“Food is delicious, my favorite are the Tacos Al Pastor they really taste like authentic Mexican tacos! All staff is super friendly!“

“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).“

“Always our favorite Mexican food spot in HarrisonCounty!“

“The breakfast burritos here are next level. This place deserves more than 5 stars. Staff is also super friendly. Been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. Food always tastes fresh and you can tell they do not cut corners in the kitchen.“

“🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩 Recommend you all to stop by and eat their Jus’antastic tacos“

“Todo muy delicioso lo recomiendo llegar a comer todos los platillos“

“The people at Cocina de Maria were very nice to me. I had wanted the chorizo and cheese dip but they didn't have an ingredient so they offered a beans substitute instead. I still enjoyed it but couldn't finish my food because it was so much and I had a long drive.

The tacos were great and the food felt very authentic Mexican. I don't lice close to the area but I was very happy with their hospitality and food.“

“Recommended to take away because it has a smell, I don't know if it's the bathroom, but it smells like black water, apart from that, very delicious and varied food, different from the others in the area. ????? aaaa good cucumber water...“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 .“

“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!“

“El desayuno salvadoreño estuvo delicioso y fresco. La atención fue muy buena. Recomiendo este lugar!!! The food is so delicious and the service was amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“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.“

“Our go to Warren restaurant. Great Mojitos. Our server last nite was Carmen who was just promoted to server and she did an extraordinary job!“

“Fandango’s street tacos are awesome. We took a tray of these to a New Year’s Eve party in Glen Ridge and they were a big hit!“

“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“

“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.“

“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 !!!!“

“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.“

“Our community has been asking for a bakery for years …I stopped in to try their cookies they were delicious … I will definitely go back to try more…Good Luck & GOD bless in your new location & Thank you for investing in our town ‼️“

“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!“

“I love their food, everything is always fresh never old and taste so delicious!! I highly recommend this place ! I give them 20 ☆'s !!!“

“First time here and I have to say the food is very good. In my opinion, better than Chipotle. Very tasty as well as Large portions.“

“Place is so dope and the foooooodddd tooo gooood. Semi pricey but good very good. Wasn’t crazy about their tres leche but overall good experience. They should play more Spanish music since it’s a Mexican spot. I meannnn place is called orale.“

“This place really hit the spot. After building up an appetite at the nearby Great Swamp and Raptor Trust, I headed here for lunch on Labor Day with two of my chums. I was a little nervous because we showed up right around 2PM and Casa Maya's website indicated they closed for a bit at 2:30PM, but they let us in and got us a legit meal in time.

The parking situation is a bit awkward and took some navigating. The best comp I can give is the Flatiron Building in New York; the building is basically at the end of a narrow triangle (aka Meyersville and Hickory Tavern), so you have enough space for one or two cars to comfortably pull in on the side, but otherwise it's too close to the road and you end up jutting out into traffic. My chum had to park behind the restaurant and a few other buildings, but it could have been worse. Thankfully I spotted a sign nearby with additional parking instructions or we might have had to have gotten a little more creative in that regard.

The one major negative here is that it feels VERY cluttered and claustrophobic in the restaurant. I didn't see enough of the interior to confirm if they just built in too many tables/booths, but each dining area has a very high partition that makes it feel even smaller. It may just depend on your perspective - some might consider it cozy - but if I have to position my body at certain angles to comfortably navigate the restaurant and my booth, that's a problem for me.

I've stayed away from burritos for a while after experiencing some substandard ones in the Financial District, but I decided to make a comeback with the Tijuana Burrito, which featured marinated pork. I thought it was super tasty. I don't think this type of Mexican restaurant/food would ever be considered truly authentic ethnic cuisine - sort of the Sweet & Sour Chinese takeout equivalent, I suppose - but I'm a huge fan. For someone like me with a texture-based palate who doesn't typically like crunchy stuff in the middle of something soft, this was perfect - everything was saucy and ground down, if that makes sense. The pork was juicy and flavorful, and the sauces were great. It was a very decent portion that I probably only finished because of how many steps I'd accrued in the Swamp.

The service was very good, especially when you consider that they needed to get us our food well before the 2:30PM closure. The food was made to order and yet came out within minutes, allowing us to comfortably consume our entrees. They DID push us out a little after 2:30PM, but I really didn't have an issue with that - we were done with the food and they could have just not allowed new customers in by the time we came in (and we knew about the closure ahead of time). An understandable kick in the rump.

I'm rarely in this area but I'd absolutely come back, especially now that I understand the weird triangle parking lot situation.“

“La comida está muy bien. Tiene bien servicio. Lo recomiendo“

“The tacos are just okay. They only use one tortilla so when you bite into it it falls apart quickly. The only confusing part was when I asked the cashier what the difference between the steak and the carne asada was, he said they were the same thing but there is a price difference between the two so there is obviously a difference… I don’t mind paying extra but I just want to know what I’m paying for even if it’s different spices/marinade or cooking method? The churros were delicious and crispy. It came with Dulce de leche or chocolate sauce!“

“O la comida excelente. Y el servicio espectacular.....“

“There are some restaurants/cafes/joints, and the moment you enter, you get the vibe, and you know you are at the right place. This is one of those places and another cool place to hang out with friends in Morristown downtown.

We had
* Hand Crafted Tacos ( 3 Pc)- Chicken
* Burrito Box- comes with chicken over rice, black beans, cheese, salsa,

On the side, we had-
* Mexican Street Corn (Go for it) and
* Chips & Guacamole – chips were so fresh & crunchy

Drink-
they had inhouse Guava-Basil & Horchata flavor drinks (I missed their bottle though)

We had our food there only and why not, why miss the cool ambiance & music… we enjoyed our food out there…

Ambiance- top-notch, rugged/casual vibe, Graffiti in different languages, murals/wall art, hip hop music- So cool

The celling sign- AMORESVIDA (Love for life)- that was too cool…

price was also reasonable.“

“Great food, great workers, amazing portion sizes.“

“Wow!!! What can’t I not say about this place , the decor was incredible you can see that the place has history. I felt like going back home and changing my out for this place is amazing ! The service was Superb, we didn’t have to ask our waiter or waitress for anything we were constantly attended to . The food was great and the portions are are great. I went with my fiancé and daughter so I always order family style , so we had a little of everything . I know it’s cold out but I love a good frozen margarita and it was perfect . Also at the end Jolie , the owner/daughter of the owner also , offered us some free shots of RED CADILLAC TEQUILA , that’s made from them by them . It was very soothing . We’re actually gonna go back in a date night for the live music . Can’t wait !“

“Excellent food and service“

“muy buena comida buen lugar para comer buen ambiente buena atención“

“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!“
