I've come twice in the past 7 months, both on Sunday evenings. The waitstaff is extremely friendly, attentive, and the food here is good. Both times my friend and I got frozen strawberry margaritas (the pitcher) and I ordered veggie enchiladas. Today, the most recent time I went, the waiter asked if I wanted to have my rice made veggie-friendly because usually they make it with chicken stock. I think that was extremely considerate and forward-thinking! read more

Love The Red Cadillac... I live in the neighborhood so I have been to Red Cadillac many Times and every single time I was never disappointed with the food, drinks and service. Weekend night can get very loud and crowded but since I don't expect a place to adjust to my taste I just chose to go there during the week and/or for lunch instead. My FAVORITE is the steak Burro and Fajitas always fresh and delicious. Cannot go wrong with a well crafted jalapeño margarita!!! Service is good as well. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday party with a large group. We ended up ordering all kinds of appetizers which came out throughout the evening. All were quite good and the service was great. The manager came over and bought us all several rounds which was a nice touch. Would like to come back for dinner as the menu looked very appealing. read more

Consistenly good for quality Tex Mex, this taco and tequila joint aims to please. We dined with friends early on a Friday night and sat at a four top in the bar area. The live music is always enjoyable and the food and service quite good. We sipped on the kafe infused tequila and munched on the homemade tortilla chips and guacamole. The chips are superb...not too oily and just the right crunch consistency. The extra spicy (upon request) pork and chicken fajitas were yummy. And you will not go hungry as the portions are gigantic. Great value for a fun casual night out. And the valet guys are great...speedy and super polite. If I had one complaint it is that the menu is really more Tex Mex than authentic Mexican. It might be nice to have a few higher end entree options, some mole, some Mexican style side dishes etc. But what they do here is just tasty and consistent so it is definitely one of the best options around if you're craving some "tequila and tacos". read more

Had a great dinner here on a Friday night. Place was packed by 8pm but still received great seevice from Kelly. The chips and salsa were the highlight of the night but fish tacos and enchiladas were equally delicious! Tip - ask for spicy!! read more

First time there and absolutely amazing! Food was super flavorful and delicious! Me & my husband got the soup special and the chicken flautas to start. Both excellent! For entrees fish and pork tacos... best tacos we've ever had! Drinks were also exceptional. To top it off, Amanda our waitress was excellent! Attentive, knowledgeable, and very sweet!! Try their white chocolate infused tequilla shots after dinner... amazing! Went down super smooth!! Will definately be coming back!!!!!! read more

I love this place. The live music is refreshing to have in our town. When they first opened the food was inedible, but they stepped it all the way up. The food is delicious and seasoned just right. My only complaint is them not allowing hats, which I understand they want to maintain a certain dignity which has worked. It has a New York vibe that takes you away from the small town pub feel. I meet my good friends here often for margaritas which are also great. read more

Awesome place! Went for the first time last night & thoroughly enjoyed it. Cool interior, great staff, good food & tasty drinks. A whole lotta space so it's real good for groups. So bring the noise when you're coming here. Ps get the tow truck. It's $12 of greatness. read more

The Red Cadillac - 2 tow trucks! (I hope that's the name, I was drunk) - Mexican Near Me - Union, New Jersey

Cute atmosphere, a little stuffy though. We sat at FHS the bar. Friendly staff. Food - the nachos were a bit stale and the salsa not that fresh either. I had the "low rider salad" - the tortilla shell bowl was not fresh but the inside of the bowl - grilled chicken & avocado was good, bacon was ok but too much shredded cheese. I didn't care too much for the dressing either. read more

This place was amazing. Went with my siblings and had tons of infused shots. The fish tacos are a must have. You will not go wrong with these. The best I've had in NJ and that's quite a strong statement. The staff were all kind and attentive to are needs. Very friendly establishment. Can't wait to go back for more. read more

Great drinks, great food and family friendly. Brought my whole family here including 2 grandkids. A good time was had by all! The waitstaff are also very friendly! I have not ever been disappointed here! I found the servings generous and the seasoning perfect. Enjoy a nice out with or without kids. Either way, worth the trip. read more

this is our go to Mexican joint the spicy margaritas are to die for and they are strong I love that they serve black beans with their food so much better than refried beans the service is always consistent if you were in the mood for Mexican you must go here their tacos are stuffed and huge portions also you can have unlimited rice and beans with your dinner run here don't go anywhere else read more

1st time here with a friend.. known about the place for years but never got around to coming.. I came on a Saturday around 4pm Ordered the Mango tequila and made it a double.. I like my drinks strong and they made it so! +1 in any mans book. Ordered empanadas, I've had my share from Morris Ave, but these were still very good. But empanadas 3 for $9 is pricey when u can get 3 for $6 at most other local places. Entree is fish tacos, 1st time having fish tacos, fries fish tacos. Real good no regrets, worth the money. For dessert I wasn't go have any, but I'm weak in the knees for a pretty smile and Flan.. so I caved for flan. Flan is always hit or miss for anyone.. but if u get at as much as I do, u can appreciate the nuances in each form of the dish. So overall nice speed service.. I had a corner table where the lights were too red so I couldn't take 1 good IG or Snap picture, but who cares. Nice decor, nice music.. has a bar area if I was ever to come alone. I'd come again with ppl or alone read more

The Red Cadillac - Starter chips n salsa - Mexican Near Me - Union, New Jersey

*3.5 Stars* Great ambiance and look! Dark and red inside. What to expect: Food: We tried the chorizo app which was ok. The cheese was interesting. Main courses were either tacos or fajita's. I had the pork which was good. Wasn't overcooked but it could have used a little more seasoning. My fiance liked her veggie one. Very robust and lots of different veggies. The fish taco's, based on what I was told, were average. Drinks: Sangria was average. I had their margarita and it was so/so. And yes, I still had 2. Service: Good. No complaints. Timely in getting the food. Attentive when we needed refills on water. Prices: Average. Can get pricey when you start taking on pitchers of this and a glass of that. Overall: 3.5 stars. Worth a stop in. Oh and be prepared to have your car valeted. The lot gets full. We went on an off night and it still was valeted. read more

My fav place in Union - by far. Fish tacos are Awesome! I haven't had bad food there yet. It is a nice family spot or a great place to meet friends for drinks. Parking? Thur-Sat I'd say park on the street behind the restaurant and avoid the valet. Finding a spot isn't usually tough unless it's Cinco de Mayo :-) I recommend this spot to friends, family and anyone looking for a good Tex/Mex sit down. I believe this is one of two locations. read more

Sooo after waiting damn near an hour for my food, it was canceled when it was being picked up. Bad business but ok.

I love Red Cadillac. I've eaten here and drank here and happy houred here and celebrated here and even had a break up dinner here and still come back for more. I don't even like tequila that much, but I've found myself taking the road trip many times. I love trying all the infused tequila flavors and introducing other people to this place. The names of everything are clever between the "road trip" and the "tow truck" margarita. The theme is adorable and intelligent. Authentic Cadillac out front for kids to sit in is awesome. Bathroom are clean and have cute mechanic accents. Staff uniforms, car part sculptures, rims on the walls- all contribute to the theme which is fun and tastefully done. The service is always friendly- every time I go I feel like the wait staff and I are old friends or have had nice conversations with the bartender. The food is good. It's simple. All tex mex is pretty much the same but do you want it in taco form, burrito form or enchilada form. That's pretty much how the menu is organized and simpler is better. They also do like family style with rice and beans which is a nice touch. It's a must go! read more

Very, very underwhelming- ordered the nachos and it wasn't good at all. They missed it with the nachos that they are serving. If I return, it's to try anything else on the menu- those nachos were not it. read more

Great place! Everything on the menu is awesome. My favorites are the fajitas (all combos are delicious) and the carnitas tacos. Margaritas there are legendary. Excellent staff. Union's finest. This is Chris Kunz talking. I know something about Tex Mex. Go there and rock on! read more

This place is just average to me. The atmosphere is fun and the infused tequila is delicious ! I love the peanut butter and jelly tequila...sounds odd but if you like peanut butter you will love this. The food is just average. It's a little expensive for what it is but it's usually relatively tasty. The service is consistently slow and if you go on a busy night, be prepared to wait for a table for a long time. It's a fun place to go to with a group of friends but don't expect to be blown away read more

The Red Cadillac has set up a great outdoor dining area due to Covid-19! It was really clean, inviting and comfortable. Food, drinks and service were excellent. Will be going back! read more

The food is great. Everything was a described. The food was ready when we went to pick up. The staff was friendly and professional

The food and drinks are good. Unfortunately I was stopped at the door on a Sunday afternoon because of my hat.. where there were about 5 customers in the building lol why can't a woman wear a hat? I'm sitting at the bar. This isn't an upscale restaurant. I've never heard of this. They need to upgrade their restaurant style if they want to be considered upscale and deny women for wearing a hat. Won't be spending anymore money there! read more

Read reviews about how this restaurant is pricey. But you have to think what is actually not pricey nowadays when it comes to dining out. Anyways to me it was not pricey but did cost more than Jose Tejas. There is valet parking (accepts gratuity only). There is a bar, a seating area to wait & a little area for live music. The complimentary chips & salsa were tasty to me. A lot of the beverages are frozen but they offer beer & sangria. The decor has a California on the road feel. The water is provided out of a gas can which made me chuckle. Staff wears uniforms. The shrimp burrito I had was awesome. Couldn't finish it all because I loaded up on the chips prior. Definitely suggest going to this place if in the area. I'll definitely be back. Staff was attentive, food was tasty, drinks was delicious & music was decent. read more

Overpriced and over hyped. Wife and I have had numerous visits to The Red Cadillac over the years but last night will surely have been our last. We sat at the bar and patiently waited for our appetizers and tacos while drinking some sub par margaritas, for what seemed like forever. The bartender did not seem to care as his only concern was to continually fill up our drinks to drive our bill up. After eating and drinking three margaritas each we received our bill that was about $150. I do not mind paying high prices for good food and good service but this was far from it. To top it off I got sick right after leaving and had to put an early end to our night out. Stay away as there are much better alternatives out there that are just as close to home. If you want to over pay for mediocre food and horrible service go ahead and give this place a shot read more

Was pleasantly surprised by my dining experience here. Would drive past this place on the way to work every morning and wonder what was inside the interesting exterior. The inside is beautifully decorated and feels rather lavish compared to what you would expect from an outside view. The food, drinks, service, and ambiance were all lovely. I tried the chicken enchiladas and the frozen margarita/sangria swirl drink. The food was extremely tasty, and the portion size was large too-- could have brought home leftovers for the next day. The drink was strong but tasty, and I loved the concept and execution (beautiful red/light pink/white swirled drink). They only do Valet parking (free) so it feels odd initially (especially thinking about how you will pull your car out at the end of your dining experience) but things flowed fluidly and naturally. Would definitely recommend this place. Seems like it is a gem in Union. read more

Went to a local favorite last night...Red Cadillac, and as usual we were not disappointed. The drinks are always on point, strong but delicious. The food as always was delicious and flavorful. I decided to write this review bc our server Jollie was simply AMAZING. You can tell she really cares about the customers and the integrity of the business. One of the guest in our party is a Vegetarian. The was only one Vegetarian option on the menu but they were willing to make a special vegetarian burrito that wasn't on menu. When my friend requested the veggies he wanted and rice she made sure to let him know that there is a vegetarian option and even recommended vegetarian beans which also wasn't listed. What made this stand out was noone mentioned that he was vegetarian she paid attention to the way he ordered and made appropriate suggestions. Oh and that cajun grouper tacos was AMAZING! The service and food was 5 star from star to finish!!!!! read more

Now this is an incredible concept for a local eatery, based around a red Cadillac which is cleverly parked neat the entrance. Immediately the first great impression was have a doorman greet us open the door and guide us to the hostess. For a Saturday night the place was packed full worth an hour & a half wait. We are about to give our another visit next weekend, but the eclectic decor, great sounding live band and friendly environment guided us to the bar for a margarita. Time seemed to fly by as we enjoyed selections from the appetizer menu; pork empanadas, tasty nachos, garlic shrimp scampi. All very tasty. The bar staff were the best; never seemed to rush, very friendly and provided great suggestions. We never made it to a table, but had just as great of a time. You must try this local handout! read more

Great place to grab delicious food and drinks with friends. Always great food specials and an awesome drink selection. They have uniquely tasting infused tequilas, but my two favorites are the tow truck (margarita with a Mexican beer) and the blue sangria (tastes like candy!). The food isn't half bad either the regular sides like the rice and beans are ehh okay, but the roasted corn is great. Mostly everything I've eaten has tasted great. Only downfall is that it's a small space. Can be up to a 2 hour wait & you can only create reservations for groups of 5 or more. read more

A fun place to go on a Friday evening. Be prepared to wait and have a drink at the bar. This restaurant is quite the hotspot in Union, New Jersey. The waitstaff is efficient, friendly and on point with service. Like many Mexican restaurants, you will get unlimited chips when you sit down. They make a great margarita and the food is very good. I ate here last night ordered a couple appetizers to share. The garlic shrimp was very good as was the pork tacos. I live local and will be back. read more

My girlfriend has been wanting to try this place for quite some time, especially since some of our friends and my sister have gone multiple times and really loved it. We finally made it last Wednesday around 6pm. The parking lot looked to be pretty full, but there wasn't a lot of hustle and bustle inside yet. After being seated, we were brought their chips and salsa to much on as we looked over the menu. Definite nods to the chips and salsa. Our server then explained the menu to us and suggested the Cadillac Chrome Margarita, which is made of Fresh House Citrus, 1800 Chrome Tequila & Gran Gala. It also came with a test tube vial of Gran Gala (an orange liqueur) that was put into your drink so as you drank your margarita, you could add more alcohol if you'd like. Anyways, we had it frozen and it was pretty good. The tequila flavor didn't completely overtake the flavors, which was nice. While this drink didn't taste too strong, I must not have eaten enough prior to dinner, as I was in a definite tequila haze after consuming only half of it. I also had a small stomach ache. For our food, we shared the Clam Bucket (Littleneck clams steamed in a cilantro broth) which was really, really good. The clams were tender, juicy, flavorful and perfectly steamed. The broth was equally as good and they gave you a nice chunk of bread to dip the broth with. For our entree, we shared the Lobster Fajitas. While these were good, they were rather standard and didn't do much to separate themselves from other fajitas that are served elsewhere. In addition, the five lobster tails that are served as part of this dish are very small. You're also only given three tortillas. For $27, I felt this dish was very overpriced, especially for the quantity of lobster. All in all, I'm not much of a tequila person but the margarita was a pleasant surprise. The steamed clams were excellent and the Lobster Fajitas were standard, but a bad value. Perhaps I'd be more inclined to give it four stars if I hadn't had the Lobster Fajitas? read more

I had the beef tacos very good, lots of beef. Rice and beans were very tasty. i love guacamole but my bf doesn't and ordering it as a app is to much for 1 person so I asked for a small side of guacamole for the complementary chips and they were great about. Most places will give you a hard time. My bf had the pulled pork tacos (special) he said it was very good but taste more like a sandwich. read more
