Crema's Take

Kanoa Cafe brings authentic Ecuadorian cuisine to Union City with such care that regulars happily drive 40 minutes for their encebollado and full breakfast spreads, where even the simplest dishes burst with flavor. The welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere makes it a natural gathering spot, and at $13 for a lunch combo with soup and entrée, it's the kind of place that feels like a genuine discovery rather than just another café.

The food here is insanely delicious. The variety and the amount of dishes they offer is amazing. Even the simplest dish is full of flavor. You can never go wrong with any of the dishes. I look forward to eating here every time I am in town.

Everything is good; the best encebollado in the tri-state area can be found at this place. The service is excellent, and it's a very welcoming atmosphere to enjoy their delicious dishes.

The service and food here is perfection! Ive been introduced to Ecuadorian cuisine by my boyfriend so I have been to many places around the NYC and NJ area. As an American, I feel Ecuadorian food is so underrated and a MUST to add to your list! Kanoa has wonderfully done traditional Ecuadorian cuisine. Best in NJ/NYC in my opinion!

This fairly new Ecuadorian restaurant is amazing. They offer great authentic Ecuadorian cuisine that brings you back to Ecuador with every bite. They have an amazing $13 lunch deal that includes a soup, the main dish, and a drink. Can’t go wrong with that! Absolutely delicious in every sense of the word, and I will most definitely be returning. Also, the owner and his wife are super friendly, and treat you like family - they come out and talk to their customers, and make them feel at home. Outstanding.
