Bistro Taino: Reviews & Ratings
Love love love this place! I wanted some good authentic Puerto Rican food & this place did not disappoint. Everything we had was well seasoned, great temperature, & so delicious. The atmosphere makes you feel like you're in PR with the music & the way the place is decorated. Our server had a great attitude & had us laughing all night. The chef & manager came out to our table (also visited every other table) to make sure we were satisfied with everything. From the food, to the ambiance, to the customer service, this place was great & also approved by my grandma from Puerto Rico (she's a tough critic!) Can't wait to return!:)
As I write this my mouth Is watering. The food here is amazing authentic tasting Puerto Rican Cusine. The plating and presentation are top notch. Start with their sorullitos which are some of the BEST we've had; the Alcapurrias are chefs kiss; So many wonderful gastric choices - from the sancocho to their fish options, the Pernil is so moist and juicy. Buen Provecho. Update: this place is the most welcoming and attentive place. Shout out to Jacob who treated us like family, and provided top notch service.
Great Puerto Rican restaurant. First time visiting. The staff is super friendly. Our host was Ari and she was amazing. Very attentive and diligent. Give her a raise. The food was delicious: alcapurrias as appetizer, Red snapper, Bifongo with shrimp, Fish, salad, tostones and sweet plantains. The dessert was a flan with ice cream. Just one thing: we ordered two lemonades. Those who ordered them felt that they were not freshly squeezed lemonades. They serve water when seated. Definitely coming back.
Bistro Taino.. what can I say amazing restaurant that brings me back to my roots. Staff were friendly, very attentive. Ana our waitress was absolutely wonderful. Very sweet, gave recommendations and answered every question on point. Great atmosphere and music. The food and drinks were exceptional. Bistec Encebollado, alcapurrias, empanadillas, pina colada.. everything was delicious.. Definitely will return to try more..
Ana gave us great service! Staff was very amicable and the atmosphere is perfect for a Puerto Rican restaurant. The bacalaitos 100/10 and probably one of the best I’ve had. The steak with onions was juicy and well marinated. Perfect portions, more than enough food and I packed all my leftovers to go. All of the accompanying sauces were delicious and a great pairing for the food. Money well spent. Parking lot was a great perk and also lots of street parking. The decor is stylish and the second floor gives you a San Juan feel with the hanging umbrellas. Will be back.
First time here and I must say the vibe was on point. Everyone was very welcoming and super nice it felt like being back on the Island. The food and drinks were all delicious. 10/10 Definitely as place I recommend
My new favorite Puerto Rican restaurant! I've gone to every Puerto Rican restaurant near me that I can find. This one happened to be a little over an hour away but I'm glad to say the drive was definitely worth it! The food was amazing! The portions were great! The drinks amazing. Everything was perfect!
Ambiance, food, and service were great! Drinks are delicious, food reminds me of home, and the vibe is so PR. This was my boyfriend and I’s first time dining here and we’ll definitely be back! Thank you to Ana for serving us, she was awesome.
