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.“

“We had a wonderful experience at this Halal Mexican restaurant! The owner is genuinely kind and welcoming, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and very helpful. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It’s always nice to support a place where the people are just as great as the food. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!“

“Best and affordable vegan restaurant downtown.“

“Food is awesome. Service is top notch.“

“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 !!!!“

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

“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!“

I always stop by when im in NJ!“

“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!“

“Good food. Chuck is great“

“Best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to in a very long time. Flautas were brought out fresh and fast and were the tastiest and cripsiest I have ever had. Amazing environment and service they even blended up fresh salsa for me when I asked for more spice. Lovely spot for lunch break“

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

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

“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“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

“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!“

“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“

“Birria Tacos were amazing and so well seasoned.“

“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“

“Went there for the first time and left being a big fan. Food was super fresh and full of authentic flavor. You can always judge a place by their gauc and Tacoria’s is fire. I highly recommend adding the chiptole sauce to your burrito. Staff was super nice and it was easy to order. Will be back again (:“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I had a wonderful experience at Qdoba in Bridgewater thanks to Karla! She was incredibly friendly, professional, and provided excellent customer service from start to finish. Karla greeted everyone with a smile, was patient, and made sure my order was prepared perfectly. Her positive attitude and dedication truly made my visit enjoyable. Employees like Karla are the reason customers keep coming back. Thank you, Karla, for your outstanding service!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This is a clean, fairly quick stop for food. Both the jerk chicken and chicken tacos were tasty, I enjoyed the fried crunchy hard shell. The kids meal is a great portion. I look forward to trying the crunch wrap. The temperature of the food could be hotter and a side of rice or chips would be nice with the regular taco meal. They have 2 person tables for seating. Late night hours are helpful.“

“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“

“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).“

“Absolutely delicious! Never a disappointment. Everything is flavored to perfection from the birria itself to the drinks. The owner is very friendly and has created such a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's such a chill spot. It's my new favorite casual date place.“

“I eat food here burrito taste good“

“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.“

“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!!“

“The food is delicious, and the portions are huge! The service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be returning.“

“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.“

“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!“
