Best Puerto Rican Food in Jacksonville Florida. Flavorful PuertoRican food like home ! Wonderful staff and an amazing chef!
Good place. Very friendly personnel. Food taste very close of my motherland food. Good music while lunching.
Not my first time and not my last, El Taino is in a plaza off university with some solid eats. That doesnt mean they dont hold their own. With Puerto Rican favorites like Tripleta(first thing I had here) and Mofongo, El Taino has been a solid lunch spot.This visit I had the Carne Frita con Trifongo/fried pork chunks with a yuca/cassava/plantain Mofongo. Took a little time to get to me to order but I was also a little indecisive. I ordered and it came out fast, hot and fresh. The pork was huge and juicy, fried perfectly. The trifongo was a first for me and delicious. A nice alternative to the traditional Mofongo. Nice cup of garlic dip and mayoketchup....wash it down with a beer and yeah, me and my belly are HAPPY!
The cuisine here is delicious with a good taste and prices
The Kan-Kan and Asopao de mariscos was sooo good. I like their special sauce on the burgers and how big they are, definitely big enough to split between two kids. My soup was very generous and served their purpose as leftovers thr next day. The fries were not salted, which some may appreciate.Service was kind, welcoming, attentive and quick. We had a great Father's Day early dinner there.If you're looking for real, authentic Puerto Rican food, this is the place.
Excellent food and service was above and beyond. Keep up the good work. See you soon.
Always authentic Puerto Rican food. Large portions, awesome taste. I kind of don't want to recommend them for fear of it becoming too popular, and me having to make reservations to get in it.
I love this restaurant!! Such a great representation of our food and friendly people. ?
Service was great the food was so over seasoned or way under seasoned couldn't win the server tried her best to make all better it just was not good at all I'm hoping it was just chef had a real bad day today
Great food, great service! We live in South East Georgia and will make the trip to Jacksonville to go back. The young lady that helped us was super friendly and very nice.
