    Harvest Margarita!
    David Z.

    Love me some tacos and when it is a Tuesday all you can eat all I can say is game on!!! Always enjoy a stop in at Diego's to sample the goods and wash it down with some spirits! The Harvest Margarita was delicious and a perfect fall drink to enjoy. Service was great as the place was busy and the tacos kept coming! Good for group setting or just hanging out by yourself at the bar. Don't pass up this Tuesday night delight!

    Me and some girls were in town for the weekend and wanted to go out for one of their birthdays to celebrate. She loves Mexican food so we chose here. The menu had plenty of options for all of our tastes. I made a mistake on the reservation, but they were still able to accommodate us. The noise was a bit overwhelming, even though it wasn't very crowded, but that's only because it was a smaller space. We all got a cocktail to start and it was perfect. After we had our meal, they surprise my friend with a birthday dessert. We all had some, and it was amazing. Would definitely come again.

    Servers were less than Han interest in us I tried to order one of each taco but got two orders my bad Food took forever and was not hot when it was servered. Corn casserole was burnt and the Korean bbq shrimp was not good The pork belly was good

    The service here is exceptional! The waitress was extremely kind and attentive. Went for taco Tuesday in the early evening and it wasn't too busy. Outdoor seating was gorgeous, sat outside in the upper deck patio. Chips and salsa were incredible. Could tell that the chips were homemade. Salsa wasn't spicy but had a distinct flavor and taste. The gringo tacos were really crispy, but much smaller than I expected. Not a whole lot of ground beef inside or other fixings. Not sure even with the taco Tuesday deal if the two tacos were worth $7. The BLAT tacos were crispy fried pork belly, this tasted really delicious, and went well with the crema and pickled cabbage. Rice and beans were pretty standard for a Mexican spot. Came with a little bit of homemade pico too! Overall not the most authentic Mexican spot, but pretty decent for Newport and you can't beat the ambiance, service, and the views.

    This margarita hits the spot with enough salt on the rim.

    Navigating the challenging parking situation at Bowen's Wharf, Diego's offers a delightful experience with its exceptional food. I indulged in the flavorful Korean BBQ pork belly tacos and Crispy Brussels with Ponzu and Garlic for appetizers--delicious! Accompanied by a generously poured margarita served in a mason jar glass, the traffic involved in getting here became much more manageable. While perusing the menu, I made mental notes of other appetizers and entrees for a future visit. The Arugula & Street Corn Salad caught my eye, and I'm intrigued by the tempting description of Pimientos de Sal (shishito peppers with aioli). Diego's also boasts a full Vegan menu, not just a few options, which I find commendable. Oyster Mushroom tacos, Roasted Beet and Butternut Squash tacos, and Buffalo Cauliflower Burrito--all sound appetizing, even for a non-vegan like me. They also offer a complete Gluten-Free menu. (Note: If you choose to park in the lot where The Mooring Seafood & Kitchen Bar is located, be prepared for steep parking fees.)

    My boyfriend and I visited in February 2023 to celebrate our 2 year anniversary! Our first date was in February 2021 at Diego's over margaritas and nachos. So nice we could come back here to celebrate. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The food is authentic, flavorful, and always tastes fresh. We love sitting upstairs in the summer time to see the view. This place is a great location for big celebrations or everyday dining - and everything in between. Bonus points for the on-site parking, which is hard to find at many Newport restaurants. We've been coming to Diego's since it opened, and it's always at the top of our list when we're going out. I've also been for brunch on the weekends, and it's phenomenal.

    Met a friend for lunch today and she chose Diego's. We chose to sit out on the deck and holy cow the view! Cute little seating area with a view of the water. I ordered the Bodega Salad with chicken and it was delicious. Love that they carry Topo Chico seltzers! Made my day! My friend had the street corn and chips and salsa and a margarita. I'll definitely be back!

    The food was okay, very small portion sizes and a bit pricey for how much food you get. The drinks on the other hand, very very good cocktails. Never had cinnamon with tequila, but the harvest margaritas were amazing. The service was really good, there was a 45 minute wait for the dining room so we were sat at the bar. The bartender was very attentive to us , and we didn't have to wait long to be waited on. Thursdays are karaoke at 8 pm, so it was pretty lively and loud. Very beautiful view of the water and the sunset.

    Love that this location has a parking lot. Five stars for not having to pay to park. Easy reservation system on Resy. Outside wasn't open due to the cold NE weather, but the inside has high tops, booths, and bar spots. Natalie has been our server a few times. She's friendly and attentive. David, the bartender, gets it right every time. He is always busting his butt behind the bar bringing the creative libations on the menu to life. They just changed the drink menu to include some seasonals and you don't want to overlook those. The view here is the best of all the locations. Don't miss this hidden gem!

    See all

She was nice enough to let me try them and I chose the Trevino which was very good and paired great with my food. The bread was nothing special but solid and the high quality olive oil made up for it. For my main I got the chicken milanese and it was divine. I loved the vinaigrette on top perfectly acidic and vinegary. It cut though the oil and heaviness of the breading which was perfectly salted by the way. The arugula bean salad was sooo good and created such a well balanced meal. The one thing I will say is I believe their fryer does fish and chicken bc my chicken had a slight ocean taste but since I like fish I was not bothered but non fish people beware!

    This is primarily what replaced Chipotle when my friends and I want Mexican on the island…read more Comparatively, it's quite a bit smaller and cozier inside. Leaving the parking lot here is only second to KFC/Domino's, in terms of stupidity. The positives here are no crunchy rice, I can get a horchata or tamarind drink, a large selection of Jarritos soda, and the chip bags are always stuffed completely full. (I will have to say, though, I love the lime salt that Chipotle uses on their chips) I tend to order taco salads here, and the portion sizes are pretty darn good. I will, however, suggest getting either the green hot or medium hot sauce, mixed with the hot. The hot sauce has a decent amount of heat, but not much depth of flavor. All in all, this is a pretty solid fast food choice.

My friend and I were discussing how the flavor and texture of the chips have changed for the worst over time - they use to be lighter and crispier, with lime and salt. The bag does bring a good amount, enough for two people to share. The lemonade drinks in the dispensers are good, and I like that they let you pour it yourself because we tried different combinations. The staff was kind and efficient.

    We recently visited this new establishment, which opened a few weeks ago in the former Hummingbird…read moreCafé space. The service was exceptional, and the menu boasts an impressive array of authentic Mexican dishes, including mole and pumpkin sauces--definitely not Tex-Mex. This is a much-needed addition to the local dining scene, as Rhode Island is not renowned for its Mexican or Tex-Mex options. Currently, Pero Solado is one of the few decent spots on the island, with a few more in the Providence and Central Falls area. Note that they do not have a liquor license, so you can enjoy Mexican sodas instead. Our meal consisted of guacamole and chips, carne asada, three tacos, and a side of beans. Everything was delicious; the beans were clearly homemade, and the tortillas were made from corn. The pricing was generally good, although the guacamole and chips at $10 seemed a bit steep. I highly recommend giving them a try to support another vibrant spot on Broadway. I'm looking forward to trying their breakfast offerings soon. Rating: Food: 5/5 Value: 4/6 Décor: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Noise Level: 1/5 (very quiet) Recommended!

First impressions is that they did a nice job at decorating this little spot, decor is great. Ordered a horchata, which you could tell was homemade and not from some pre-made mix, which of course made it taste that much more yummy. Main course I got was the chicken torta, which was flavorful and would be something I would order again:) Newport needs more Mexican food places that aren't the tired tex-mex style spots we have here. Give this spot a try!
