My all-time favorite neighborhood restaurant. Grew up eating here, the food and service is always top notch. El Unico has catered countless events for family and friends with the most generous servings at an affordable price, if you know you know!

I have been coming here for years, ive never had a bad experience except for the people on the phone who take orders occasionally forgetting things.However, I have just today experienced one of the most disgusting situations I have ever had.After having brought home, and after eating over half of my Picadillo, my eyes, which are very good, noticed something in my meat. Tiny strands of what I can only assume are cat hairs, holding the meat together.I actually took the time to remove several dozen from the meat, and placed about 6 of them on to one of the black beans so they show up in my photo. There are literally hundreds. in some instances, they hold the meat together, and when you lift the meat, the hairs hold on the side of the fork some of the meat bits like a tiny rope.I can confirm they are not strands of meat, or sinew. They are hairs. Tiny, clear, hairs....I am a town employee and will be saving this meal for inspection when I have my office contact the health department.I will also be ordering another, Untouched meal for inspection within the restaurant.

The food is good and good price. Delivery service is not good, at times. Delivery man announced he would not bring the food to apt (one flight of stairs) and demanded that payment be ready immediately upon his arrival.

Amazing spot. 1) One of the few places in NY/NJ where you can get a large plate of chicken with rice for just 5 dollars. 2) They have other options, which I will try next. 3) Also, the restaurant is next to Planet Fitness and Tower Plaza.

The food was great but the server made believe there was no change to take an extra tip and then when I waited for the change she shamed me into giving her a $10 tip for an $18 meal. So I'll never go eat there again but the food was good.
