It's hard to find decent Mexican food in Morris County. Yes, there are TexMex places and fast food joints, but happily one long time favorite, Casa Maya, takes it to the next level.
On a recent visit, we started with mushrooms in a flavorful brown sauce - a delightful appetizer and one my wife and I decided we would order again and again. Just as we finished the mushrooms, our main dish arrived - my wife had their mole chicken - 2 chicken breasts in a brown sesame sauce. I tasted her dish and decided that I would have that next time. And I had their shrimp wrapped in bacon (it comes with a discount coupon for a heart bypass). Man was that good so that chicken will get skipped next time?
This is a BYO place so be sure to do so.
Expect to wait on Saturday night and remember you are in the Great Swamp so watch for the deer on the twisty back roads to and from. We saw several.
One last thing, their homemade salsa and chips rate as the best around - almost a good enough reason to go if you are chip-addicted.
