I went to meet a colleague for lunch and this place did not DISAPPOINT!! We had the mofongo camarones aljillo ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. The mofongo was not dry, most places get that part messed up. It was perfect. The service was great, our waitress kept checking on us without interrupting our convo (we had a lot to talk about) I would def be back 10/10

Taino’s Restaurant was amazing and I highly recommend. The food was incredible, the prices were reasonable, and the service was top notch. Great location and ambience. Will definitely come back the next time I’m in the Newark area.

Chosen and preserved

This restaurant is an hidden gem. I ordered the fried red snapper,mofongo and avocado salad. Customer service was on point. The lady that answered the phone was patient as I was figuring out exactly what I wanted. I was allowed to pre-order my food and pick it up a couple hours after. When I got my food It was fresh hot and welcoming.
This food was the best food Ive had here in Newark since I've relocated. It's authentic and you could actually taste the love in the food. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. If I could give ten stars I would. Definitely will be back. Thank You 💚

Authentic PuertoRican food. Several different delicious entrees.
The very best Yucca(Casava) Alcapurias with an added spice over the top of them that only enhances the flavor.
WOW truly the best I've ever had. Great job. And the flavor doesn't change between the 2 local Restaurants.

Great stop for lunch. Flavorful and fresh. The pork was tender and juicy. The shrimp was ok but over coocked. My brother in-law enjoyed his food as well. He complimented the salmon and mafongo.

I had a great experience at this establishment in where Liz served me and took about 10 -15 minutes to get my food. I came here for lunch and had rice, beans, shrimp al ajillo and Maduros. The juice I had was tamarind which was a little sweet for me but added more ice.
I paid cash so I didn’t have to think about additional fees and surcharges.

The food was great! I had the daily special… yellow rice, pernil and a salad. The rice was great and the pernil was very tasty. Luz was very attentive and thoughtful throughout our time there ! I would definitely come again.
