The Red Cadillac — Restaurant in Union

Been wanting to try this place out since before it even opened. Finally got to go this summer. Major disappointment. I ordered the fish tacos since it appears to be a popular menu item, and a friend got the enchiladas. Fish tasted like microwaveable fish fillets they could have bought at the cvs across the street. That Dry, unmelted shredded cheese that comes in bags- don't expect queso fresco here, I guess. Came with chipotle sauce on the side - that was good. Maybe its just me, but I was disappointed that it came on a flour tortilla. They don't really advertise as authentic mexican food however, so ok, we can let that slide. Overall, it tasted like they defrosted the whole thing, microwaved it, and brought it out. The portions were big but I wouldn't want to finish it anyway.

My friends order was also mediocre but a little more edible. But the film that had formed over the sauce that was already there when we got our food suggests that it had been sitting around for some time... doesn't really affect the taste but it was unappetizing enough for me to notice and I usually wouldn't give a damn about that sort of thing.

Nice decorations, nice waitstaff, can't comment on the drinks, but food seems to suck. I would give it another try, and I would not have written a bad review at all actually, had I not gone home and felt nauseous and thrown up the whole meal about 4 hours later. I haven't thrown up because of food since I was a little kid so I just feel like they have the food at room temp, reheat, room temp etc.

If you want to feel special and have a drink in a place with good vibes, friendly people, and (unnecessary) valet parking in the back... go ahead. But if you've had home cooked Mexican food before, hell, home cooked ANYTHING before, spare yourself the 15 bucks or you'll be...

Wow. I’ve had some decent meals here but tonight I was surprised and shocked actually from the moment we walked in. Kids and dads out for a nice meal. It’s freezing outside. The moment we open the door there is a man standing there, a sort of “hat” bouncer who accosted my friend by saying firmly, “you have to takeoff your hat.” My friend said excuse me? And then the man repeated you need to take off your hat. No hello first. No welcome. My friend was a bit taken back and expressed it. It’s as if the moment we walked in we had done something wrong. The appropriate request would’ve been, “hello, welcome, when you get settled and take off your coat if you could also please takeoff your hat, we would appreciate it.”

Instead the bouncer was humorless and robotic. The owner then proceeded to step in, acting defensive and rude. “Is there a problem?” She said firmly. And this all happened within seconds of entering the place calmly and respectfully. We were told to leave after trying to discuss the interaction with the owner. She claimed we were making her uncomfortable. Two ordinary dads with 4 children. Never raised our voices. No scene was made.

In this day and age when there are so many choices for dinner, the restaurant business must be about providing you, the customer, with excellent service. To be rudely admonished from the moment you walk in for essentially breaking their rule is truly bizarre. Did they not want kids in the restaurant? Seems like it in hindsight. Sorry folks, I’m not going back there and if I were you I’d think twice about going there too. You deserve better from the moment you walk in. The proprietor whose who claims her grandmother made the hat rule (nothing like holding on to tradition for a mediocre taco joint on Morris Ave) has no idea how much business...

We come here often and the food and service is always great. However, this time around, we were confused on who our server was. We got multiple pitchers of margaritas. We asked the person who dropped off our food for 2 glasses of ice with salt rims, ya know to freshen our margaritas. 20 mins went by and nothing. We then asked for shots and again for the salt rims. We received the shots and rims. Once our bill arrived, we were charged for two “rox salt rim” at $7/ piece. The bill total was $250. When we asked about the discrepancy, the new bill came out to $273. $23 more than the original bill. We asked to speak to a manager and one of our “servers” or the people that were by our table (her name was Jolie - said she was the owner) said that the server made a mistake and it had been addressed. She stated they caught the error while processing our bill. This all makes sense, except for the fact that I had to bring up the increase. Otherwise, this was never stated to our party. Then I asked if gratuity was included and Jolie stated that it was. This made me very upset since we were already upcharged without being communicated with. Our party stated that it was not about paying more, but had we not said anything about their mistake, our bill would have only been $250. They attempted to blame it on the server thinking we ordered 2 gins... but we received what we ordered.. 2 glasses with rocks salt. Being a server for many years, it did not make sense for us to have to pay more after pointing out their mistake and then having them say they made an even bigger mistake in undercharging us and had to charge us more. It’s all about making the customer happy and I...
