“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 !!!!“

“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!“

“Delicious with excellent service.“

“I went here tonight for my father’s birthday and the experience overall was wonderful. The staff were so kind and welcoming, our waitress was friendly and engaging, and the food was absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to go back and try more stuff off the menu. Also the tres leches was some of the best I’ve ever had 🤤“

“Great Mexican dishes with nice vegetarian selections“

“Great food. Cant wait to go back and try something new.“

“Food is delicious, drinks are fantastic. Horchata is definitely not real or whatever blend they got isn't good but the strawberry dragonfruit is a must. No tunes is a bummer but the workers are amazing. Gio and Julian really make this place special and went above and beyond to make sure my order was perfect! Definitely will be back!“

“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!“

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

“Overall a good experience. I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and we both really enjoyed the atmosphere. They gave her a cute birthday card. The waitress was very attentive, and came back multiple times to make sure everything was going well. The food was good, but my drinks were not. I ordered 2 rum and cokes. The first one tasted like it barely had any rum in it so I got a double and it tasted the same.“

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

“We love this place, the owner is so nice, it’s so clean inside & the food is fresh & delicious !! 10/10“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Excelent and good customer 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!“

“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“

“¡¡Qué delicia de lugar !! , excelente ambiente y atención.“

“Muy rica la comida y excelente servicio“

“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.“

“I ate here yesterday, and even though it was a 40 minute drive, I'm HEAVILY debating going back today.😍 The employees were all so sweet and helpful. It was my first time in. Food came quick. Chipotle, Moe's and Qdoba wish they had the flavor that this place has!! I got the bowl with Chorizo and a bunch of toppings. The food was so fresh and flavorful. It may be a little difficult to get through with the turn around, but it's beyond worth it to me. To reiterate....all the employees were amazing! So patient, and so kind, and as someone who can be a little anxious when ordering i can't articulate enough how good that makes me feel. Didn't get a picture of ny food because I basically unhinged my jaw like a snake and inhaled it. 😅“

“This meal was absolutely outstanding. The chicken sandwich was perfectly crispy, the bread was fresh, and every bite tasted homemade with real care. The restaurant delivered perfect quality across the board, from the flavorful food to the warm, welcoming atmosphere.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Food is delicious and the people are awesome.“

“A beautiful, elevated setup for a thali spot—definitely a much-needed addition compared to other Gujarati thali places in NJ. The food tasted amazing, and the service was top-notch with prompt refills throughout the meal. I especially appreciated how kid-friendly they are; they didn't force a full thali on our child, which prevented unnecessary food waste. A fantastic experience overall!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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).“

“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.“
