“This place truly feels like a hidden gem. While the interior may not be the best, the food and hospitality here are exceptional. The staff’s kindness brings a warm, uplifting atmosphere from the moment you step in until you leave. The food is delightful, but it’s the welcoming service that makes the experience memorable. I genuinely want to commend them for it“

“I have dined there a few times. Twice with my daughter. Their food is delicious. Great tasting burgers and Beef Nachos. The Staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is relaxing. I learned how to say mushrooms in Spanish. Thank you.“

“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).“

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

It was also more food than we expected, and was very well packed for transport. We’ve enjoyed the experience of dining at Sofia’s, and now also the catered g experience.“

“I grew up in Texas and enjoyed this authentic beef taco bowl for a casual and affordable dinner in Newark. The owner and staff clearly put their hearts into each ingredient in the bowl which comes together as a Tex-Mex festival of flavors.

Kid-friendliness: Saw a mother and daughter there. Lots of teenagers were eating there as well.“

“Very good food and great service. The salsa with chips was delicious. Horchata was amazing. All of the tortillas are handmade, meats were seasoned perfectly. Sauces in the dishes have just the smallest bit of spicy kick to them, but not super hot.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 .“

“AAAAAAMAZING - Hands down incredible. I ordered the loaded nachos with ground beef and side of Birria sauce for dipping... Literally the BEST thing ever! Delish! This was the first time I ordered from here and seriously can not wait to order again!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Good place to go great food“

“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.“

“Better than chipolte. Great food“

“Muy buena comida y buenos precios.“

“the food was amazing everything on the menu hits the spot and at a very good price too, most stores charge almost 20 dollars for one plate of food but that isn’t the case here. Here i felt comfortable and the food was amazing, the owner also made sure that i was having a great time. I would 100% definitely recommend to anyone!“

“Todo muy bonito y las personas q atienden a los clientes muy buenas personas muy humildes recomiendo este restaurante ❤️❤️“
