I have tried most things on the menu and have loved everything. The food is delicious, authentic, and perfectly seasoned... The "but" that's coming is to do with my frustration over them being out of potato salad every single day of the week. I LOOOVE potato salad and am very picky...so this potato salad is perfect. If you know you are going to sell out of it everyday because people love it and buy it...wouldn't you make enough of it to sell to people who want it?? read more

Pito's Restaurant 1 - El restaurante - Spanish Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Unbelievably good! Came here to grab some takeout and everything looked so fresh, and so good. Took home a container of rice, yuca, beef and another container of rice, yuca and chicken and both were just amazing! Containers were only $7 a piece and portion sizes are huge. Absolutely a must! read more

Pitos restaurant has delicious food and wonderful people. I would recommend going there for a quick lunch or dinner.

I would definitely recommend this place for some awesome food. Let me start off by saying, the plates are mad cheap at $6 for one meat and a huge portion of rice or $8 for two meats. I got the 2 meat plate with rice and beans, some kind of beef and chicken. The chicken was awesome, I wish I would of just got the chicken instead of getting the two meats. There was so much flavor and the chicken practically fell off the bone. The beef was more of a beef stew, it wasn't my favorite and I doubt I would get it again but it still tasted alright. Lastly the rice and beans were good but I think I wouldn't enjoyed it more with the white rice, it didn't seem to go very well with my plate. This is a little store front on the middle of broad Street, so be prepared to have to park and walk because everything in the immediate vicinity seemed to be taken, I parked on a side road about a quarter mile down from broad and walked up. If you don't speak Spanish, it may be a little difficult to understand what to order, or even what everything is. I hope you try it out! read more

I happen to like this Pito better than the more reviewed Pito's on Cranston street. Not because of Location (both are in socio-economically disadvantaged neighborhoods); Service (both have hard working people on board); Space (this one is smaller and more cramped); or the Food (similar Dominican offerings).... It's because of the Community. I have a bottomless appetite for Interesting, Funny, and All Around Good Times and whenever I start feeling like my store of snappy, sassy comebacks for the (ahem) *well deserving* needs replenishment, I can just stand in line for a lesson from the pros (usually servers). Today's example: Server: What do you want. Regular: .... (long pause. What he wants from her isn't for sale.) Server: (Server decides to scoop up yellow rice and a pork chop.) Any sauce? Regular: .... Server: (scoops sauce) Pepsi? Regular: (whining) What... you don't remember me... I always get the same thing... I was just here yesterday.... Server: Not today, My Love. Moral of the story: Food is good, Education is priceless. Stop being scaredy cats, yelpers, and do as the wise Bob Barker said, "Come on Down!" Really, come on down. It's good and the price is right. read more

Pito's Restaurant 1 - a white takeout container filled with rice and meat - Spanish Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

This place needs some Yelp love! We were on an adventure on a Sunday morning because the wait at Brickway was ridiculously long and we were hungry. Luckily we ended up at this place, and we were very happy to have stumbled upon it! Cafeteria style with plastic plates and cutlery, styrofoam cups for their shakes and juices. Lots of stews. Stewed pork ribs, stewed chicken, stewed pig's feet, Jamaican patties, fried fatback, pickled onions, pickled beets... It is an intimidating part of town to be in, but the people that work there are such sweethearts, and the clientele is charming. Everyone is "Mi amor" to the staff. That's the kind of place it is. There is a even a photo of Sheldon Whitehouse with the owner, though this is not one of those places that you go to to be seen. In summary: cheap really good creole food with nice staff in a not-so-nice part of town. read more

Pito's is a place that I hold near and dear to my heart. Some of my friends are afraid to go here because of the location and their perception of what they think the food is like. Let me tell you. This place is the home of soul food. I go here at least once a month for a good feed. They have cafeteria style serving so there is never a wait, unless people are in line ahead of you. Just writing this makes me crave their goat. I love the stewed meats they serve, beef, goat, ox tail, pork, chicken, you name it. All the food is absolutely delicious soul food. Pito's ins't the prettiest place but they have been in business for at least 30 years and they have not changed. That has to say something about how they are doing things. Treat yourself to a delicious filling meal. I have never left hungry. read more

When in Providence......Great Latin Caribbean food very affordable and generous amount of food, kids love it, if in the area you must try them, you will not regret read more

Overall is a good place. I give it 4 stars because there is only one person that speaks English. When she is busy with other customers you have to wait for awhile. Overall good food cheap. read more

I'd like to know how this place had so many good reviews!!? Went there today for lunch and the food was gross. First I asked for Spanish meat pies and was given the Jamaican meat pies, which were disgusting!!! The white rice had a burnt taste to it, the beans and beef had no flavor to it whatsoever! The beef was tough too. Never again. They use to be the spot to go years ago smh idk what happened! read more

Pito's Restaurant 1 - Mmmmmm yummmmmmmmm!!!! Yes I'm greedy it's been a while. Need to move this to Florida - Spanish Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Great home style dominican cuisine. You see all types of ethnicities at pitos all for one reason. Its damn good! While it does take a lot for me to order dominican style food solely because I am dominican myself if I had to choose any place to go to it would be Pitos. The staff is friendly if you can speak Spanish but if you can't speak their language then you will have to settle with a staff asking you how much? Or what do you want as they do not speak great english. The only problem with this place is the decor inside it looks a little run down, they could probably invest in decor from this decade and attract more customers. Overall pitos is historic and no matter where you come from everyone knows pitos restaurant. read more

My ratings based on the food quality esp. For the price. Most won't be in the area but if you find yourself in the concrete desert I'd stop in here for a 5$ lunch plate salad rice and beans and a meat. It is delicious Dominican food at a reasonable price dont judge the location or venue just try it lol especially if your the type to go to mcdonalds or something discusting for lunch might as well get a plate of hot home made food read more
