Interesting hole-in-the-wall with unique twists on Mexican cuisine. The liberal use of canela (cinnamon) in select dishes, such as the sautéed mushrooms and beef tacos, might overwhelm some palates. While intriguing, the rare canela infusion lingered on our taste buds longer than expected.

Great food - truly authentic Mexican food in the heart of
Visited last night. Our experience was wonderful. Andy was our server and despite being very busy, he was pleasant, attentive, and helpful. I thought the food was very good. As someone who visits Mexico often, I find it difficult to find authentic tasting Mexican food in this area and it was here. I recommend.Vegetarian options: Burrito Jardin excellent.

Nice little BYOB Mexican place with a good liquor store right next door. The chicken dishes are very good but they overcook steak. Do not sleep on the quest and chips appetizer!

Better now than ever!!! Great food and Atmosphere!!! Thanks Andy and Chef Walter!!!
Free chips and salsa to start. The meal portions are really good, I was not able to finish, but everything on my plate tasted great. They have a real good variety of platters so if you are wanting a little bit of everything, you can do it.

Jose’s Merican Cantina in New Providence, NJ is by far the BEST MEXICAN (authentic Mayan) food both my husband and I EVER HAD!! Not to be missed! We are vegan and had their vegetarian burrito platter with the best black beans & rice! (Better than my grandmother’s). ? Thank You for accommodating us for an amazing meal!

I was expecting a bit more from this popular local place. The portions were mediocre sized and it took a while to get the server's attention in order to get the bill. It could have been better for sure.

Good food. Service was fine. Odd that the restaurant was quiet, but there was a steady take out line. Would like to come back and try more. Convenient liquor store one door over. They have tons of tequila options. ;-)Vegetarian options: Veg options.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu.Parking: Plenty of parking in back.
