Taino's Kitchen

We had the chicken criollo, alcapurrias and beef stew. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. And they also serve a good coffee too.

Very beautiful, loved the place. I just didn't like when im eating some lady came to the table selling some stuff . ...

I had the pollo en salsa criolla, mofongo pernil, and alcapurrias. The rice was not the freshest, it was a bit stale. My chicken was also a bit dry but the flavor was great, it was very hard and hard to chew but I still enjoyed it. The mofongo was also very hard to put my fork into and eat it. The pernil was a bit dry but also had amazing flavor. My favorite thing out of everything I ordered were the alcapurrias. They were amazing and reminded me just of the ones back home on the island. I ordered my food through uber eats so I definitely want to give them another chance and try out the food in person! Nonetheless, the meals were authentic and delicious besides a few flaws.

Excellent hospitality and service! Staff were very attentive, friendly and welcoming. The wings weren’t warm enough and the staff offered to warm them up in the oven, which was thoughtful and sweet. The food was delicious and the atmosphere definitely gives PR vibes! Nostalgic and amazing!!

Overall great place! Taino kitchen offers authentic Puerto Rican food that is very fresh and tasty. The inside was decorated with native Taino decor, they are from Isabela. It was hot inside, felt like I was in Puerto Rico. The outside was decorated just like San Juan, with the umbrellas and flags! The ladies working there were very nice and helpful! Food came out quick! I ordered all the starters and it was delicious. The pink sauce was only ketchup and mayo, I wish it had a bit more seasoning. The beef empanadas didn’t have a lot of flavor and it was a little oily. The papa rellanos were very very good - I wish there was either olives or peppers mixed in the meet to give it more flavor. To eat I ordered beef with onions, the beef was cooked perfectly- I didn’t even need to use a knife.
