“Came here for a late lunch on a Sunday. The experience was so much better than I had expected. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. First, the drinks. I had two rocks margaritas. They were very, very good. And a good size too. Very tasty. I've had some great margaritas, and some terrible ones. These were very much on the good/great side. So that was refreshing. We ordered the shrimp and scampi/garlic appetizer. OMG, we wanted to drink that sauce it was so good. Fresh cut garlic, just so good. Wife ordered the steak fajitas and I ordered the combo (chicken/steak/shrimp) fajitas. I think fajitas are a great choice to order here. They are presented very nicely, you get a lot, and they were absolutely delicious. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, just wonderful. The rice and beans were also service in a little tortilla bowl, which I proceeded to eat also. Overall it was just awesome. I can't wait to come back!“

“Passing through Cranford and felt the itch for good Tex-Mex. Follow the reviews on Yelp and parked across the street in convenient parking. The weather was nice today but, we decided to eat indoor. The place was exceptionally clean with a pleasant atmosphere. We ordered and were quickly served with some of the best dishes we've had in a while. The food was prepared and presented in an exceptional way. Judge for yourself on these pictures. Stop by and enjoy. I loved the Salsa Verde on my strip tacos!“

“Such a cute spot! I love the decor and the service is great.The tacos are freshly made and taste like they’re made with quality ingredients.The green and red salsas are soooo good!I also really loved the mint lemonade.My only gripe, is I wish they served the tacos with lime instead of lemon and I wish the birria meat and consommé had more robust flavor, but they were still good!“

“The reviews I read to this restaurant really fooled me. The food served here did not taste fresh. Don't get me started on their drinks, more like ice. If you love spending money on bad food and iced drinks then this is the place for you. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone“

“Be careful what you wish for. One torta here completely eliminated any chance I'd be doing any more climbing yesterday at the gym we were at next door. Delicious lunch though next time I'll opt for something lighter if I hope to continue climbing.“

“The family at Los Hermanos is a quality group. The meet you with a smile and their space is delightful. Nice for a quick bite whether that’s for a breakfast quesadilla or a lunch entree. A great addition to the 4th ward of Montclair. Also, side note - they wear gloves while preparing your food and it’s a very clean establishment.“

“These are by far the best and most authentic Mexican tacos I’ve had in the state of New Jersey. For someone who has regularly gone to some of the “best rated” Taco places in the state, This locations Al pastor tacos with cheese are some of the best tacos I’ve ever eaten. A true hidden gem in Roselle Park.“

“I would pass this place on my way to work and I was very interested to see what they have to offer. First thing was the atmosphere, it's cozy intimate and feels like home. Walking in there the music wasn't loud, everyone in there looked like they were having a blast. The servers were attentive and so sweet. I've never been in a place in NJ where the servers are kind, very welcoming and you can tell every staffer gets along. Growing up in the US and having the authenticity of Mexican food, they did phenomenal. I'm mexican and the food were top notched. I just loved everything this place has to offer. I cannot wait to come back with more people to see how amazing this place is. I love it 10 out of 10.“

“First, welcome to this New Mexican Restaurant located at 704 Jersey Ave Elizabeth 07202, second, I want to say that I have been to more than 15 Mexican restaurants and with all the respect they deserve. I love this one specifically. For the quality of the food, the texture, the great service, the good attention. The food is fresh and the amount they put is an excessively large amount. Congratulations, great job. I will always be back. I like that there are all kinds of traditional Mexican drinks.“

“I read the reviews online and went there based on their ratings. I was expecting a nice little sit down restaurant but this is actually more of a takeout place. They do have a few tables so we did eat in there. The food was fresh. I wasn't thrilled with the flavors. I got fish tacos and really the only thing I could taste was the cabbage. The guacamole and chips were very good and fresh. I probably won't go back. The people there are extraordinarily nice“

Working with Greg on the menu was painless. Would 100% use again and recommend to anybody who loves Mexican food--some of the best I've ever had. That salsa... amazing.“

“I was looking for a restaurant that serves Mexican food ? due to the face the only other one I been too is like 40 minutes away so we decided to find one closer to home before going to work n honestly I was amazed how nice we were treated and the food was delicious I mean I still full and the serves and cook ask if we would like veggies in are food due to the fact we don't eat meat and the price was cheap so thank you for serving us a delicious meal I will be coming back againVegetarian options: They can make anything Vegan-friendly if you don't eat meat.“
“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.“

“Love this place! Simple tacos but so yummy I could just pop taco after taco. Got the Al Pastor, Spicy Pork, and Chorizo. The large sandwich is their Torta Loka (after their restaurant name). There are a few different types of meat like beef, ham, and hot dog. It was huge but quite yummy. I recommend adding their salsa verde. They bring out a small cup of tortilla chips with their two types of salsa (verde and roja [smokey]). Inside or outside is super colorful. You're drawn to this place from across the street! Colorful chairs and flowers greet you outside and pretty painted walls inside. Friendly staff and super quick service! $3/taco what can be better than that. Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, flat entry“

“These are the BEST quesabirria tacos I have EVER had! They taste like home ?? tacos come with cheese and a very delicious consume. It was not too salty nor too watery, but a perfect consistency. The carne was seasoned to perfection, and it was a nice amount. They were not cheap with the portions! You get 3 nice big tacos.This is definitely a Hidden Gem in the East Coast ! Restaurant is extremely clean and staff is really friendly. You have to give them a try!“
