“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!“

“Best and affordable vegan restaurant downtown.“

“One of my favorite places to get food. Foods always sooooo good and the people are so nice, even when I'm being a little annoying with my 13 people orders (I always get help when I have like 4 bags of foods). As a Muslim it is really hard to find good halal places that won't cost an arm and a leg, and this is is really affordable for the amount of food you are getting. I hope this place never closes. 10/10 would recommend“

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 local Mexican food with authentic flavor and big portion sizes. We definitely ordered more than we expected.
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 !!!!“

“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.“

“Food was very good and well presented. The staff was very attentive, but it was a tad noisy and that’s why I didn’t rate the atmosphere 5 stars. We had the tacos chicken and beef fajitas. Both were very good and the sides were fresh. The guacamole was especially delicious.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

“I have been coming here since they opened. The team is so friendly and welcoming! Food is fresh and delicious! Love getting the bowls and quesadillas. Which they customize to my liking:)The way they prepare to the service altogether is what keeps me coming back! My favorite location by far!

Vegetarian options: Would like more vegetable options. Grilled zucchini, carrots…etc.“

“Great drinks great food highly recommend“

“We don’t order or dine out much, but we highly recommend this place. It’s a hidden gem that makes Mexican food with a very traditional approach. They also use fresh products. I can’t get enough of their Raja Tamales. The owner and staff are very friendly. Give it a try.“

“Flavorful birria tacos and consome. Loaded burrito was tasty as well. We also got the horchata and Mexican street corn that was generously covered in cheese. Overall, they use appropriate amount of seasonings that enhanced the flavors in each item including the horchata. The consome was not thick or oily.“

“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!!“

“This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area! The food is delicious and very authentic. The ambiance and decorations make you feel like you are visiting Mexico. The staff are super friendly too. Overall a great experience.

Parking: When I come at off hours (11:00-3:00 PM) it's easy to find parking on the street. Probably not that easy during the evening rush.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a door right off the street. There should be no problems.“

“It was my first time ordering food from here. I ordered take out, the service was decent. It Felt like i was being dismissed pretty quick. The food was good, it had great taste. And the atmosphere of the place was nice too.
However, I do think the prices are a bit high. I wasn’t expecting to pay $37 for my order.“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“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“

“Pretty good- A lot like chipotle!“

“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.“

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

“BUENA comida, buena atención y muy bueno el show con karaoke, especialmente la cantante Claudia“

“We ordered here from Door Dash and this was BY FAR the best Mexican we have had since we've lived within 10 miles from here. 👏🏼 Everything we had; mixed fajitas (steak and chicken), flautas, tamales, enchiladas, Oreo moose cake, and the Tres Leches cake... was outstanding, even through delivery! 100% recommend! Not to mention, they actually got out entire order correct, which is rare these days! Thank you!“

“impeccable food and service and super cozy atmosphere“

“Try the beef soup or pozole. Great food and service.“

“Super buenísimo lo recomiendo“

What I can say is the food it’s authentic Mexican , so tasty and delicious , I’m not a big fan of spicy foods but this place use enough condiments on their meats , they use jalapeños but if you don’t want them, request not to put them on your food…overall food it’s delicious highly recommend“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“
