    Tres Golpes, Mangu Breakfast
    Jennifer S.

    We ordered breakfast from here and the food is amazing. The Dominican fried cheese is yummy!! The only draw back was Uber took awhile to deliver

    Tres golpes con mangu (3 "hits", egg, cheese, salami.  With mashed boiled plantains)
    Lee S.

    Can't believe I never had tres golpes before. It's too damn good. My understanding is the literal meaning is "3 hits", which usually includes egg, salami, and fried cheese, BUT I think it is subject to change or dependent on the place. Then the mangu! My goodness the mangu. Honestly thought I wouldn't like it because it looks and sounds just eh on paper. Boy was I surprised. It tasted like they mashed it with garlic, shallots or something like that. And the red onion on top? Make no mistake, that's not nothing. That's slightly pickled and cuts through the plantain flavor very well. One of the best breakfasts / brunches I ever had in Union City. Definitely recommend, and definitely want to come back.

    Ordered a tres golpes this morning and practically came with no mangu and a tiny egg, after waiting over an hour for the order. Gave no straws for the lemonade. Super disappointed.

    This spot is a little hidden Dominican gem! I have been eating breakfast at Josefa's for years and I absolutely love it. I am truly dedicated to their mangu with the tres golpes (Fried egg, salami and fried cheese). They also have a small buffet with a good variety of food. The prices are reasonable for what you get, and everyone is friendly. I would definitely recommend trying their drinks! My favorite is their morir soñando.

    Can't say this was a pleasant experience. My wife and I had a buffet special and a steak sandwich. They both were i tasteful food. The sandwich was dry, tasteless and cold ( its a hot sandwich on the menu) and it took about 20 min to get to our table. I was planning to get catering here for a part coming up but I'm glad I stopped in first. It was early afternoon, didn't expect this , it wasn't busy.

    We had a late lunch/early dinner. The food was tasty, quickly served and of sufficient quantity…read more The service was excellent and we were able to sit outside for as long as we wanted as the hour wasn't a busy one. Would definitely recommend .

    Being honest, the food here is about three-star-worthy…read more But the prices. The prices are from 2010, and as long as Chango keeps its menu at those prices, I'm going to keep loving them. Christ on a chopstick, I haven't seen an $8 sandwich since I was in grad school (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth)! We started with the Tamal Cubano, which was fantastically delicious, though the accompanying sauce wasn't hot at all. A shame, because it was well-flavored--just needed a lot more capsaicin. My Cubano was very well done, but barely had any pickle in it, which made me sad. I opted to add fries and wasn't sad about the small, thin ones I got (very McDonald's-shaped). However, the Pechuga de Pollo Adobada con Escabeche de Calabaza was a disappointment. The grilled chicken was drastically overcooked, probably because they used really lean breast meat. The accompanying Caribbean pumpkin was interesting, but too small. The other side of rice and beans was perfect, though--great bean texture and lots of savory flavor. With tax and tip included, our meal came out to $33. $33! You can't even get lunch for one person for that price at 90% of Manhattan restaurants south of Central Park. I could've cried with wonder at the bill. Time travel is real guys--at least financially. Just hop into El DeLorean and come to Chango.

    Thank you guys for the very pleasant experience. My daughter and I shared Parillada for Two, which…read morewas inexpensive and yummy. The dish had pork, steak, chicken & shrimp!! It also had yucca fries, rice & beans!! Even typing this I can't believe the deal, lol. The service was great. Our drinks took a while to come out but they recognized this without us saying a word and comped us empanadas for the wait. Love this type of awareness and care for your customers. Matteo was a great & attentive server & last, but not least, the place is super cute. PS - Nice vibe, could have varied the music, but we're Bad Bunny fans, which seemed to be the bulk of the songs. :)

There were three of us and we were sat in a high…read morechair table that only provides enough space for two people, so we were cramped the entire time. The empanada sampler was sooo good, they nailed the flavors for sure. The ropa vieja was not as savory as it typically is at other restaurants. The mojitos and wings were decent. This is a great spot for happy hours and small bites. This place is huge, three floors or something. But only the first floor is used for dining, I believe. The others are rented out for events. Even when not having an event, it's a missed opportunity to not utilize the other floors.
