This is a perfect vibe, obviously a legit local-approved non-tourist spot but friendly to newcomers. The famous clam boil was awesome, and intimidatingly large with two pounds of mollusks. There's a dusting of possibly pepper flakes but mostly the oceanic flavor is in charge. Sometimes I don't have all the answers but do know the questions. The famous boil uses steamers. There's a littleneck item and a littleneck/steamer combo on the menu; given that these aren't the famous boils I reckon they aren't two pounds but I imagine they aren't small. The king clam boil includes corn, I'm not sure if it's otherwise the same as the famous boil.

We stopped in on a weekday afternoon for lunch. Only one other party was in line ahead of us, but…read morewe stood at the abandoned counter for a solid 5 minutes before a staff member from the checkout register had to come over to take our order. Someone else eventually emerged from the kitchen and staff bickered a bit about who should have been covering the lunch counter. The vibes of the place were off and I wish we had just left at this point, before ordering. We confirmed our order was for there yet it was served to us at our table as a stack of three separate takeout containers (not a huge deal, just odd when we saw a bunch of plastic trays everywhere that we'd assumed would be used for eat-in orders). The salmon burger was fine. It came with fries instead of chips (the menu said chips, and the person who took our order confirmed we wanted chips with it), which would normally be an upgrade, but the fries were cold (not warm, just straight up cold like they'd been sitting out for a while). The onion rings were very heavily battered, which was fine, but all we could taste was the old cooking oil they were fried in. The homemade potato chips that came with the lobster roll also tasted like nothing but salt and dirty cooking oil. The hot lobster roll wasn't very hot and the lobster was diced up into small pieces (almost as if they prep the same meat for both the hot and cold rolls). Didn't get much flavor from the lobster other than whatever dried herbs were on it, and somehow the lobster wasn't buttery at all but the roll itself was soggy with butter on the inside. There was also a small, burnt-looking, unidentifiable brown bit of something mixed in with the lobster meat (definitely not lobster meat; it looked like something that had been sitting in the bottom of a fryer for months). The clam chowder was fine, nothing special. We tried to think of something redeeming about the food or this place in general and honestly couldn't come up with anything. We planned on picking up some oysters and halibut on our way out too, but after our experience with the food we decided to skip it.

On the way back from the Providence Amtrak Station I had the opportunity to do some solo restaurant…read morerecon for lunch. I pulled out my list of potentials for the drive back and stopped in New Bedford to try Elizabeth's Restaurant at 1461 Acushnet Ave. (right off the I95). For those who prefer a pithy review--and you know who you are--I offer this "Cliff Notes" version: Casual, clean, and comfortable with delicious and authentic tastes of Latin American cuisine, primarily from Guatemala, and friendly service (though I wish I spoke more Spanish). For those who enjoy reading, let's move on to an actual review. Easy, on-street parking, right in front of Elizabeth's (bring quarters for the meters). As soon as I wanted in the aromas hit me and I knew that was going to be the real deal. Jennifer came around from the front counter (which contains a long buffet filled with all sorts of Guatemalan stews and pre-made dishes) to seat me at a booth. I'd reviewed the menu prior to going there and knew basically what I wanted to try--which would have been just a few dishes short of everything on the menu. But that's not reality, at least not any more. So I ordered a medium Jamaica to drink (my favorite), a chicharron and queso pupusa, which came with a small bowl of curtido, and a bowl of Mondongo (which was the primary reason I had selected Elizabeth's as a new place to try in the first place). We lived in southern California for nearly 40 years, so my palate is fairly well trained when it comes a range of regional Mexican dishes. I was at Elizabeth's for the Mondongo because one of my litmus test dishes in a Mexican restaurant has always been the Menudo--a slow cooked tripe soup flavored with various chilis and typically including hominy. If a place can make a flavorful, fresh tasting bowl of Menudo--which takes care, patience and time in the cleaning and pre-cooking of the tripe--chances are most of their other dishes are going to be tasty as well. Over time, I've easily sampled a few hundred bowls of Menudo and most of them were not very good--too musty, too chewy, the broth lacked flavor, etc., though I did have two favorites places in Orange County when I would go to remind myself of what a properly made bowl of Menudo was supposed to taste like. So I was at Elizabeth's for the tripe--since I have yet to find a Mexican restaurant in New Bedford or Providence which has Menudo on the menu. The Jamaica, which is made from steeping dried Hibiscus flowers and tastes somewhat like unsweetened cranberry juice, was delicious and arrived quickly. Ice cold and beautifully tart. I waited about eight minutes and Jennifer arrived with my food, she then went back to get the silverware and some salsa which she warned me was "hot." LOL, it actually wasn't very hot, at least not for me, but it was especially delicious. I would later ask Jennifer what chili was used to make the salsa, she smiled, shrugged her shoulders, and said "only chef knows." Fair enough. Chefs need to keep some of their dishes a secret. It was not as hot as a Habanero salsa, but it was hotter than a salsa made from only Chili de Arbol. Don't know what it was, but it was incredibly tasty. I've never had Guatemalan tripe soup, though I have had Mondongo in the Dominican Republic (and really enjoyed their version of it). Elizabeth's version, which came with rice and a few limes for squirting as well as the hot sauce, was absolutely fantastic. Easily one of the best three tripe soups I have ever had from within the Latin American/Caribbean culinary tradition. The tripe was clean, none of that funky odor which many people associate with tripe dishes. The tripe itself and there was a lot of it was perfectly cooked--soft enough to almost just melt in your mouth, but with just the slightest chew left to prevent it from being mushy. But the star of the dish was clearly the broth. It was similar to a Menudo broth, but far less fatty and far richer in flavor. The broth also featured very small pieces of assorted vegetables in addition to chilis of various sorts which serve as the flavor backbone of this amazing soup. Sorry to be so excited over a simple bowl of tripe soup but it really was amazing and it satisfied a craving I've had since my last bowl of Menudo at Mary's in Santa Ana the night before we moved permanently back to the East Coast three years ago. The pupusa, which is corn masa that has been stuffed with different combinations of ingredients--in my case, crispy pork rids and cheese--is then flattened and grilled. We enjoyed lots of these at the many El Salvadorean restaurants also located across Southern California. The pupusa itself was much lighter and moister in the middle than the ones from El Salvador which I've previously enjoyed. The curtido which is customarily served with a pupusa is a wilted and pickled cabbage and carrot slaw, typically speckled with bits of fried Mexican oregano and often little slivers of fresh jalape

Folks this is a must order so listen and drink up. Rhode Island Calamari & a cup of New England Clam Chowder started my dining expereince off.

Three meals came out ( missing my clam boil) and my friends clamboil was filled with peppers and even the clam broth. Our waitress said my boil was on the way out and proceeded to go to kitchen. I asked her to talk and she ignored me. My friend wanted to return hers to the kitchen to get no hot peppers. When the waitress came out- she proceeded to give a clamboil to another table. So here I sit with no food. When asked to get my friend the right dinner she said cook was new and didn't know what we wanted.! She took my friends clamboil back and came out with one still wrong. Still sitting with no food. By then the two friends who had there food was done and my friend and I still had no food. I called the waitress over and said we were leaving and she said ok. No integrity and still continued to blame cook, but she was ignoring us and hiding in the kitchen and waiting on other tables. So sad because I frequently used to eat here before I moved away and was very excited to go there. No manager around. Another thing- we were given take out menus to look at- no real menus??!! Aweful experience!
