Francesca's on Broadway has quickly become one of our go-to spots--we've been multiple times and it truly never fails us. No matter the occasion or who we're with, it's always a great experience. I always order the chilaquiles verdes and they are genuinely to die for--perfectly balanced, flavorful, and something I find myself craving all the time. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the service is consistently great, and it's just one of those places you can confidently bring friends and know everyone will love it. Highly recommend. read more

Definitely earn their high rating! We went to breakfast and they told us they serve th whole menu. 8am chips and salsa anyone?! We ended up getting breakfast, I got French toast which was great but the real star was my husbands Mexican skillet. Literally everything you want for a savory breakfast in one heap on your plate. Potatoes, eggs, chorizo, sausage, peppers, onions all covered in cheese yummmm. They also offer a full alcohol menu so if you love a morning margarita this place is for you! I personally went with hot coffee but to each their own! The servers were so pleasant and nice and attentive, I can't wait to come back and try dinner! read more

Delicious food and great service. Visiting from Arizona, we were surprised to find a good Mexican breakfast. It was a great place to recharge after our overnight flight. Arizona/Sonoran saguaro decor verified that we were in the right place... comfy and cozy... reminded us of home. read more

I tried this location for delivery after thoroughly enjoying lunch at the Pawtucket Avenue location. I ordered on DoorDash and the driver arrived on time. The food was as ordered (no cilantro) and still hot upon arrival. I can't wait to try breakfast at either location soon! read more

Read a bit about Francesca's in a magazine. Didn't realize we'd been there once before until we arrived. Food was good. I had corned beef hash and eggs. Very nice. She ordered eggs Benedict with hollandaise on the side. Dish arrived with hollandaise on the eggs AND more on the side. Oh well. Server was very nice. read more

I was there to pick some tacos for takeout. As usual it was just as good as the Pawtucket location. Great food, atmosphere and staff. Awesome! read more

This place never disappoints. The wait staff is always so friendly and the food is always excellent. I got the Ranchero omelette special. The chef did an awesome job garnishing this dish with fresh greens which was a nice touch. I'm doing some keto, so I requested no toast or potatoes which comes with this dish. read more

What a gem! Visiting PVD for college tours and in the mood for brunch. After stopping at two other recommended spots and being told it would be an hour wait we decided to head back to the hotel. We then read the yellow review for Francesca's. Best decision ever! Everything, from the chicken fajita omelette with home fries to the Burria tacos, were delicious! Food was seasoned to perfection, fresh and generous. My daughter declared the Birria tacos the best she's ever had. Jenice was a pleasure! And welcomed us with a smile. Cozy and welcoming! 10 out of 10!!! read more

If you're looking for a good spot for some drinks and Mexican, this is the spot! Bar seating as well as booths that are roomy and comfortable.

Dish after dish left me even more impressed. read more

Their Carne Asada was so delicious!!! Juicy, not tough. Seasoned perfectly! The home made tortillas, sides, salad and grilled jalapeño was a perfect accompaniment to the meal. They also have fresh made mango juice was again so fresh tasting! I was so full. Even after I put the leftovers in the to go box, I kept my fork so I could eat a little more while waiting for my check. Staff was so friendly and patient as I looked over the menu too. Parking outside is adequate and the restaurant has a rear entrance too so if you park outside, you can come in both ways. Great place for family and friends to get together! read more

Food: I've been to the Pawtucket location and their food is just as good. I love Mexican food and to have it in a breakfast form was great! Everything came out delicious and they give a generous portion too. Service: The staff was so nice here! Always giving great recommendations and super pleasant. They were pretty busy but our waitress was still very attentive. Ambiance: This location was very spacious. I love their furniture. The wooden booths are so nice! There are a bunch of booths and tables to go around. Also a good size bar in the front. And there's a parking lot for customers as well. I've been back a few times already :) read more

I've been to Francesca's a few times for breakfast and continue to return. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Lisboa omelet, which includes broccoli, swiss cheese, and chorizo with a side of home fries and your choice of toast. (I chose the Portuguese bolo). The omelet was filling, the homefries well seasoned, and the bolo was buttered and good to eat. I also had a side of apple juice which came in a cute mason jar glass, adding a nice touch to the restaurant's aesthetic. The service can be slow when busy, but the food makes up for the wait. There is also a good amount of parking as well. Looking forward to returning and trying their cocktail specials and Mexican-styled breakfast! read more

Francesca's may have just became my go to breakfast spot! We're fortunate to have so many really good breakfast spots in the area but Francesca's is really GREAT! The food was delicious. The wait staff was both plentiful, friendly and inviting. I enjoyed the Bananas foster pancakes, with a side of their homemade chourico hash. Serving size was perfect too(I can put away some food . The overall feel of the restaurant was super inviting and clean too. read more

Opened the Yelp app. and went to my collections and found Breakfast and chose Francesca's. I usually add to a collection from word of mouth from friends, family and colleges. We were welcomed in when we opened the door and said we could sit anywhere we would like even at the bar which l thought was awesome. The super friendly young lady came over and asked what we wanted to drink and gave us the menus and the special's menu also. The waitress came back after a couple minutes and took our order. My friend ordered the Mexican steak dish (Quetzalteco), and I ordered a Bloody Mary and Huevos Rancheros. I asked my friend how his meal was, and he was very happy and loved everything. I took a sip of my bloody Mary, and something was off with it, but I had an ice-cold cup of water too, so I wasn't to worry and was very excited to eat my meal. I must say the meal was awesome! The eggs were cooked perfectly, the potatoes were hot and silky. The refried beans were also good, and the fresh hot tortillas made the dish all come together. We were never rushed at any point since my friend, and I had a lot of catching up to do. The bill finally came from the awesome waitress and was told not to rush at all. That's when this younger gentleman approached us, and I had a funny feeling that I knew who he was since before I left to come here for breakfast, I read some 1-star yelp reviews about this place that I thought it was just some rude people leaving garbage reviews That the owner (Edgar) of the restaurant responded too. Edgar comes up to us at the bar and greets us and asks how everything was and we were very pleased to tell him that everything was great! Before I even went to ask him about the bloody Mary, he asked me, why I didn't drink the bloody Mary which I then explained to him about this other place that I go to all the time, and it just wasn't the same here. The owner (Edgar) right away took it off the bill and wanted to understand and learn more about how I tasted his and compared too the other place I go to all the Time (Julian's in Providence). He stood there and just listened to me explain things and I was just amazed at how the person (Edgar) was taking the feedback and really caring about the customers experience and how the drink was made with the ingredients. In the end a great experience at Francesca's and can't wait to come back! To the staff and Edgar, if you keep on doing what you are doing you will be here forever. Love the food and Atmosphere! And of course, the staff and Owner of this place!!!!! read more

Service was phenomenal! The staff was so attentive and friendly. I think the standout was the quesa-birria that cheesiness with the sauce is ideal. The guac was also top tier. And funnily enough a solid fish and chip. The steak tacos were a bit underwhelming as was the chicken in the combo plate. The drinks are stellar and would recommend for chips guac and something saucy over margs. read more

I love Francesca's on Broadway for breakfast in East Providence. Food is always so good, the space is cozy but I feel like I can always have a conversation and feel like there's some privacy. So clean, friendly service. Love it Also the authentic Mexican flare in the choices are awesome but they also have traditional American choices. So good! I have not been here for lunch, but I think it would be great! I had breakfast this morning with my daughters and my parents, it was a lovely experience once again. read more

What a lovely spot! Clean, aesthetically pleasing, and cozy. The food is next level good...I had the carne asada and man was that good. Our server radiated good vibes and added that extra touch to our service. We don't live here but we will be back the next time we are here! YUM!! read more

As a very novice "foodie" and looking for an authentic Mexican breakfast, I drove almost an hour to find this place which I will consider a "gem". On a Saturday morning, around 10:30am the place was not packed although there were customers there. We were directed to sit where we would like and the ambiance was pleasantly calm and quiet without all of the hustle and bustle. Pros: A nice, calm and quiet atmosphere The waitress was very polite and friendly The food portions were great Quest-Birria!!!! Con: It's an hour drive for me, lol. Yes, I would absolutely drive an hour again to try more items off of their menu. Although we went for breakfast, it turned into brunch once we noticed the Quesa-Birria and it was absolutely amazing !! All I can say is please do yourself a favor and try it if you are in the area or if you are up for a little road trip. We also had the Francesca's Special, plain pancakes, and (I forgot the actual name) scrambled eggs w/chorizo,peppers,onions, refried beans, cheese, and fried plantains. Everything that I could actually eat before reaching complete fullness was delicious and I did not have to add any salt or pepper to anything! It was all seasoned wonderfully! read more

Awesome breakfast spot! My wife and I loved the staff, food and drinks. It's a cute little place with a Mexican/Hispanic flair.

You really have to try this... seriously just go. I had a perfect dinner there this evening. It's a foodies dream, everything was so fresh, made in house, and the attention to detail was obvious. Tacos dorados... solid five stars. Crunchy, seasoned well, authentic flavors, I could eat that every day. What really blew me away was the little touches, the cotija cheese and crema really make it sing. I had the carne asada for an entree, it was perfect. Great cook on the skirt steak, tender, flavorful, seasoned well, and juicy. Again, the details make the dish, tortillas were made to order,and the charred jalapeño was so epic. Service was friendly and attentive, owners were charming and hospitable. Drinks were excellent, espresso martini even had the three coffee beans. Ambiance is great, simple, clean, well lit, and tidy. I honestly can't wait to go back, this place is a gem. Also check out their facebook page for specials. I'm dying to try the lemon ricotta pancakes with caramelized apples. read more

Excellent food , service and atmosphere. This food is so delicious and the service was wonderful !!!

The best thing to happen to East Providence in a while. I'm very picky when it comes to breakfast and Francesca's did not disappoint! The French toast is amazing and love the home fries. Even something as simple as scrambled eggs was top notch. You can definitely tell they use quality eggs. The service is always amazing. Everyone is so friendly and attentive. The only downfall is I can never get a booth because there's always a full house. Oh and let me mention that the margaritas are A1! So happy to hear they're now open for dinner!

Fantastic establishment, great people, great service, perfect ambiance and amazing food !

I stumbled across this restaurant a couple of weeks ago, had a wonderful breakfast with great service. Happen to be in the neighborhood today, Cinco de Mayo, and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast again with fantastic service. Clean, friendly environment, just feels good being here, and even better when they drop a dish like the one that I've shared in the picture. Do yourself a favor, come check out Francesca's on Broadway. read more

Francesca's On Broadway - Mexican Street Corn - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - East Providence, Rhode Island

My boyfriend and I felt like going out for breakfast this past Sunday. We picked our spot and headed over, passing Francesca's along the way... We both noted to each other "oh yeah, we still haven't tried that place yet." and decided to turn around and head back to give it a go! We're thrilled we did. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, the décor was pleasant, and everything seemed exceptionally clean!! (Even the ketchup and syrup bottles on our table were wiped down and didn't have a single sticky spot - you don't see that very often at a breakfast spot on the weekend - and we happily took notice of it) We were seated immediately and greeted with friendly service. We decided to go with the Chilaquiles Verdes (since Mexican breakfast is what made us want to go there!) and an item on their Specials menu - Lemon Ricotta pancakes with fried apples. I did ask for home fries instead of the beans that came with the Chilaquiles and they were happy to accommodate that substitution. DELICIOUS!!! Everything was delicious. Additionally, the presentation of the food was lovely as well. Once we left, I immediately had to post in the local East Providence group raving about Francesca's and encouraging others to go as well - and being a big Yelper, of course I had to throw them some stars on here as well! Definitely give them a try at one of their two locations (the other is in Pawtucket, but we haven't been to that one). We look forward to going back!! Final note...the ONLY "complaint" we have is that they aren't open for dinner. We often find ourselves wanting dinner-out occasionally during the week and this would be a great option for us, but they close at 3pm. Looks like we'll just have to make time on a weekend, soon, to check out more of their Mexican fare for a yummy lunch date. :-) read more

First time here for dinner. Very good! Quite surprised the secret isn't out yet. The food was excellent, as was the service and atmosphere. Good prices. I would recommend to the staff that they make it a bit more of a dinner experience. Maybe a candle and/or flower on each table. Dim the lights a bit (if possible). Not a complaint, just a tip to make it even better. read more

Friendly staff and delicious breakfast served nice and hot, great place to dine or takeout. I'll be back
