50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Green Brook

“I tell ya, it is very rare that they mess up food orders. And I mean very rare. The only issue that I have run into is stale/tiny broken chips and not enough cheese dipping sauce.

The staff are always professional and polite. I only do drive thru so I order online and always give a different movie/TV character name. They never catch on but there is nothing funnier than driving up to the speaker and saying you placed an order for Dwight Schrute or Tony Stark!“

“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.“

“Tried Nacho Bae for the first time and honestly it was great. The food came out quick, portions were solid, and everything tasted fresh. I got the loaded nachos and they were packed with toppings, not just a bunch of chips at the bottom. The staff was really friendly too and made the whole experience easy.

Definitely one of the better spots around New Brunswick when you’re craving something casual and filling. I’ll be coming back to try more of the menu.“

“Best and affordable vegan restaurant downtown.“

“Food is awesome. Service is top notch.“

“Good food. Chuck is great“

“I love this place. I’ve been coming here for a few years now. Every time I come here I have to get 5 chorizo tacos. They’re just the best. This place has made every other taco spot in the area useless, as nothing compares to the flavor and portions here.

The staff is always incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is very clean and welcoming.“

“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 !!!!“

“I eat food here burrito taste good“

“Wonderful people, great food. Always an enjoyable experience!“

“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“

“Muy buen servicio, la comida con el mejor sabor en New Jersey.“

“los taquitos de birria más ricos que he probado!!!“

“Fun atmosphere and had the best "new" waitress, Lila!!“

“We are so grateful to El Jefe’s for generously donating a catered lunch to our school staff during Staff Appreciation Week! Their kindness and willingness to give back to the community truly means so much. The taco bar was an absolute hit — fresh, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone! From start to finish, everything was seamless. Delivery was right on time, the setup was clean and organized, and the take down was effortless. Thank you, El Jefe’s, for helping make our staff feel so appreciated. Your support of our school community does not go unnoticed, and we highly recommend them for both their amazing food and outstanding service!“

“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.“

“We eat here once a week, faithfully. Actually because we have such a big order, we order it for delivery to Piscataway. I ate there twice in the restaurant and was HOOKED! The flavors are so DELICIOUS! We’ve have our favorite menu items and a nice variety. Hands down best place to eat!“

“nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good food at a reasonable price“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

“Every single dish was amazing and packed with flavor! There are so many fun appetizers to choose from and a variety of tasty entrees as well. So many dishes have a creative twist and that's what makes this place so unique and exciting to try. I'm still thinking about those crispy chicken bao buns. We'll definitely be back“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Bubbakoo's reminds me of Moe's in the best ways with lots of options with delicious queso. Food was pretty good, customer service was stellar. Rep gave me white rice instead of brown. Offered to remake it, I declined. He took a percentage off my total order. You don't get service like that too often anymore. Not to mention I was greeted upon entering establishment.“

“Tried El Buen Sabor Poblano in North Brunswick and had a great experience. We ordered the grilled pork plate with rice, beans, salad, and avocado, plus enchiladas with green salsa. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and the portions were very generous. The pork was flavorful with a nice char, and the green sauce on the enchiladas had the perfect tangy kick. Chips and salsa were also a great start to the meal. Definitely a great spot for authentic Mexican food in the area!“

“Excelente atención al cliente y su comida muy rica.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“I LOVE IT I BEEN THERE TWICE AND WE DON'T SPEAK SPANISH BUT WE WERE HELP AND THE WAITRESS REMEMBER US FROM THE LAST TIME. THE SHRIMP IS TO DIE FOR. WILL BE BACK“

“Hello, I wanted to share my experience at the restaurant. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was excellent with traditional music and a very clean environment. The food was prepared fresh on the spot, and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys savoring a truly excellent, authentic Mexican dish.“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

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

“Really good birria taco spot! The food was fresh, hot, and flavorful. We Loved the corn. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming, and the lady who took our order was very friendly. She even brought the food out to us which I appreciated. Overall a great experience and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“La comida deliciosa 👌 era cliente frecuente de este lugar pero el pésimo servicio de atención al cliente por parte una mesera eh decidido no volver. ( Me atendió de muy mala gana y yo amablemente le pedí algo a lo que ella respondió indirectamente de manera grosera).“

“atmosphere was great, food was good. I miss this service since Moe's left. I wish their cheese sauce was better. homemade better, it was jarred. straight out of a can. I won't order that again but everything else was great.“

“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.“

“Decided to try the New Mexican spot in town and it did not disappoint. Food was great and the portion sizes are huge, wasn’t able to finish my burrito. The decore and service is very traditional and felt like home. Definitely recommend you try!“

“We catered from this location through EZ Cater for 60 people and had an outstanding experience. The delivery was perfectly on time, portions were more than generous, and everything came with utensils and heat warmers. The chicken hot bar was delicious, and our guests loved it. The team set everything up upon delivery which was super helpful for us. We’re so glad we chose Qdoba — truly effortless!“

“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!“

“Their flavor is very good, they have a great Mexican flavor and their food options are varied. An excellent place to eat Mexican food.

Wheelchair accessibility: As it does not have steps, it is an excellent option for people who use wheelchairs since access is very easy and the staff is very friendly.“

“Food is fresh and delicious with so many options to choose from. Chips and salsa are free with each meal ( you don’t have to pay for them), the staff is wonderful and the place is clean! Queso is a must!!“

“Late night, this place served me despite that another down the street would not because I could not speak Spanish. I was just hungry. I came here, ordered tamales 🫔 & all I can say is " Estos tamales son muy deliciosos!!" Great hospitality, I felt very welcome & loved ❤️“

“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.“

“This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area! The food is delicious and very authentic. The ambiance and decorations make you feel like you are visiting Mexico. The staff are super friendly too. Overall a great experience.

Parking: When I come at off hours (11:00-3:00 PM) it's easy to find parking on the street. Probably not that easy during the evening rush.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a door right off the street. There should be no problems.“

“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.“

“Seemed like they only spoke Spanish, but Idk. Prices were fair, portion size was just right, food was fantastic. Served chips with salsa verde. The salsa was spicy in the best way. I got pollo el chipotle. It was perfect. Also got pupusas. Definitely authentic food made very well. So far my favorite Mexican place in New Jersey.“
