Due to the positive response, we’re excited to announce that the Taste of Downtown MPK program has been extended! You now have more time to earn and redeem rewards at all participating Downtown Monterey Park restaurants—until program funds are exhausted!

Special April Promotion: Get 15% Back!

To celebrate the continued success of the program, we're offering a limited-time 15% reward for the entire month of April 2025! That’s right—earn 15% back (up to $10 per transaction) when you dine at participating Downtown MPK restaurants. After April, the standard 10% reward rate will resume.

This initiative, which began on November 1, 2024, offers residents and visitors a chance to earn 10% back on their purchases at participating downtown restaurants. “We’re thrilled to offer this innovative program to our community and our valued local businesses,” said Joseph Torres, Monterey Park Economic Development Manager. “Taste of Downtown MPK is a win-win: it encourages diners to explore our vibrant downtown culinary scene and directly benefits the restaurants that make our downtown so special.”
