Tuxpan Taqueria leans towards authentic rather than trendy. I can respect that…read more But the pricing feels out of proportion to what you actually get. The tacos and burritos are small, and while they're good, they're not at a level where the cost makes sense. At this price point, I expected either noticeably higher-end ingredients or something that really stands out beyond a solid taco/burrito. It ends up feeling like you're paying premium prices for a pretty standard portion and experience. Not bad food at all, just not a place I'd go to regularly given the value

Steely Dan playing as we walked in. Oh- you have my attention!…read more To be honest, Tuxpan has had my attention since they were nominated for a James Beard award and only like 7 minutes away from my house. This past Saturday- it was the day. First and foremost I grew up in Pawtucket and if memory serves me correctly this used to be a drive thru photo hut? Pawtucket tap water out of crate and barrel glasses. Lipstick on a pig! Thick chips (needs salt), super fresh guacamole. Win for the guac! 2 tacos. 1. Birria: it's a dirty taco. It's $3 and change for the consomme! (What?!) Lacked flavor. Needs a little something. I added lime and sour cream. 2. Asada: again, missing flavor. I did have 2 bites of their $18 cheese quesadilla (totally overpriced) I did like their cheese but it sat in a small puddle of liquid. Refried beans were very creamy but needed salt. I was left confused over the nomination...

This restaurant is family owned so we were happy to support a local business, we were greeted upon arrival, they have an extensive menu of not just tacos but soups, sandwiches and other delicious traditional Latin dishes! We ordered a chorizo torta, the ramen soup and fajitas, side of fries, we also purchased jaritos tamarid and a Diet Coke. The food cake out quickly and it was all delicious. We ate in and the gentlemen who took care of us brought us the extra utensils and plates we needed to share. Very good service and the place was super inviting, well decorated with lively plants and Latin wall decor. We definitely felt welcomed and enjoyed the music in the background. Clean bathroom and happened to notice they have a hall you can rent for parties great to know. Adorable place with plenty of seating if you choose to dine in.

As in those other locations, service is friendly and quick, without making diners feel rushed. Water glasses are refilled, and straws were provided without having to be requested. The Pawtucket location feels better designed from a noise perspective - booths have high backs and there's enough separation between tables to avoid having to raise your voice to be heard across the table. Restrooms are clearly marked, clean, and overseen by the cute "musician" perfectly designed ed for kitschy photos. Our food was very good, as we expected. What we chose today seemed to have a slightly sweeter salsa and mole than either of us remembered, though, and maybe a bit less heat. For that reason alone - purely a personal preference - I deducted one star.

We wanted to try everything in the menu because we saw what people were eating and it all looked amazing! We ordered 3 tacos, chilaquiles, sopes and a Gordita. The tacos were all good but if I had to rank them I would say 1 al pastor but it has a slight kick to it, carnitas was a close second and then the carne asada. The chilaquiles were so good and my husband was happy and I was happy I didn't have to cook them lol. The sopes were good just bigger than what I'm used to so if you're use to smaller ones, don't order more than one because these are big! I ate the whole Gordita and almost forgot to breathe lol but I did order a side of refried beans and I added them to my Gordita and it was just all good!!! As a Mexican from LA, I've been searching for Mexican food all over Rhode Island and I definitely found a place worth driving over 30 minutes to. They take Apple Pay, major cards and cash. I love how friendly both ladies were and how patient they were with me and how slow I ordered all of my food.

We attended a small graduation party here this evening, and everything from start to finish was outstanding. The restaurant was spotless, beautifully festive, and had such a welcoming atmosphere. The service was absolutely top level -- attentive, friendly, and organized all night long. But the real star was the food. Our party of 10 all received the correct meals, which is impressive on its own, but every single dish came out hot, fresh, comforting, and packed with flavor. Not one complaint from anyone at the table. This was one of those rare dining experiences where everything just clicked. I honestly cannot wait to come back again.

Inside is small with only a few tables, and a counter front with a large menu displaying the food options in Spanish. They provided menus that had options in both English and Spanish (but it was obvious the restaurant catered more to a Spanish speaking audience). That being said, the staff was extremely friendly and had no problem communicating in English. Food selection included tacos, quesadillas, nachos, burritos, and other Mexican fare. Most everything had significant choices as to what protein type you might want on it. Foot quality was amazing. We had only a small variety of food choices in our party of 6, but everyone agreed their food was high quality and tasted great. Overall, if you want a no frills option for high quality Mexican food at a good price, I don't think you're going to find much better.

This place is small and does fill up but seems like most do take out. Parking is a bit tight and limited to street parking, but on a rainy day, there was plenty available. Staff was very friendly and attentive to getting us drinks, more tacos, and checking in on us~ my family speaks Spanish, and staff are fluent and native speakers of Spanish. Central fall caters to a mostly Hispanic population, so it's very welcoming. My partner speaks english, and with his limited Spanish, he ordered with no issue and the staff understood him well. My burrito was customized to my preference which had the cheese, rice, avocado, and no crema. Sounds very restrictive if that's just how my diet is, and I'm so glad they complied and gave me a delicious burrito! The meat was savory and tasty and the table had a container with three different sauces. The hottest was the dark red, and it was super good! I actually finished the whole meal and didn't feel too heavy. It was satisfying. The tacos were tasty, messy, but good. My partner ordered two more and he was too focused on his food to take a picture. For drinks, I got a seasonal drink called Atole Chanpurrado, which is made from corn flour, corn starch, and milk along with cinnamon. There are many versions, but this restaurant had the traditional one. It was super tasty and warm, very enjoyable on a cold rainy day. It was very homey!
