El Taino

New owner/managment that's a plus, haven't been here in years they were well known for Bistec encebollao & tostones con ajillo, beefsteak with onions & fried plantains with garlic sauce. They changed owners & it went down hill. Since new management I decided to get an alcapurria which is a stuffed green banana fritter & an empanadilla or empanada. To my surprise I can tell the dough is homemade not that frozen Goya discs like other restaurants in CLE use, I got the chicken very crispy dough with a flavorful chicken filling & the alcapurria was filled with pork meat which wasn't dry, very moist well seasoned which I haven't had since my aunt stopped making them, a filling that's not used here in CLE every place I've gotten used ground beef, I will definitely go back again since it's about 2 blocks away, way to go El Taino I wish you much success....

We're visiting Ohio on business and this place was recommended to me by a local so we decided to give it a try. Great authentic Puerto Rican food. Very welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food was like home cooking food. Would definitely recommend

Really good Puerto Rican food in South Tremont. The roast chicken is amazing. For like $8 you can get half a chicken, rice, and beans. It's two meals for an average appetite. Mostly Puerto Rican clientele. Hands down, some of the tastiest food around.

My family of 17 came in today and we had such an amazing time. We talked to the owners who were super nice. The food is pretty inexpensive, super tasty, and large portioned. Super authentic Puerto Rican food and I would recommend stopping by.
