The Red Cadillac

Came to The Red Cadillac for the first time on 2/6/19. The parking lot was crowded and took us 8 minutes to wait for someone to leave. We were promptly greeted at the door but the hostess requested we waited until our third guest arrived. All the wait staff we encountered were friendly and courteous. Our waters were filled and our appetizer order placed and received promptly.

The empanadas ($9) were some of the best I’ve ever eaten. The guacamole was clever in plating but offered little uniqueness in flavor and seemed over priced for the portion size ($12). We ordered the beef tacos on flour tortillas ($13), chicken enchiladas ($15), and the beef burrito ($16). Overall the flavors were developed and savory but not tasty enough to hurry back.

The decor alone would be a reason to return. Cleverly designed and kept in theme with the name Red Cadillac. From the photos on the wall to the pennies on the floor in the restroom each space is thoughtfully crafted.

Love this place! I had the spicy beef fajita and my friend had the spicy shrimp fajita. Spicy but flavorful you can taste the different ingredients.
The ambiance is great from the red Cadillac outside, the Cadillac grill at the bar to serving you water from a gasoline container. It's great for a girls night or date night. If the conversation stalls just comment on the decor.
Cant wait to go back.

I love this place. Every time I’m in Union I go there for lunch. The fish tacos are fantastic and the service is always top notch. A must stop in and try.
Everything is fresh and delicious. Can’t wait to come back again.

THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN NORTH JERSEY!!!
The food is awesome, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is truly unique. From the chandelier made from auto parts, to the flower pots with mufflers and a menu that is top notch you won't find another dining experience like it. The staff is friendly and dedicated to making your time there worth every cent. The food cannot be better. With regular Mexican fare to specials that are offered, you'll get plenty of food to enjoy. Not to mention the home made chips and salsa, which are amazing, and come out as you're seated (they're complimentary). The warm chips are great, and the salsa is amazing. I get it's just chips and salsa, but once you eat it, you'll get why the word amazing doesn't do it justice...
They also offer different tequilas, which you're offered to try at the end of the meal. They have specials daily, and there are plenty to choose from. If you tweet, or post about your experience, you'll also get a free Red Cadillac tee shirt. It's a wonderful place that I've eaten at, and made sure to bring friends to because of how great an experience it offers. It's one of Jerseys hidden gems, and you will certainly return once you've tried it.
There aren't enough adjectives to describe how great a place it is. Go, eat, and enjoy.
