“I came here for the first time a week ago for a friend's birthday and it was so good, I immediately made a reservation for a date night for the following week while still in the restaurant.The owner, who is lovely, charming and has a fun sense of humor, saw me seated at the table and waiting for my date to find parking. He came up to me and helped us find parking in a great spot. We very much appreciated the help. (note to self: leave yourself a little time to look before* your reservation lol)The servers there are knowledgeable about the menu and attentive to the patrons. We had the rigatoni special with pancetta and asparagus, short ribs (to die for) as well as the apple tart with ice cream and spiced chocolate mousse and everything was well seasoned, fresh and delicious. I look forward to returning and suggesting this restaurant to friends.”
“What a find! Old school Italian restaurant. Original owners since 1981. There's a reason they're still in business after all these years. Pops still cooks! Some of the best broccoli rabe I've ever had ! Super large portions. Remember they're a BYO. Bring your favorite wine! It's very crowded on the weekend. The Tiramisu is home made! Don't pass it by! Reservations recommended.”

As soon as you step inside, you are warmly greeted by the vibrant atmosphere and the friendly staff, setting the stage for an extraordinary dining experience.The empanadas are a crispy delight, with a golden exterior that crunches satisfyingly at the first bite. Filled with a mixture of seasoned meat, each empanada is a flavorful explosion that captures the essence of Cuban cuisine.An unexpected surprise, the guacamole chips at offer a fresh and innovative take on traditional Cuban sides. The chips, perfectly seasoned and crispy, paired with three different style guacamole, make for an irresistible combination that's hard to stop eating.The drinks are great as well, don’t miss them out!!Overall, what sets The Cuban apart is not just its exceptional food but also its outstanding service. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure every guest feels welcome and taken care of.

“I wanted a tea party cake for my daughters birthday and I wanted a beautiful cake with the kettle. I also had a budget in mind. I was assured by Diana that she will make a beautiful cake and not to worry. She exceeded my expectations and delivered a cake that wowed everyone at the party. We got so many compliments. She’s the most amazing baker, I would recommend her custom cakes to all my friends. Thank you so much Gladis bakery ☺️”
“Food portions were good and the service was great. Small spot so it can feel crowded when all the tables are filled. Our waitress was really prompt and got us our food in a timely manner. I had the Lomo w/ fried rice and my wife had the shrimp lomo w/ fried rice. While my dish was a bit salty for my liking hers was the opposite with not much flavor to it. Overall decent experience. Parking is a nightmare so be prepared to find parking multiple blocks away if you’re lucky.”

“I have wanted to visit the Sweets & Cafe Bakery for a long time. It is a few blocks away from my dentist, and I finally had the opportunity to visit last Friday, March 8, 2024. The service was excellent, and the two staff people who took and served my order were very professional, friendly and helpful. The cafe con leche was MUY DELICIOSO, and the ocho with guava and cream was also very tasty. The place was so clean, and the bathroom was also very clean and well-stocked, too. I look forward to returning as soon as I can.”

“What a gem! We discovered this restaurant by chance and were thoroughly impressed. Sampling various vegetarian dishes left us torn as to which was our favorite. Abigail provided exceptional service with her warmth. The food arrived promptly, and the taro boba tea was delightful.”
“Awesome place with awesome people and AWEsome pizza! Triple P! I ordered 4 different slices at almost 11pm, and they were all stellar ?Lots of seating, bathroom was clean, and they're open later than most places!Great pizza spot to frequent!”
“This is a fantastic find! With very little juice bars in this area, Tutti Frutti juice bar deserves a repeated and loyal visit. Service is friendly, juices are fresh and healthy, the menu is incredibly diverse. Although space is limited, it's definitely not cramped. If you're driving, looking for parking in the surrounding area shouldn't be that bad, just don't double park directly out front, this part of Park Avenue is incredibly active. Ultimately, Tutti Frutti is a go, and a go again!”
“I’m so glad this bakery is in Union City. Their sandwiches and baked sweets are amazing. It’s been hard to find a decent bakery in UC and this place is even better than the ones in NYC. Also the staffs are super sweet.”
“Nice for a good espressoIts variety of products are a real temptation...I only ask that you put the prices on the menu..The fact that only you know how much each product you sell is worth leaves me at a disadvantage of not knowing if you are really giving me the right price.”
“I thoroughly enjoy my meals at this restaurant. they provide a good quantity of food and the flavors are great. They make amazing rice and beans too. the staff is always super nice and service is fast. Definitely a go-to for Mexican food in my area.”
“Best breakfast spot in the downtown NB/UC areaI’m more than positive their hot food is just as great! Every time I get BEC I always get that cheese pull and bacon in every bite!”
“The mole poblano is divine. Mushroom quesadillas with blue tortillas are so fragrant and memorable. Birria is always a pleaser. Plus their salsas. The quality of their tortillas is unforgettable—fresh, floury, colorful. Love the interior decor. Will definitely return when in the area.Also, don’t forget to keep a lookout for the cute neighborhood cats (outside the shop down the block).”
“Hits the spot. Never disappoints. Kind and pleasant staff. Reliable and enjoyable. I have been eating here for a long time and will continue to do so. Thank you all.”
“I really liked the place, the attention and above all the variety of food, from a delicious MOFONGO to some YUMMY MEXICAN TACOS!! I will definitely return as many times as possible! 100% recommended!!”

“Family-run restaurant, mom and dad in the kitchen making amazing food and daughter in front serving guests. Incredible Ceviche Carretillero (fish ceviche and fried squid) and extremely delicious and piping hot lomo saltado, actually made in a wok because you can taste the difference and the perfect cook of the veg and marinated beef. Incredibly underrated spot, so so so so worth visiting. Sundays before 5 are a good time to come to get fast service as it’s not too busy. This place needs to blow up!”

“They have a friendly and quick staff, they know the menu very well and so far made two great suggestions that I really enjoyed. Beat Bolon we had so far in the planting to cheese and meat ratio. Hoping they Jazz it up in the future and add a cheese sauce like their competitors who don’t have that great ratio just mentioned.”
“we got there by accident but we didn't regret it! Me and my daughter took pizza slices and my life took tuna sald and both were good lookin' and tasty! All food was good value for the money and guys were cool and pleasant!For sure we will step by again to Sam's Pizza during our one week stay on town.”

“Termini in Union City, NJ has become a family go to for years now. Ranging from pizzas to spaghetti dinners to salads and hot soups and not to forget mozzarella sticks, there is something for everybody. Plain pie with grilled chicken pieces has been a recent go to for me. Although parking is somewhat hard at times, we are okay walking a block or two. Thank you Termini will be back!”
“This chinese place literally has the best chicken wings and half chicken . Seasoning is great and the quality of the chicken is amazing . The rice is A1, best quality wings you will find in the area ! 10/10”
“I only ordered food for delivery from here and EVERYTHING was Delicious and was delivered hot. My daughter and her friends truly enjoyed their meals and so did I, while we stayed at the Sheraton Hotel in Weehawken. We ask for 4 sugar packets of sugar for each hot coffee, we asked for specific cheese, etc and they did not skip a beat. Their prices for the area were truly an appreciation. Thank you staff. ?”

“This place has such good food. Their baleadas are very flavorful and rich. Their churrasco was juicy and accompanied well by the rice and beans. That dish was a little pricey though compared to other places. Oh and the pupusas are so good here. Some of the best I've had.”

“? a spectacular treatment ? the attention is 10! Very friendly, here you will enjoy a good coffee! And excellent food ❤️ I will repeat! Thank you very much ☺️”
“The best Italian place for me, the most delicious suquinis if you are vegetarian, the prosciutto, bread and fresh mosarella and the ravioli to cook at home handmade on site are exquisite. This is a small place located on 23rd and Bergenline but with a big and unique taste of Italy. the attention is the best. I find the most delicious Italian Baci chocolates here, I recommend them.”
“Went here on a Sunday, service was top notch, there also wasn't many people. The Waiter was very nice, helpful, and energetic. The food was very delicious!

“Where do I even start? I've been to countless Taco Bells across the country from New York to Kentucky to Arizona, as well as many in New Jersey. This is the number one Taco Bell for quality of food and dining experience.Usually Taco Bells are extremely loud what with constant beeping and employees yelling at each other. Not this one. It was so tranquil. No beeping. No screaming. Makes you want to stay inside awhile instead of taking your food and leaving.The burritos are unlike any Taco Bell I've had in my life. That sh-t was perfectly filled, cooked, folded and arranged on my tray. Incredible taste that is way better than the price you pay.Please give your employees a raise. They're hard working and polite. Never change, Union City Taco Bell.”
“Cozy place, beautifully decorated. Sounds system is great. Karaoke on Thursdays is fun, and the "worst singer" gets a prize! The food is really good but the drinks are on the expensive side.Parking: Tiny parking lot. Try to get in there. We got a ticket for parking on the street with no residential tag. Also, the owner had some visitor tags you can use to avoid getting a ticket non-resident ?”
“Excellent place, I love the attention of the cashier, Mr. Robert, the waiters impeccable presentation, Miss Natalia is very attentive, her entire team, the chef, makes a lentil soup, I feel at home!!!”

“I don’t usually like Dominican food, but this place makes it so well that I just keep ordering food from here when I have days off from work.The prices are fantastic and they always give you more than enough food, if you want to get a lot of food for not so much money come here, the food is delicious.”
Cheap Eats
“Had their chicken sandwich on a whim as I was walking by the neighborhood. It was a simple sandwich with chicken chunks lettuce tomatoes onions and I think mayo. It was decent and the service was pretty good. The ladies there were very nice. It's a small little shop and I was able to use the bathroom which was very clean and had a lot of mirrors. I would definitely come back here to try some of their soups. I saw it was a soup special for lunch so I will be trying that out. I also saw a few customers eating the soup as I was waiting for my sandwich. It looked really hearty and delicious.”
“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!”
“I love bills, Milanese samwish and more. It is a place that has been giving us the delicious taste of Argentina for 35 or more years, bringing memories and a piece of South America to New Jersey. Thank you for still keeping your Argentina alive...”
“I had the most wonderful exchange with Maria the owner today. She is the sweetest most engaging person I have had the pleasure to meet in a long time. Although I have lived in Union City for decades, I had not noticed this bakery. Be prepared to stay longer than you expected and purchase more than you planned! Everything is fresh and hand made with natural ingredients something I no longer expect. The customer service is something from days gone by and very welcomed to those like me of a certain generation, when this was the norm! I just finished eating a Hand rolled baklava (Sarali) and all I can say is WOW!!! I don't have enough adjectives to describe how happy I am to have found this gem in close proximity to my home! 100% recommendation!!”
“Stopped in for a coffee and breakfast and instantly felt like I was back in Spain. The food and coffee were good and the server was very friendly. I will make it a regular stop when I'm in the area.”
“Wow. Had to waste time to emergency fix my car so I stumbled onto this cafe. Atmosphere is laid back and walking distance to every where on Bergenline Ave. Coffee and pastries are fresh and delicious. Wanna pass time and enjoy 80-90s music, stop by here.”
“It's a tiny cramped shop but the pizza is really good. Not the best I've ever had but it's delicious. Always consistently good. For a small place they pack a nice menu. One of my faves is the grilled chicken hero. Their burgers and chicken fingers are excellent also. The regular guys that work here are nice and down to earth. I come here and they know me. It's my kind of place. Also I have placed large orders before for my kids school and they delivered an excellent product on time. I love Tom's. I can't say enough good things about them. Good people and excellent pizza.”
“This little coffeecorner has a very nice atmosphere.They serve delicious coffees and some nice fresh food. We had latte , cappuccino chocomatcha , fresh lemonade, croissants and fresh korean kimbop all ”
“This place is definitely hidden from the plethora of restaurants on bergenline.It’s basically a cafeteria with a bar, the waitresses are nice to the point - just know what you want.Only reason why the review loses is a star is the “cuban tamale” its not , no meat/pork - it’s basically an elote (corn tamale). It ain’t terrible for an elote but a traditional Mexican restaurant would be the ideal spot for that.The food is actually good , nowadays outside food especially “cuban” food is trash - nothing like abuela / mama / tia. It will hit the spot!The croquetas were soft, they could’ve been fried more to get them crispy.The mondongo was delicious, generous portions of tripe!Would definitely return, recommend (except the tamale)”
“The service…the feel…the food… best for last… this is the spot…from a true pizza snob… I couldn’t love this spot more. I asked for thin crust well done and it’s exactly what I received. It’s an old school feel with great food. Definitely recommend!!”
“It is a place to taste and savor exquisite dishes, you can eat there or take away, visit this dining room and you will see what is stated in this message, thank ”
“THIS IS THE BEST TACO TRUCK YOU WILL EVER FIND IN NEW JERSEY AND I BET A CHORIZO TACO ON THATbut all aside, this is an incredible place if you want some good tacos. It's a true comfort food to me whenever I am feeling scared about school. so knowing I can come here and eat this, it warms my heart.”
“Really fresh seafood fried crisp and moist. Shrimp and Flounder with a huge side of rice and fried plantains. Got serious full on $20. Very friendly service. One thing to know is that they do not have menus so you should ask how much your meal will cost after you pick your items.”
“For some reason, I have never been able to eat the white sauces(ranch/blue cheese) so this is the first time I bit into the pizza and liked the sauce! I couldn’t stop eating it lol….it was a thin slice with bacon and chicken bits….the sauce was a bit sweet but it was really good…the little spinach and pepperoni bites were really good! I wish I would have taken pictures of everything. They even waited for me to get there, after I told them that I would be getting there, a few minutes after closing. If I lived up this way, I would certainly come to Pitstop Pizza.”
“I recently went there with my family for Mexican brunch. I wasn’t expecting much. It’s a low-key hole in a wall kind of place — but creatively designed. I was blown away by the quality of food. All the sauces were really fresh. Rice was cooked to perfection. The flavors were very refined and the beans were perfect. Tacos were amazing too. I was disappointed by the waffles (but it’s not a waffle place). The cafe con leche was amazing too. The flavors are better than Charittos (which is 5 times more expensive and always crowded). It’s hands down the best Mexican food I’ve had in the neighborhood.”

“??? AN ENVIRONMENT TO LISTEN TO MUSIC AND PLAY A BILLIARD TABLE. HIGHLIGHTING THAT THE SECURITY MANAGER IS THE BEST, A TRUE HUMAN BEING AND WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL TREATMENT!??UN AMBIENTE PARA ESCUCHAR MUSICA Y JUGAR UNA MESA DE BILLAR. DESTACANDO QUE EL ENCARGADO DE SEGURIDAD ES DE LO MEJOR, UN VERDADERO SER HUMANO Y CON UN TRATO EXCEPCIONAL!???”
“Came in to eat but that day they didn’t have any food so we got bubble teas . Milk Thai tea and topiica. The staff was so nice and apologetic about not having food just drinks .they gave my wife extra bubbles in her tea . Will come back some other day just to try the food because the staff made our experience that much more special by going above and beyond .Parking: It’s difficult”
“Great food, good people but the other reviews about watch your check are accurate. Would be much better if they just told you they were adding 18% to your check (it was a 2 person table, automatic gratuity not assumed). Quick to resolve but still, why be shady?”
“I've always driven by this place and heard excellent things, so this morning I decided to finally stop in for some breakfast. I was expecting somewhere I could sit and view the menu, but there was no menu posted anywhere on the wall and there didn't seem to be any menus that I could look at.What I really wanted was a breakfast sandwich, but seeing nothing at all that said those were available, I decided to order from the pastry case.There were so many items and not being familiar with Colombian food, I didn't know what to choose. I chose an empanada (ranchero), a hawaiian stuffed pastry, and a couple of buñuelos.The women behind the counter were friendly taking my order, heating the items up for me, and handing them over, but strangely dropped the smile and didn't say Thank you or goodbye when I said it to her. Even as I put tip in the tip jar, she didn't smile at me again. I thought that was a little bit strange.Once I got back to my car and resumed my commute to work, I tasted the food.Every single thing was DElicious! I've never had such flaky, lightly crisp empanadas and I love empanadas. The bunuelos were excellent and I loved the flavor of the cheese. The hawaiian pastry was a little weird because the sweetness of the pineapple contrasted with the savory cheese and ham in there, but I guess that's the point!I want to try the location that's a couple blocks over, to see if I can view their full menu. But definitely want to come back here and will sample more of their pastries!”
“Food is delicious, and the quality is consistent. I had the mixed seafood soup twice in the past week. I also tried other dishes that were on point ? I will definitely go back for more.”

“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 always come to eat fanesca and I always leave happy because of the excellent food. The flavor is excellent, the attention of the two girls is unbeatable, the atmosphere is calm, they don't stun you with loud music. One of the best Ecuadorian food restaurants. Congratulations for excellence ???”

“This place is super cute. Unfortunately, I thought the bowls were a bit too sweet for me. But, nonetheless, we enjoyed them. Would like to come more often, but will have to reduce my visits to reduce my sugar intake. Everyone that works here is wonderful and nice.”

“The mole poblano is divine. Mushroom quesadillas with blue tortillas are so fragrant and memorable. Birria is always a pleaser. Plus their salsas. The quality of their tortillas is unforgettable—fresh, floury, colorful. Love the interior decor. Will definitely return when in the area.Also, don’t forget to keep a lookout for the cute neighborhood cats (outside the shop down the block).”
“Very nice place, very good meal with nice portions. We are 8 French tourists including 3 children and we got 254 dollars worth of fun. Very friendly staff who even offered us 3 cups of dinner. We plan to return to the United States next year and we will return there with great pleasure.I recommend !!!”
“This particular KFC had a perfect and fresh tasting big box 5 tenders meal. Tenders were juicy, mac n cheese was perfect cheesey and salty, fries were crispy, but I would not recommend the biscuits. To my taste were soft bread like and not flaky/buttery.”
“What a gem! We discovered this restaurant by chance and were thoroughly impressed. Sampling various vegetarian dishes left us torn as to which was our favorite. Abigail provided exceptional service with her warmth. The food arrived promptly, and the taro boba tea was delightful.”
