    Shrimp tacos (supreme) order of 4
    Michael S.

    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.

    Enchiladas

    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.

    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!

    They have a window full of healthy plants

    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)

    These birria tacos are best and most authentic birria tacos I've had in a very long time. Consistently always is very delicious. Service is always excellent and fast. Love this place

    Soooo I've been meaning to try this place . Got the 4 Birria tacos with cheese, which was phenomenal . Perfectly tender and flavorful meat, perfectly proportioned , great helping of onions and cilantro. consumé was extremely light, but flavorful. Also got a side of rice and refried beans.

    Tacos!

    Okay, if you love authentic "street" Mexican at a great price, this is your place. It reminds me of the best real taquerias in Los Angeles. Awesome.

    10/10!!! By far the best & most authentic tacos I've had. We had one of each regular taco and Burria Tacos and they were wonderful. Jamaica (hibiscus tea) is also very refreshing. We can't wait to come back!

The staff is super friendly, however they are reduced to only serving the food not taking the order. It is not a big deal to me, however I can see it being an issue for others.

Note the 3 tortilla chips...not sure what that is about. I could have sworn the burritos came with some sauce on the side, but not sure.

I will not go to a restaurant where I have order my food at a counter unless its fast food and even then I'll do drive through.

We wanted to try everything in the menu because we saw what people were eating and it all looked amazing! We ordered 3 tacos, chilaquiles, sopes and a Gordita. The tacos were all good but if I had to rank them I would say 1 al pastor but it has a slight kick to it, carnitas was a close second and then the carne asada. The chilaquiles were so good and my husband was happy and I was happy I didn't have to cook them lol. The sopes were good just bigger than what I'm used to so if you're use to smaller ones, don't order more than one because these are big! I ate the whole Gordita and almost forgot to breathe lol but I did order a side of refried beans and I added them to my Gordita and it was just all good!!! As a Mexican from LA, I've been searching for Mexican food all over Rhode Island and I definitely found a place worth driving over 30 minutes to. They take Apple Pay, major cards and cash. I love how friendly both ladies were and how patient they were with me and how slow I ordered all of my food.

The menu is small and yet there's always plenty of yummy things to try when I go, even as a picky eater. There are multiple vegetarian and even a vegan option or two. I always have to get the guac when I come here - it's the perfect amount of creaminess without too much onion. Their red salsa is a great slightly chunky - slightly juicy texture and has a bit of a kick. The vegan burrito bowl is my go-to as a vegetarian, and the street corn side as an app is elite! It is a little spicier these days since the recipe was updated from on the cob to off the cob (I much prefer off for ease of eating and sharing!) The Coconut Cartel margarita was creamy and smooth and went down *quick* haha. Others in my party loved the spicy Margarito, although they were out of the main spicy tequila but the servers offered substitute recommendations. I came with a very large work group today, and the servers were so patient and flexible when we asked for modifications from the menu. I even was able to order the queso dip with the chorizo on the side (yummy but very thick cheese dip!), and they were very attentive of my colleague's mushroom allergy and made sure she got dedicated dishes, even when we were all sharing apps. The churro donuts seem to have changed recipe and got mixed reviews - some thought they were dry, another says she Uber Eats just those regularly Sitting outside in the summer on the patio is nice. Tasty, interesting dishes with modern urban twists on Mexican recipes. Truly the only slight downside is that sometimes parking can be tricky in this area, but you can always find free street parking, it may just take you a little bit. Even the funky and creative decor is a selling feature for me. A must-try!

This place is small and does fill up but seems like most do take out. Parking is a bit tight and limited to street parking, but on a rainy day, there was plenty available. Staff was very friendly and attentive to getting us drinks, more tacos, and checking in on us~ my family speaks Spanish, and staff are fluent and native speakers of Spanish. Central fall caters to a mostly Hispanic population, so it's very welcoming. My partner speaks english, and with his limited Spanish, he ordered with no issue and the staff understood him well. My burrito was customized to my preference which had the cheese, rice, avocado, and no crema. Sounds very restrictive if that's just how my diet is, and I'm so glad they complied and gave me a delicious burrito! The meat was savory and tasty and the table had a container with three different sauces. The hottest was the dark red, and it was super good! I actually finished the whole meal and didn't feel too heavy. It was satisfying. The tacos were tasty, messy, but good. My partner ordered two more and he was too focused on his food to take a picture. For drinks, I got a seasonal drink called Atole Chanpurrado, which is made from corn flour, corn starch, and milk along with cinnamon. There are many versions, but this restaurant had the traditional one. It was super tasty and warm, very enjoyable on a cold rainy day. It was very homey!

    Dolores is one of those Providence restaurants that I keep finding myself coming back to, which is…read moreprobably the best endorsement I can give it. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants around, but Dolores has consistently stood out to me for the quality and care that goes into the food. I've brought other people here as well, and the reaction is usually the same: everyone leaves happy and already talking about what they want to try the next time. The food is exceptional. Everything I've had has tasted fresh, arrived hot, and had the kind of flavor that makes it clear the kitchen isn't cutting corners. There's a nice balance to the menu, with enough variety that I don't feel like I'm ordering the same thing every time, even though there are a few favorites I inevitably gravitate back toward. What I particularly appreciate is the consistency. I've been here enough times that I have a reasonable idea of what to expect, and Dolores has managed to deliver that quality visit after visit. I do have to acknowledge the elephant in the room: prices have gone up significantly recently. That's hard to ignore, and I think it's fair to mention in a review. Eating out has gotten more expensive pretty much everywhere, but the increase here is noticeable. That said, the quality of the food has remained consistent, and for me, that keeps Dolores firmly in the five-star category. I'd much rather pay a little more for food that I genuinely enjoy than pay less for something forgettable. The service has also been very good in my experience. The wait staff is friendly, helpful, and attentive without making the meal feel rushed. Service tends to move along fairly quickly, which I appreciate, particularly when the restaurant is busy. The dining room is clean and comfortable, and the bar is another highlight. They make some excellent drinks, and it's a good place to sit and enjoy one while taking in the atmosphere. If you're planning on going, I'd recommend making a reservation or getting there early. Dolores can fill up, and it's easy to understand why. Parking is probably the biggest inconvenience, since you're dealing with street parking rather than a dedicated lot. In Providence, that's hardly unique, but it is something to keep in mind if you're driving. Despite those minor inconveniences and the recent price increases, Dolores remains one of my favorite places for Mexican food in Providence. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful, the service is friendly, the drinks are excellent, and the overall experience is one that I continue to enjoy. I've brought different people here over the years, and I've yet to have someone leave disappointed. Five stars from me. Dolores has earned its place in my Providence restaurant rotation, and I'll keep coming back as long as they continue doing what they've been doing. The prices may have changed, but thankfully the food hasn't.

    Dolores is exceptional for both brunch and dinner. Every dish is made with so much heart and…read morerespect for Mexican cuisine that you can truly taste the passion in both the food and the drinks. You can't visit without ordering a margarita. We usually go for the spicy or the house margarita. For starters, we love the pescadillas, carnitas quesadilla, and the huarache. Each offers its own unique combination of flavors. For dinner, you can't go wrong with the enchiladas. Both sauce options are incredible, and the black beans served alongside them are honestly the best I've ever had. The shrimp taco, packs a flavorful punch with its spicy salsa, and the brisket and carnitas sharing tacos are always deliciously tender. If you're there for brunch, the chilaquiles and huevos rancheros are both outstanding. Dolores is a must-visit if you appreciate authentic Mexican cuisine that's thoughtfully elevated without losing its roots!
