2007-09-12 19:26:02 Mexican? Can someone confirm this? I've never been, but I'm pretty sure that El Taino serves Puerto Rican food. —JackCalcines
2007-09-23 11:41:34 This restaurant, to which I have not gone in about 6 or 7 years, served Puerto Rican food the last time I went, not Mexican food, in my book. It was very good, very authentic (the chicken had all the skin on it and was mostly dark meat), and a pleasant experience. I should check it out again soon. —KatieSchmitz
2008-02-01 08:44:06 "El Taino" refers to the native people of P.R. Thus I doubt that it's Mexican food. —OwenThompson
2009-03-09 16:32:50 The fried yellow plantains they serve are awesome! I loved eating here for lunch: generous portions and a modest price. The pork is delicious (almost like Chinese roast pork)! The host is very hospitable and friendly. He invited us to try some homemade sauces that were wonderful, too. —Cherkwai
2009-11-11 13:06:29 This place is fantastic. I had the roast pork with rice and beans that was not only cheap ($7) but also delicious and came in a huge portion size. The fried plantains were excellent, and the homemade hot sauce is awesome! Its got a nice, clean, welcoming interior with plenty of seating and friendly and helpful workers. Its cash only, but well worth a many visits. —GeorgeBluth
2010-02-07 12:59:51 El Taino is great. Excellent roast pork/beef stew. Comes with delicious rice and beans and is one of the best values in Rochester (~$7). —SRudman
2011-06-07 19:09:31 food was good. Not dynamic with crazy flavors, but it did well with its simplicity —jberna
