    Grabbed a quick breakfast. It was delicious and cheap and made to order quickly. Highly recommended.

    Warning, the price on the menu is not the price of your order. Last time they added 3.00 as a surcharge for the price of eggs going up, now after the egg price crisis is over you would think that the prices went back to normal. No, they give you a menu with no warning or reason for a price increase for a 9.00 breakfast that is now 12.00, $12.96 to be exact. Plus tip.. This is a 33 % increase, If the menu said 12.00 you could make your own decisions, here they slip the surprise after your meal. Not Good Policy, Here is the law: "When you place an order, you are "accepting" that offer, creating a binding informal contract. Because a contract is formed, the restaurant is obligated to honor the price it advertised, and charging a higher price without prior notification can be considered a breach of this contract and a violation of consumer protection laws prohibiting false advertising."

    First timer came for breakfast this weekend. Awesome! 10/10 will come again. Not a ton of seating but things flowed well. Our server was super nice and helpful as we came with a baby. We got chilaquiles with egg and steak - huge portions and great seasoning. We got a pancake on the side and a kids meal which was huge. Can't wait to come back and try more!

    This place was DELICIOUS. We came here for brunch, 2 adults and an infant. It's a small place with limited seating, but we were able to get a table shortly after arriving. We both got the chilaquiles with eggs and steak. I also got a side pancake. All of it was so tasty. I couldn't even finish my main entree. We look forward to coming back here. The food, service, everything was great. One of the best brunches I've had in RI, for sure.

    Capitol Hill Taqueria is one of my top three diners in PVD. It is so cute and cozy, the kind of place you could sit in for hours. The food is amazing. Their tortillas are so good, and very structurally sound. Their Mexican pancakes with condensed milk are to die for. And the portions are huge! I love topping everything off with a fresh pineapple juice. The staff is super nice too. They are so friendly and the food always comes out really fast, even if there's a bit of a crowd. I basically have a whole mukbang session there every time I go!

    This place was pretty good. The service was great, they were so nice, patient and helpful. As soon as you walk in your met with a great smell of food. The food was great, compared to the good smells though it was a bit underwhelming, some items were a bit bland and my chicken was big and tough.

    A little spot on Smith Hill that serves Mexican food. It's pretty comparable to other Mexican spots like La Lupita or Órale, but what sets them apart is their fantastic breakfast menu. It feels like a classic diner complete with booths and stools next to the counter, and although it's a little on the small side and can feel a little cramped if it's busy. The service is excellent, as are the prices. If you love diners and haven't been here yet, I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot.

    This place was delicious! I got the huevos rancheros, I asked for avocado on it but didn't get it (even though we were charged for it). It was still very tasty and yummy. The red sauce tasted homemade and the beans were the best part. The tortillas were a little hard to cut, but whatever. I was very happy with my rancheros, very delicious. I also got a delicious homemade strawberry juice! I drank it all before getting a picture.

    Price was before 40% off promotion. Would definitely pay full price next time it was so good!

    Ordered thru Uber eats because of their 40% off promotion. Can't believe I've never tried this place before but we will definitely be coming back!! Tamales are SO good! My hubby really enjoyed his hash breakfast and my baby loved the pancakes. The order came quickly and was packaged neat with utensils and ketchup/ syrup. Great breakfast from a hidden gem!

    you know when you go to a new spot and you already can feel that you will become a regular? that is exactly how i felt when i walked through these doors. everything about this place is so freaking quaint and lovely. the exterior of the building reminds me that i am in new england, the inside gives classic retro diner vibes. the food was so delicious and so well priced. we got the chilaquiles and steak entree. and we shared the flan and it was delectable. the server was so sweet and attentive. and we did not feel rushed but it was quick service at the same time. i cannot wait to try all the other yummy items on the menu. oh and how could i forget they make their OWN tortillas in house and i could tell just from looking at them and then almost cried happy tears eating them. the whole place really tasted like i was eating in someone's home and they made me a hearty, quality meal.

    Here for the second time! Trying out the breakfast

    First off, the good: Ethan our server was very sweet…read moreThe food was DELICIOUS (carnitas quesadilla and bean dip in particular) However we had a pretty bad customer service experience with the owner who was contacted after we noticed a discrepancy with our bill. We ordered the chips and guac for 14.50, which comes with beans and salsa, and says says free refills (menu attached). We asked for one refill of beans and one of guac. When we got the bill, we were supposed to see charges for the beans and guac. Our server explained that the free refills were only for the chips and salsa. We asked to see a menu again and pointed out that it says free refills. Our server contacted the owner/manager who doubled down on the misleading statement and charged us for both refills (total of 10.50 additional cost). It's really a bummer because I had read a bunch of reviews on here and my takeaway is that the food is great but the management leaves something to be desired. Be upfront with your customers! It's a great restaurant with delicious food, I'm glad small businesses exist, and I wish that we had been treated with more grace and honesty. Losing $10 on your end (or even just being upfront and stating the refill policy on the menu) is well worth it for a positive customer experience. I would have loved to give this place 5 stars but took 1 off for the misleading pricing and another for the way that it was handled by the manager.

    I found Chilangos by serendipity: we were looking for a Mexican restaurant that was open on Tuesday…read moreand we liked the menu on the website because the food was true Mexican food, not the usual Americanized Mexican. So we took a chance. And we were not at all disappointed! First, we were greeted warmly, in a genuine way, by the owner. They seemed genuinely glad to have us. The older gentleman was friendly and playful towards my son. The food was delicious! I had enchiladas with housemate mole. The mole was fantastic: complex and nuanced. My daughter had enchiladas verde, which was smothered in a poblano salsa that was also complex, with great green heat. My son ordered the arracherra, a peppercorn rubbed steak served with homemade guacamole and a delicious cactus salad. I was tempted by several other dishes, particularly the enchiladas mineras (beef cheeks - yum!). All in all, a warm, welcoming, delicious experience that made me want come back. And I will.

    I used to come here all the time when I lived in Providence. In the three times I've been back over…read morethe last few years, I've had a couple stellar experiences and one subpar experience. But I'm someone that believes anyone can have an off day so overall this place is really great. First and foremost, get the margarita. They are the best I've ever had. Also, get the tacos. Even as an app they're so great. I got the shrimp and a veg recently. I've enjoyed all of the entrees I've ever gotten. Honorable mention is the shrimp Diablo. Super spicy and delightful. The interior is warm, cozy, and a perfect combo of lit enough so you can see but dark enough to set a mood for spilling tea or flirting with your date. Equal parts good for girls night and good for date night. The not so great: I got flautas once and they fell flauta (haha). Also, it's sometimes a one man show so service can be slow especially if you need refills so be sure to order multiple drinks at a time, or better yet a pitcher. Street parking can be a real pain but sometimes you get lucky on a side street. Definitely worth a visit if you've never been!

Needless to say, it was a disappointing start to what was supposed to be a special family evening. Thankfully, a quick call to Aguardente in Fox Point changed everything. The person who answered explained that they weren't taking reservations that evening, but they did have one outdoor table left if we could make it there in time. Despite the challenges of navigating Providence during the World Cup festivities and the Cape Verde Festival in the Fox Point area, we managed to get to the restaurant and secure that last table. We are incredibly grateful to the staff at Aguardente for helping turn our evening around. Our daughter and son-in-law were hoping to enjoy one last dinner with both families before leaving on Monday for a special assignment in South Carolina, and the unexpected closure of our original restaurant had left everyone feeling frustrated and disappointed. From the moment we arrived, the team at Aguardente made us feel welcome. The food was excellent, the drinks were wonderful, and the service was outstanding. Most importantly, they helped transform what had begun as a stressful evening into a memorable celebration with family. Thank you to everyone at Aguardente for your kindness, hospitality, and professionalism. You made our families smile and created a special memory during an important moment in our lives. We highly recommend Aguardente and look forward to returning. -- A very grateful family

    Atmosphere: cute outdoor seating area for summer nights. The inside has cool decor (including a…read morebathroom that apparently won an award??), but is very small and cramped. The upper 'porch' like area looks really fun, but the table we were seated at was so close to the other tables I was uncomfortable. I get that we're in a city, but I value my personal space and privacy and felt like the whole restaurant could hear my every word - ick. Service: our server seemed annoyed that I didn't want an alcoholic drink, and was not very helpful. Half of the menu is not in English (very chaotic how some portions are in English and others are not, it doesn't seem consistent), so we had some questions, such as "what does x taste like?" and the only response we got was "not too sweet"....okay, but what DOES it taste like? She spoke very fast and I couldn't understand her listing off the specials, even though she didn't really have an accent. She left partway through while we were there so I guess she was just at the end of her shift and checked out, but it was so offputting how rude and unhelpful she was. When our servers transitioned, we offered to cash out then since we weren't getting anything else and wanted the original server to get her tips, but she started joking around that we didn't have to do that - which I appreciate, but we actually did want to get going and get cashed out, but she refused to give us our check. I asked three times and she still wouldn't 'let us do that'...very weird. Food: there were not a ton of vegetarian options that appealed to me. I went a little overboard on plantains by accident, which is my mistake. I first ordered the Rellenitos with cilantro crema sauce, which were very good and a flavor combination I wasn't expecting. The dough to filling ratio was a little off and they were pretty dry inside, so I needed a lot of the sauce. An order only came with 2 and I wish it was more. I'm glad I ordered something else - Tula Fries, which came with the same exact cilantro creme sauce as the Rellenitos, even though they are described differently on the menu, which felt lazy to repeat a sauce. The sauce didn't go well with them at all in my opinion so I did not enjoy these as much as I would've liked. My friend enjoyed her drink, but thought almost all of the meat on her meat and cheese board was either low quality or close to going bad. It was priced reasonably, which we were shocked by, but she couldn't eat a good portion of it sadly. We did really enjoy the baked flava bean snack that was a part of it. The board weirdly came with just half of one small, half rotten strawberry that looked terrible - it would've been better to leave it off. Towards the end of the night, there was so much water on the floor in the hallway that goes to the bathroom and passes the kitchen - I had to walk through it to go to the bathroom, which felt like a safety hazard. My friend was on crutches and wouldn't even try to get over there since we knew she'd slip on all the water. It just looked terrible and was dangerous, so not sure what we going on that there was such a water issue there. Their specialties and more meat based dishes are probably great, but there just aren't a ton of things for me to eat here. I'd be willing to try it again for drinks and apps if the service wasn't so unwelcoming.
