We’ve loved this restaurant since before they moved from their Horner St. address. It was one of the first places we ate when we first moved to Union City and it remained our go-to comfort food spot as our girls learned to walk and toddle. It’s a family-run local place with great food and wonderful service. I’ve taken friends, family, my office staff, and my fellow martial arts instructors here regularly without a miss.

Visiting this Mexican food restaurant in Union City was an absolute delight! The vibrant and cozy ambiance instantly transported me to the heart of Mexico. The menu offered an extensive selection of authentic dishes bursting with flavors. From the perfectly seasoned tacos to the mouthwatering enchiladas, every bite was a fiesta in my mouth. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking an unforgettable Mexican culinary experience!

Tried this place for the first time today. Very lively atmosphere and kind waiters. Really good music. Ordering was quick and so was the food. I swear when I say the 4 al pastor taco special I had was the best AL pastor tacos I have ever had I ain’t lieing! They were so flavorful and tender! The best! Definitely give this place a try. You will not be sorry! Picture is the aftermath.. didn’t get a before pic haha

The menudo broth looks and tastes like it’s been watered down, maybe so that it lasts throughout the day. The meat, the maiz and the garnishes are excellent.

Starting off with the chips and salsa was great. I mean yes it is just chips and salsa but the salsa had a great taste and spice to it.

It’s been years since I’ve eaten at Mexico Tipico. We went after a local corporate event so there were 20+ of us, with reservations, they accommodated our group with no problems. Food was good. I totally enjoyed my combination plate of Chile Relleno and Chicken Enchilada. My wife had the tostada and Pork Enchilada. I tasted her Enchilada and it was amazing. I think they used Chicharones. A few of our party ordered Beef Birria Tacos and it in was amazing as well. And so, I intend to return to try that. I highly recommend this place.

Seems like a busy lunch place. A lot of “business” folks. Food was good. Service was on a slower side, took us good 15 minutes before we could order and another 20-25 to get our food. But for the rest everything was good: it is clean, good options for drinks and food, good vibe in general.

One of my favorite Mexican restaurant. BUT I changed my mind because of slow service and it’s not even packed and by ignoring is for so long. My fried fish arrived but no sauce for it so I asked for garlic butter sauce after another 10 mins of waiting for servers who pretty much avoided making eye contact with any of us and just walking by us rushing and avoiding. So they finally gave me pieces of butter but not garlic butter sauce. I just ended up taking my food home. I will stick to Cantaritos since it’s closer to us, food and drinks are really good and ATTENTIVE to customers.

This place is okay. It is hard to find good food sometimes in Union City, so this place is fair. I usually get the quesadilla now a days and it’s good. It is VERY big though. The service is usually pretty slow, so be prepared to be there for a while.
