“We went here thinking it was going to be more of a restaurant but it’s like a chipotle where you go up to the counter and tell them what you’d like. I definitely loved it though and they had authentic Mexican options, like Al pastor, which was delicious. They also offer potatoes as a topping which I found delicious in my bowl. They also have sitting inside so you can get your order and eat in the restaurant. Overall, it was a good experience and definitely better than a chain burrito restaurant.“
“I was born and raised in LA, and have struggled to find Mexican food that reminds me of home. Tuxpan is a slice of home, and is the best Mexican food I've had in Rhode Island. I am a Mexican food snob, so trust me!! The staff and owners are down to earth. They make their own tortillas, and it really adds to the homey feel of the place. I hope the intimate experience of the CF location is maintained even as they inevitably (and so well-deservedly) grow and thrive!“
“The nicest people work here and the food is AMAZING! My coworkers and I went here for my birthday lunch and the staff over heard and sang happy birthday to me and a brought over a yummy waffle! Best part, I was able to get a Mexican breakfast for lunch! 100% recommend this adorable restaurant filled with love and great food!“
“After reading online reviews, we decided to check it out, and it certainly wasn't hype. The margaritas were awesome, the chicken tortilla soup was delightful, and Nicole at the bar was so welcoming, as soon as we walked through the door. This place is a must-try, you won't be disappointed.“
“A really small restaurant but humble and authentic IMO. Got combo 5 with chorizo and French toast after being recommend it by Victoria who was great to talk to for a bit and was attentive. Food was big in proportion and tasted great. French toast was alright LOL. Definitely recommend and want to try their banana smoothie since they were out of it for next time..“
“Be careful of the margaritas—they are large and potent. Also tasty as they use real lime. One night there was a mariachi band. Really talented singer. Food is either good or very good depending on what you order. Many Latinx people eat here or work here. A good sign.“
“I discovered this food truck during RI Food Fights: Taco Mania. We drove by it by accident the first time and had to park up the street, but there is some parking right behind the truck. The man who owns it, Danny, was super friendly and the customer service is top tier. The food is also delicious so all around I would say you need to add this to your list of places to check out. They have only been open for a few months and I just saw that new items are being added to the menu. I can't wait to see what they grow into as they stick around for a while.“
“Absolutely love this Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere is very welcoming, celebrating the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead through aesthetics. The servers are incredible nice and attentive. We have been a few times now the last couple months this is our new favorite spot. Thursday they have Happy Hour until 7pm (something Ma doesn't do) and I can't say enough about the delicious margaritas and their special Birria loaded fries has been my absolute favorite!Our first time here we were originally going to the place next door, but my daughter was in the mood for tacos.. zero disappointment! We keep going back again and again!This is a must try spot!“
“"YES THIS IS A FOOD TRUCK"I am sure glad my family and I stopped here to grab a bite to eat.And let me tell you It didn't disappoint. I've lived in Pawtucket for 47 years and always had to travel to try to find a good bite and here they are in my own backyard serving great authentic Mexican food. Everything was well prepared, we had the chicken tacos, steak tacos chicken quesadillas, and enchiladas and a burrito " BIG ORDER" and still everything came out steamy & hot!! The place was pretty busy too. Thank you for choosing Pawtucket to Park your truck! I appreciate it!“
“This place has the best tacos in New England!!! Actually on the east coast!!! Tell ‘em Bobby sent you! I been all over the east & west coast & everywhere in between eating tacos and two thumbs up to Tacos Don Nachos in Woonsocket RI!!! All they need is some fish tacos and bet I’d give a second great review!!! Thank you for your rockstar service and good eats!Good looks! #1Bistec, #2carnitas, #3 chorizo tacos harina and Mexican coke in da glass bottle Muy delicioso(very delicious)gracias(thank you)!que tenga un lindo día! (Have a nice day)“
“The food here is good. They serve chips and salsa which i LOVED. I order the carne asada tacos which were very very dry. I won’t get those again. My husband ordered the San Fransisco quesadilla which was AMAZING! Also their refried beans are delicious. The service was great. But the place was very “
“All I have to say is Chipotle, where? I had a chicken burrito and it was sooooo flavorful. Every bite had chicken. The rice was hot and delicious. The server accommodating and friendly. Washed everything down with a very cold beer. Delightful spot.Vegetarian options: Husband got a vegetarian burrito and he was impressed.“
“My daughter gave me a chicken burrito Friday night by Saturday I wanted more so she brought me back there to get another chicken burrito and a cow's tongue burrito and they were marvelous!If you want the nachos my daughter also said that they were so good. The woman at the window was nice she chit-chatted and she told me how to say certain words in Spanish after I asked.The only thing I did not care for was the parking and they can't help that But they were literally four or five parking spaces there“
“Couldn’t say more about the service, the food & the ambiance. The steak fajitas were flavorful, the chicken tinga nachos were satisfying & the Al pastors tacos were really good. We loved the Mezcal margaritas as well! Ate too quickly to take photos. Looking forward to coming back.“
“Dine in for lunch, at this time there is allot of takeout orders going out the door. Regardless I sat down and was served lunch within 10 mins. Chips and salsa were served right off and both are homemade and good. I got the Steak Chimichanga which was cooked perfectly with a light crispy outer crust. Lots of meat inside and served with Rice and beans. Outstanding little find.“
“We kept driving by El Paso and my kids for some reason always wanted to come here. Am I glad we finally did! Place is a hidden gem in central falls. Walking in they had only Spanish shows on the TVs and were playing Spanish music. I knew this place was the real deal. We ordered taquitos as an app which was played perfectly with white sauce and topped with shredded lettuce and tomatoes. Delicious. I ordered an quesa taco which was a taco that was overflowing with cheese and chicken. I also ordered their popular dish the birria which is a taco with shredded beef.Anything that came in a shell was grilled which made it nice and crispy. That is what made El Paso stand out from other restaurants. Not to mention, everything was delicious. We also ended up ordering a Nutella crepe with bananas and strawberries which we ate in seconds.We will be back again and again.“
“The food in this MARAVILLOSIRFULL place is SUPER GOOD, DELICIOUS, TASTY and YUMMY!!!??❤️??????%The price is way more reasonable than any other place around them and Providence. "WARRANTY" The portion is fair enough ?! You can go by yourself or bring someone to impressed with a good plate of food ???!I'm sure they can make kids meals. A lot of Mexican products and candy.(my best choice) ?? Just go and find out your self, u won't regret. ???❤️???Parking: Is 3 parking spot in front of the store but very uncomfortable to pull out cause traffic. Sometimes you can park close to the store with no problem. Besides that everything else is OK!!!!“
“The BEST Mexican food you’ll find in PVD. Our waitress tonight was amazing. My daughters adored her and the member of staff who was training alongside her. Thank you for an a great evening. Will 100% be back. ❤️Kid-friendliness: My daughters Clover and Cece were treated so well by the staff. It’s so hard to find a family friendly restaurant but they went above and beyond.“
“The atmosphere for dine in is full of plants and great music! The staff was friendly and good at their jobs. The food, of course, was the best part. I got the azada tacos and the meat was so tender and flavored well! I also enjoyed a side of French fries and Eloté (street corn on the cob). I highly recommend this place for your taco or eloté fix!“
“So I have to say I am really pleased that Diego’s has got its groove back. I was there in June for a disastrous brunch and we left aft 45 minutes of a really bad experience. I mention this as the owner must have cleaned house. I was there on Sunday for brunch and I can not help but to describe the experience as phenomenal. The service - impeccable. It was almost as if the waitress knew when our drinks were almost empty every time. She also had some great recommendations related to the food and drinks. The food - phenomenal. We had the crack fries as an appetizer and it was not only great but the portion large enough that I had trouble finishing my actual meal. And the special - I had the Chicken Benedict. The only thing I can say bad about it was it was so big I couldn’t finish it. Everything about it was perfect - it had a little zing, the cornbread was a perfect alternative to an English Muffin, and the chicken so good. So my compliments to the owner and staff. I don’t see my review from June but I’m sure they remember it and changes were made. We decided to give it another try and I will I say this without hesitation… this was probably one of the best brunch meals I have had in a long time. Well done - we will definitely be back.“
“This place looks amazingly good!!Now with new management everything looks great... I definitely recommend this place to buy Mexican sweets and condiments, now also a new person is in charge of the restaurant and cooks delicious everything now seems to be super perfect... don't hesitate to stop by a while and go enjoy some good Mexican food.This place looks better than ever omg!! Now it's under new management and everything looks great.I definitely recommend this place to eat and get all Mexican condiments and candy. What can I say about this place!! Is my favorite place ever I am a client since December 2012here is where I find all my stuff I need from Mexico.From real Mexican candy to even Mexican cheese, I go to La Poblanita once a week ♥️and I have many more pics of stuff I buy to cook traditional Mexican food“
“Excelente servicio!!!! EXTRAORDINARY!!! The food was AMAZING! We ordered carne asada, grilled chicken quesadilla, tacos de chorizo, tacos de lengua, enchiladas de mole, churros, and fried ice cream and everything was DELICIOSO!!!! La verdad que nos encantó! The waiter was very friendly and it's actually a very beautiful restaurant with authentic Mexican food. I highly recommend it!“
“Awesome food truck!Tacos are the best, most authentic I’ve had in New England. Remind me of the tacos I had growing up in SoCal and trips down to Mexico.Service is fast and friendly.Favorites are the Tacos de maiz Azada/PastorWide variety of other options that are good, but the tacos are the star if the show.All forms of payment excepted, but I always pay in cash.“
“I showed up wanting to buy a gift but didn’t really know what. I was given a few options with different prices. I felt that they took the time to give me something beautiful that was within my budget. I have to say my expectations were beyond met. Very thankful and hope great things for this business.“
“Great food I got the enchiladas borrachas everything is so fresh you can even have guacamole made tableside! The frontera margarita was delicious and the kids plate comes with good portions!Parking: Lots of parkingKid-friendliness: Nice kids menu“
“I've never had a bad experience here!!! The food is amazing! Fresh ingredients, huge portions and the wait staff has always been awesome! We frequent this place and it's never TOO busy where you can't get a table as a walk in customer. Love this place!“
“One of the best burritos I’ve ever had recommend this if you want any food and suits anyone.Vegetarian options: The options are very varied between meat and veggies.Dietary restrictions: Only so many restrictions.Kid-friendliness: Any kid would love it here.“
“My favorite bagel place in RI! Their bagels have the perfect amount of chew. You can also get a great variety of flavored cream cheese. Yum! This is the same group that used to work on Brook Street. Their breakfast bagel sandwiches always have the perfect bagel to egg to bacon and cheese ratio. It hits the spot!“
“I ordered some dishes for an upcoming and shower and while there decided to get a meal to go to try it for the first time. I got the fried chicken it came with rice, beans and a macaroni salad. Everything was absolutely delicious and was a very generous serving. The staff couldn't be any nicer or more accommodating. I have no doubt the food I ordered for the shower will be equally amazing. I'll definitely come back and be a little more adventurous in choosing a meal but good fried chicken just sounded so appealing and most restaurants only offer fried boneless.“
“I ordered catering for my husbands 30th birthday party. The food was absolutely amazing! The service from the beginning was wonderful, all my questions were answered. They were very professional and we will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much!!!“
“Stopped in for dinner with my partner and we had margaritas and tortas and shared a plate of nachos. The Nachos and Tortas were HUGE and delicious. The bread was especially good. They were so big, we had to take half home. The lady working was very nice and explained what ingredients were in each torta. We are definitely returning for dinner again soon.“
“Visited La Sorpresa today for baked goods and a plate for lunch, cafeteria-syulr. Baked goods were fresh. I loved the churros. The plate I ordered had white rice and beans, chicharrones, and I added a sausage on the side. Very filling. They do update the menu frequently. Staff doesn't really speak English, but they were fast and prompt. Although there is a lot of seating in the bakery, La Sorpresa to me feels more like a grab and go spot, especially when it is located on a busy main street. I'd definitely go back for another quick bite!“
“Definitely the best Mexican food in the region. I've been about a dozen times. The ingredients are always fresh; the portions are generous, and flavor is outstanding. Avoid C**potle if you live close enough to get to a Baja's; the difference is night and day.“
“Ok first off this is America nothings Authentic. So to the thumb warriors back off. I came here because the reviews were bad so I had to try it on my own... I've been here a few times and spend 100's so let's bullet point the negative1) someone mentioned the rice was blan .The rice does have a mild flavor however there's so many other flavors going on if the rice was seasoned it be too much so the rice was perfect 2) the pico de gallo technically is supposed to be onion tomato cilantro and a couple of the herbs. The pico was fresh and flavor full. 3) the proteins for All season to perfection the meat was tender 4) the fries and tenders were great. 5 ) oh unless you're a plain Jane I honestly don't know why anybody would find the burritos distasteful each item on their burrito bar has a seasoning of its own this is one of the cases where you should try it before you knock it. I'm glad I tried it and as I said earlier I have been here four times today is my fifth time everybody is friendly the restaurant is clean the bathroom is clean the staff wear gloves. I post a picture of my burrito but I already started eating it.Returned again happy ?Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is in a strip mall the strip mall does have a handicap ramp in the doors are wide enough to access a wheelchair however they are not automatic push handicap doors“
“Best churros I have ever had, specifically the ones with the strawberry filling. Tacos are loaded generously and are flavorful (recommend the birria tacos and the Al pastor tacos). The horchata and mariñon taste very good. Food is always fresh and staff is always kind.“
“I went here with my friends after climbing and literally hits the top 3 burritos I have ever had (I think the best tbh). The tortillas are handmade on site and seared which adds a nice crunchy texture. The cheese was so good because it had an amazing pull and bite like a cheese pizza. I don't remember the rest because I was in heaven. To keep this from being too long, the food and the owners are amazing. I'm definitely coming back!“
“Who doesn't love a good burrito bowl? Seriously the best comfort food lately! We were in the area and looking for something quick and delicious for dinner. Yelp helped us find The Burrito Bowl Express. The toppings were so fresh, and absolutely everything was amazing! Probably one of the best burrito bowls there is! With any topping and protein you could want, there is plenty to choose from! So get in here and load up your bowl creation today!“
“For my first time eating here the staff was super nice the restaurant was super clean there was music playing the decor was eye pleasing and the food was hot super tasty and delicious ? also loved the fact that they had Coke in a glass bottle definitely going to revisit to try some of the other food on the menu!!“
“The food here is soooo good! I've been looking for a place that serves authentic birria tacos and this place is it!! The flavors were to die for and the loaded my tacos up with the birria meat and also had consome! The works here are also very friendly and provide excellent service! 10/10would definitely recommend!!“
“Stopped here on a whim. I generally steer clear of Mexican food because cilantro is usually mixed into everything... HOWEVER I am SO glad that I did! The atmosphere is that of most fast-ish food places, only cuter.They make your food to order, including sin cilantro, and the service is with a smile. My bomb wrap was literally the BOMB! Baja's is definitely going to be a regular eatery for me while I'm in the area!“
“My favorite Mexican restaurant! Everything I order is always fresh and delicious. Few of my favorites queso, birra tacos, rice and beans and enchiladas. The queso is absolutely amazing so cheesy and delicious, birra tacos are my new favorite so tasty and lots of meat. I've been on nights where they have a mariachi band and that's always a fun time!“
