“My family discovered the TapTap by chance, when my teen’s phone quit working during an outing and he needed to call home for help. The proprieters very kindly allowed him to use their phone, and while he waited for pick-up, he ordered some food. We ended up enjoying a delicious and generous rice bowl and beef and chicken pasties. So flavorful!! We are so glad to have found this fantastic gem, and plan to return for more!“
“Outstanding food. Quick friendly service. Our large group was served with a delightful meal. We were able to try most of the appetizers and enjoyed them all. We split several plates of the lamb shank, jerk chicken, and kofta. Amazing spicing.“
“We have ordered Work Hard Eat Good multiple times for catered work events and let me tell you, our employees don't get this excited for any other caterers! The jerk chicken and the mango salsa go SO well together, and the plantains are a lovely sweet treat too. The owners are down-to-earth and very pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend trying them out!“

“I think that this restaurant is phenomenal. I went with a friend who had frequented the restaurant in the past. She raved about the food and how at night it shifts into a great dancing, music, eating venue. I found, the service to be very engaging, warm and friendly. The food was savory and perfectly prepared. I highly recommend Orchid 7 Fusion Bar & Grill.“
“It was my first time dining at Orinoco and it was an excellent experience. The atmosphere is inviting and distinctive, felt inviting after a long day. I got an Empanada Verde and Orinoco Mojito to start, a mixed salad and Parrilla Caraqueña for my main, and Quesillo for dessert. I stray away from mojitos because of sweetness but I figured to give it a chance and I wasn’t disappointed. It had the right balance and one of my favorite mojitos I’ve ever had. The empanada had me wishing I ordered more. The main entree was excellent, hats off to the kitchen staff. The chicken, steak, chorizo, and yuca fries cooked to perfection. The flavor/seasonings were balanced, and didn’t beg of anything else (sauces, etc.). I usually don’t go for dessert but I’d say the quesillo would be a dessert to treat yourself to. Lastly, the service was incredible. Very warm, attentive, and informative, Philip and Daniel are what made the experience for me, and are the reason I will return. Highly recommend, you won’t regret giving Orinoco a try. I’m looking forward to trying out more of their menu.“
“Great small Trinidadian cuisine located in hyde park,MA. The atmosphere is so inviting from the outside and the inside. It is a small place, with a homey touch to it. There's limited outside seating in the summer but as you can imagine, during the cold season, nobody really likes to sit outside lol. I was first introduced to this place last year by one of my Trini co-workers and got in contact with the owner to place a catering order for a work event. We ordered buss up shut, curry chicken, and chana and aloo. Everything came out so delicious and full of flavor. The team enjoyed the food and asked for another catering event and so I placed an order for the same dishes and the owner Allan, worked with our budget. Allan is very friendly and accommodating. Everything was done on time and when I arrived to pick up the order, Allan and his teams helped bring everything to my car. The chana and aloo and the buss up shot are vegan friendly :) I recommend this place! (10/10)“
“We rented the back room club for a Quinceanera in March '24. Janice and the team helped us with the event and made everything fit our budget. They circulated plentiful and very tasty apps and small plates. We had an open bar for adults and open soft drinks for kids and the bill was reasonable. The decor was classy, newly refreshed gorgeous wall paper and so we didn't need to add much. Everyone had a great time. One late comer missed food service but they were easily accommodated on request. Highly recommended for events! The team ensured the music was queued so we were able to save on DJ.Vegetarian options: We asked for vegetarian empanadas to be made in addition to toastones and maduros.“
“The food was so good! I wish I took a picture before I ate it all. I tried the jerk pork with rice with djon djon. When I called to ask about food/recommendations, Juan was amazing! He asked if I like spicy and told me about the jerk pork. It was perfect. And he was helpful and nice. I won't order from some places, sad to say, because some are so rude and not helpful when you call an order in. And the staff here was friendly and said hello when I got there to get my food. I'll definitely go there again when I'm in that area.“
“This was quite literally the best meal I've had in months. The jerk chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and absurdly delicious. The rice and peas are perfectly seasoned and cooked and the fried plantains are some of the best I've ever had. Don't sleep on this place! It's primarily a take-out spot, but there are a few seats at the counter if you want to eat in. The service is warm and welcoming, and the food is fantastic and made with love.“
