“I just left El Paso Tex-Mex grill and had by far the most delicious and fresh chicken burrito I’ve ever tasted! It even came with a side of chips and salsa. The staff were courteous and the restaurant and bathroom were super clean! There’s even a free secure parking lot right out front. This restaurant is great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and can accommodate a comfortable group as well. I plan to spread the word… Thanks Paco!!“

“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 !!!!“

“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 !“

“I haven’t been here in years because the first and last time I went, the food was disgusting. I mean, we had like 4 dinners and they were all bland and just not seasoned right. (This was around 2021)

We recently tried again because everytime we drive past, my daughter loves the lights outside and the games. What a difference!
We had nachos with chicken, shrimp fajitas and a kids burger. Everything was so good!
Probably the best nachos I’ve ordered in a restaurant- and nachos are my thing!! lol
Britzy (sorry if spelled wrong) was our server and she was so nice ! Everything came out perfect and she checked on us a bunch of times. Everything came at a decent time and it was just a pleasant dining experience.
We will definitely be back!

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and also the outdoor seating has some giant games along the side“

“The fajitas (chicken/steak/shrimp) are AMAZING - hot and tasty - I get them every time. Its cooked perfectly and I can't stop eating them. The margaritas are delicious and a good size. The queso is perfect and so is the guac! We've never had a bad meal. I tell everyone this is the place for the best tex-mex in the area!

My only complaint, idk if its the owner or manager, but he's always singing karaoke the whole time, at FULL VOLUME. It's so loud you really can't really have table conversation without yelling at each other and its the entire time you're there, he doesn't take a break. There really isn't a place to sit inside where you can muffle it. Don't get me wrong, the gentleman's singing is really good, he sounds professional, but it feels almost like you're a captive audience. Maybe if he took 15-20 minute breaks after every couple songs, or sang/played the music at a lower volume so you can still enjoy talking with the people at your table, maybe even turn the speakers in angles so it doesn't bombard dinners.... We'll keep going, but I'll admit, its why we're not there more often or why we sometimes eat quickly and leave.“
