Vicentino Salvadoreño - Union City

I can only comment on the pupusas, but I must say they're the best in the area. They have just the right amount of cheese without being overly greasy. I haven't visited the restaurant yet, so I can't speak to the service.

When I arrived, I saw some patrons enjoying their Sunday afternoon. The broth for each soup was excellent, with the broth from the mondongo being the standout. The meat in the sopa de rez was fantastic—short ribs cooked until they were incredibly tender. I think I’ll go for the sopa de rez on my next visit. The hot sauce that came with it was both flavorful and quite spicy, which I enjoy. The meat in the mondongo, however, was a bit tough. The best mondongo I’ve had was in Ecuador, where the meat melted in your mouth. They do accept credit cards, and I'll definitely be back! It’s a great place!

This place is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious, always served hot straight from the stovetop. The pupusas are incredible, and I can't get enough of their sopa de res and corn elotes—they're simply mouthwatering. I order from here frequently because it reminds me of Central America. If you're in the area, definitely try their food; you won't regret it. Their delivery is prompt, and the delivery person is really friendly and kind.

If you’re like me and love Baleadas (a flour tortilla filled with eggs, sour cream, beans, cheese and meat than this is a good spot to explore. The Baleadas are a decent size and the price is really good (3.50$ , they will fill you up and the taster is great!! I also ordered 2 pupusas (thick tortilla filled with your choice of cheese, pork, beans and cheese they tasted average and didn’t really stand out to me. But like I said for the price, you can’t really beat this spot. My total came to 11.25$ and I ended up taking one of the pupusas home because I was stuffed. As far as customer service, I chose to sit at the bar for faster service. They were sort of busy so I didn’t get approached, I had to ask someone to please take my order. I took a bit away from the experience but I understand because I have served tables before and I know how crazy it can get. When paying, the have a minimum of 10$ for credit/debit cards. Over all my experience here was good! If you’re in the neighborhood and in the mood for a hearty meal give this place a try, you might really like it.

Six of us out doing field work from Manhattan found this spot along Bergenline Avenue. What a treat! The best food I've ever had? Maybe not, but really quite delicious nonetheless!The staff were very patient and accommodating even though they spoke very little english, and only one of our group spoke spanish. I tried my hand at a few phrases and probably destroyed the language, but our server took pity on me.I had scrambled eggs with onion and tomato, a side of refried beans, sweet plantains, sour creama, and a little block of queso fresco. I squeezed some lime and spicy relish on my eggs and altogether the food was delicious, if not a bit heavy. The steaks and chicken ordered by my colleagues smelled delicious and looked thin, tender, and just a bit caramelized.Muchos Gracias!
