    Last time I rated it 4 stars but now it is no doubt 5 stars. Why? The guy at the counter makes it a pleasurable and fun experience. The food never ceases to amaze! To think it all started in a truck and it is still awesome. The specials of the day keep the taste buds excited. My all star lineup is 1 special taco, PBJ and a Southwest. Also a BLT burrito add chix extra mayo!! Never gets old. You better try this place out.

    When I returned to Poco Loco--one of my favorite local places--for lunch today, little did I expect to try the day's special: Chinese Takeout Burrito! I'd never heard of it so when I asked about it I was informed it has spring rolls and Asian slaw. It is so delicious! Just one more reason to love this place. Not only is the service always polite, fast, and efficient, but they're doing interesting things with their menu. And as I cashed out, I couldn't resist grabbing a sea salt caramel brownie homemade by the owner's mother (I think I am remembering that correctly). There's not a lot of room for sit-down meals so takeout may be your best option, but either way your mouth and tummy will be very happy. (And your wallet, too: prices are very reasonable especially for the quantity of food you get.)

    The hubby and I were checking out at nearby V-Mart when we were wondering how long it would take to get to our usual taco/burrito shop when the gentleman in front of us heard us and had thought we were talking about Poco Loco. We had never been until today but decided to check it out since we like checking out new places when we can. As soon as we walked in and looked at the menu, I set my expectations on the low side especially when I saw that ground beef was among the meat options... I went with the ground beef burrito w/ pinto beans, while the husband went with the chorizo-potato burrito and an order of the pan sheet nachos to share. The place seemed pretty busy with people coming in and out for to-go orders or eating in so maybe I might have set my expectations too low... As soon as the food came in and took the first bite, I had set my expectations just right. The food was good and can tell the ingredients were fresh but...it lacked that pop of flavor that you find at a legit Mexican joint. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my meal but being a person of Latino descent and having authentic Mexican food almost all my life, I could tell this place caters to those that like a more subdued version of Mexican. If you're the kind of person that likes Mexican but without the heavy spices, this place is for you. If you're looking for authentic Mexican, I recommend going elsewhere. I doubt I'll be back but was glad I at least tried this place out and walked away satisfied.

    Really good food at good prices! The burritos were nasty, although the napalm burrito wasn't spicy whatsoever. Also, no bathrooms, had to buy water and wash my hands with that.

    Do they have late night hours?

    The Shop in Cranston is open until 10pm Tue through Saturday. Occasionally the truck does evening events, but not late night anymore.

    Is it BYOB?

    Sure is! There is an awesome liquor store across the street with lots of local micro brews. Edgewood Liquors.

    The chilaquiles here (dinner portion in pic) are my favorite dish in Warwick! Really great overallread more

    Went here last week for cinco de mayo. I knew it would be busy but decided to give it a try. They…read moresaid it would be a 30ish minute wait. Understandable. BF and I got a couple margs and waited outside. 40 mins goes by so I go in and check. They say it'll be another 20ish mins. 30 mins goes by and they say another 30 mins. Pretty hangry at this point. Again, I get its cinco de mayo. We finally get seated more than an hour and a half later. We order the guac and tortilla chips as an app. Guac wasn't bad. Chips were stale like they were out all day of cinco de mayo. My BF orders steak tacos as his entree. I order the Cochinita Pibil. "Slow cooked pork in achiote. Served with rice, beans and tortillas". We finally get that 30 mins later. His tacos were subpar to say the most. Quote "I wouldn't get tacos here again". My dish was the BLANDEST meal I've ever had in my life. It tasted like nothing. I was visibly upset when the waitress finally walked by 15 mins later and told her I couldn't eat it. She asked if I wanted something else so I told her I'd just have the steak tacos because I was starving at this point. She then asked if I wanted a box for the entree I originally ordered and I said no because it didn't taste good at all and neither of us would eat it. She began to walk away and I politely asked if she would still charge me for the cochinita pibil and she said yes so I told her I wouldn't want anything else and to just give us the check once my bf was done with his meal. She didn't pay attention to me the rest of the time we were there. She did end up charging us for that bland plate. Pretty sad. I regret not asking to talk to someone because I guarantee no one in that kitchen would have enjoyed it either, as they were all Hispanic from what I could tell. I myself am Central American so I know authentic dishes. Sad to say I will not be going back there. Good luck!

    This place! We met 2 of our favorite people here for dinner…read morelast night.... What a great place! The queer o meter is a solid 10. The staff were all wonderful, kind people. The pics speak for themselves I think. The drinks are huge and let me say they have a heavy pour there. They even let me tweak their spicy drink to make it a weird version of a Bloody Mary. the salsa and chips are complimentary, which I love. And both delicious. The chips are thin lightly salted and warm! Yes!!! I got the fajita. It was exactly what I was expecting and wanted. Nicely seasoned tender steak and chicken strips on slightly charred onions and peppers. If I had to complain here, it'd be I like a ton of onions and peppers. Their's is more meat heavy. Not really compliant though, am I right?! Everyone else enjoyed their meals and I have to say it's a ton of food. Not the cheapest place but I feel fair for what you get and yummy. With 7 boozy drinks, 4 entrees and couple extra "side items" ie. A horchata etc it came to about $50pp. It would've been 1/2 that without the boozy drinks for sure. Anyhoo.... Do I recommend? Absolutely! We will be back to eat and drink up another evening until our hearts content. In the meantime, enjoy your meals and... CHEERS!

We've been to…read moreCondesa's other location in Smithfield before and had a great meal there so figured we couldn't go wrong here. Upon entering, they have a nice outdoor area to eat with playful decor that makes you feel like you're in Mexico! We were seated immediately, but we must've just gotten there at the right time cause they were so packed! Our waitress brought over water and chips and salsa and gave us a few moments to review the menu. We ordered drinks, a steak quesadilla, and the rib eye tacos and fish tacos. Food came out quick and the staff were incredibly attentive. The steak quesadilla was yummy but I wish they had the sour cream and salsa or something on the side for it. It was only drizzled on top but since they were overlapping, it didn't feel like there was enough. But that's 10000% just personal preference! it was still very delicious! The cabo fish tacos were so yummy, we got them fried and they had a good crisp to is. But the star was the rib eye tacos. SO good! the green guacamole sauce that comes with it paired so well with the rib eye flavor. Hands down my favorite of the night! both orders of tacos also came with beans and rice. We definitely had leftovers for the next day! Highly recommend this location! Staff was incredible, parking is easy, food was great!
