We biked to Los Gatitos while visiting Block Island. We started with the chips, salsa and queso. It was absolutely so good. The salsa had a very distinct flavor not like anything I had ever had. The waitress recommended the cheeseburger for my side and it didn't disappoint. It had two thin patties with cheese accompanied by tortilla chips. I had a chop salad and it was so fresh and delicious. The dressing was so good. We actually dipped chips in it great spot! read more

The food was great! Definitely satisfied my mexican craving. The ambiance is pretty casual, just some seating outside as you can see in the photo. The service was kind of meh, the waiter was rushing me to pay the check and leave even though my table had all our drinks still full. She also messed up my order a bit, but it wasn't a big issue because she gave me the healthier option anyways lol. Overall its a nice spot, and wasn't crowded at all at 5pm! read more

Los Gatitos - Outside Area - Mexican Near Me - Block Island, Rhode Island

Really surprised by the reviews on this one. I was not at all disappointed. The service was good, the food and the view were great. It's a great little breezy lunch spot and bar. We had the nachos, and a half order was huge. Tons of toppings, very fresh. The burrito bowl was nothing amazing, but again the ingredients were very fresh. Paired with a few of the signature tequila cocktails and it was the perfect stop. Definitely recommend a visit. read more

Ever since we discovered their street corn 5 or so years ago, we have been coming every year on our trips! Their street corn is amazing (both on and off the cob). They have such a prime view of the beaches of Block Island! The staff has always been good to us. Would definitely recommend for Mexican food while visiting Block! read more

Chips, guacamole and quesadillas were very tasty along with cold beer, quick service and a nice vibe on the porch. Loved it !

In BI, very casual atmosphere, had an excellent burrito bowl, liked option of outdoor or indoor seating. Service a bit slow but good. Next to Winfields. read more

Solid fare for lunch. We had two types of tacos. Brisket and chicken. Guacamole on the chicken and a side of rice and beans for the other. Both were good and solid choices. Servers were kind and efficient. Good beer selection. We ate inside and it was fine. It's a huge bar with lots of space. Pool table and darts. We can only imagine that it gets packed on the evenings and weekends. Good beer selection. Outdoor space was nice as well. read more

My friend (25), got rejected service of his REAL ID and even showed his pistol license. Learn how to check IDs or get a scanner before refusing us service. Went to Beach Head instead! Right across the street and amazing food and service! Suck it Los Gatitos. read more

There were a few things that I really enjoyed about this place, including the food, but there were also a few things that I didn't like. The nachos were huge and delicious and the burrito bowl was perfect! My daughter had the quesadilla and my son had the regular tacos, which they both enjoyed. What we didn't enjoy is that all of the tables wobble...all of them. They also use plastic forks and knives and the tiniest and least absorbent napkins on the planet, which are in a bucket on the table, which I felt kind of cheapened the place, especially for BI. The service was slow, but they were all friendly. The margs started off great, but then turned to basically mix and no booze. Overall, I'd go back again. read more

Service was nice. Cool vibe inside. However, the service was extremely slow. Some food came out 30+ minutes before everyone else's. No one was impressed with their food. Unfortunately, 3 of us ended up with food poisoning after. read more

Good food, good service, friendly, atmosphere, and a nice view of the beach and surrounding restaurants

This is a fun place for a drink on Block Island, with tasty and homey tex-mex food. I would definitely return for a low-key, tasty meal and drink. An additional stand out was the exceptional service - - after I left! I had treated my friends,, so I had given my credit card to pre-pay the bill, and then forgot to get my credit card back. I realized my credit card was gone after I left Block Island, so called on the phone and they were amazing - - mailed me back my credit card, and wouldn't even let me pay them. A great place to get food and drinks, and truly generous and gracious service as well! read more

Yummy nachos! We tried the brisket on them. Tender and flavorful. The small is large enough to share at lunch. My negative comment would be I wanted to try a margarita but at $12 each it didn't happen! Way too pricey! read more

Some of the best food on the island. Amazing nachos, the street corn is VERY underrated. The burritos are hefty size and flavorful but I wouldn't say the best I've ever had. Expensive-ish but it is the island. read more

The whole setup is kinda weird because Los Gatitos is closely run in conjunction with Yellow Kittens. The two businesses are located next to each other. Los Gatitos is the Mexican restaurant side of the business (located on an outdoor deck) and Yellow Kittens is the bar part of the business (located indoors). In the evenings Yellow Kittens will host live bands. Got that? To call this place a Mexican restaurant is a stretch. It's basically an outdoor bar that serves Mexican bar food. They serve nachos, burritos and tacos. Big whoop dee doo. But that doesn't mean the food is bad. It's not. My nachos were quite excellent (unfortunately they contained 2 billion calories) and my Narragansett Shady was nice and cold. It's a nice place to stop after hitting Fred Benson Beach to grab some suds and grub. Personally I wouldn't plan on eating any big dinner time meals here. It just isn't that type of place. read more

Los Gatitos - Waiter, there's a Block Island on my cup! - Mexican Near Me - Block Island, Rhode Island

I have been coming here since the mid 80's when I waa single and it was more of a dance club. I rediscovered it with my young family in the late 90's. We would come after a beach day and have margaritas and clam strip burritos, which were incredible. About 6 years they came under new ownership as Los Gatitos. No more clam burritos but the food was still pretty good. Fast forward to now. The Margarita are very sweet and the service is very slow. Not a busy day either. Waiting 20 minutes for our appetizers so far. 45 minutes in, after I asked where our appetiters were, our all our food came. We'll, the portions were a bit small and presentation was a bit like a school cafeteria. Our Veggi burgers were undercooked as well. Time to look for a new place. read more

Service was AWFUL, the table next to us dog pissed all over the floor. Disgusting, server was rude. Food was decent, wouldn't go back. Eat elsewhere read more

The star of the menu here is the absolutely towering, ridiculous nachos. A full plate of nachos feeds two or three people. They're a joyous voyage of discovery - take a left at the guacamole mountain to delve into the bean cave, and beware the salsa reservoir! Both the pork and beef are terrific accompaniments, but honestly, they're sufficient even in their default vegetarian state. They're even gluten-free! Nowhere near healthy, but not containing gluten. Definitely accompany them with an expensive, but quite large margarita that is clearly made from powdered margarita mix. The place turns into a nightclub and turns off the kitchen after 8pm. read more

I stopped in here for lunch after a morning on the beach and wasn't disappointed. A kind hostess brought us to our table on the deck without a wait, where cold cups of water greeted us immediately and were efficiently refilled throughout my visit - a small gesture but meaningful after being out in the hot sun. I ordered a frozen margarita which was decently flavored and super refreshing. The street corn is delicious, and the fish tacos were fresh and tasty (especially with the pineapple salsa added). Also, wherever I see yuca fries on the menu, I always get them, and was glad I did. The prices and portions were fair, and the service attentive. While not the most "authentic" Mexican food, there wasn't anything I didn't enjoy and I will definitely be back. A chill spot for lunch worth checking out. read more

The lobster taco was amazing and well worth the price. The lobster quesadilla (not pictured) was also fantastic. The ratio of lobster was notable. Everything was great :) read more

When we're on the Island, we end up here at least once a day -- usually for lunch, after a morning on the beach. Their mudslides are the best you'll find, the service is fun and friendly, and the nachos are ideal for sharing. I've split tortas and quesadillas, but the nachos are always the star of the table. You can customize them as you please, but we're big fans of beef brisket with all the fixings. If you've had Mexican food anywhere on the East coast then you'll know this isn't the cuisine's most authentic form, but it sure does hit the spot. Bar service is always on point. The mudslides, as I said, are not to be missed. You even have two sizing options, which is great. I usually only want a half before we head back home. Margaritas, palomas, and cerveza are also good on a summer day (warning: cocktails are strong). They also have pinball and table tennis inside. If you're in town or on Fred Benson Beach, it's easy to walk. You can also park in their lot/on the street outside. read more

Best sunny day lunch spot on BI. Think outdoor covered seating, nice views, best nachos and ice cold margaritas. Actually the best nachos I have ever had. Get them with lobster! read more

I've been here before but that was prior to me being on yelp. On this most recent occasion, I had a frozen strawberry margarita and a chicken quesadilla. Both were great. My date was already drunk when we got there so he was kind of ruining the whole thing for me but the food was good. I'll be back next time I'm on the island. read more

Los Gatitos - Mexican Near Me - Block Island, Rhode Island

This place was delicious! The food was fresh and the environment was great. Thier drinks are good as well.

Best nachos I've ever had in my entire life. We only stopped in for an appetizer... but I can't wait to try anything else on the menu. The nachos alone are a meal even if you share with someone else! I'm a true Texan BBQ lover and let me tell you, this brisket they put on the nachos is the closest deliciousness to TX that I've ever found in New England. Also, they load it up even more with fresh jalapenos and pineapple. Add guacamole, and hellooooo. *Perfection* read more

Might be the best tacos my hubby n I ever had! He had brisket, I had chicken. We both got the soft corn tacos. We are picky with our Mexican fare but these were delicious "street" tacos! I suggest adding the pickled jalapeños and the cilantro sour cream with the hot sauce! read more

The nachos are incredible and the drinks are reasonably priced. I came here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the quick service and quality of the food. read more

Best place on Block Island, day or night. Unbelievable food on the deck and in their other kitchen at Winfields. Absolutely the best place to see live music too. Saw Those Guys twice there this summer. read more

Food and drinks were very mediocre, price value was much higher than the quality of our food. Service on the other hand was horrendous, our server never at one point brought us waters..we had to ask them multiple times and it still took longer than appropriate. Our server was very rude and short with us as a table and very inattentive. At the end of our meal we tipped what we thought was appropriate and was later approached in the evening (at a different location by the same waiter) and was harassed saying that I tipped like a crappy person. I will never go back, I have never been treated so poorly by another individual in the food service industry in my life. read more

very slow service, they dont know how to prioritize service, i waited 1 hrs for food with 6 people and then they are serving fast food to people spending 6 buck on 2 beers . come one. i want them to do well in these tough times but come-on.. serve your highest spending customers first as all are importsnt read more

Bomb Mexican food. I have to say my expectations weren't very high since it's on a little touristy sort of towny type of island... but it was so good. Right on the water, we sat outside under the tent on the deck on a super nice sunny day. Staff was friendly, they even had switchback :) also the jalapeños were SO good. Crunchy and sweet and spicy house pickled jalapeños. I highly recommend adding them on if you like any sort of heat :) hot salsa is also the best read more

A solid Tex-Mex restaurant with a pleasant outdoor deck. Because I planned on riding my bicycle around the island, I didn't want to stuff my face, so I passed on the frozen margarita and the nachos, both of which looked amazing at other diner's tables. I ordered the burrito bowl with the catch of the day (mahi mahi) $14, and my wife got the chicken burrito ($10), which I also sampled. Both were tasty, but the chicken burrito seemed a better buy. Next trip, I'll be back for the nachos and margaritas. read more

Possibly the best nachos I've ever had and I lived in San Diego for 4 years.Add lobster it's worth it. Don't miss the grilled corn! It's delicious. I may have ordered sauce on side If I had thought about it. Service was decent for a busy place. read more

It can be a challenge to get a good meal at tourist destinations like block island. My family members love this Mexican restaurant but I was not too impressed. Service was very good and the starter nachos with everything were delicious. The environment is more of a bar than a restaurant but sitting on the outdoor deck was nice on a pretty day. There were some vegetarian choices available but in the form of veggie burger crumbles. And I tried the regular hamburger which I would not recommend. It came out cold & nearly raw at first but they said that was their medium they did throw it back on the grill even though I had cut it in half and brought the original back out with the original soggy bun and then hot, mushy toppings. I was surprised ordering a Coke there are no free refills. We also try the lobster quesadilla which was not good either. The lobster was way overcooked so chewy and overall bland and basic for the price. I would consider stopping in for a drink and an appetizer but would not consider this a great place to get a meal while on the island. read more

We eat out a lot and these nachos were literally the best I've ever had! The full order is huge so the half order was perfect for the 2 of us. Amazing homemade toppings. Just order them! Also make sure to get a grilled corn or 2. Great little spot with an ocean view. Margaritas were delicious as well read more

The food is good but nothing extraordinary. took my food over an hour to arrive. Service was poor the staff doesn't care

Modest but fun place. Nice house margaritas. Wonderful outdoor long table with stools with great view and 4 tops outdoors with lesser view. I like the nachos and lobster quesadilla. I think new chef ? Food better than 2 years ago. read more
