One of the best places around with amazing food. The owner I believe who was at the register was the most accommodating & friendliest person. Went above and beyond, and they deserve the recognization for that alone. The vibes are amazing & you are treated like family!!! read more

After always driven bye I finally decided to stop in , wish I didn't , my corn tortillas weren't cooked , I ordered tacos and a Gordita (steak). Was so greasy , it was like the kid cooked it and scooped the grease and steak in the taco,instead of draining the meat, I actually got sick from all the grease , and I'm just stating facts not talking shit, and my avocado that I paid extra for was rotten. Poor very poor , won't be going back, and I am kitchen manager at a restaurant, I know what I'm talking about , next time cook the tortilla , to wear it has a little color on them , drain your meat , and if the avocado's are rotten don't serve them , thank you read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant to order from. All of their food tastes authentic and fresh. Their birria tacos are the best around. Their tacos, tamales, and soup are great too. The workers are friendly and attentive. The owner recently bought the unit next door which offers more seating for events. Happy to say they've never disappointed! read more

I ordered the shrimp taco supreme. Very Delicious, friendly and fast service. Love the sitting area and the plants in the front. I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. read more

Tacontento - Shrimp tacos (supreme) order of 4 - Tacos Near Me - Pawtucket, Rhode Island

Extremely disappointed, this costed my $16 plus tax. The chicken is over cooked, that sauce is okay not good. There's barely any substance in the enchilada lol it's all taco shell. The rice and beans taste slightly odd. read more

Tacontento - Enchiladas - Tacos Near Me - Pawtucket, Rhode Island

Ate there last night with two other friends! It's located on a side street with neighboring parking we were lucky enough to find parking right in front of the establishment! This restaurant is family owned so we were happy to support a local business, we were greeted upon arrival, they have an extensive menu of not just tacos but soups, sandwiches and other delicious traditional Latin dishes! We ordered a chorizo torta, the ramen soup and fajitas, side of fries, we also purchased jaritos tamarid and a Diet Coke. The food cake out quickly and it was all delicious. We ate in and the gentlemen who took care of us brought us the extra utensils and plates we needed to share. Very good service and the place was super inviting, well decorated with lively plants and Latin wall decor. We definitely felt welcomed and enjoyed the music in the background. Clean bathroom and happened to notice they have a hall you can rent for parties great to know. Adorable place with plenty of seating if you choose to dine in. read more

DONT COME HEREEE Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had with a business. I paid a deposit to reserve a date for my party, but they double-booked the space and gave it to another group. My name was never entered into their records, and the receipt for my payment conveniently "disappeared" from their book. I think they definitely ripped it out beforehand. When I asked about it, they blamed me for not having a receipt -- even though they should have one if their end as a business. On top of that, the place is disgusting, there were rats in the bathroom. When we first arrived to set up, they weren't even ready for us. As I was waiting the man working there awkwardly said I could have a ginger ale "because he felt bad," clearly knowing they had messed up. The most infuriating part? They handed the space over to a Mexican family because of racism. While they were laughing and joked about us "splitting the party," completely dismissing the situation. That level of disrespect and racial bias is unacceptable. If you value your time, money, or basic human respect, stay far away from this place. They ruined my whole birthday and they will ruin your event as well. read more

Tacos are the best around. Great staff and less of choices. Recommend the pastor tacos!

The food here is great. Alex says it may be his favorite burrito ever. Additionally, a lot of people I work with love to order from here for lunch. I've had the burrito, quesadilla, and tres leches cake. Both the burrito and quesadilla are large portions. If I'm okay with a more greasy and messy experience, I think I'd prefer the quesadilla. It's a more protein froward dish and the meat is really well flavored. I am particularly impressed by the carnitas. The burrito has a medium amount of rice in it, but it's well seasoned and adds to the taste. There is seating in the restaurant, and the overall feel is very casual. I've only ordered to pick up, and they are generally ready with your order in 10-15 minutes. The people working here have seemed very friendly and helpful. I don't think there is any designated parking, and street parking in this area can be a little difficult depending on time of day. read more

We love this place! Everyone I know that has had Tacontento, has never been disappointed by them! Its a local business in Pawtucket and the owner and staff are always super nice. We usually get an order of the Birria Tacos (they don't normally come with cheese which is the way i like mine, but you can ask for cheese to be added), a chorizo burrito, and some steak soft tacos! All of it is just so delicious! EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! We literally just had it last night and i'm already drooling just thinking about it! read more

Tacontento - the famous Birria (SOFT tacos regular) - Tacos Near Me - Pawtucket, Rhode Island

This neighborhood spot is always busy because they serve up some delicious and authentic food. The menu is simple and the food is consistently good. We've tried a variety of the proteins inside their tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and tortas and have been happy with all of them. The food is flavorful but on the mild side, so if you're looking for a little bit of heat, ask for some hot sauce/salsa on the side. We typically order by phone for pick up but they also offer online ordering and delivery options too. They also have some seating inside and a really impressive assortment of plants inside along the windows. The birria tacos are my favorite and I will often order an extra side of consume and make some instant ramen and pour the consume over it, then dunk the tacos in that. (picture included) read more

Tacontento - Carnitas Taco Taco Supreme Carnitas Taco Supreme Tostada Carnitas Tostada Gordita - Tacos Near Me - Pawtucket, Rhode Island

I stopped here on a delivery and was so drawn in by the menu that I ended up ordering food. They had 3 different kinds of tamales, so I ended up ordering all three to try as deluxe with lettuce and the toppings . They came in a corn husk and filled about 2 to a large container. My favorite was definitely the cheese in terms of flavor however it coagulated pretty quickly so it was hard to chew through. The chicken and pork were good but could of used more seasoning. The masa on all three were so moist and kinda had a kick to it which was awesome. For $3 a pop, it wasn't bad but I'll probably be trying the tacos next time read more

Great food and the dining area is really nice. Lots of plants and they have some for sale as well. Authentic food you would find in cali

Homemade tamales and delicious tacos, yum! Absolutely incredible tamales, they're amazing (not to mention almost impossible to find.) The tacos are also amazing. Everything is super fresh, and the food isn't at all greasy, it tastes wholesome. I ordered delivery but look forward to dining in with friends also. Delivery was on time, and food was packaged perfectly. read more

El patore es el mejor! Delicious pork in tacos, corn shells with perfect crunch, balanced with fresh toppings

Nothing authentic about this place. Everyone who wrote a 5 star review must have never had authentic Hispanic food. Why would you ever deep fry Enchiladas? The beans were greasy and the burrito was tasteless. Everything tasted like it was cooked with old leftover grease. Please go anywhere else. read more

Tamales, tacos & quesadilla are filling, meat is tender and sauce is good. Will have to try the pozole & lengua tacos next time.l read more

Tacontento - Tacos Near Me - Pawtucket, Rhode Island

I'm hesitant to tell you how good this little storefront is - everyone finds out and it gets ruined. But this is the best Mexican I've had since our last visit to Arizona. Not Tex Mex, just Mex. Quality shines through. Best, best tamales- not too much cornmeal and great pork filling. We also had five crispy spicy chicken tacos ($7) that had a perfect snap and tasty fillings So bright and clean, the man behind the counter was welcoming and delightfully friendly So there you are- don't go there, you'll ruin the best place we've found in providence for fresh Mex in our 35 years here. And we've been looking diligently. It was worth straying from my beloved keto plan. read more

This is a great little taco shop! It's small but inviting, it's clean, staff are friendly and they have a cute little waiting area for take-out with a fish tank. The menu is small and that's definitely not a bad thing. It's also really inexpensive for such good food. I've tried about half of the menu over the last few years. Everything is good, it just depends on your preference. My go-to is usually their carnitas on a tostada, but they're great on or in pretty much everything on the menu, and my wife loves their veggie burritos. Honestly my favorite thing about this place is the hot sauce/salsa, it's the perfect heat and consistency. Only downsides are that sometimes there can be a bit of a wait, and they run out of gorditas pretty quick. Other than that it's a place worth checking out. read more

I love this place. It is just a good old classic taco shop. A Consistently delicious home cooking taste with an always gracious smiling guys to welcome you as you walk in. Very low prices for amazing Mexican cuisine. I'm always satisfied when I come here. read more

Definitely a lucky find! I came here a few weeks ago and loved it but, I couldn't remember the name! Luckily though, everyone seems to love this place as much as I do, and the ratings don't lie. Everything here is as close to traditional Mexican cuisine as one can come in this town. At least from my experience so far. The even have elote (grilled corn on the cob)! Definitely no frills but who needs them when you ha e such delicious food. Recommend stopping in to fulfill all of your cravings for Mexican food. read more

Very tasty food and easy carry-out options. Tacos and burrito were fresh and hot. Would definitely eat there again.

My girlfriend and I have been looking for a good authentic local taco spot for some time, and we've now luckily found it with this place. Been here many times, always good and great prices. They are consistent as well with the food quality. The couple of workers that have served us, are very friendly. Try it out, if you speak Spanish or not, they are friendly and speak English. We've been with our two kids, who like the tacos and soda :-) The place is clean and welcoming, with a relaxing vibe. It's a small place, we usually eat in, but there's always enough tables. The place is always busy, but not crazy busy, in my opinion a good thing! I usually get tacos, with cilantro and onions, traditional style. Can't beat the price per taco. Tried the chicken, pork, steak and chorizo, all good. The tamales are solid and the panbazo is different but good. Try it out, if your giving it a second thought. They have Jarritos (Mexican brand soda) got to have a mandarin one every time I'm here. Always a good experience coming here! read more

Excellent soup again! My favorite taco spot, quesadilla and nachos and especially the aqua y Jamaica the best! I still can't make that drink as good as this spot. I recommend the steak tacos and pork soup very delicious great portions and of course the Jamaica aqua it's refreshingly good read more

We were driving from Providence to Boston and stopped here to grab lunch because of the reviews. Do I dare say that they have the best tacos we have ever had?

Great customer service ,Spanish &English speaking, great selection on the menu , good Mexican style food highly recommended

I really wanted to give this place more stars but I feel like I was duped by fake stars or if they are real, I was duped by people without taste buds. Everything was bland but the personality of the store and the workers. They ambiance was great, the worker made me feel very welcomed but the food . I was starving after sitting 6 hours to get my hair braided and I had a long ride back home to Boston so I was unfortunately forced to eat this stuff. The steak looked nothing like the pictures, it was super duper thin sliced and over cooked. Worst than jerky. Beans, bland, salad.... I don't know how... bland. Al Pastor tacos... bland. Like seriously, how do you mess these up. If cooked in the traditional way there would have been flavor. I mean even the garnish of onions and cilantro didn't have a taste. I honestly don't even know how this happened. Onions and cilantro both have very strong and distinct flavors but I couldn't taste anything. I even ate an onion and a piece of cilantro individually just to see if it was me. And no flavor. I do feel bad writing this but you didn't feel bad serving me that paper thin steak which by the way didn't have the onions as I requested in my order. read more
