Hidden Jewels of Union City! There aren't a whole bunch of Dominican Restaurants in Union City, this one is my favorite. The service is very pleasant even if just ordering a Cafe con Leche. Prices are super reasonable. (You can pay with card 7-10 or more; I forget the exact amount). Buffet is good but obviously for any buffet you don't want to eat it just hours before closing. (Note: I think many things ordered off the Main Menu are taken from the buffet area. Breakfast is filling, delicious and reasonably priced and although Breakfast is supposedly only served until 11, I've ordered Breakfast also between 2pm-4pm without trouble. You can order for catering here as well. In all, I Totally Recommend to come here to have a coffee or eat!

Food here is delicious! Very affordable buffet option, only 10 and you can get up twice to fill up your plate. The only problem with this place is that the place is a bit small so if you come with a big group you will have to hope that you are the only big group in the restaurant because it will get cramped in there.
