“Nacho Bae has a special place in our hearts. So much so that we come from around an hour away just for the food, atmosphere, and amazing service. Muhammad and Arwa gave us exceptional service and frequently came buy to ensure everything was ok. Their energy and willingness to help was great! The food was fresh and tasted much better than anywhere I have been to. The store atmosphere was great as well. Nice music and nice decor.

We had quesabirria, assorted tacos, tres leches, and the watermelon mint agua fresh. The agua fresca is made fresh and was literally the most refreshing drink I ever had in my life.“

“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 !!!!“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

“Delicious with excellent 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!“

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

“GREAT food GREAT staff. Whether you eat in or get it to go if you like Mexican food it's the place to go.“

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

“Last night I had the pleasure of dining at Maize Cocina & Cocktails in Westfield, NJ — and let me tell you, if you love Mexican food and crave an elevated dining experience, this is the spot! 🌮✨

Everything was incredible, but my favorites were the maize croquettes, crabmeat tostadas, and the whole fish adobo — absolutely delicious. They’ve also added some exciting new dishes like the Tamarind Sticky Duck Breast and Pork Chop Amarillo that you’ll definitely want to try.

If you’re planning a visit, go between Thursday and Sunday — those are their action days! Trust me, if you’re looking for a great vibe and even better food, Maize is the place to be. 🍹🔥“

“Muy rica la comida y excelente servicio“

“Ordered steak tacos, sides of rice n beans, and the Mexican corn. All of it was delicious. The steak was a bit chewy but everything was well seasoned. The tacos came with a few potatoes, jalapeño, sautéed onions, radish and the typical toppings of cilantro and onion.
The tortillas looked and tasted fresh/homemade. The green and red sides of sauce were tasty and had a kick.
The rice and beans were perfect little sides and the beans were really good. I prefer the beans honestly over other restaurants ive had.
The mexican corn was one long stick, typically its cut into pieces but I loved it and it was a great. Would order it all again but skip the rice - the beans tho, get the beans, lol.“

“Recommend: tilapia tacos*, salsa verde, campenchanosGood: tamales, barbacoa tacosOk: chicken flautas, arabes tacos, lengua (tongue) tacos, tripa tacos*Probably would have been a 3 star rating if we didn't like the tilapia tacos so much. They were definitely the favorite. The fish was tender and nicely seasoned.The seasoning and cook on other things were a little hit or miss. Barbacoa had great taste but too salty, arabes were dry, lengua was disappointingly dry and bland. The salsa verde was used liberally to save many of the tacos.The flautas were nice and crispy but the chicken inside was dry.The tripe had some crunchy bits that some people might like but I found them tough.The campenchanos in the flour tortilla were also a bit salty but I liked how soft the tortilla was.The tamales had nice texture, but the cheese stick inside was strange for me.“

“The tacos were amazing. Portions were generous and everything tasted authentic.“

“We're never unhappy with our meals from Qdoba! Always fresh and filling!“

“Fantastic food. Unbelievable lunch specials (until 2:30). Regular menu offers anything you might want, but it is a bit pricey and worth it. BYO. Last time we did that we shared our home made sangria with the staff. We made friends for life. This is going back to 1997 for that incident. Go! And enjoy“

“had dinner with friends tonight. the service and atmosphere were outstanding and the food was excellent. Oh and the tamales are the best. I'll be going back well done Carlos and staff.“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious. We ordered chicken tacos, el pastor tacos and birria tacos and all were amazing. The consome for the birria was full of flavor. I also enjoyed a delicious horchata which was not overly sweet, it was just right. I cant wait to come back and explore the menu some more.“

“My order was ready when I got to the restaurant. My meal was prepared exactly as ordered. The food was not hot(just warm). I had to put it in my microwave before eating it. The portion for my grilled chicken bowl was not as large as usual. Everything however, tasted good I will still be ordering from this restaurant again however I will place my order in the store instead of online.“

“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“

“Great experience. Tried to place my order, but was basically told what to get. I wanted an empinada one way, the lady told me the right way. Empinada was great. Burrito was HUGE and tasty, two meals. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“Had a great time here . Food was very good. Enjoyed the atmosphere and comfort.,waiters were pleasant and friendly and quick.“

“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!“

“The most amazing pizza and Italian dishes you will ever eat! Super fresh and always delicious! The owners are the sweetest and truly make you feel special every time you visit. We’ve been customers since they were located in the Meyers parking lot, however, we’ve moved in the last few years and are unable to get our fix of Bella La Pizzeria greatness since. We travel over 3 hours for the best pizza and meals because the food is that delicious! I’m sitting here in heaven this evening enjoying a slice of their perfect pizza. Yummmm!!!…….“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

“This spot is great! We love going here or getting take out. The patio is wonderful when the weather is nice. Service is always timely and the food is great, super reliable. We dined in the other night and our daughter (10 months) was starting to get restless and a staff member came out with a balloon for her. She was calm and happy and we were able to enjoy the rest of our meal. It was really thoughtful. I can’t recommend enough!“

“I read through some of the comments and they were about MY grandma, the owner of the restaurant. Someone said that she was a he. And another said she was from somewhere she was not from! She is from MEXICO. People just make me mad sometimes when do stuff like that. If you do not know the gender of someone you don't even know just say 'they' that easy. But after all great food.“

“The highlights are definitely the chipotle chicken. Tried the carne asada and it was alright. The green sauce and lime definitely brought its score up. I wanted to try the short rib but apparently it’s pork. But I hear it’s good. It’s a really cute spot, though a bit pricey.“

“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.“

“Super buenísimo lo recomiendo“

“Food was very tastefully Nice portion“

“My husband and I dined there for the first time last night with my parents for my birthday. The decor is stunning. The host staff was so friendly, wished me a happy birthday upon checking in. Alyssa made it a point to introduce herself and even gave me a handwritten Happy Birthday card. Our waitress Amber was awesome, very attentive, friendly and kind enough to bring me over a cool birthday candle so I could make a birthday wish. The food & drinks were delicious, my skirt steak melted in my mouth & was perfectly seasoned, my husband thoroughly enjoyed his NY strip and my parents enjoyed the porterhouse for two. We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Excelente lugar familiar. Disfrútalo“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“
