Biggies Mexican Restaurant

Please don’t serve any more day old empanadas that are microwaved in front of the customer. The first time I tried them, they were great. Went ahead and picked some up the next morning and it was very clear these were old. Ate one and tossed the other.

3 stars because the flautas were really good.

I LOVED the food here so much and I can't recommend this place more. If you want authentic, delicious Mexican cuisine, then this place is definitely the restaurant to go to. The guacamole was addictingly yummy, and the bistec tacos and chorizo quesadilla were very yummy. We ate inside the restaurant so we had a lot of green and hot sauce to work with. It was a very lovely experience.

One of three places I go for Mexican food outside of Bayonne. Biggies on Bergenline Ave in Union City still has that excellent flavor. Their tostadas were amazing. The green salsa was excellent and their handmade quesadillas de carñitas was an explosion of flavor. The limonada was perfect, not too tart or too sweet. Great service and not a long wait for food. Even tho the parking is sparse most of the time its worth looking for one to get a bite to eat here.

I give this place a solid 6/10. If you want better and more affordable tacos go to the taco truck around the corner. The guacamole was severely under salted and the tamales kind of tasteless. Tacos were alright but I’ve definitely had better in the area. Not terrible, but not great.

Recommend. A popular local sit-down, casual Mexican Food shop for quick breakfast, lunch or dinner. Including take out and local delivery options. Biggies has been our favorite for over 5 years. We even watch parades on Bergenline from our table while we eat. Great local bus transport right outside the door. Owner, management and staff are very helpful. The cooks are the best!!

I would not recommend. The food does not have an authentic taste and the customer service is nonexistent. I ordered a “fresh” watermelon beverage, a pork torta and guacamole and chips. The beverage was made from frozen fruit, so that says how fresh it really was. The beverage was 3$, very small and not fresh at all. The pork torta was made with a bread that (if you’re Mexican or have had a Mexican torta would know) is not for tortas, the meat was bland. The torta was 7.50$, decent size but no authentic taste. The guacamole was bland, again I don’t know if they just want you to add the salt or they just don’t really like to season things. Also if you like guacamole you know that one of the ingredients that should stand out the most is the lime, this guacamole had no lime and a really strong onion taste. The best part of this experience was the chips, they were freshly “made” or fried and were served on a nice plate (guacamole & chips 6$). The whole thing wasn’t pleasant and for the money I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I know they also say it’s a good place for fast food but that isn’t applicable either. Try the Mexican spot right down the street called Taqueria El Paso, they have hand made tortillas, the food taste good and are very friendly.

Google has been nudging me towards going here with recurring notifications that they felt this place was a good match for me. I had the enchiladas suizas and a side of refried black beans. They were very good but they are very heavy with the cheese and sour cream. I love both of those things but it is a lot. My wife wasn't feeling well and they were very accommodating in getting her meal to go. Growing up in southern California I know Mexican food elsewhere is generally not what I'd expect but so far the food I had is close enough that I have no real complaints and will try some more.

Went here for some drunk food adventure. Good value on the food and service is excellent. Overall no complaints.
Recommend for anything from brunch to quick bites to sit down dinners. I think the variety of food options there will satisfy your taste.
