    Phenomenal Birria tacos.
    Katie D.

    Wow! How have I slept on this place? This place is really easy to get to. Right off of 95 and super close to Rt 6. Place is so clean and visually pleasing. Good sized bar. I ordered from the menu at the front as I wanted takeout. The woman there was super nice and friendly. Didn't take long before my Birria tacos came out. Absolutely delicious! Came with some very tasty rice too. And that dip? Omg! Magnificent! Had chips and salsa too. So delicious! I will 100% be back and would love to sit at the bar too. The drinks I saw looked incredible. Highly recommend!

    Delish! Probably one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area! Service was fantastic and the atmosphere was cozy and great! I had the Pollo a La Crema which was Grilled chicken strips cooked with homemade cream cheese, mushrooms, and corn. Served with rice and guacamole salad. Omg! So gooooood!

    I visited this restaurant twice during my trip, and both experiences genuinely surprised me in the best way. On my first visit, I came in late after doing some work. The place was about to close in 30 minutes, and we were the only customers there. When the food arrived, I was a bit skeptical at first--the presentation looked simple, nothing that stood out. That opinion changed fast. I ordered the Burritos Jalisco as a quick option, and they brought out complimentary chips and salsa. I was planning to order chips anyway, so that was a great start. The salsa was incredibly fresh and flavorful. As for the burrito, the moment I cut into it and took that first bite, it completely blew me away. It was packed with rice, beans, chicken, vegetables, and chorizo--super flavorful, perfectly balanced, and much better than I expected based on looks alone. I was so impressed (and still a little curious if the first experience was just good because we were the only ones there) that I returned three days later. This time, I ordered a quesadilla with the same meats as before. The rice and veggies came on the side, and the quesadilla itself was crispy, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. The only small downside was that it was a bit greasy, but not enough to take away from how good it tasted. The only other minor issue was the wait time, but honestly, I didn't mind it at all once the food arrived--everything was extremely fresh and piping hot. The customer service on both visits was immaculate. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The atmosphere was cozy too, with holiday decorations adding a nice touch. If I ever return to this city, I'll definitely come back here, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting. They have a full menu with seafood, nachos, and plenty of other options I want to try next time. In a smaller town full of fast food, this place stands out as one of the few true sit-down restaurants--and now I understand why it's still thriving. A solid 5 out of 5. A must-try.

    Margarita flight. A must have!

    The service was great. They were very fast in asking for my order and my food, although it was just an appetizer, was ready quickly. The portions are big enough to feed at least 2 people. The margarita flight was great and my appetizer, the mini chimis were delicious!

    We were immediately greeted and sat when we entered the restaurant . The waitress was very nice and attentive . She was patient with how indecisive I was . They have a very large menu . The staff informed us that their most popular dishes are the seafood specials . Which I will have to go back for ! I ultimately decided on the steak and cheese quesadillas. The price is well worth the portion sizes . Took home left overs that I am very much looking forward too . Our orders came out fast and HOT ! The quesadilla was gooey with cheese and the steak was soft and tender . The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The cantarito speaks for itself ! It was a great balance of sweet and sour from the citrus . The tamarind stick was a treat in itself! The atmosphere of the restaurant was very "traditional" for a Mexican restaurant with a tequila tree at the entrance, sugar skulls , and inflatable beer bottle.

    I went to a ladies monthly lunch meetup here, I was so happy I made it!! The food was very well seasoned and the portions generous. I didn't have an alcoholic beverage but others did and they looked amazing! The staff were attentive and patient with the lot of us ladies, Now the decor, and paintings, and light fixtures are something to look at and appreciate. A lot of artistic items were dispersed around the restaurant, it was nice to roam and explore! There were quiet nooks and spaces for large parties as well as a large bar. Definitely want to come back with the family very soon!

    Street corn is delicious

    The food, service and vibe are A+! Alexandra always make sure we are happy and the drinks are fantastic! I refuse to go anywhere else for Mexican food! Run don't t walk!!!

    This is for sure a new favorite restaurant of mine!! I decided last minute to have my birthday dinner here and I'm so glad I did. The decor inside is so beautiful and everything is perfectly clean. We sat at the bar and our bartender was awesome. He was super friendly, made a killer margarita and was attentive the entire time. We had table side guacamole that was the best guac I've ever had..I had no idea guacamole could be THAT good. My dinner was fabulous, hot and delicious. To top it off they completely surprised me out of nowhere and with an over the top birthday "show" the loud speakers were playing happy birthday throughout the restaurant, lights went down.. workers came out with big signs, flashing lights and put a sombrero on my head lol!! Oh and they gave us a beautiful shots board all decked out. Definitely an unforgettable night I can't wait to go back :-)

    Chile Relleno & Tamale

    We discovered this spot while out of the RI Food Fight Taco Mania competition trail. Just off the main drag, in a more quiet corner of busy Seekonk, we'd never noticed it before. We're glad now that we found it! It was that weird, between meals later afternoon time around 3pm, so they we busy preparing for dinner & otherwise the place was quiet. So, sitting at the bar seemed the best option. The bartender was friendly & helpful, though busy. He quickly served us warm chips & salsa & we ordered a large queso as well. While it was delicious, it was a bit thin & messy in a huge bowl. A small probably would have been plenty. Here to try the tacos, we ordered the chicken and Quesabirria. The chicken tacos were a bit "blah" with nothing else on them except plain griddled chicken. A side of salsa verde went a long way to help, while an odd garnish of cucumber slices did little. Some cilantro & onions would have been a very welcome addition. The Quesabirria tacos, however, were FABULOUS! Bursting with flavor, juicy & cheese - a favorite for sure. We also tried their Chile Relleno with cheeese and a Tamale with chicken - two items by which we tend to judge Mexican restaurants. Both were freshly made ( they can often be frozen ), flavorful & delicious. We look forward to retuning to try more here!

We stopped in at 5 yesterday and were worried the restaurant would be busy, but we were sat immediately. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated with lots of nautical themes. Our waitress was lovely and explained the menu to us in detail. As it was our first time at a seafood boil she was very patient with all our questions. Ultimately I had the 2lb boil with 1lb of mussels, 1/2lb of shrimp, and 1/2lb of clams in the captain Loui sauce with a side of garlic noodles. Our waitress came back quickly with a bib, gloves, and a bucket for shells. Not long after our meals came out and let me tell you everything was excellent! The seafood was cooked perfectly, plenty of sauce, and even the corn and potato were out of this world. I ordered the sauce medium and it definitely had a nice kick to it. The garlic noodles had great flavor, a little clumpy but with a little of that captain Loui sauce added on top it fixed the problem. It's not cheap but for a once in a while special occasion treat I can not recommend this place enough!

I always get the pick 2 and select the shrimp with head on and mussels. Comes with some potatoes and corn; also a side of your choice (I always do extra corn or garlic noodles!) you pick your sauce (get the capt Louie sauce!) and spice level (hot! Is best). The only place I'll got 10 fingers in on a meal and let the sauce get all over my face (I usually hate eating with my hands).. it's so worth it. There's a flower vendor lady that walks around fed hill and she'll come by for your boyfriend to buy you flowers too ladies haha! My boyfriend got the fish and chips w/cajun fries and he said it was better than when we visited Newport.

Needless to say, it was a disappointing start to what was supposed to be a special family evening. Thankfully, a quick call to Aguardente in Fox Point changed everything. The person who answered explained that they weren't taking reservations that evening, but they did have one outdoor table left if we could make it there in time. Despite the challenges of navigating Providence during the World Cup festivities and the Cape Verde Festival in the Fox Point area, we managed to get to the restaurant and secure that last table. We are incredibly grateful to the staff at Aguardente for helping turn our evening around. Our daughter and son-in-law were hoping to enjoy one last dinner with both families before leaving on Monday for a special assignment in South Carolina, and the unexpected closure of our original restaurant had left everyone feeling frustrated and disappointed. From the moment we arrived, the team at Aguardente made us feel welcome. The food was excellent, the drinks were wonderful, and the service was outstanding. Most importantly, they helped transform what had begun as a stressful evening into a memorable celebration with family. Thank you to everyone at Aguardente for your kindness, hospitality, and professionalism. You made our families smile and created a special memory during an important moment in our lives. We highly recommend Aguardente and look forward to returning. -- A very grateful family

    Atmosphere: cute outdoor seating area for summer nights. The inside has cool decor (including a…read morebathroom that apparently won an award??), but is very small and cramped. The upper 'porch' like area looks really fun, but the table we were seated at was so close to the other tables I was uncomfortable. I get that we're in a city, but I value my personal space and privacy and felt like the whole restaurant could hear my every word - ick. Service: our server seemed annoyed that I didn't want an alcoholic drink, and was not very helpful. Half of the menu is not in English (very chaotic how some portions are in English and others are not, it doesn't seem consistent), so we had some questions, such as "what does x taste like?" and the only response we got was "not too sweet"....okay, but what DOES it taste like? She spoke very fast and I couldn't understand her listing off the specials, even though she didn't really have an accent. She left partway through while we were there so I guess she was just at the end of her shift and checked out, but it was so offputting how rude and unhelpful she was. When our servers transitioned, we offered to cash out then since we weren't getting anything else and wanted the original server to get her tips, but she started joking around that we didn't have to do that - which I appreciate, but we actually did want to get going and get cashed out, but she refused to give us our check. I asked three times and she still wouldn't 'let us do that'...very weird. Food: there were not a ton of vegetarian options that appealed to me. I went a little overboard on plantains by accident, which is my mistake. I first ordered the Rellenitos with cilantro crema sauce, which were very good and a flavor combination I wasn't expecting. The dough to filling ratio was a little off and they were pretty dry inside, so I needed a lot of the sauce. An order only came with 2 and I wish it was more. I'm glad I ordered something else - Tula Fries, which came with the same exact cilantro creme sauce as the Rellenitos, even though they are described differently on the menu, which felt lazy to repeat a sauce. The sauce didn't go well with them at all in my opinion so I did not enjoy these as much as I would've liked. My friend enjoyed her drink, but thought almost all of the meat on her meat and cheese board was either low quality or close to going bad. It was priced reasonably, which we were shocked by, but she couldn't eat a good portion of it sadly. We did really enjoy the baked flava bean snack that was a part of it. The board weirdly came with just half of one small, half rotten strawberry that looked terrible - it would've been better to leave it off. Towards the end of the night, there was so much water on the floor in the hallway that goes to the bathroom and passes the kitchen - I had to walk through it to go to the bathroom, which felt like a safety hazard. My friend was on crutches and wouldn't even try to get over there since we knew she'd slip on all the water. It just looked terrible and was dangerous, so not sure what we going on that there was such a water issue there. Their specialties and more meat based dishes are probably great, but there just aren't a ton of things for me to eat here. I'd be willing to try it again for drinks and apps if the service wasn't so unwelcoming.

We started out with my husband's newfound favorite, the clam cakes. I appreciated the herbiness of the breadcrumbs they were fried in. My husband got the crab roll for his entree, and I did like the bite I was able to sneak of it. I really wanted the lobster roll but that $42 price tag turned me away quickly. Instead I got the fish and chips with pollock for my entree. I am always complaining about portion sizes. Not here, I was only able to finish around 1/3 of it. It is substantial! Not only was it a generous portion, but it was really nicely fried, and I loved the flaky salt on it. My one complaint is the sauces that you pay extra for. I got some piri-piri mayo and garlic aioli. Both of these were absolutely not worth it, grossly lacking in flavor. Don't waste your money on these and stick with ketchup. The staff was friendly, helpful, and as attentive as they could be from inside the food truck. The locale is super cute with a bunch of picnic tables out on a patio. The parking is super limited though so beware. Would definitely recommend!

They only offer outdoor seating, so I'd saying nice weather is key to enjoy a meal here, but we lucked out. My wife and I placed our order at the window, and waited for them to call our name. We split a cup of clam chowder (white) and a lobster roll. Food was ready pretty quickly and was delicious. The lobster roll was not only full, but it was packed with huge chunks of meat, very tasty, it was also served with French fries. The clam chowder was also tasty, with good flavor and decent chunks of clam inside. Prices here were a bit high, but the quality of the food was very high, and very fresh. Portions are decent, as we were able to share one lobster roll and a cub of chowder, and it was adequate. They also had live music playing to add a little ambiance If you find yourself in downtown Providence, I'd recommend this as a staple to check out.
