Even tho they got my order wrong. The food was good. I choose to stay with what was bought out instead of sending it back. Food was tasty

I've ordered from the Halsey street location a few times... a minor problem here and there but never like today... we ordered our lunch ahead so we have enough time to get back to the hospital and eat... when we get to the restaurant I asked the host if she could separate one of the orders (4 in total) and charge the other 3 together... she said yessss with out any issue... my coworker pays for her food (the 3 orders) and when I went to pay for mine she stated she charged it with my coworkers because I did not tell her to separate it... strike 1... after we pay we had to wait because even tho we called in our order ot was not ready... strike 2...at that time I then ordered a can soda and 2 coffees... my coworker and I step aside to wait for our food and coffee... we notice the host not making the coffee however taking care of customers who had just walked in (btw they got their food before us)... we ask one of your servers how long before our food got there and she said 6 minutes... about 20 minutes later our food FINALLY gets to us.. Strike 3.. had we not paid ahead we would have canceled and went elsewhere..
The food is amazing... but your staff is definitely not trained in how to actually serve... your host doesn't even have basic knowledge on what your menu is... a customer asked what cut of steak was being used and she said just regular steak with peppers and onions... your server had an unpleasant and bothered look everytime she passed us even tho we didn't ask her anything else...

Apparently I left this review for the wrong restaurant with a similar name, so I'm here to submit it again for the correct restaurant. I was looking for a good place to grab some quick lunch when I stumbled on Taino's Kitchen Downtown. I was greeted by Nori and Luz who were very warm and welcoming. Although what I wanted wasn't exactly on the menu, Luz found a way to make it work for me with the chef's help. The manager, Arelis, also came by to check on me to ensure that all was well. And it was. The food is delicious, the service even better. Taino's Kitchen Downtown is now my go-to-spot for lunch in Newark.

Today I visited this restaurant, I will definitely return. The food was exceptional, I was able to enjoy the authentic Puerto Rican flavor, it was as if the food had been made at home. The girls are very nice and attentive. I recommend this place.
