“After a long day of shopping and hiking, we were torn between Peruvian and Puerto Rican food. We came across Taino Kitchen, saw the 4.1-star rating on Google, and decided to give it a try & and we are so glad we did.

From the moment we walked in, Allan, the owner, made us feel welcome. He was cleaning tables when we arrived, immediately told us to sit wherever we liked, and was incredibly kind and attentive throughout our meal. Once he realized we wanted to try a little bit of everything and share, he helped us put together a fun mix of dishes.

And we definitely tried a little bit of everything! We ordered the alcapurria, carne guisada, arroz con gandules, habichuelas, yuca, tostones, maduros, and churrasco with chimichurri and garlic sauce. Allan also generously brought us chicken cheese and beef cheese empanadas to try.

Everything was delicious. Sometimes Caribbean Latin food can lean a little salty, but the seasoning here was incredibly well balanced. The beef was cooked perfectly, the carne guisada was flavorful, and the tostones were crisp without being overly oily. Even with such a large variety of food on the table, each dish stood on its own.

They also make their juices in house, with passion fruit, tamarind, and lemonade available; all generously offered to us by Allan. I chose the tamarind, and it was excellent, refreshing and full of flavor, without being overly sweet.

And just when we thought we were finished, Allan ended our meal with a perfect tres leches.

What made the experience even more special was learning just how much of a family operation Taino Kitchen really is; right down to the dinnerware. Allan told us that the plates were made by his niece, while his sons and nephews help cook in the kitchen, and Allan seems to fill in just about every other gap needed to keep the restaurant running.

You can feel the family behind this place. It wasn't just a great meal; it felt like being welcomed into someone's home and being encouraged to try everything they were proud of making.

If you're in the Monroe area and looking for authentic Puerto Rican food served with genuine hospitality, Taino Kitchen is absolutely worth a visit. We came in simply looking for dinner after a long day and left very happy that we chose this place.“

“Update: went to day again and had a pumpkin chip cookie! OMG SOOOOO GOOD! Also got red velvet, toasted coconut and espresso cupcakes

This bakery has the BEST cakes I’ve ever had! Every bite tastes fresh, moist, and full of flavor. I’ve ordered their cakes for birthdays and special occasions, and they never disappoint — my family and friends are always impressed.

What I love most is how beautifully decorated they are, without ever sacrificing taste. The frosting is smooth and not overly sweet, and the cakes always have that perfect balance that makes you want another slice.

The staff is wonderful too — they really listen to what you want and make sure the cake comes out just right. You can tell they put their heart into every creation. This is my go-to place whenever I need a cake that feels special!

You can’t leave without trying the cookies and carrot cakes! My personal favorite it the lemon cake!“

“I love the flavor and texture of the English muffins. Plain and cinnamon raisin. The visuals of what they actually look like is nothing like what’s shown on the box(es.) I purchased a few months ago when they had the big box sale. Expectation vs reality was quite disappointing“

“Like the bagels, but the one person behind the checkout counter very rude.“
