Anyways a great grab and go for pastelitos and smoothies! Sometimes there's a bit of a wait because of high volume, but it's worth it. Small inside since they expanded their kitchen, but there's still some room with tables and chairs. read more

OmG I love comming to this place. There's nothing you can order that you won't like. Who doesn't like Dominican style anything?

2 food items and a drink for $12. Pernil sandwich ("small," $6), pollo/queso pastelito, tamarind juice. Really happy with my lunch today. Couldn't have enjoyed it more than I did! read more

Ven aquí cada dos semanas. El personal es muy amable y te hará sentir como en casa. Accidentalmente habían dado mi pedido a otra persona, sin embargo, inmediatamente me compensaron proporcionándome un pastelito. Esto realmente demuestra su hospitalidad y compromiso para dirigir un buen negocio. Definitivamente volveré. read more

When I first tried their sandwich my taste buds exploded that how amazing their food was, they are nice ppl no sence of rudeness in their service read more

Yo ordene un sándwich, y una orden de papas con pechurinas sabía más a sal que a pollo también ordene 2 batidos. Pague casi 40$. No hombre no cocinan bien y llamo pregunto por el dueño o supervisor me dicen que no está solo la encargada llamo le menciono el disgusto que vengo cansado de mi trabajo paso buscando algo para comer y me salen con 2 libras de sal. Nombre tengan más cuidado. La encargada no me pide disculpas por el Inconveniente y me dijo que más, le contesté que esperaba una disculpa de su parte me contestó que si quería otra comida y no era el hecho de otra comida sino volver a salir de mi casa y me siento que no hay buen trato al cliente. Hoy ustedes perdieron un cliente por eso también perderán otros. Sean más coherentes si no cocinan bien por lo menos acepten. Siempre también hay unas mujeres amargadas con la carota de piedra como que uno regalado estuviera pidiendo. read more

Amazing sandwiches (huge!!!) juices and prices!! Will be visiting every time we're in the area for the zoo. Excited to try more juice flavors. read more

Come here for fresh smoothies. The inside decor is bare bones but the quality of the smoothies and empanadas is legit. Smoothies are $5 and delicious. Empanadas come in at $1 each. read more

THE FOOD IS SO GOOOHHHDDD. They take a normal amount of time and the costumer serves gets you in and out FAST.

The smoothies are great here! Great tasting, the quantity is perfect and the price is awesome and reasonable. We ordered a "Jugo 5 frutas" - that is a 5 fruit mix and we also ordered a papaya milkshake. Both were super tasty. The large size of their smoothies are huge! Our smoothies totaled to $8 so we grabbed two postelitos. Street parking is available read more

I love their papaya shakes! So good. Also the pastelitos are super fresh and delicious! Only gave 4 stars because some of the staff can use a attitude adjustments but no big deal you can look past that! read more

The food here was absolutely delicious!! Very flavorful!! The atmosphere leaves something to be desired but at the fair prices it's worth going!! I think the large sandwiches are a great value!! read more

I had a really fun time checking this place out and I strongly recommend the smoothies, especially the mango and passion fruit. The vibe here is definitely authentic, as most of the patrons and customers are almost primarily Spanish-speakers. Most of the smoothies are made with real fruit and are incredibly affordable ($4 for smoothies, $2 for juices). I did end up trying the guava juice, which was primarily made from an incredibly sweet syrup and I ended throwing it away...mostly to spare my pancreas from secreting a lifetime's worth of insulin after one cup. I heard that the panini are incredibly large, but I was very content with my smoothie and may come back if I'm super hungry. This place does take credit cards. read more

Fruteria Cafeteria Frias on Broad St. serves Dominican pressed sandwiches, plates, pastelitos, juices, and shakes at low prices. It seems pretty popular--they had a consistent line from 3-4pm--so I was excited to try it out. The jugo de chinola (passion fruit juice) was amazing. I felt like I was on a beach somewhere. I'm pretty sure they use real fruit since there were little shards of passion fruit seeds in the drink. Plus it's only $2, although you can upgrade to a shake for $4. I wasn't expecting to get an entire loaf of bread's worth of sandwich when I ordered the $7 Cubano... definitely enough for two moderately hungry people to share! They reheat the shredded pork in the microwave before putting it on a sandwich, so your sandwich won't be cold in the middle. It's not the most traditional Cubano: no pickles, and they use ketchup instead of mustard, but after all, the pork is the most important part. Even though I liked the food, I'm not sure if I would come back here because the service was really bad. I missed two buses waiting to get out of here because everyone was ignoring me. I saw my sandwich sit around behind the counter for 10 minutes before someone brought it over to me. Then one of the employees stood around and deliberately wiped down like 20 trays with Windex (?) while I was sitting two feet away clearly trying to pay. OK, I get it, ignore the gringa. Cleanliness doesn't really bother me but definitely don't come here if that's something you value. You won't find a hairnet or a glove in this place, and I kept seeing one girl touch her hair and then make people's drinks. I might come back here for the juice or an unbeatably cheap lunch, but I'll definitely order to-go next time. read more

Cafeteria Frias - A whole loaf's worth of Cubano for $7... I think I died of pork consumption - Desserts Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

This place is absolutely fantastic! Prices are great and portions/sizes are generous. They have an amazing selection of smoothies, juices, sandwiches,pastelitos, tequinos, ect. Ever time I go I try a new sandwich and juice. My favorites thus far are the steak sandwich(which is like a Dominican "panini") and passion fruit oatmeal juice! I'm telling you that once you go here you'll want to keep going back! I'm totally hooked!!! read more

Hidden gem in the city of Providence. With so many restaurants to choose from on Broad Street, I am glad I was referred here. The Pastelitos here are AMAZING!!!! Shrimp, chicken and cheese, beef, ham and cheese. There are so many options and for $1, why not try them all?! The smoothies are also delicious, the mango and passion fruit are my favorite, they are flavorful and made within minutes. There are tons of sandwiches to choose from, I've personally had the Cuban & again DELICIOUS! Very very flavorful. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite. read more

I've been picking up large jugs of pina coladas and adding rum, garnish and little umbrellas at home.

Located right on Broad street this place is amazing ... they make spanish style sandwiches on a panini press. they have about 7 different sandwiches to choose from ... but they also specialize on fresh juices and also fruit smoothies . my personal favorite is the passion fruit smoothie .. next time i go i will take a picture of the menu.. the staff is really friendly and also have great suggestions for fruit smoothies ... read more

This is my favorite smoothie and juice spot in Providence. The smoothies and juice are made with real fruit, including hard to find fresh tropical fruits like passion fruit. The sandwiches and other food I've tried here have been a good and inexpensive lunch, but I come here mainly for the smoothies. Nice spot, prompt service, consistently delicious. read more

The smoothies are SOOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!!! I just wish they opened earlier than 8 am so I could get one before work.

I love this place ! The Mayo-kechu is the best in RI and the Cubano is to die for. The pastelitos WOW and the natural juices are the best. Nothing I could complain about here ! read more

My husband picked up some lunch from this spot today so i can't speak on the service. He ordered a couple of cubans, 2 smoothies and a few pastelitios. The cubans were not authentic. No mustard or pickles and I'm not sure what type of cheese they used but it wasn't swiss. My husband who is far less pickier than me thought his was meh and so did I. The pastelitos were dry and tasted like they had been previously frozen. They were also a no go for us. The highlight of our meal were the smoothies. I had the papaya and he had the guava and we were both surprised how good they were. Probably won't return for the food but can see myself coming back often for the smoothies. read more

Incredible and delicious pressed sandwiches, empanadas, juices and smoothies. $7 gets you basically a double sandwich, easily twice the size you'd expect. Can't recommend it more. read more

Every time i come to Road Island we visit this place. It is fast, clean, affordable and delicious. I would recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely delicious food here. The sandwiches, juices,smoothies and pastelitos are very well made, taste great and they are inexpensive! Most of everything here is under 10 dollars. I live around the area and also come here! You can also call ahead and place an order to go pick it up bcuz it does get very busy in there! read more

I went here yesterday and ordered a chinola, complete sandwich and some pastelitos. The chinola is always great, I highly suggest it on a hot summers day. The complete sandwich was huge and shared between me and another person and we struggled to finish it. The pastelitos as always were delicious and I had a great overall experience. read more

Authentic Dominican style sandwiches made fresh everyday !!! And the best fruit smoothies in town !!

Lines are crazy during peek hours and unless you say you need to order they won't even notice you. The food is amazing however ! read more

This is a very unprofessional establishment, do not waste your time going to this hole in the wall cafeteria. They signed up with restaurants.com just to get free advertisement and will not take their certificates.I went here with my daughters with a coupon from restaurant.com and the owner refuse to honor it, he said he never gave them permission to put his restaurant on their website, he must be on their site for free advertising,It was a terrible experience. The place was kind of dirty and dingy too. read more

Bad place the pastelitos had mold on them the sandwich meet( bistec) was cold and the staff was horrible the girls that they have working there are so damn disrespectful. And loud. Not a good place to go.. read more

Love the food and juices. I don't come here often because it's a little far from where I live but I definitely would if it was closer. They used ketchup instead of mustard in the cubano which I think is great because I'm not a fan of mustard, and the chinola(passion fruit) juice is the best thing ever. The pastelitos are delicious and taste even better with a juice or a smoothie. The food is not expensive which is a plus, though the service is a bit slow I definitely recommend. read more

Love the food but the customer service in this place is horrible..... been in this place twice, both times they got my order wrong when I talk to the owner he told me that everytime I go there's a problem and maybe I shouldn't go into his restaurant anymore. ... I don't think it's my fault that the people that they have in this place are more interested in socializing than providing attention to their customers read more
