50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Warren

“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 !!!!“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat between classes. I especially love getting the bae bowl and it's always so fresh, and the salsa and sauce is so good! It always lasts me two full meals because the portion size is really generous. Everyone there is also so nice and welcoming so I love coming here and will definitely be back.“

Edison Tex-Mex has proudly sponsored our annual Toy Run for two consecutive years, and thanks to their generous support, we were able to help raise over $20,000 for the Somerset County Food Bank.“

“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.“

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!!!“

“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.“

“I recommend QDOBA on rt 1 Edison 100%. they are friendly, accommodating and way cleaner than Chipotle. I made a mistake ordering and they immediately made a new one with no questions asked. They are continuously making fresh food for their costumers. I am always satisfied with my experience there.👍“

“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!“

“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“

“Fantastic food. Unbelievable lunch specials (until 2:30). Regular menu offers anything you might want, but it is a bit pricey and worth it. BYO. Last time we did that we shared our home made sangria with the staff. We made friends for life. This is going back to 1997 for that incident. Go! And enjoy“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

“Good birria tacos spot. Tried the taco bowl, chips, corn dish, and birria tacos with consommé. The service was very friendly and food came out relatively fast.

My fav was the birria tacos with consommé. Very flavorful, just wish the portion size was bigger.

Parking is a bit tight so keep that in mind when parking here.“

“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).“

“This one girl who I met was chill glad they have "great" waiter 10/10??The Alfredo was great. The people are pretty chill and and food has nice flavor and pretty good variety. I wanna say the wait time was great and price wasn't too much for a meal.“

“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!“

“All I can say is that I will be extremely disappointed if they ever get rid of the honey siracha chicken!!! That was the best burrito I EVER had!! I told my husband that we are going there more now!! My mouth was in heaven!! Such a great flavor!! Try it! You will not be disappointed!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We catered from this location through EZ Cater for 60 people and had an outstanding experience. The delivery was perfectly on time, portions were more than generous, and everything came with utensils and heat warmers. The chicken hot bar was delicious, and our guests loved it. The team set everything up upon delivery which was super helpful for us. We’re so glad we chose Qdoba — truly effortless!“

“Tacos tripa and carnitas were really delicious; tender tripa and tasty carnitas with just the right crunch. Pollo de Mole Oaxaqueno was fantastic. The chicken was super moist and tender and some of the best mole sauce I have ever had. Highly recommended- I will definitely be back!“

“Went for Cinco de Mayo with my boyfriend and our 1 year old and she loved the horchata and guacamole, we loved our food to ! 😋“

“El peor restaurante en el área el encargado con la peor actitud un patán prepotente abusivo no recomiendo este lugar basura a nadie. we went to this place for dinner with the family. the manager with the worst attitude ever didn't give us the table because we were waiting for 1 more person we told him he was 3 minutes away and with he's terrible attitude said no and after that he got mad because we grab on of the menus and told us to move out the way from the bar. He was so disrespectful. I would never recommend this place to nobody.“

“8/10 I don't have any pics of the food I was hungry I Normally go to another place but decided to try this one. The steak wasn't really seasoned, the shrimp and the birra 10/10 well seasoned. Tastes amazing. I'll Def be returning“

“Great drinks great food highly recommend“

“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!!“

“We went in our Sun afternoon and here was no wait. The food was ready quickly and everything tasted delicious. The green salsa is delicious and would buy it by the bucket if I could😁. My table tried the birria, tamale, empanada, burrito, and more. Everything was great and I will return.“

“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 very small place to eat and I usually order to pick up. 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“

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

“The food in this place is really good, the tacos, burritos and homemade Mexican soups are outstanding. The place is a little dated and they have a very small parking lot. I must admit I do have one pet peeve with the beef soup. They put green beans in the soup. Not a fan of that. Other than that the service and people working there are very nice“

“las meseras super atentas la comida muy buena y todo se mantiene limpio ❤“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“I was there today for the first time and I loved the food, the place was very nice, it looked clean, a little noisy with the music very loud, but the very friendly girl turned it down but the food was very exquisite. I think I will return. I recommend tacos de birria su consume it was delicious ?“
