Dominican Restaurants near Cranston, RI

“I had the pleasure of visiting Vincent Restaurant in Cranston on their very first day, and I must say, I was impressed by both the ambiance and the food. The restaurant had a welcoming vibe, and to top it off, it was baby Vincent's birthday! They kindly offered us complimentary empanadas to celebrate, which was a thoughtful gesture.

We ordered the chicken empanadas, and while they were good, I found them a bit on the dry side. I personally would have a little more seasoning in the chicken for a bolder flavor, but the accompanying sauce liked helped balance things out. On the other hand, the bread with tomatoes was incredible—absolutely no complaints there!

Given that it was their first day, I expected a few service hiccups, and we did encounter one. My fiancée Hilary ordered the chicken fettuccine Alfredo, but they brought out the shrimp version instead. Fortunately, she didn't mind and enjoyed the dish regardless. I opted for the chicharrón mofongo, and while it was tasty, I felt it could have used a bit more meat and a side of sauce to allow for some extra flavoring if desired. I mentioned this to the waiter, who was quick to address my feedback and provided the sauce on the side.

Overall, it was a great experience in a prime location. I’ll definitely be returning and wish them much success as they continue to grow and improve!

Spanish Review:

I was lucky enough to visit Vincent Restaurant in Cranston the first day they opened, and I must say I was impressed with both the atmosphere and the food. The restaurant had a cozy vibe, and to top it all off, it was little Vincent's birthday! They offered us complimentary empanadas to celebrate, which was a very kind gesture.

We ordered the chicken empanadas, and although they were good, I found them a little dry. In my opinion, the chicken lacked a little more seasoning for a stronger flavor, but the accompanying sauce helped balance the dish. On the other hand, the bread with tomatoes was incredible, absolutely nothing to fault!

As it was their first day, I expected some hiccups in service, and indeed we had them. My fiance Hilary ordered a chicken fettuccine Alfredo, but they brought her the shrimp version. Fortunately, he didn't mind and enjoyed the dish anyway. I opted for the chicharrón mofongo, and although it was tasty, I felt it could have had a little more meat and an additional sauce on the side for more flavor if desired. I mentioned it to the waiter, who quickly fixed my order by bringing the sauce.

Overall, it was a great experience in a privileged location. I will definitely be back and wish you much success as you continue to grow and improve.“

“I liked the food variety they had. The service was polite and professional. I had the goat stew and the meat was juicy and it practically melted from being so tender. They gave me a good portion of avocados green boiled bananas and yautia. They also have a great variety of fresh juices. It's a small shop but very clean and tidy!“

“Best Spanish food in North Providence. 2053 Savor on Smith St in North Providence is a must-try for Caribbean food lovers. Their Spanish rice, chicken, pork, and fish dishes are deliciously authentic. With a welcoming vibe and friendly staff, it's a top spot for a flavorful dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“I ordered a chicken in cream with winks at the end ?? oh new owners and they cook very well! the food was take away and everything apart. I'm a sucker for eating, but oh, I ate well. The employees are also very friendly and professional. I couldn't take a photo of it. But soon I want to approve the fish that they told me is the end.“

“It's a true Domenican Style restaurant. Cafeteria style. Absolutely fantastic food here. I eat here at least three times a month if you don't speak Spanish don't worry, they speak enough English lol..if you live or work near here, go eat here; your stomach will love you for it!

Kid-friendliness: Sure

“It's so standard, it's supposed to be a small restaurant but it doesn't feel that way. The chicken is good, it seems they always run out of batata (sweet potatoes). And their system is so old fashion they have a notebook where they write everything. For special holidays is chaos because of the ordering system, a notebook usually sell more then what they have.“

“ALMOST as good as Pito's 1 on the Southside. Don't eat Mexican... Dominican stewed beef with the carrots over seasoned rice and beans! With plenty left over for lunchtime tomorrow. Don't forget to order "chinola" jugo to drink the local Dominican word passion fruit.“

“Delicious authentic steak tacos and steak taco salad and chips & salsa will definitely be back“

“Love Mofungo and it’s close to home“

“Best honey hot chicken sandwich i think ive ever had!!“
