    Pastor was good! Green chile not spicy at all.
    Michelle M.

    The food was just okay. Had the fish tacos and the pastor tacos. Something about the fish tacos that didn't taste fresh. Maybe the old lettuce. The fish was tasty. The pastor tacos were good!! Better than the fish tacos. The fried plátanos were dried up and not that sweet. I would come back for the pastor tacos.

    Solid Mexican foods. Taco, burrito, bowl. Not trying to 'fancy' it up. The menu is on boards above the prep area. Place your order on the left by stating your intention (tacos? burrito? etc.). In a fashion similar to another burrito locations, a staff member will 'build' you order from the items available in metal containers over warming or cooling trays. Think 'subway' style if you will. We grabbed an order to-go, but there are plenty of booth seats available inside, and a couple small bistro style seats out front. They play Mexican style music inside. Very festive. No table service. Bus your table when done. Prices are good. My burrito was stuffed and I enjoyed it's simplicity. Make it as basic or complex as you like. They have lots of choices.

    Wet Burrito with red sauce
    Arthur S.

    Holy goodness! Wet Burrito with steak, rice, pickled onion, jalapeños, olives, black beans, mild salsa, hot sauce. On top the red sauce and shredded cheese! Buckle up, spicy to perfection! The chips were a perfect match and so was the jarritos natural sugar cane Mexican soda. Very clean, staff are awesome, definitely will be back for more!

    Birria Tacos. Slaps
    Eric M.

    Solidly delicious. Looking for Birria tacos in RI? If you're not you should be. Came for those and now I'm into more items on the menu. Will be back...

    If you order online be prepared to wait 20-25 mins. Place is beyond unorganized, and terrible attitude.

    Visited the TREE HOUSE TAVERN last night as I was stuck for a couple of hours with phone repair…read morebeing completed at Best Buy. I was thrilled to stop by and had a wonderful experience at the bar. I have a small appetite so I chose to have the side order of seafood fried rice and it did not disappoint. It was so absolutely delicious. The shrimp were plentiful and tender. The colorful variety of vegetables were fresh and the seasonings were incredible. So good... as I said, that I had to order another "side" to take home! I did spoil myself with some sticky toffee pudding of which I brought home leftovers as well. Owners Michael and Ailine were very thoughtful and said hello! I recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly to an individual, couple or family. It's a pleasure to dine there !

    Let me start with saying the ambiance and vibes are a solid 4-5 stars. Imagine a flowery riff on…read more"Alice in Wonderland" with cute, intimate tables spread out among a homelike space. Be warned, it's on the more expensive side for dining and may be a coin toss for "is it worth it" for those that enjoy a night out but also looking for value. Food was a mixed bag for us.... Starting with the smashburger was genuinely disappointing as the burger itself was dry and advertised as a "French onion" smashburger that failed to deliver any of the rich, savory flavor we expected with a name like "French onion smashburger". The hot honey Mac and cheese was very good and flavorful... The hot being more of a vinegary heat than I expected but the cream sauce was rich. Speaking of value earlier.... Smashburger was $20 and the Mac and cheese was $28. Entrees were $10-15 more it seemed but previous reviews all spoke highly of the entrees and would want to try them if we visit again. The overall service experience was disappointing for us. Not for the demeanor of the staff but everything else... We had a decent size group of 8 (5 adults and 3 kids) and was fortunate to have a dining room to help the kids burn some energy while not bothering the other diners. However, from ordering to entrees to arrive was 45 very hungry minutes. It also took 20+ mins just to get drinks. Once the food arrived, they also were short two of the kids meals which was thankfully corrected quick. We then were somewhat "gently" being asked to wrap things up by 3 staff members in 10 mins making the rounds to clear plates and any to go containers. We all understand the business in the food industry and turning tables, and trust me, after an hour from arriving to food on the table we wanted to get home for bed time. However, really sours the experience and would not advocate going here with large groups.... Between the kitchen and staff I can't say you'd have a guaranteed good time.

Hit all the right spots. The serving size is decent for the cost but it is kinda on the expensive side I'd say. Cost $14.00. Can't wait to try the miso glazed salmon next. Ingredients are of quality and stocked well, healthy and I like that they list the calorie count next to each menu item. Wish there was more details as a first timer here how they'd charge if you customize your bowl. All It said was starting at $10.00. Location is great as there's parking and it's in the shopping center with access to shops, desserts, etc.

They had many options to choose from to customize a salad, bowl or pick one on of the options from their menu. Aside from being pricey I thought my meal tasted fresh and high quality. They state that they source their food locally which is nice! The food alone had me sold on going back but unfortunately the service was very slow (long line and only 1 counter employee) and they were running out of certain items on the line during dinner time. The inside of sweet green felt clean and they have to-go bags hanging up for you if needed along with several tables go dine in. Overall, will go back to get a quick healthy meal option!
