“Very glad to find this gem in Union City. Very cute cafe, friendly service and most importantly the food. Tried the churros waffles. It's really like eating churros in in the shape of waffles. Cappuccino was also very tasty. Will definitely be back.”
“Without a doubt the best taco’s I’ve ever had! Cute neighborhood establishment. Really nice staff! Thank you! 🌮🌮🌮🌮❤️”
“What a delightful surprise tucked away in a lovely side street in Union City. On a dog walk in the neighborhood, I wandered by only to return that evening. This menu is by no means standard, it introduces elements of northern Mexican cuisine with nuanced flavors to deliver a sophisticated plate. The same attention given to the culinary side of things is repeated throughout what I like to define as Spanish bistro. The owner Yannin and her son Justin have imbued their space with original touches, hidden nooks and happy, unobtrusive music; altogether a lovely experience whether in company or alone. A neighborhood treasure.”

“Forkhill is the best! The food, cocktails and vibe are always on point. I love how the menu changes seasonally. Last Thursday I ordered the pacherri pasta and OMG it was amazing!!!! That with the pumpkin old fashioned!?! My mouth is literally watering as I write this. It was the perfect fall meal. Can’t wait to go back :)”

“Absolutely love them! We went with Two Crepes for a school event we did and they were amazing aside from the deliciousness those crepes were! 10 out 10! Do recommend! Use them they are professional, on time, line of communication is prefect! Can't wait for our next event to use them again!”
“We had a very long drive from New Hampshire and when we arrived at our hotties and hungry the lady at reception offered us this place as they deliver.\nWe ordered and while we were settling into our room 45 minutes later we were called and they were in the lobby 👍\nEverything was great even the lasagna (which I make myself and am very critical of anywhere else) which was fantastic!!\nThe Philly cheese steak hero was authentic and the pizzas were out of this world and all delivered for a great price !!”
“Love this place, looks like it was lifted from Brooklyn and placed in this corner. It’s cozy and very eclectic, uniquely furnished, has a bunch of tiny unique items scattered through the space for sale, like candles, flower vases, other small decorative item. More importantly they have a menu with a variety of beverages and pastries and I believe sandwiches (not quite sure if I saw sandwiches on the menu but definitely a variety of pastries). This is going to be my new goto spot”
“Excellent Dining at Tropical Bar! It offers a delightful dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the food is outstanding. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and attentive waitress who made us feel very welcome.
Highly recommended! We'll definitely be back.”

“Popped in for some food after hitting the pool - everything was so fresh. I got the fritura and was blessed with a massive portion of fried, fresh, incredible meats, cheese, and plantains. The chicken was so moist and juicy, the chicharron was deeply flavorful and had me floored; truly so fresh, tasted like a mama made it for me. My partner got the pernil and it was also incredible. 10/10!!!”
“One of my favorite restaurants! I’ve been here several times and I always have a great experience. The place is beautiful, the atmosphere is great, and the service is excellent. They have a great variety of food, everything tastes fresh, and the drinks are delicious.
It’s a great spot whether you’re going with a small group or a larger group. They also have a bakery section with different options, which is a nice plus. My personal favorite is the beef cachapa — definitely something I recommend trying!
I highly recommend making a reservation, especially if you’re going with a group. Definitely one of my favorite places!”
“Fui con mi familia a comer por recomendación y la comida exquisita me sentí como en casa 100% recomendado ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I recently ordered 10 lbs of Guanciale from Licini Brothers. When the package arrived, there was a mix-up, and it only contained a single 11-ounce piece.
I reached out to them, and they were absolutely wonderful about correcting the error. Checko knew exactly what had happened right away and went above and beyond to make it right. Not only did they quickly ship out a brand-new package with the full 10 lbs, but they also included a free sopressata as a courtesy.
It is rare to find an online company with this level of honesty, speed, and stellar customer service. Mistakes happen, but how a company handles them is what matters—and Licini Brothers knocked it out of the park. I will definitely be a returning customer!”
“I was missing the music and culture of Mexico. I’m a gringo on the outside, but Mexican in my heart. Found this play while visiting a friend in Union City. The music was fantastic the waitress helped me with my Spanish.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Had to give this place a shoutout because they really deserve it. Such a great neighborhood pizza spot. The pizza is seriously SO good and every time we’ve ordered delivery it shows up HOT, which somehow feels rare these days. And delivery is FREE!
The customer service is also amazing. Everyone who works there is so nice, including the owners themselves. You can tell they actually care about their customers and take pride in the place.
Really just an all-around great local business with great people and even better pizza. Happy to have them in the neighborhood and definitely worth supporting”
“I got the green curry, medium spice, and it tasted amazing, very flavorful, spice level is just right, and I ate everything. The lunch special with the curry + rice + drink is great value, and there are many other options to choose from as well. The mango sticky rice was very tasty and a good size. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Great place.”
“One of the best hidden gems for authentic Dominican food. Fresh, homemade meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at very reasonable prices. I paid around $13 for a lunch special and it was excellent. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic food without the fancy atmosphere.”
“Excellent place, the attention of the Salvadoran lady 100/10 Friendly, attentive
the quiet comfortable environment
Enjoy a delicious grilled chicken, the place is highly recommended. The prices are quite comfortable. Until my birthday I celebrate with some beers...I would return without thinking about it”
“Buena comida y es un lugar muy agradable y buena música todo bueno”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I brought a coconut cream cake with Cuban meringue frosting. It was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend has a sweet tooth, but is also picky with what he eats. I'm embarrassed to say him and I ate that cake (alone) in two days 😭. The service was very nice as well. It smelled like banging coffee in there lol. I need to try it next time. 10/10 I recommend ❤”
“Definitely they offer good and fresh food, the delivery time accurate, if they tell you 30 minutes it is. Humble people, that restaurant cares about its customers. I’m very picky about eating and this is my third time ordering from this Restaurant, and The Brasa from this location on New York Avenue exceeded my expectations. 👍🏼😋👏🏼”
“We ordered a tres leches cake from here to celebrate Argentina during the World Cup, and it was the perfect choice! The cake was super moist, fresh, and absolutely delicious. It made our celebration even more special. If you're looking for an amazing tres leches cake, I highly recommend Argentina Bakery. We'll definitely be ordering again!”
“This place is very Cheers type vibe, everyone seemed to know and each other and enjoy each other. Cash only, but best prices in Hudson county if you ask me. You’re able to order food or bring food and they have bar pies if anything also. The Chinese delivery guy from the restaurant up the street, came in and got everyone even more cheery. Guy was about to play pool with his buddies before he got anther order.”
“I absolutely love this place! The food has always been very good but their service and responsiveness is amazing. I ordered fish soup not knowing it also had shrimp and immediately called them. They offered me another one without shrimp and were so accommodating about it. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for a delicious, local spot in Union City!”
“El Progreso is a cozy little restaurant, focused on typical Central American food and with very good service. I like to go, at least once a week, to share with my family the delicious tamales, baleadas, pupusas and tacos, accompanied by a delicious beet spice that they serve to their special clients. Tamarind and orchata waters are our favorites. Solidarity prices!”
“Excellent Dining at Tropical Bar! It offers a delightful dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the food is outstanding. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and attentive waitress who made us feel very welcome.
Highly recommended! We'll definitely be back.”
“Juan Carlos and Juliet are the best staff they were so nice and pleasant with me I would 100% recommend this place to anyone trying to have a good time. I will definitely come back here.”
Cheap Eats
“Best tacos in bergenline. If you want STUFFED tacos with a lot of meat/protein & get your money’s worth this is the place. double wrapped tacos, you technically get six tacos for the price of 3. so much meat that you eat it and it falls on the second shell & makes a second taco. great people as well. if your in union city this is a must have.”
“Sometimes, it is the name that attracts us to a particular restaurant. We were drawn to Terry's & were pleasantly surprised at this wonderful gem 💎❤️ of a coffee ☕️ shop!
The staff were friendly, pleasant & attentive. They serve some of the best coffee ☕️ in a casual, comfortable atmosphere! Very reasonable prices as well!
Highly recommend enjoying a relaxed cup of coffee ☕️ at Terry's!”
“Top Deli & Convenience Store is a hidden gem! The variety of items they offer is impressive, and everything is always fresh and well-stocked. The staff is friendly, helpful, and they always make you feel welcome. Whether you're grabbing a quick snack or need some household essentials, this store has you covered. Highly recommend stopping by for a convenient and pleasant shopping experience!”
“I’ve driven past Latin American Deli & Grocery so many times and finally decided to stop in one morning. I’m so glad I did because this place did not disappoint.
It’s a traditional Latin grocery with an authentic breakfast counter that reminded me of the neighborhood spots I grew up visiting. I asked if they could make a breakfast sandwich that wasn’t on the menu, and they happily made the “Boogie” for me: sausage, egg, cheese, hash browns, hot sauce, and butter on a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel. It was absolutely delicious, the portion was generous, and for under $10, the value was outstanding.
The store also has plenty of seating, a coffee station, convenience items, drinks, ice cream, an ATM, lottery tickets, and a restroom. Everything tasted fresh, and the service was warm and welcoming. One of the cutest touches was seeing the owner’s twin daughters helping at the register.
After recently paying nearly $20 for a bagel elsewhere, this was a refreshing reminder that great food doesn’t have to be expensive. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a delicious, authentic breakfast.”
“What an epic place. We drove over while visiting Hoboken and it was worth the trip. Super friendly staff, clean restaurant, large TV’s to watch the game- and the pizza was perfect! Thank you very much for the swag for my DePalma friends. We will be back soon. DePalma’s pizzeria enjoys my strongest recommendation. A+++”
“I tried this spot yesterday on my route as a driver. I really like it. Small place, very quiet and chill for lunch. The food was delicious and had large portions. My only suggestion is that you know Spanish!!! I couldn't order properly bc I don't speak Spanish, the girl at the counter didn't speak English, and I was too lazy to grab my phone from my truck. So google the menu items so you know how to order properly. I wanted stew chicken and someone translated for me, ironically. But I ended up with grilled chicken. It was delicious so that's all that mattered to me. They had my FAVORITE drinks, Jarritos and the glass Coke bottle. Definitely recommend this spot.
Food was delicious, salad was crisp and fresh, and prices were amazing as well!”
“Best place to get real ecuadorian food, best caldo de salchicha y ceviche de concha prieta fresco, best bolones and every single dish its made with love and quality of ingredients.”
“Service was top notch, the servers were eager to help us sit at our table AND they put a beautiful white napkin on our laps. Haven't seen that touch in a very long time. Food was worth every penny, delicious and also innovative takes on some standard food. I know that it's sometimes referred to as a sports bar but I found the closeness between the dining area and the sports bar area with lot and lots of gigantic screens ever changing colors and images was a bit too distracting. Great if you are there to watch a game but not to dine. Otherwise, a beautiful experience.”
“The tamales are great variety of flavors. Parking there is difficult but if you are a local then the local is great! Just behind Bergenline on New York Ave. The tamales are fresh and the orders come out quickly. We love the mole and comino flavor best but all are excellent!”
Latest Reviews
“english and spanish at bottom review bottom if you're from el salvador youll get bad to mediocre service. they rather serve people with different ethnicityThe people in this establishment were extremely rude. My familyy came in and ordered and everyone around us got served before us after she heard us, mind you our waiter there telling his side they arrived after us.55 minutes later, ( we ordered 14 pupusas amd 1 soup.) table in front and behind a party of 8 people each received their rice steaks, seafood appetizers. When we asked the waiter about it, he came off extremely rude arguing trying to prove he’s right that and we’re in the wrong…he said the others came after but ordered first before us… not right! in reality all he had to do was apologize for the wait and find out how long till food comes out. he had a face like miserable…. he wasn’t happy working there, and the manager, an older blonde lady, didn’t even offer an apology. while talking to her our server was there too again being a lawyer. the lady really seemed she wasn’t interested in us since place was busy due to salvadorian parade. She just said to pay for our drinks and leave. What a disaster. Bathroom not as clean when they’re busy. toilet had splatters of crap on sear and floor was slippery. also some air freshener wouldn’t hurt. Place is tight space and dark. there are stairs inside to dining room and 16 steps downstairs to go to restroom. so if you’re in a wheelchair, good luck. place doesn’t look like its up to code. atmosphere is not that friendly and dark not enough lighting. mirrors are dirty in dining room. Food no chance to eat. Si eres de el salvador tendrás un servicio de malo a mediocre. Prefieren atender a personas de diferentes etnias. La gente de este establecimiento fue extremadamente grosera. Mi familia entró y ordenó y todos los que nos rodeaban fueron atendidos antes que nosotros después de que ella nos escuchó, tenga en cuenta que nuestro camarero le dijo a su lado que llegaron después de nosotros. 55 minutos después (pedimos 14 pupusas y 1 sopa), mesa al frente y detrás un grupo de 8 personas recibió cada uno sus filetes de arroz, aperitivos de mariscos. Cuando le preguntamos al camarero al respecto, se mostró extremadamente grosero argumentando que intentaba demostrar que tenía razón y que nosotros estábamos equivocados... dijo que los demás vinieron después pero ordenaron primero antes que nosotros... ¡no está bien! en realidad todo lo que tenía que hacer era disculparse por la espera y averiguar cuánto falta para que salga la comida. tenía una cara como miserable…. no estaba contento trabajando allí y la gerente, una señora rubia mayor, ni siquiera se disculpó. Mientras hablaba con ella, nuestro camarero también estaba allí como abogado. La señora realmente parecía que no estaba interesada en nosotros ya que el lugar estaba ocupado debido al desfile salvadoreño. Ella solo dijo que pagáramos nuestras bebidas y nos fuéramos. Qué desastre. El baño no está tan limpio cuando están ocupados. El inodoro tenía salpicaduras de basura y el piso estaba resbaladizo. Además, un poco de ambientador no vendría mal. El lugar es un espacio reducido y oscuro. Hay escaleras adentro que conducen al comedor y 16 escalones abajo para ir al baño. así que si estás en silla de ruedas, buena suerte. El lugar no parece cumplir con el código. El ambiente no es tan amigable y oscuro, no hay suficiente iluminación. Los espejos están sucios en el comedor. Comida sin posibilidad de comer.”
“I had the best wings I’ve ever eaten yesterday at this place. What we ordered was the wings with the chipotle barbecue sauce. Absolutely scrumptious! Incredible balance of hot, sweet, and smoky flavors. as others have said, there is a short wait for this wonderfully prepared food. Run, don’t walk!”

“I order here all the time; the food is great and has flavor, not bland like other places. I definitely recommend. Minor complaints is that they don’t follow instructions too well; I ask them to put the meats separate from the rice; sometimes they listen, but sometimes they don’t as you see in the picture. Also, I advise that if you order a Coca Cola, make sure you let them know you don’t want Pepsi because someone there seems to not know the difference between the 2.
Pepsi sucks.”

“I stop by Kung Fu Tea in Union City every few weeks. My go-to drink is the Peach Milk Tea, which is always my favorite order. I also enjoy their macarons, and I think they’re amazing. Another item I like is the spam rice ball, which makes a great snack with my drink.
Overall, I enjoy visiting because I consistently have a good experience, and it’s one of my favorite places to grab a refreshing drink and a quick bite.”
“Went in around 12:25pm today, off the bat the outside of the cafe caught my attention and Ive been looking for a nice cafe to chill and have good food, this one did not disappoint!!!
They have a pretty great selection of food and I thought going in it was just a basic cafe but its so much better!! I had the juevos rancheros, and as a colombian I recommend we love eggs for breakfast.
The service was amazing and everyone was very kind and professional, brought me my food and drink and also gave me utensils when asked :)
10/10!!! Definitely coming back soon”
“Had the best time at Breezies. We were four friends visiting NY for the world cup and the staff and clientele could not be more welcoming and warm. Would highly recomend!!!”

“I had the pleasure of enjoying freshly made cappuccinos by Lawany, Starbucks has nothing on her. I then proceeded to have fresh squeezed orange juice, also amazing. Now let’s talk about Jefferey the hands behind the cuisine. What’s 4 + 4 …. 8(ATE)… and that’s exactly what I did. From the soup the to steak with rice and beans. Chef's kiss. I will definitely be back.”
