This is my second time here but first review. We went to celebrate my daughter getting into the nursing program. We were seated quickly. I had the chicken enchiladas. They were wonderful and tasteful. I haven't enchiladas like that in a long time. I had churros for dessert. Loved that they gave a bowl of chocolate with them as an option to dip. The decor is spectacular. From pictures of musicians on the wall and the waiting area has two benches one with musician mug shot and the other with the last supper with musicians who passed on. read more

Skip it. Pretty bad all around. Even the background music, -one would expect salsa music in a Mexican cantina but it was just old musty top 4o songs. Just skip this place. Its also overpriced. read more

Amazing spot! The margaritas are on point , the tacos are flavorful, and the vibe is so fun and lively. The menu is playful and creative, making it a joy to explore every option. Perfect place to hang out with friends, enjoy great drinks, and just have a fantastic time. Highly recommend! read more

Chef / Owner Joe and his staff were amazing this past Saturday. This is our 2nd graduation party at the Red Cadillac and it won't be our last. The food was spectacular (everyone from our 25 + person party complimented the various dishes that came out from the Chips/Guac, to the Shrimp in Garlic sauce to the various tacos; Strawberry Jalapeno simply off the charts amazing), but the service may have even been better. We never waited more than a minute or so for requests, drinks etc. and the staff was so pleasant throughout our party. And Joe came out several times to chat and ensure that everything was going smoothly with the service, food, drinks etc. Could not recommend them more for a celebration! read more

The food is amazing always fresh service is always top-tier and the ambience of the low lighting is top-tier. I love this place. I would recommend it to anyone! read more

Great vibe inside! I got a strawberry marg and my friend got a sangrita. Love the drinks here - they're soooo strong (in a good way ;)). Guac was chunky and super yummy. I also love a good chunky guac with onions and tomato. The chips were delicious! They were different than the chips they first put on the table with salsa and were way better. The baked chips were delicious. For entrees, I went with two other people and we split two order of the tacos and a chicken enchilada. The two people I went with had been to red cadillac and took me just for these strawberry jalapeño tacos because they knew I'd love. They were AMAZING. Such unique flavor with the strawberry and chicken with breaded and cooked so well. Definitely would get again. We all agreed we'd pass on the enchiladas next time, didn't have a ton of flavor. Service was fine. Def will be back for a pitcher of margs! read more

We love this place! The food is wonderful, the live music was great, and the service was excellent .

The Ambiance is cozy , and music is a nice addition to the atmosphere of the restaurant. The service was excellent, the staff was always checking on us and routinely to make sure everything was ok. On to the food : we ordered Abuela's empanadas. it was good ; They were nice and flakey and the dip it came with really elevated the taste for us . Pulled pork mac n cheese : the pork was juicy and melted in your mouth and I think it was a lot better than the Mac n cheese itself . The Mac was fine but the star here was the pulled pork for sure . Beef tacos : I thought they were good , flavorful and the meet was juicy. I dunno if it was just me but the tacos had a slight heat to them that made it even better Fried ice cream: I've had fried ice cream all the time, but never at a Mexican restaurant. This was the only dish that we thought they dropped the ball on . The breading was really hard to scoop into. That combined with the basic vanilla ice cream; we really weren't feeling it Overall, The Red Cadillac was a good place but we thought it was going to be better . It wasn't at all bad . Just had higher hopes if that makes sense read more

Awesome experience with a group of friends. Their special chicken cheesesteak tacos are fire. and live music

Horrible food! Nothing about this place is authentic. For starters the guac tastes like nothing the order of faulted literally burnt to ashes and the shrimp tacos were ok at most. Had a strawberry lemonade which taste like straight mixers. 1 and done. Will never be back. read more

The Red Cadillac - Chicken Flautas - Mexican Near Me - Union, New Jersey

We were a group of 5 and ordered enough on the menu to sample the food. Overall we all agreed that the food is more Tex Mex than authentic but all of it was tasty. The drinks were good, the customer service was excellent and the music was a nice touch to enjoy the food and conversation. Parking could be an issue as the lot is small behind the restaurant. Valet parking is available on busy nights or park across the street in the bank parking lot when the bank is closed. Would we return? The answer is yes. read more

Went on a busy Friday night and sat at the bar with wifey. They have Dosequis on tap and about a dozen other beers by the bottle. My wife ordered a margarita I had a beer. We ordered shrimp tempura tacos and pork empanadas. Both were delicious! I had an almost too sweet pineapple infused tequila later on. Service at the bar was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere was very nice read more

The Red Cadillac - Shrimp tempura tacos! - Mexican Near Me - Union, New Jersey

This wasn't a close place for me to get to. To be honest I didn't really want to go. So here is my reaction WoW flavor !!!! They said it was like a Mexican restaurant and it has me questioning what I've been eating in the past. Outrageous. Service was above expectations for such a hole in the wall out of the way location (well at least for me). I can honestly say the entire party I was with was treated like family. The Cadillac decor would make a Cadillac dealership proud. Car parts and hubcaps everywhere. The full service bar is huge but secluded and out of the way for your dining pleasure. Highly recommended just leave your 2A in your car read more

I have driven by this place so many times, and honestly I noticed a cool Cadillac in front but didn't think anything of it. So when I was invited to stop by I definitely had to go in! I was blown away, the decor is so cool complete with steering wheel and hubcaps on the wall , The most beautiful amazing chandeliers you have ever seen and a full bar with neon signs everywhere great for photo ops! The food is even more fantastic, authentic scratch made Mexican dishes that you can tell have been made by the chef with love! I started with the strawberry margarita on the rocks, strong and delicious and also some chicken quesadillas which were hot and cheesy. I then had the garlic shrimp, which I've eaten hundreds of times and this is by far the best I've ever tasted. I had the fish tacos and the strawberry glaze jalapeño chicken tacos, both blew me away. I also had a chance to sample the tequila that they make in house. You can grab a bottle on the liquor store shelf, Cadillac tequila. And if you're in the union area I recommend you stop by! read more

The Red Cadillac - Cadillac tequila! - Mexican Near Me - Union, New Jersey

Such a great spot if you're looking for mexican food and a night out with friends. Menu isn't large but still many great options. Can get pretty crowded, especially on the weekends, so make sure to go early. They home make their flavored tequilas which is nice if you want to switch it up from classics. Some of my favorites were the guacamole, fish tacos and empanadas. Definitely will be back to try out more! read more

The food was PHENOMENAL and the ambiance/music was fantastic. I genuinely can't wait to come back. Service 5 stars as well.

Had an amazing meal at The Red Cadillac! The Margartias were very strong and the food was absolutely delicious! We went on a great week because they had Big Mac Tacos as their special... SO GOOD! I also really loved the shrimp, tempora tacos, they were so tasty! The Chicken Flautas came with a cheese sauce at the bottom that I could NOT get enough of! Jolie and the staff checked in on us frequently to make sure we were ok and to see if we needed refills or anything else! Definitely a great spot in Union that is worth checking out! read more

Great food and margaritas! Awesome tacos and fresh guac. Friendly staff and quick service. Cool ambiance especially at night in the bar area. Often has good musicians some weekends. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent food, (always fresh) and creative specials keep me returning to Red Cadillac. The po boy shrimp tacos which were last weeks special were perfect. I've been a long time fan of the Montes family restaurants over many years and appreciate the warm, friendly ambiance they have always offered. So happy to see Jolie continue the tradition! read more

If you're looking for a great spot to go to that serves incredible food, top notch alcohol and has a kick a$$ ambiance, this is the place for you. The vibe and atmosphere of the place capture you as soon as you walk in. The staff is always welcoming and pleasant, and they share the work together, so the teamwork is on point, AND you're never waiting an excessive amount of time for a server to appear in case you need anything. They make their own tequila, and it is some of the best I've tried. They have 6 flavors on the menu - pinapple, peach, mango, jalapeño, coconut and pb&j - and every single one of them is great quality and goes down smooth (including the pb&j)! In addition to having a regular menu that caters to those who like to have their go-to foods, they have daily specials that cater to those like who love to try new things. Of the many things I have tried here, I have never received an item that wasn't fresh and full of flavor; food has always exceeded my expectations so that I look forward to my leftovers. Overall, my personal feelings aside, this place is one that you should experience at least once. Regardless the occasion, birthday, date night, girls night out, work gathering, etc, they know how to cater to your needs and make it a memorable time. read more

You know, it's one thing to be impressive for night. It's another thing to be impressive for a few months. But to be impressive for 13 years? THAT takes greatness. And greatness is exactly what you'll get from Joe Montes and the Red Cadillac crew every time you visit. Speaking of the Red Cadillac Crew... I have been to a LOT of restaurants in my life, some with great service, some with horrible service. But until The Red Cadillac, I didn't know what TRUE service was. read more

First time back in a while but finally made the worth while trip and visit. A few changes inside that are very noticeable. More seats; upgraded decor; new brand of Tequila - Red Cadillac Brand. The menu is smaller but the food is as good as always. I still recommend the fish tacos. 3 large tacos never disappoint. Non stop chips that are always fresh. And the margaritas are still the best. There were 4 of us so of course we did a pitcher (or 2). They've bottled their famous mango tequila so you have to get a few shots. Not too sweet and really smooth. They sell it by the bottle now! They don't take reservations (never have) so be prepared to have a drink at the bar first although during this visit it was not very crowded. And of course, it wouldn't be RC if you didn't see the owners walking around. Glad to be back. read more

Food is great. Overall experience is great. But they have this off the menu ultra hot sauce for their fajitas. This smell was so strong that the entire room started coughing like mustard gas was released. Was actually concerning because people started running out of the room. Children started crying. They should not serve that meal. read more

Place has awesome chicken enchiladas. Churros were also great but had a little too much sugar. Love the hot sauce and spicy chicken fajitas. Mango shots were amazing ! Service is excellent servers had amazing attitude. Pork tacos as well as the spicy chicken fajitas were awesome. read more

5/2/20 Came here for dinner. Was craving tacos and after searching near by restaurants, I realized it was an interesting find. Upon pulling up, you notice a red Cadillac in the front of the store and the restaurant is setup like a drive thru, where there's a ringing cord you drive over. There were many cars coming, it was a hot spot for sure! It didn't take long to get my food. The cashiers were friendly and accommodating. I ordered fish tacos, Mexican street corn, chips and salsa and guacamole. Unfortunately, thanks to crazy drivers slamming on their brakes, my guacamole container got lost under my seat when I hit the brakes and I didn't find it until the next day. When I went to have my meal, at first, I was frustrated bc I was missing the guacamole, only to find it in the morning. Regardless, the food was so good and I would most definitely return here again if and when in the area. read more

Had a great meal here over the weekend. We ordered the guacamole and chips, Chicken Taquitos, Chicken Fajitas, Mexican Street Corn off the cob, and the Chrome Margarita. All were soooo good! The ambiance inside is very nice, from the outside you wouldn't expect it. Service was a bit interesting in that we didn't have a dedicated server, we were told everyone works together. The only thing that was a turn off to me is that we had to do valet parking. read more

This place has an amazing ambiance and delicious food! There was a bit of a wait when we came in on a Friday around 8 pm but they have a cute little lounge where you can order drinks and food. There happened to be live music when we were there too which was so fun! They give you free chips and salsa and we ordered a frozen strawberry margarita pitcher which was soo good. We had the pork empanadas, chicken quesadilla, and chicken fajita. We absolutely loved all of the food! They also have valet parking. read more

The ambiance is nice. There was live music when we went this past Saturday. The drinks are ehhh.. I would expect better honestly considering it's a tequila bar. The food is good, came out quickly and the service was excellent. We will be back again one day! read more

Great vibes with thoughtful design to amplify the rock n roll red Cadillac theme. We were seated promptly and given some extra love as first timers. We started with fresh guac and chips. Only recommendation would be table side prep! This served with flour tortillas which was lovely touch and nice departure from the complimentary corn tortillas and salsa which were also fresh and warm! For entrees I went with the shrimp and chicken fajitas. My husband had the fish tacos and my son went off script with the soft shell tacos. Everything was very good except the soft shell crab tacos. We could be biased as we spent a few years in Maryland where it doesn't get any fresher for crabs. Highly recommend a visit. read more

This spot has always been a favorite of mine. Coming back visiting here with my girlfriend I wanted her to experience the Red Cadillac food! We got seated quickly on Father's Day and served right away. The waitress was polite and got our orders in. The smoky salsa is always amazing and super tasty. We ordered the Mexican street corn and it was a hit! I ordered the coconut grouper tacos and all I can say was they were absolutely amazing. The crispy coconut on the fish and the absolutely delicious pico on top was absolutely amazing. They were cooked perfectly. My girlfriend had the shrimp tacos and she loved them as well! The sangria was a hit and super amazing. Definitely don't miss this spot! read more
