“This place truly feels like a hidden gem. While the interior may not be the best, the food and hospitality here are exceptional. The staff’s kindness brings a warm, uplifting atmosphere from the moment you step in until you leave. The food is delightful, but it’s the welcoming service that makes the experience memorable.

“I have dined there a few times. Twice with my daughter. Their food is delicious. Great tasting burgers and Beef Nachos. The Staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is relaxing. I learned how to say mushrooms in Spanish. Thank you.“

“It’s funny that some of the reviews here complain about servers not speaking English...it’s an actual authentic Mexican restaurant what do you expect? The menus are in both English and Spanish and have descriptions if you are not familiar with Mexican food. I love this place and you really can’t beat the prices. The food is great and I always wind up taking some home (maybe because I fill up on all the chips and salsa they give before the meal).“

“Just finishing up our meal at this location and we have to say that the service and food were amazing. The server Joe and bartender Chris made it all worth it. They were attentive and accommodating. We sat at two separate tables with our teenage kids and everything was top notch. We own a business nearby and can’t wait to visit again!“

“Always our favorite Mexican food spot in HarrisonCounty!“

“Creepy Uncle Dave here. Today I went to the Tex Mex Deli in Edison. The food was amazing! I tried a burrito that was out of this world. Apparently this was a new entry to their already sprawling menu. My boss once told me that if I never step out of my comfort zone and try something new I will never taste success. At the time I was pretty sure the only success I was going to taste was the sweat from my forehead seeing as he wanted me to dig a 200 foot trench by hand. Anyway, this was a shredded chicken burrito stuffed to the hilt with chicken, rice and beans, then smothered with MOLE, MOLE, MOLE sauce. Sorry, if you know you know. My coworker had the birria tacos that looked equally amazing. They must have been good seeing as he didn’t even offer a taste. This isn’t a white tablecloth establishment but the food definitely has potential. I’m sold! I’m definitely coming back and I think you should check this place out too. Tell them I sent ya!

“I grew up in Texas and enjoyed this authentic beef taco bowl for a casual and affordable dinner in Newark. The owner and staff clearly put their hearts into each ingredient in the bowl which comes together as a Tex-Mex festival of flavors.

Kid-friendliness: Saw a mother and daughter there. Lots of teenagers were eating there as well.“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

“We were on vacation from Kansas. Place is very inviting, happy and colorful. Their food is fresh, delicious, and it comes in big portions. Highly recommended.“

“my first time visit to this restaurant . and the food was absolutely delicious . they even were accomndating when I asked what can I get with no onions . that's very nice of them to be understanding and helpful. food delicious . thanks so much . Will recommend and return .“

“We had a great meal at LaColina Mexican Cantina. We got seated pretty quick but we did get there by 6… got a little more crowded at 7 on a Saturday night. Food options were great as well as the drinks. Atmosphere was great also and there was a good amount of people there on a Saturday night. Just one down side… I don’t like that they automatically add on 20% tip on the bill. Tip should be based on great service and at the customers discretion.“

“Food was delicious but if you have a dairy allergy beware of the butter used in the rice and vegetables!!!!“

“Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent food for our recent party. The guests were all commenting how delicious and well prepared the food was. It was also more food than we expected, and was very well packed for transport. We’ve enjoyed the experience of dining at Sofia’s, and now also the catered g experience.“

“I recently ordered from Guerreros Taqueria and it was a delightful experience. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, showcasing authentic flavors that reminded me of home-cooked meals. The service, as always, was exceptional, with prompt delivery and courteous staff. As a bonus, we received free chips and salsa with our last catering order, which was a delightful surprise. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving delicious Mexican cuisine and excellent service.“

“Friendly service, delicious fajitas, homemade guacamole, shrimp tacos, and chicken soup were some of my favorites!!“

“This place is a slightly hidden gem, and the past 5 times I’ve gone, has never failed. The staff is all family and treat you equally the same. My lady and I got: chicken tacos(first photo) guacamole, hibiscus drinks(jamaica for mi gente) rib tacos with cheese( the ones with the phone shaped beef rib) hunger was calling and I had to pick up. Highly recommend this place, they even have a bidet for you stinkies!

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp you can use, just need to lift up the small lip on the door. They’ll accommodate space for you even though theres not much!“

“Food wasn’t the best I ever had but good and willing to try again. Wasn’t a fan of the pastor and birra tacos which was surprisingly because they were rated the highest. You do get 4 each in an order and was priced well. Elotes were a miss for me also. Guac was good on the chicken tacos.“

“Good place to go great food“

“Better than chipolte. Great food“

“Muy buena comida y buenos precios.“

“Great food and service. Varied menu. Large amount of seating inside and a good amount outside. The food is reasonably priced for downtown south orange. Family friendly.

Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and food kids typically will eat“

“Dinner was delicious! The food came quickly and the kids were thrilled with their quesadillas. Guacamole was good. Chicken enchiladas verdes was great. Service was pleasant and attentive. If we lived in New Jersey we’d go back for sure!“

“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.“

“Five Stars This place is excellent! Freshly cooked food and great service!“

“Excelente lugar familiar. Disfrútalo“

“The place is well decorated and well lit for both the bar and restaurant environment. The food tastes good and the portions are quite big, so it's a bang for the buck, really affordable. The service was nice, all the waitresses were friendly. Some of the dishes are spicy, so if you don't like spicy food you can ask them to give you that food without spicy ingredients.“

“I've driven past this spot so many times & I regret not trying them out sooner. The breaded chicken torta was every bit of comforting & even more flavorful. I thought I was getting a quick bite at the end of a long day, and it was so much more. Worth every cent.“

“Excellent restaurant.Delicious tacos with just the right amount of spice.Get yourself an elote too.Very relaxing vibe.Incredible customer service - the waitress so gentle and patient with my wife and I.It’s not far from the Goethals Bridge, so I’ll be back.“

“My sister told me about her local go-to for tacos. I tried the 3 tacos de birria. It was absolutely delicious. Sizeable portion (I was full with 2) and it came with a consome that you could dip the tacos.

Also, the owner is so kind. She wrote a get well note for my mom on her order. I had mentioned that had been sick.

Before leaving the area, I am heading back for another order. Definitely recommend.“

“I recently order takeout and was blown away by the amazing food, generous portions, and top-notch customer service. Every dish was bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection, leaving me fully satisfied. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. I highly recommend – it’s definitely worth a visit!“

“First time trying this place and they did not disappoint! Ordered The beef Birria tacos, they were so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The consomé tastes very authentic! My only complaint was the size of the tacos they were a little smaller than I thought they would be, although they can fill you up. I ended my visit with the street corn which was also a hit. Try them out!!“
