“Juncal Mexican Grill & Bar in Cumberland, RI, is truly a hidden gem!! Everything was homemade and delicious!! The “hot sauce” is a must! The drinks were refreshing and mixed just right. The guava moscow mule is a must try! The service was amazing too. Everyone was so friendly and attentive—they really made us feel at home. The warm churros are served with hot fudge and caramel… absolutely delicious. If you’re craving authentic Mexican food, great drinks, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe, definitely give Juncal a try!“

I have yet to order the same thing twice, and everything has been delicious! We just used them as a caterer for an event and it was flawless, the portions were plentiful and everything was SO GOOD! They made it effortless, they set everything up for us and everyone had been raving about it! Bandidos will be the first place I go to for all of my catering needs in the future!“

“Coming out of class and stopped by a local place next to my house and let me tell you this food hit the spot. i recommend getting a bowl and add some shrimp to it and add that guacado sauce, and most importantly don’t forget the bev you gotta get the jarritos to add that cherry to the top. it is a nice simple dine in atmosphere and staffs were funny and very friendly with cool vibes and very positive.“

“The best chile relleno! vegetarian options! excellent margaritas! this was a wonderful dinner and experience. friendly service and excellent food. like walking into a friends home and being served the best food from grandma.. <3we went upstairs after for some music and will be back for brunch. thanks for a wonderful evening.“

“The food was really great, and includes free chips and salsa upon your arrival (we loved the salsa that came with it). Our burritos were delicious (one pastor, one carne asada) and our 3yo loved her chicken quesadilla (as did we!). They had apple juice for the little one, and jarritos for us (tamarind and mandarin) but I believe they’re working on getting a liquor license. We went around 4pm on a Sunday, so pretty quiet. Good service, good prices! I hope this place sticks around!“

“Este lugar tiene excelentes tacos Mexicanos auténticos. Los empleados también son amables y recomiendo esta taquería.“

“Big fan best breakfast around town“

“Un lugar muy agradable con una buena atención y una deliciosa comida …“

“Always a great experience and amazing food! Weekend ribs are amazing--smoky and delicious with their signature BBQ sauce! Be sure to order early as they always sell out, but worth the effort. If you can't get the ribs, I HIGHLY recommend the burgers. I know what you are thinking, but this is not just Mexican food. Nacho Mamas has THE best burgers anywhere.“

“🔥 great food and drinks !!“

“El Paso has been one of our favorite restaurants for years, and this review is long overdue. The food is consistently delicious, the service is always friendly, and the margaritas are hands down the best! El Paso never disappoints.

We were just there tonight, enjoying margaritas and pregaming for our trip to Houston to cheer on Portugal in the World Cup, and it reminded me why we keep coming back. It’s simply one of my favorite spots! If you’re looking for great food, great drinks, and a place that feels like a favorite from the moment you walk in, El Paso is it.“

“One of the best restaurants in Rhode Island. Very flavorful, well seasoned, and great food all around. It doesn’t cater to “certain” palettes. The portion size is also amazing. The price is extremely reasonable for the amount of food you get. This will be one of my new spots!“

“my second time there and it didn't disappoint, food was absolutely delicious. Went for a girls lunch prices very reasonable and we all enjoyed our meals, I highly recommend it 😀“

“I recently ordered the Enchiladas Mixtas to go and had the jalapeno pepino at the bar from Mexizol, and I am highly impressed. The dish was incredibly flavorful, packed with authentic taste, and very satisfying. The portions are generous enough to leave you completely full. And the drink was delicious. I would highly recommend trying it out.“

“Love this little neighborhood spot - great food, terrific value, nice owner…it’s a community gem! I just wish I had stopped in sooner…I could have been enjoying this food for years!

Don’t make the same mistake 😂“

“Great selection of REAL good food. Love the vegetarian and vegan options and there's ton's of great flavor in everything I've tried... from some nice light tacos to their decadent chorizo and queso dip (available with the vegan meat as well!) ... it's just all super fresh stuff, and on top of that the service is great - wicked friendly and down-to-earth small business vibe AND they get your order ready.

Sometimes the phone is busy, but every time I've just walked into put in a takeout order I'm out the door with some yummy food in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommend!“

“Another day, another chance for more tacos with the RI Food Fight's TacoMania. This time we started with Diego's. As it was a Saturday, no tables were available from reservations but we were able to grab a seat at the bar. The space is open, dark. A blend of Mexican homage and industrial brick. An open kitchen gives you the chance to watch your meal be prepared in full view. Our bartender, Greer was super friendly and balanced attentiveness. She is detail oriented and was very accommodating. She quickly took care of our drinks and got our food order in ASAP. They offered a limited menu for TacoMania and I chose the carne option. It came out in a crunchy blue corn tortilla. After a squeeze of lime, I dug in. The crunch was everything you wanted it to be and more. The beef with queso fundido made this a slight messy but overall delicious taco. We got the cornbread souffle to share and it was outstanding. The souffle itself was savory and very corn forward, as opposed to the sweeter cornbread you see in the south. They add a touch of something sweet to balance it out. My friend had the shrimp chimichirri tacos and they said they were a 10/10. So glad to find another tasty spot in the TacoMania trail!“

“Great food & drinks“
