Fantastic food and an amazing staff—always the best experience! Even though we’re in South Jersey, if we can’t track down the food truck, we make our way to Union to satisfy our cravings.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The prices are great, and the service is both fast and friendly. Despite being busy with online pickup orders, they managed to keep things running smoothly. There are plenty of delicious options, both sweet and savory. I tried the carne frita with arroz gandules, which came in a generous, sturdy container—I definitely had enough for leftovers! Keep in mind there's a $10 minimum for credit card payments along with a 3.5% processing fee. They also have a convenient online ordering system. The decor is charming, with lovely artwork adorning the walls.

This is a fantastic authentic Puerto Rican restaurant! I absolutely love the “arroz con gandules” with “pernil,” and the “mofongo” tastes just like my grandmother's from the island. The “Jibarito Sandwich,” featuring roasted pork, lettuce, tomato, and cheese between two fried plantain buns, is simply delicious! I highly recommend the “alcapurria de Yuca”—it tastes just like the ones you’d find in Piñones, but even better! Don’t forget to try the “pasteles de guineo” and make sure to save room for dessert! The “flancocho” is my absolute favorite!
