better energy.“

“Delicious for eating in or taking out. I prefer to eat at this beautiful restaurant if I have the time. As I vegetarian I appreciate the delicious veggie entrees, and the complementary chips and salsa are wonderful!“

“amazing atmosphere! love the staff! The staff memorized my go to everytime im there & has it prepped within minutes. They go out their way to form connections with the guests to ensure everything is perfect. Tacoria will always be my go to! :)“

“My wife and I had an amazing dinner last night at Orale, our first visit. When we passed the place a few weeks ago and looked in, the staff beckoned us in with wide arms and smiles, and we decided we had to try it. Too bad we didn't go sooner! The flight of 3 guacamoles and 3 side sauces were distinctive and creative. We ordered the two special entrees: red snapper in a green mole and birria tacos with an authentic, delicious birria broth. This is authentic Mexican cuisine at its best, served by an extraordinarily friendly staff, and we will be back many times to try the rest of the menu!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“The food is incredible. Top tier burritos, tacos and more. And even better than the food is the service, wish is always a pleasure. The owners are incredible dudes and really care about the customer. I’m always happy to give Tacoria my business“

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

“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.“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

“Good birria tacos spot. Tried the taco bowl, chips, corn dish, and birria tacos with consommé. The service was very friendly and food came out relatively fast.

My fav was the birria tacos with consommé. Very flavorful, just wish the portion size was bigger.

Parking is a bit tight so keep that in mind when parking here.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent service clean restaurant fresh ingredients employees are amazing staff and the most important part loveeeee the welcoming we received from all employees this restaurant deserve 100 stars moes Florham park recommended 100%“

“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.“

“Taco De Ojo Taqueria is a great place for authentic food and a quick bite. The only bad thing is that there are little to no seats. It’s a short drive from Woodbridge around 15 to 20 minutes. Also a very short wait for food only around 10 - 15 minutes. I would recommend this restaurant to eat at.“

“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 ! 😋“

“impeccable food and service and super cozy atmosphere“

“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“

“Great drinks great food highly recommend“

“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 ?“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“Good food friendly staff good location fresh food hot food“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“We recently celebrated a birthday here with loud and outlandish middle schoolers , oh boy - the birthday slayed !!!
The food was a smashing hit with quick service, satisfying unique orders for 10-12 kids. They delivered all the orders with zero errors which is commendable, given the commotion.
With a dozen or so rambunctious boys, chaos was just the beginning. I must say the staff graciously took housekeeping upon themselves when it ended.

I highly recommend the BH Bubbakoo’s location for your next party venue - they won’t disappoint !! 🥳“

“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!“

“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!“

“Food is delicious and the people are awesome.“

“Me llegó el deliver. Calentito. Rápido. Exelente servicio“
