Puerto Rican native Jose Melendez got his start doing pop-ups, catering and working in kitchens before opening his first Twisted Taino location in the Sauce the City Food Hall in Ohio City. In 2021 he moved out to Parma to open his own location. The fast casual and carryout menu is built on Puerto Rican and other Latin flavors, from Mexico, Colombia and the Caribbean, which chef Melendez combines with his own modern twist. If you’d like to try a variety of these up-from-the-south dishes, including tostones, build-your-own mogolla rice bowls, pastalon, empanadas and a variety of burgers and sandwiches, this is your place. There’s even a kids’ menu.
