Friendliest service, amazing Dominican Food Wait time is always about 15 minutes.. if you pay in cash it's a little cheaper because they have a fee if you use a card. It's very cozy inside with intimate 2 person face to face seating. Will keep coming back as long as they have business. read more

A guy from the DR told me about this place, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Cuban Sandwich, which was large. Nicely toasted, but the meat inside was still cold and not very tasty. Got some fried yucca (crispy, nicely fried and hot) and a beef empanada (nice and warm but not very tasty inside). Overall a great value...things are dirt cheap, but the food was just OK. They sell mofongo and pastelon (Fridays), so I might go again and try these Caribbean delicacies. read more

Ada's Creations - Cuban Sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Got the pernil sandwich so good the bread was crunchy when you bit it and the meat was very tasty. My husband got mofongo with chicharron and loved it which says a lot because he is a picky eater. Also brought a sandwich back for my mother in law and she raved about it ! Well worth the 45 min drive from Worc we will be back soon ! read more

Ada's Creations - Pernil sandwich Pork with Swiss Cheese Sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Best spot in Providence! They have the best cheese pastelitos, hands down! Great customer service!

The two-story brick building, just before Broad crosses 95 (for a second time) is where Ada's-To-Go, El Macuto Restaurante, and Tinaja Bar culminate as Ada's Creations - the city's most efficiently managed use of space. The first floor houses, in extreme fluorescence, a Caribbean and Latin-American sandwich shop as well as the starkly contrasted bar and dancehall appropriately named "the jar." Upstairs a low-key dining area and full bar can be reserved for functions, where members of the community are encouraged to organize, feast and live well. read more

Owner made my order incorrectly, when I called and asked if she can make it the correct way she said "no he said cubano, not pernil" because I order a pernil sándwich. The wrapper said pernil but it had ham. When asked if she can make a new one she said "take off the ham". Don't argue with your customers when this isn't the first time you've messed an order up. read more

You've driven past Ada's dozens of times on your journeys to and from Roger Williams Park, but the exterior doesn't compel you to stop. Fortunately, Yelp exists and others have gone before to reassure you that it's worth stopping. I went with my friend, Robert, who has eaten in every restaurant in Rhode Island (I'm guessing), and who speaks Spanish. This restaurant is Dominican (like its owners) and in addition to a lovely bakery, it has both made-to-order items and a cafeteria-like set of chafing dishes. A woman I assume to be Ada spoke English quite well and challenged me to use my limited Spanish, in a most congenial way. She explained all of the dishes. I settled on white rice, goat and sweet plantains, as well as a beef empanada. Like many other posts on here state, the food wasn't as hot as we Americans expect it to be. But it was delicious. The television playing a religious (Easter?) move above my head was nice background, prompting me every so often to peer up to see bad acting, but I could see it turning people off. With a bottle of water and Robert's bread pudding (moist and yummy), the total was around $13. I would say the serving of goat could have been more generous, but all in all I was pleased with the meal. I'll definitely go back. Apparently, Ada's also caters or provides large dishes to go, for large dinners. read more

Best Latin food I've had in a long time. I've been looking for an easy place to order pastels and croquetas ever since I moved to RI from Miami and this is the place. I've ordered delivery several times and it's always good! I also ordered the chicharrones de Pollo and they were delicious and authentic. Do yourself a favor and order from Ada's read more

I've gotten food from here twice, and both times the food itself and the service have made me a fan. Ada's is an unassuming, Dominican spot much like others on Broad St. It has a counter full of hot chafing dishes of ever-changing Latino food: rice, beans, every kind of fried and stewed meat available. There's also a refrigerated section with a variety of different desserts, and a small heater with pastelitos and other small, fried savories. But I come here for a good lunchtime sandwich. I always get a simple pressed cheese (American, although they have other options) with everything (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mayo, ketchup, and mustard) on it. Sure, this isn't highbrow, but it's pressed into oblivion and has so much yummy fat it leaks through the bag. The bread is the right amount of crispy, crunchy, and chewy and everything inside is melted into creamy deliciousness. Plus it hits you with flavor and is $5 flat. It's about the size of a footlong from Subway but somehow immensely more satisfying. I'm a vegetarian, but I know others who swear by adding some ham to this. I'm not sure who the woman behind the counter is but she speaks impeccable English & Spanish, and when I approached her in English acted like it was no big deal, which is sort of rare in this part of town. Definitely made me feel comfortable and welcome. She is also extremely polite. There are some tables and chairs for eating here, and a TV blasting daytime soaps, but I always take my sandwich to go. It takes about 7 minutes to make and is perfect as a grab and go on my lunchtime break. read more

A few weeks ago me and my family had placed a cake order. My mother spoke with Ada's daughter about the size and shape of the cake. I told her the design and frosting type we wanted. She told me to send her a pic of the cake design so I did. Before leaving she repeated back the order we agreed on. It was a 2lb sheet/rectangle cake with that design in buttercream. A head of time my mom simply asked if we could get the gender reveal color in the cake. To be told, "you can't do that. That's what balloons are for." My mom told her a few times and was told that me (her daughter) didn't know what I was talking about to request that. Saying it couldn't be done.. People do it all the time! We also wanted to simplify the cake design a bit and was charged extra. When my mother questioned was told she dying for a few bucks and all just absolute rude responses. You're a business! People will have questions about THEIR money. Can't give a simple answer? They kept switching up the reasons to explain the charges. On top of that, turns out they had write apparently 1.5lb round cake.. What?! We had a few witness and you READ back that order that day. When mom had gone this time she had rude service by both asking what her problem is when she is simply trying to see what's going on with her order they clearly got wrong. Despite all that, my mom continued to keep the order since we were busy with party planning. We're in the car she hands me the receipt I noticed buttercream is crossed out. So I asked if it was still buttercream since the person it was for wanted that. Nope turns out they crossed it because of all the changes we were making? Again, nothing was changed aside wanting a simplified design! Yet We wanted a buttercream 2lb rectangle cake! She somehow despite speaking with us and what we thought writing stuff down. Wrote 1.5lb round cake? Then changing the frosting just because. To then tell us if we did want to do buttercream after all we were to pay $30-$40 extra?! Beautiful part is that we got our money back and I luckily had time to make it myself. Will I be back? Nope! There's a way to treat your customers and this is not it. What's wrong with accepting that sometimes you can be wrong? read more

This bakery has a little cafe front area with a few tables, and I literally ran across it while wandering lost trying to get back onto the interstate while driving from Quebec City to Washington DC. And I'm glad I ran across it, since I had never tried Dominican food before. The decor isn't much, chintzy but tidy and homey. The food selection appears to kind of depend on what they're cooking at the moment, and what's coming out of the oven, so I ended up just building my order on what they had on hand. As I recall, I got some little meat pies, several kinds of Dominican sausage, and some potato salad, along with some traditional juice drink. The food was great, would have made great picnic food, and though availability was spotty, the overall menu looked great. In fairness, I caught them in the slow time between lunch and dinner, so I think they were less meal-focused at that moment. Overall pretty pleased with the food quality, ambience is a bit goofy but cute, and price is great. read more

It's a gamble when going to this establishment. One day the pastelitos, Quipe, empanadas, etc. Are good and the next they are completely terrible. I don't know how they are still in business and how they have 4 star rating. I've been going here since I was 5 and since I was 16 they have been going DOWN HILL as far as service and food. I went today and the food was definitely NOT FRESH and I asked if they could simply remake it, the lady WAS NOT HAVING IT AND SAID IT WAS FRESH PERIOD. F for customer service "honey" read more

We had a cuban sandwich & it was delicious! I would definitely go back just for that. I also tried a couple pastelitos which were made fresh & also good. We had an order of mofongo con camarones, it was okay, it was a little dry. Good prices. We forgot our keys they found them & kept safe. Good people. read more

Great sandwiches! Crisp and juicy Cuban or melt in your mouth steak and cheese, trust me and try it

The sandwiches here are super crisp and large enough to fill you for majority of the day. They're a little oily, however, worth the price and the taste is irresistible. read more

My office ordered lunch to be delivered, they said 15 minutes and showed up like an hour later......but I must say it was worth the wait. I got the Cubano sandwich and it was delicious. Everyone was please and we will definitely be ordering from Ada's again. read more

Never returning to this place ever again awful customer service and multiple calls made and was hung up on. They take the wrong orders. I highly recommend never to go here ever. These are the type of spanish people that give spanish people a bad name. read more

Sandwich was very good. The chicken had a lime flavor with it which was pretty good. Also had a meat pie and found it was pretty good.

the cubanos are slamming. the fried chicken is moist. this place doesnt need yelp reviews, the neighborhood knows whats good

Stopped in while driving through the area. It's slightly out of the way but holy crap their sandwiches are incredible and big. We grabbed the works and the Dominican and they were both perfectly done. Will make every effort to come back! read more
