Originally set to end on January 31, 2025, you now have more time to earn AND redeem your 10% rewards at all participating Downtown Monterey Park restaurants—until program funds are exhausted! This means you can continue to enjoy 10% back on every dining experience in Downtown Monterey Park while helping our local restaurants thrive.

The City of Monterey Park launched the Taste of Downtown MPK promotion to support local restaurants and encourage more foot traffic in our vibrant downtown district.
