El Artesano Restaurant
“I ordered a media noche to go (similar to a cuban sandwich but on sweet cuban bread) and a materva soda.”
“The croquetas are meaty and delcious and the ropa vieja, caldo gallego, masitas de puerco and bistec de palomilla are all fantastic.”
“The appetizers starting with their savory home made Croquetas,Papa Rellenas,Empanadas are incredibly tasty.”

This place is small and very simple, but the food is very good. The croquettas are so good that even my abuela would approve. The churros are also very good and I always liked that there's a quick service window to grab some and a cafecito in case you are having a churro emergency. (Yes, that's a thing) also delicious are the batidos (shakes) – especially the mamey. If you are looking for fancy this is not the place. But if you are looking for good old fashioned Cuban food…you can't go wrong here. They have been around for a long time in a place with pretty stiff competition and I hope they continue to be!
The food is super cheap and just really well made. I love it. The coffee is excellent. You get a mug of warmed milk and you get to pour the coffee right into it. Yummy! I got the Breakfast Special: Two eggs, Spanish sausage, amazing toast, and home fries. The special comes with orange juice (don't get too excited it is more like Sunny D than real orange juice) and coffee. For only $4.95!! You can also get some other real juice smooties! So good!
Simple but jammed packed with Cuban flavors. If you're looking for authentic Cuban flavors late at night than look no further then Artesano Restaurant in Union City. Cheap prices but first class service in both the waiters and food preparations. Enjoy a Cuban or a Medianoche. Wash it down with a batido de trigo. And finish with delicious Churros. Yums!!!!
I've seriously lost count on how many times I've enjoyed breakfast here. It's a great value and the food (and quantity) is excellent. Lunch is also great here!
I'm kind of glad I waited to review this restaurant. I must have been here dozen and dozens of times. At one point they were slacking off big time in the food. ..it just wasn't the same good quality. But I came here about a week ago and I was like wow ok this is what I'm talking about, yums!
I ordered a media noche to go (similar to a cuban sandwich but on sweet cuban bread) and a materva soda. The sandwich was insanely good. Even though it was late at night , it was fresh. .bread was super soft with the perfect crunch from the press. They expanded the restaurant too, added a whole new side. Now that I know the food has gotten better, I'm definitely going back!
Good for family dinners, table seating or stool seating by the counter. Street parking and metered parking lot behind the restaurant. Open until really late, that is a perk for me!
I liked the vibe here, authentic feel and friendly service. Spacious. The food wasn't all that great – tried the chicken & cheese empanadas/rice&beans/platanos – somewhat bland. They also ran out of Presidente. I'd give it another chance though.
I came here craving a "media noche" Cuban sandwich made with pork and ham, pickles, mustard and white cheese. Usually the bread is like a brioche and they grilled with butter until everything inside heats and the cheese melts completely.
Well… It left me keep craving it because it was cold in the middle and the roll did not have the distinct buttery flavor. I quickly forgave them when when they brought me the succulent pig!! It was an explosion of flavor, tender , perfectly seasoned, juicy and just melted in your mouth with all those amazing flavors that comes with a slow well cooked succulent pig! The arroz Moros(rice mixed with black beans) and the maduros (roasted plantains) were the perfect accompaniment for this along with the batido de Mamey( a smoothie made with a semi sweet fruit very common in Latin America) this is a real smoothie!!
Hello Felix, I walked quite bit around Union city and used Yelp pictures and reviews to make a decision. So the answer is yes, I did use Yelp to find you.
Food was good. palomilla steak, maduros but, my absolute favorite was the cafe con leche. Amazing. Brown crack.
