    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.

    Hey Foodies, If…read moreyou're ever in the Times Square area and looking for some great Caribbean food and vibes.. this place has exactly that. They check off all the boxes. Friendly welcoming smiles as soon as you walk in, clean, great music, tasty drinks, and the food?! ..A1! No misses! I will definitely be coming back to dine again. To the owners.. whoever you are, you did your thing w. this restaurant! Fellow Foodies, you won't be disappointed if you give this place a try.

We went on Sunday at about 5:30/45 and the host said there was a wait as he was waiting for parties with reservations. So we found a reservation on open table for 6pm. Still, we waited about an hour to be seated. There shouldn't have been open reservations without table availability. The host was super nice so no blame to him but still, this was a miss for the restaurant. Others left due to the wait time. I ordered the stew chicken, my friend had the curry chicken and my sister the oxtail. They enjoyed their meals, but my chicken was overcooked and chewy. The flavor was great, however. The cabbage and rice and peas were just ok. I had the mango mojito mocktail. That was tasty and was a good amount. Lastly, we ordered the bread pudding. When we saw it, it didn't look like traditional bread pudding nor did it look very appetizing. The taste was worse than the look. It tasted like it was downed in alcohol and was hard. I couldn't eat the bite I took. We sent this back, unfortunately. So, there were good and not so good parts of my experience here.

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.

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.
