“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 food was wonderful, tasty. It came out quick and hot. The spanish rice was fluffy and spicy. Thr service was friendly and made you feel comfortable. Absolutely love the atmosphere. The wall mural is beautifully done and each time you look at it you find something new. Definitely get a tamarin margarita.“
“My fiance and I dont really like mexican food, but he had a craving for fajitas and we didnt want to go to a chain restaurant. We are both so glad we tried this place!!! Everything was absolutely delicious, will definitely be adding to our regular list of restaurants that we frequent.“

“La Pinata has become out weekly favorite. Mickey, Armando and their entire team works very hard to make sure you have a pleasant experience. Restaurant is very clean, the food taste the same everytime. Perfectly and authenticly seasoned.They have parking lot and off street parking is easy. I would highly recommend L Pinata, it's the best Mexican I have had on the East Coast.You are missing out if you don't try.“
“From the RGV in Texas, probably the best Mexican food in the Northeast I've had so far. Delicious food, the people are kind and friendly, it's a little loud but if you don't mind that, it's a great place for delicious food.“
“I used to have to their No Kingstown location in order to get authentic Mexican food. So excited that they opened up another location near Oakland Beach. Same great food. Stop on by, you won’t be disappointed. They are hard workers! Aim to please!Vegetarian options: My daughter ? is vegetarian so I can bring her here“
“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.“
“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.“
“Another Birria test. They passed. So delicious, crunchy and cheesy with flavorful caldo. A side of fried plantains offered a nice sweet contrast. Booths are tight quarters but at least you won't be slouching over your food . All in all a great lunch that makes me want to return.“
“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..“
“"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!“
“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!“
“Everything about this place is phenomenal. The food is to die for. The people that work there are so kind. The atmosphere is welcoming. And price is reasonable. The only downside is parking is a bit tight but there is parking option down the road.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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 “
“Been coming here for years. I know the owner personally. He’s such a hard worker and a dedicated person. He really takes pride in his food and the food is delicious. There’s no question as to who we pick when We are looking for dinner or a restaurant To cater our party. I highly recommend any other salads, fried chicken, tacos, steak, tacos, and their new Korean pork taco“
“If you like Mexican food you have to come here. You'll thank yourself later. The Cochinita Pibil is like pork flavored soft butter. Neeza is family owned and everyone here is very friendly and welcoming so much so you won't want to leave. The decor is cozy, funky, retro-modern with the perfect tempo of Mexican music. Very relaxing. Wallet friendlyTequila flights...need I say more? We are working our way through the menu and loving it.“
“Hands down the best Mexican in New England. The tacos were perfect and stuffed full of meat and cheese and onions. The chimichangas are huge and super tasty. Nachos need more cheese and more even distribution but the flavors were so so good. Thanks guys!!“
“Probably the best Mexican food in Providence and the best tacos I've ever had. Everything is so delicious and affordable too. Service is always so quick, but not rushed.Dietary restrictions: Really good for gluten freeParking: Can be tough to find a close spot sometimes, but there's usually something available“
“Excellent catering capability ! The online ordering process was very easy & accurate. I got a confirmation call from a manager in the office. I stopped by the location on Metacom to verify the tray sizes and packaging. The staff was super friendly. On my party date I revisited the Metacom site. Everything was ready and pipng hot, right on time. The staff loaded the items in the car for me. No leaks, no spills on the drive home -- perfect packaging. The taste, well it Baja's ... great spice, great quality, all sorts of extra toppings. The catering was a hit ! Everyone enjoyed it - thanks Baja's.“
“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“
“This place is awesome! Went here the first time a couple weeks ago on date night. So good. The waitstaff is so sweet and the restaurant is so lovely inside—so colorful and full of life!We had enchiladas, tacos, and burritos. I had a couple yummy cocktails—great!“
“We've been coming here for a few years now. I can't believe I've never written a review! Every time we come to El Mariachi, the food and service are phenomenal. Local go to Mexican food spot for us! Everything is fresh and has a multi layered flavor profile. Come in and enjoy.“
“Incredible little spot. You will not regret getting the soy chorizo and potato option in a quesadilla. The people running this place are super friendly too & the menu has consistently fair pricing. Parking is street parking in Cranston but still not hard to find honestly. The menu is simple but creative. The food is fresh. I highly recommend trying this place at least 3x!“
“The location at 10 Sims ave is huge. This is much bigger than the location on Ives street. The food is always excellent and the staff are super friendly. On Saturdays a farmer market is open at the Farm Fresh HUB. You can't go wrong with the fried fish taco or the chicken taco. My husband loves all of the burrito options.“
“Staff were super friendly and atmosphere was super chill!! Great place for parties or just pulling up to the bar and meeting new people. Food was made to order and delish!! Burrito was perfectly sized and the beans were so flavorful. Will have to try the quac next time cause I was hella full with tbt bean dip and carne asada burrito!!“

Fresh ingredients for you to choose from to build your own burrito, tacos, etc.Kid-friendliness: Options for sodas and french fries, as well as dessert they'll love.“
“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!!!!“
“Best Mexican in RI. If you're craving traditional Mexican flavors look no further. Originally went to the one on Thayer St for years. Now the Johnston location is closest for me. The staff is all super friendly, they remember regulars, like myself. Clean, warm and inviting atmosphere. Decently priced. You get a lot of food for your money.“
“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.“
“Great food and friendly service. It’s a little hard to tell it’s a restaurant when you’re outside, but hopefully they’ll get a sign up soon. Great breakfast options and less crowded than the other spots in the area. 5 stars, highly recommended.“
“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.“
“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“
“The food is delicious here! But beware, they have changed ownership and pricing has gone up a bit. I was taken aback by the tab when i picked up... also the signage is not appropriate on the street, but they are working on that I think... They are also not called Papi's Tacos anymore, its La Familia Tacos.“
“My wife and I had a wonderful time thanks to our bartender, Nathaly. We had the mezcal negroni and it was a complex and unique take on the classic Negroni. Very cool vibe and great music.Review part II: My wife and I came back the following night for margarita Monday. Rosy, the bartender, was awesome and super nice. She made great cocktails. Maria, the general manager, made us feel like we were at home. Great people and vibes!“
“Came here today for lunch. I was craving some authentic tacos and decided to give this a shot. I'm glad I did. Not only are they friendly but they also are very affordable and delicious. I ordered the Al pastor, the Barbacoa, and the carnitas. The carnitas were my favorite but the tacos were filled with meat and plenty of fresh cilantro and onion and lime. We ordered 6 tacos and they came out to $16.00. The truck is a bit unassuming and it's located in a parking lot across from the supermarket but great food. I'll definitely be back. There was a bit of a language barrier but lucky for me I'm well versed in ordering my food in Spanish lol. Definitely give them a try. They are cash only.“
“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!“
“FYI, not a fancy restaurant but a very friendly place, Im not gonna lie when it comes to tacos i am very picky but these small restaurant at a corner street is my happy place, every weekend my family and i go there to enjoy a delicious tacos.!Parking: Front of the restaurant or across, street parkingWheelchair accessibility: At a corner with accessibility for wheelchair“
“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.“
“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 cannot recommend this restaurant enough! It's become a weekly tradition for my boyfriend and me to indulge in their dinner combo grande, which never disappoints. The chips and salsa are always fresh and delicious, and the decor of the restaurant perfectly matches the vibrant Mexican cuisine that they serve. It's no wonder this place has easily become one of my top 5 favorite spots to eat at. What's more, they even include salsa and chips with take-out orders, unlike most places. Even if you're short on time like me, I highly suggest giving this place a try - either dine-in or take-out - you won't regret it!“
“It was so nice going to a restaurant and being able to order anything off the menu. We got the memela, burrito, Chile relleno, and churros and chocolate with dulce de leche. I would recommend all of them, it was a lot of food though, good for leftovers.“
“The food was very good & glad the person I was w/ chose to go here for lunch. I ordered a steak bomb plate w/ lettuce, tomatoes, American cheese & bacon (gotta love they offered bacon!) along w/ an order of cajun fries and a fountain drink Dr Pepper. I will definitely go there again!“
“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.“
“(Translated by Google) I have bought tamales from this bakery and I like them very much. The cashier helped my friend and I by letting us know about the "for rent" sign on the door that we had not seen. Very kind. Sufficient parking. There are tables to sit at. Place is small but cozy.(Original)Yo he comprado tamales de este panadería y me gustan muchísimo . La cajera me ayudo a mi amiga y a mi dejándonos saber sobre el anuncio de “se renta “ en la puerta que no habíamos visto . Muy gentiles . Parqueo suficiente . Hay mesitas donde sentarse . Lugar es pequeño pero acogedor .“
“My partner and I were craving tacos so we looked in the area and decided on trying this place and we were so glad we did. I got two Al Pastor tacos and a Horchata. The filling was juicy and flavorful while the tortilla was moist and the perfect texture.It's a small place, and even though we came around 2:30pm, it was still pretty busy with people coming in to eat. The service was friendly and very speedy. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd love to come have tacos here again.“
“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!“
“There's is no place better than here! I have a friend who shares all the places to get delicious food at and she suggested here. She says she drives half an hour to go here. They have so many things I want to order on the menu. Everything was delicious. The fajita plate was huge! I hope they keep everything the same because I will continue to go when I am in the area.“
