Spanish Restaurants near Union City, NJ

“"This Cuban food restaurant offers excellent value for money. The staff is friendly and attentive. However, a small limitation is that they do not accept card payments, which may be inconvenient for some customers. Overall, the experience is wonderful, but due to this limitation, I give it 4 stars."⭐️“

“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.“

“Hermoso lugar. Visitando de Florida Bizcochos frescos. Yerba Canaria 🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐“

“This place is great! I prefer to come here than noches de Colombia. There prices are far better and you can order a baby churrasco with rice and beans and yucca for 12$ so yes visit. The big churrasco for two is 24$ a steal! They also have 7$ plates that are comforting and filling. Support your local businesses. Visit these folks good hard working people“

“This restaurant is under new management, and it really shows! Everything about this place has leveled up — the food, the service, and even the vibe.

The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with love. Their chimis are my absolute favorite — juicy, perfectly seasoned, and they even ask if you want your cabbage cooked or raw (which I love because not many places do that!).

Their empanadas are amazing too — they have both Dominican and Colombian ones, and honestly, I can’t even pick a favorite because they’re both so good. And that homemade green sauce? So damn good, I could put it on everything!

The ambiance is really nice — they play Spanish music that makes you feel right at home, and the service is excellent. The kind lady in the front is always so friendly and welcoming, and I even got a complimentary homemade dessert one day, which was such a sweet touch!

Their natural juices are fresh and delicious, and even the food on the steam table never disappoints.

If you’re in Union City definitely check them out — the new management is doing an amazing job. Great food, great music, and great people!“

“I want to acknowledge their dedication to good service. They master every recipe. They handle every request. They set every price fairly. This restaurant provides superior attention. You'll find delicious dishes, reasonable costs and helpful employees here. Future trips nearby will include this restaurant.“

“The food is pretty good. I ordered the tres golpes. I asked for the eggs to be scrambled and they charged me extra, I thought that was greedy of them. I have a raw egg allergy, so I can’t eat eggs unless they are fully cooked. The mangu didn’t taste that fresh. Overall it wasn’t bad but wasn’t great.“

“I want to express the bad attention of the maintainer who asked me for a water with lemon and he was charging me for it. I stopped that in no restaurant can they charge you for a water with lemon and it was very difficult to resolve the matter. The man at the demonstration is Melza, shaking a lemon.“

“Your bill will be higher here but the experience makes it fair. The menu won't break the bank and tastes good. The kitchen maintains high standards. Service quality equals their excellent menu offerings. This spot warrants your immediate attention.“

“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

“If you are visiting NYC and need a reservation for amazing cocktails and fare, please visit Enoteca Harlem. Outstanding vibe, amazing food and drinks. You won't be disappointed. ❤️

We were there last night 12/16/25 and I had literally the best gin based Martini I have ever tasted. The bartender was highly skilled, personable and engaging. The appetizers were fantastic.

We'll definitely be back!“

“Went here for Saturday brunch.
Not so busy unlike diner cross the street. Few outdoor table as well. Bars in front. Seated indoor right behind high table.

Super tapas. Sangria and cerveza to pair. Jamon triangle, my wife not as keen on Manchester, I didn't mind.
Brunch has sunny-side egg, chorizo, and potato generous portion. Ordered extra pan along. We liked pan con tomato with much generous layer of tomatoes better than Nacional or Little Spain at Hudson Yards. Rice with squid in black ink most exquisite. Not so salty, perfect. Finished with postre a la mode. Nice coffee.

Next time looking forward to order jamon y queso, croqueta and flan, pair with oloroso.“

“I still rave about the garlic shrimp, pallella and sangria even in Nashville!“

“Mauricio, From the moment we sat down, he was all smiles—happy, upbeat, and full of energy that made our whole table feel welcome. He wasn’t just friendly; he was genuinely fun, cracking jokes, keeping the mood light, and making sure everyone (especially the kids!) felt special.

He knew the menu inside and out and gave amazing recommendations—especially for the appetizers. You could tell he really cared about making sure we enjoyed the best of what the place had to offer.

It’s rare to find someone who’s not just doing their job but clearly loves it. Our meal was great, but the service truly made it memorable. If you get the chance, ask for him—you’ll be glad you did!“

“Excelente. Comida rica y bebidas 🍷 buenas.“

“My 3rd visit...we went early Tuesday evening...4pm rezzy, so can't weigh in on the ambiance because it was very quiet... but everything we ordered ( 10 different plates ) was excellent... very authentic feel and the happy hour pricing was a pleasant surprise... definitely looking forward to going back“

“The best paella valenciana in queens…“

“white sangria paella marinera, Zarzuela, chicken with almond and Octopus a la gallega. Delicious 😋 😋“

“Excellent food and presented well…, a value here!“

“The food here makes me want to come back tomorrow. Their food quality is noteworthy. Exceptionally hospitable adaptable bright friendly team showing zero pretension. You know immediately they use good ingredients. I'll make it a point to eat here again.“

“Love the intimate vibe, discerning wine list and decor. Food was interesting. We live in the neighborhood and I had the reservation for a couple of weeks. We were kept waiting 20 minutes past our reservation... standing in the very small bar. When finally seated not a soul made mention of the inconvenience. That alone shows total lack of interest in your clientele. We won't go back.“

“I went to El Pingüino about two weeks ago and absolutely loved that they offer happy hour seven days a week and it’s becoming a routine for us!
The hours are 4–7 PM, plus a late-night happy hour from 10 PM to midnight.

Their seafood happy hour is pretty simple they only offer one type of oyster but it was super fresh and delicious. Clean, lightly briny, and perfect with just a squeeze of lemon.

And they have really great basque cheesecake!

The overall vibe is relaxed and easygoing, making it a great spot to unwind after work or grab a late-night drink.

If you’re in Greenpoint and love oysters, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

“Tried this place once before as a random stop. It’s a hidden gem. I’m so glad they are still open and with the same amazing bartender. I had the Pepitni so refreshing. And the Hibiscus Margarita is a great option it takes them a while prior day to make the hibiscus juice they use.“

“The staff is always friendly and will make your dinning experience special.“

“Good music. Delicious appetizers. The paella valenciana for 2 was great! Will be returning.“

“I’ve had dinner here the past two birthdays and I’ve enjoyed the food immensely both times. I love that you get two distinct dining choices here that you can mix and match. The skirt steak especially was delicious with the pork bun being a favorite appetizer of mine. I’ve enjoyed this place every time I’ve come here and I strongly recommend it.“
