As I waited for my delicious sandwich, I ordered a sangria. I noticed they poured it from a pouch. I took the attached photo, thinking... wow, I'm going to purchase some of those for the house. It's been months and I've called just about every liquor store in Jax and NO ONE sells Gasolina Sangria Party Pouches. If anyone knows where I can purchase these... please let me know.
I have been looking for a great place to take my wife to get authentic mofongo. They had a great frozen sangria and amazing food. I didn’t know they were about to close, they sat us 5 minutes before closing and never mentioned their closing time. Excellent service. You should give them a try.
If you want to taste an excelent Puerto Rican food, this is the place! We were recived for a friendly people who shared with us about the Island cousine, we get de Taino Plater, plenty of fried pork, beef and chiken with plantains an yuca, a side off Moffongo a mix on banana plantain an yuca dresed wihit pinch of garlic and onions, Cesar the Owner were with us and recomend the dessert a delicious coconut pudding, made by his own daughter. A very good surprise on the prices, the variety and the good atention on EL Taino.
This is the first time I can recall having Puerto Rican food here in the States. The service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely delicious.
Love this restaurant!! Great service, the owner is very amicable and food quality on point!
Very clean, fresh restaurant. As a bonifide Redneck, I had no idea what the menu items were, but the waitress was very patient with me taking time to explain everything. I was very happy with my meal, the beers and the service. Highly recommend.
Okay guys so if you are from Puerto Rico and miss the flavors from our island this is the place to go.
My husband had the mofongo relleno de bistec a la criolla and I had the mofongo relleno de Churasco.
The flavors were amazing the best we ever tried .
The frappes were better then the ones in Orlando.
Customer service was so amazing 10 stars for everyone and my compliments to the chefs.
Had an amazing time at El Taino, The vibe was just right - cozy and welcoming. Totally loved their Taino Puerto Rican cuisine. The flavors were spot on. Plus, the staff were super friendly, making the whole experience even better.
The food was delicious and the wait staff were kind. There is a language barrier if you don't speak Spanish but they do have someone that does speak English If needed. If you want amazing Puerto Rican food this place hits the spot. We will be coming back again and again
Food was amazing. I got the beef empanada and chicken in garlic sauce which was the special of the day. The food was absolutely amazing. The dough for the empanada was delicious and the meat was seasoned to perfection. The chicken was still moist and tender and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. I was in Jacksonville for an event but any time I come back I would go out of my way to go here.
