“Absolutely incredible authentic Mexican and Latin cuisine. Courteous and friendly service, attentive food presentation, and oh so delicious. We drive over 20 mins from home just to come eat breakfast here. The huevos rancheros are simply sublime.“

“The food, the staff here and overall the quality of this restaurant is beyond 5*Will always come back here with a smileKid-friendliness: We came here with our 18month old daughter and she enjoyed her food and the kindness of the staff towards her“
“We have ordered food here many times for our family. The food is always delicious and the staff is excellent! The owner is very supportive of the community!!! If your organization is looking to fundraise, please reach out to the owner of Bubbakoo's Burritos in Livingston.“
“This is a small business that makes you feel at home even from different ethnicity. We are a fmaily of 7 and accomodated us very well. My kids are extremely picky and 3 of them chose the chicken tacos and loved them! One had the quesadilla and he is the most picky he ate some and took the rest for the next day. I am very picky with Mexican authentic food but this surpass all the restaurants I have been to in PA (I live in PA)! Al Azar plate was awesome and my baby is not one to eat much and she was eating the rice. My husband had the Caldo beef. To my surprise that was the most tasty soup I have tasted and the 1st Mexican soup I have tasted! The horchata was out of this world good! Will definitely go back again! I told the server that my son had a shellfish allergy and respected that! I bet the rest of the dishes are just as good!Parking: It’s a small location with parking. But that is enough for us!Kid-friendliness: My kids were excited! The decorations made them so happy! The food was great! Respected my child’s allergies!“
“Central Taqueria is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped in, I knew I was in for a treat. The homemade tortillas are a game-changer – absolutely perfect in every way.I had the pleasure of trying their cochinita, pollo, al pastor, and birria tacos, and each one was bursting with flavor. And let's talk about their deals, especially Taco Tuesday – it's a steal! I even got to enjoy an agua fresca alongside my four delicious tacos.Oh, and don't get me started on their churros – just the right amount of sweetness, making them literally perfect.What really sets Central Taqueria apart, though, is the warmth and friendliness of the owner and staff. They made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in.I'm already planning my return visit tomorrow – where I will be trying their torta! Thank you, Central Taqueria, for an unforgettable taco experience. Best i have had in east coast (coming from a Californian!)“
“We ate here once before, but it was just as things opened up after COVID, and it was so-so. We finally returned and I'm so happy we did. The food was very good, the service was super friendly and attentive, and the interior is cozy. We've found our favorite local spot for Mexican food!“
“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“
“Macho Nacho continues to be the best tacos around! Used to eat at the old location, and love the new location more. I traveled a lot for work and I only get one thing here which stacks up amazingly to the best tacos - carne asada on a crispy taco shell. Comes with guac (a must have) and pico, and add the amazing red and green sauces and squeeze of lime - perfection! Top off with a Mexican Coke and you have an amazing and affordable meal - the spice and flavor dances on the tongue and continues to do so after you leave!“
“March 2024. We've been coming here for years. Really enjoy the authentic tacos. The fixings bar to add sauce, cilantro, onions, cactus, and so much more, allows you to customize the tacos to your taste. Personally I love Al Pastor and Placeros tacos. Service is friendly. They have staff that speak English, which helps us who speak little Spanish. But either way, their menu is written in English and Spanish.Parking is the only hardship. Have to drive around and find a spot.Parking: Drive around until you find parking, esp. on weekends.“
“"Oh. My. Tastebuds! ? I just had the most divine Birria tacos at 3 Hermanos , and I'm still reeling from the flavor explosion! The tender, slow-cooked goat meat just fell apart in my mouth, swimming in a rich, spicy, and slightly sweet consommé that had me swooning. The fresh cilantro, onion, and lime wedges added a pop of freshness to each bite. But the real game-changer was the housemade tortillas - soft, pliable, and slightly charred - they elevated the entire experience to new heights. I've had Birria tacos before, but these were truly transcendent. If you're a taco aficionado or just looking to try something new, DO NOT MISS OUT ON THESE! ?? 10/10 would devour again (and again...and again...)."“
“Best Authentic Honduran mostly and Mexican food around the area, the baleadas and pollos con tajadas ufff another level of greatness, the staff super friendly and the price is super affordable for being a foreign food type of restaurant… price ranges in between $10-$20 a plate max. Well recommended ??“
“My whole family really loves Los Carnales. I'm surprised I haven't written about them yet. It's our 3 year old son's first choice when we were deciding where to go. He loves the chips with the green salsa, and he has good taste - it's very flavorful. The inside is just super cute and festive. It is small and cozy, but one of our favorite spots. We also love the waitresses. We do get take out often as well, but despite our introvert personalities we prefer to go there. We try different things on the menu, but we always start with the Choriqueso. It's so hard to find a good chorizo queso that isn't all grease with cheap cheese. This ends up being the little guy's meal. I also love the Ensalada de la Casa with shrimp. Lately we've been loving the Quesadilla Mexicanas with steak or shrimp. They are really generous portions as well. The menu has both Mexican and American style on the favorites, which I really appreciate. Not only is it good for those used to one style, but it also offers great variety if you just want something different. I'm sorry it took almost a year for me to applaud this place. Mexican is our favorite but I have struggled to find a good place, despite glowing reviews. The food looks fantastic but then the protein is completely bland. Not Los Carnales!! They know what they're doing.“
“We love this place! The staff is always welcoming and the food is so good! I usually get the flautas or tostadas, and look forward to their chips & salsa. Fine in and takeout orders have always been ready fast and served hot. We've never had any issues and have been coming here every so often since they opened. Highly recommended!“
“I really like this place and couldn't wait to try it again. When I arrived I parked on the street. I walked into a busy restaurant. I was greeted and ordered the burrito bowl and the street corn. The bowl was good as per usual. And the ambiance and service were good. I definitely had a good experience!“
“Food was delicious! We were driving through to get gas off the highway and luckily we found this place. Absolutely delicious and would definitely recommend. We had chicken and steak tacos with guacamole/salsa & chips. Perfection & super affordable!Dietary restrictions: Asked for no diary and grilled chicken instead of breaded and they accommodated our needs with no hesitation.“
“We are from out of town and we were looking for a family oriented restaurant that had good home cooking. The food was delicious, I had a whole snapper with white rice and tostones (green fried plantains) and my husband had white rice, black beans, salad and steak smothered in onions. Everything was Delicious and I even took my leftovers to the hotel for later. I can't say enough about the treatment we got from Denis the owner and his wife. He came to our table and we talked and even exchanged phone numbers. I would recommend anyone looking for a homey place with excellent food and staff to go and enjoy your meal there. You will not regret it.“
“Our server davie was awesome- my son has a few allergies (dairy, egg, and nut) and made sure all of the food we ordered was safe for him to eat. We really appreciated it, especially that he checked up on us asking if he was safe once the food came out. Little things like that I’ve really come to appreciate at restaurants and make our experience so much better. Definitely adding Nom to the list of restaurants to visit again. Thanks!Dietary restrictions: My son has a dairy egg and peanut allergy“
“My family and I recently dined here which left me craving more with its delicious offerings. One highlight was the live guacamole preparation right at the table, providing a fresh and customizable start to the meal. The tacos were a burst of authentic Mexican food goodness, with perfectly seasoned fillings. Overall, this restaurant delivers on taste, atmosphere, and authenticity, making it a must-visit for any Mexican cuisine enthusiast.“
“Stopped by after an event at Chatham. The atmosphere was relaxing/calm. The service/ customer service was great, we were greeted as soon as we came in and our food was brought in a reasonable amount of time. We ordered the Molcajete and it was delicious with an authentic taste! We will definitely return.“
“This place is wonderful! Every time I walk in through the door, the whole crew makes me feel welcome with a big smile and a nice greeting. They are very attentive and careful when it comes to preparing your meal. Food service is just outstanding!Food quality is ?! Birria Tacos are my favorite! The restaurant is always spotless. Definitely, if you haven't been here in a while, you must come back since this place has been under new management for a couple of years!“
“I wish I went here sooner. I love everything about this place. There’s plenty of food options. They have a sandwich and wrap station , taco station , pizza station , a fresh salad and bowl station and fruits and desserts. There’s plenty of chips and drinks to choose from. This is a great lunch spot. I had a “Livingston” pizza which had bacon, pineapple , and Gorgonzola cheese and it was real delicious. I also tried an “Essex” sandwich which was chicken cutlet , spicy ranch and tomato on Focaccia bread toasted nicely in the oven. Relaxed atmosphere with plenty of seating. Very friendlyHelpful people working. I will be back for sure to try many more items.“
“As soon as my partner and I arrived we were acknowledged and seated. Our waitress was kind and prompt. We clearly polished off the complementary chips and dip, which were so good. The food is absolutely delicious. My partner ordered Tostadas and I ordered Flatos. This is not just a diner, they have amazing food. We just stopped in after coming back from the city and boy are we sure glad we did. We both finished our plates. 10/10 would eat here again.“
“Super cool place. My partner and I got two drinks which were delicious but strong! We loved the chips and salsa. We order queso dip for an appy and that was good. He had a burrito and I had fajitas both were delicious! He finished his burrito and I had lots of leftover. We were not crazy for the cheesecake bomb but everything else was delicious.“
“Came here for breakfast on a Saturday and there wasn’t a lot happening inside, but the service was great. Very friendly staff and the food felt very authentic Mexican. Ordered the Huevos Rancheros and it was great! Not exactly what I was expecting for breakfast, but everything was good.“
“We went for dinner and ordered Grilled New York Style Steak with Mexican Adobo Rub, Sauttéed mushroom and onions and Beef Tongue in Green Tomatillo Sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection, it was tender, a generous size. The tongue beef was totally delicious. as well as the Margarita. Chilo, the owner is very friendly and attentive, prices are great. We'll definitely come back!“
“The place is nice , good for quick breakfast-brunch. The menu is pretty big, but the food is not special. We got a flight of jams, it was served with mini croissants, corn muffins and biscuits, but it wasn’t fresh at all. It was warmed up, but tasted like it’s been standing for few days already. I’ve had the smoked salmon omelette that was served with home fries and a toast-it was great. Overall, a nice place but wouldn’t say that I loved it.“
“My boyfriend and I have been to many restaurants in Morristown, but Orale is definitely our new favorite. With dinner we tried the Blood Orange Margarita, and the Cosmopolitan, both drinks we highly recommend. We started with the Pork Belly Guacamole, Pulpo, and Flautas de Pollo. All were truly amazing and exciting. As mains, we had the wood grilled carne asada and the Ribeye Plancha. The meat in both dishes was so tender and perfectly buttery. Lastly for dessert we shared the Flan, Tres Leches and an espresso martini. The flan is the true highlight of the night. It is truly so delicate and delicious. It is a MUST TRY. Fausto was our server and was super attentive, kind and very welcoming We genuinely could not love and recommend this restaurant more. Incredible and absolutely one of the best restaurant in the Morristown area.“
“Fantastic place to eat Central American food! It’s my favorite in Dover! The staff is always very friendly and the place is clean and it reflects on their food! Nolvia and JP are always very helpful and attentive and several times Nolvia has gotten out of her way to bring me food to my house when I have been sick even if it’s 15 min away from Dover!Try the cena hondureña, pollo con tajadas and baleada and of course their chicken soup! I love it!!!!!!!!!“
“Had dinner here today and had a great meal with the family. I have ordered delivery multiple times from here before and food was always fresh, but never opted for a review since it was delivery. Also not many Mexican restaurants offer free chips and salsa anymore but they do here so that was nice to see. Some local businesses nowadays definitely overcharge or have high credit card fees and this is one of them that's the only reason for the 4 stars. They have a 4% surcharge so bringing cash is recommended.“
“This is the place to go!!!If you are looking for a nice, sparkling clean, great food, and amazing atmosphere, this is definitely the place to go!!!Great food fairly priced, (low l would say), for the kind of drinks and quality of food you will get....and if you decide to go make certain to ask for Kevin, he is the mexican server that literally save the night, he is there on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays...Way to go Margarita Team!!!“
“Absolutely adore this restaurant and have been going for years! My husband and I love their food so much that we ordered catering for our daughter's first birthday and it was DELICIOUS. We had so many compliments. Gloria was so easy to work with and incredibly thoughtful with our order. You can tell everything is made with love.Dietary restrictions: We ordered specifically around my husband's gluten allery and everything was safe!“
“Ordered from here for the first time for delivery. It was very good! I ordered fish burrito bowl. The fish is shredded in small pieces. We also ordered the short rib tacos which were good and the cheese quesadilla. I would definitely order from here again.“
“Outstanding!!! We've never had a bad (or off) meal at Jose's Mexican Cantina. Everything is always super fresh, made to order, very authentic, delicious, not overly salty, and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere is festive and fairly small, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in New Jersey. And it is a BYOB, so you can bring your favorite wine or beer to dine with! Enthusiastically recommended. A+++++“
“We ordered the chicken tacos, chicken nachos and a beef burrito. The food was very good and done at the time we requested (we placed a special request to get it done right away - bad planning on our part - thanks for helping). in addition, we received our food the exact way we requested it and nothing was missing. My only minor complaint is that the burrito is smaller than some places but it was well worth $10, which is a fair price. Everything else was priced fairly as well with large quantities and in most instances cheaper than other places The chicken tacos and nachos was a large, very tasty serving. The person who took our order was very friendly. Two requests - please add churros (your competitors have) & fix online ordering :) we look forward to returning!“
“Very good Mexican and Latin cuisine restaurant in Bernardsville. We either eat or order from there all the time. It's a breath of fresh air in a town dominated by countless Italian restaurants. Good food, relatively decent prices, free parking in the back, and casual atmosphere. The braised short rib enchiladas with mole sauce and the Shrimp a la Diabla are the best. Our kids love the fajitas.Parking: The parking is shared with other businesses, but we typically always find a spot.“

“I'd give it 10 stars if I could. Authentic atmosphere, the musician couldn't miss, the staff was attentive and hospitable, and the food was incredible. Place was packed but didn't feel crowded. This place rules. Not to mention, our bill was surprisingly low for the amount of food we got. Special place that I will always come back to and bring family and friends. I love you so much Don Jose you are my angel“

The food is literally an aphrodisiac I feel like I am in heaven. I would literally drive an hour just to be able to eat this food again. Oh my goodness I feel blessed.“
“The place was decorated as you would expect for a Mexican restaurant. The staff were all nice and accommodating, explaining a few pointers as well. The food was spot on, as authentic as I've eaten in Mexico. The portions were large and the prices very fair, especially in 2024. We'll be back.Parking: Easily park in front of or across the street in the free municipal lot.“

“I come up here from Houston Texas sometimes for work and I always eat at a diner. Tonight I had a craving for Mexican food and this place did not disappoint. It is some of the best food that I have eaten and their Aztec soup is probably the best soup I have ever had. The waitress was attentive and friendly and genuinely appreciated the comments about their food.“
