“Our new go-to dinner spot - I rarely ever write reviews so if you are reading this, do not hesitate to go here!! The food is fresh, hot, and the menu is extensive. The service is excellent. We have had nothing but wonderful, attentive, & friendly wait staff. From the bar to the dining room, the staff here delivers! The guacamole is so fresh, the chips are homemade, and the drinks are delicious. I don't understand any of the negative reviews, b/c this place is AWESOME.

“Edit: we were in our old neighborhood, and my daughter decided she wanted her childhood favorite. Wrong move; we both are very sick now with puking and diraharear non-stop last night. She lives at college and has been puking and shitting her brains out all night and so have I.

I loved Poco Loco when we lived in Edgewood we loved it now that we live Narragansett. We drive up just for a fix“

“Staff are always friendly and accommodating when asking for a change to the order. If you take your food to go and realize it was made wrong, as long as you bring back both the food and the receipt, they're happy to remake the food. I've definitely revisited this place several times in the past week alone.

Dietary restrictions: If the staff is made aware of any allergies, they make sure that no contact with the allergen is made.

Parking: Located in a plaza with plenty of parking, but the area in front of the store does fill quite fast

Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and booths that move, as well as tables with chairs that pull out for easier access when seating.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's no stairs to get in and the food selection in the front is low enough that it can be seen from a wheelchair. They also have handheld menus at the front for if you can't read the screens.“

Vincent Restaurant Salad • $$
24 Haven Ave, Cranston

“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.“
