Fork Hill Kitchen 201 16th St, Union City American • $$

“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.”

“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!”

Casa di Napoli PROFESSIONAL BUILDING, 703 32nd St, Union City Italian • $$

“This past Saturday, we had one of the best red sauce meals in a long time. Casa Di Napoli in Union City. JC folks; as good or possibly better than Fox Place or Laico's (blasphemy, I know.) Everything was so reasonably priced that we ordered like real gavones. The stuffed artichoke was huge, so tender, and super stuffed with seasoned bread crumbs. We got a parm sampler 19.95 for veal, Chicken, and eggplant with a side of pasta. Stuffed rigatoni with meatballs (16.95) calamari, mussels marinara for apps. And because it was all so good...Spinach ravioli and a meatball parm sub (6.95 ) to go. $103 before tip. Easily could have fed a family of five. Cash only, byob, call for res, but it's pretty easy. We called day of and got a nice table at six on a Saturday.”

“Food is so good, and the people tending are so nice. Everything was made fresh for us on the spot, and it was delicious. I hate going to places and for the mofongo or tostones to feel like they have been sitting there premade, so annoying.We had a chicken chimi, a pernil mofongo, cheese empanadas, a morir soñando and another shake. The chimi was perfect, the meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the bread was nice and toasty, and the rest of the fillings were perfect. The mofongo was nice and moist, they also cover it with a nice bechamel sauce and the pernil was deliciously seasoned. Going back to try the reg chimi :)Pescado frito con tostones is very popular, two dif people came in and ordered it while we were sitting there. I'll have to try it too.”

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.

“Great place to go for a late night snack, and good mexican food all around. I frequently get their tostadas as a late night after the bar snack, and it never disappoints. Their quesadillas and tacos are also phenomenal.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

La Pupusa Loca 4709 Bergenline Ave, Union City Salvadoran • $

“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.”

Playa Bowls 1816 Palisade Ave, Union City Health Food • $

“Located close to the Weehawken reservoir in Union City on the Palisade Ave, this outlet is a bit away from the hustle and bustle of the busy union city area close to the Jersey City! The atmosphere is cool with the music setting up vibe for a pleasant dining experience! The servers are friendly too with a warm smile but didn't seem to offer a particular opinion about the recommendations! I went for a goldie mango bowl which had mango at the bottom, topped with granola, bananas, strawberry and Nutella! The mango paste did seem a bit sweet as in terms of extra added sugar which shouldn't be there as they market themselves as a healthy restaurant. The ingredients were definitely fresh and the cost though seemed to be a bit on the higher side given the location! Overall a good experience for me but not sure about returning soon as there could be better options offering the same thing in my neighborhood of Jersey city!”
