10 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near East Providence

“My favorite spot!!!!!!!!!“

“I love Baja’s the food is amazing! The atmosphere is loving and comfortable. The staff are always friendly and welcoming! I would recommend 10/10! I would love to see them more in the CT area. Preferably Bristol, CT or Southington, CT!“

“Local RI chain that serves great Mexican fast food.

My colleagues from Providence have been telling me to try Baja’s for months. According to them, it’s basically an upgraded Chipotle with a much bigger menu. Drove down for a late-night meal, and since this location by Brown is the only one open past midnight, it was still pretty busy even on a Sunday.

The first thing that caught my eye was the chimichangas. I haven’t had one since my college days, so I had to get it. Not as fat or indulgent as the one I used to get in NC, but the protein options here were much better. They go lighter on the rice and beans by default, so it didn’t hit the same level of comfort-food fullness.

Also grabbed a steak burrito bowl, and that was exactly what my colleagues meant. Fresh toppings, good sauces, and most importantly, steak that’s freshly grilled. Not the dry pre-made stuff you get at most chains.

If you’re curious what Rhode Islanders get for their Mexican cravings, this is a fun place to check out.“

“Tortilla Flats is my go to restaurant. Great food, good service, and a great place to meet friends. This place rocks. Try the Mojito. it's the best around.“

“We went on a busy Saturday night, but that was not a problem at all, since we were able to walk around the shopping center. The food at any Chili's that I've been to, had always been delicious, and this was no different. Kind staff and good food were a treat, for this out-of-towner!!“

“excellent staff great tacos, hidden gem“

“It sure felt like they were family in there and that’s what I can appreciate. The way they worked so efficiently made me enjoy the place so much! It was busy but it moved quick. One person had to get back in line because he wanted to order something else and the person that was paying was waiting at the register so that was holding things up but other than that, I love the place. You will def hit your protein goal here with the amount of food they put give! Def will be coming back!“

“Nearly perfect! Food was delicious, had to remind server about some missing items. The music was perfect, my MIL was not looking forward to eating but ended up grooving to a song she hadn't heard in a while and it made the experience fun as she was dancing and eating her burger. Wife's go-to was great but when did Chili's stop caring about their boneless wings, no longer adding green onion. Ever since they started their confusing lil side gig where they're just selling wings/boneless wings...it's not been the same. My FIL loves his Cajun Pasta. I usually go with the Smokehouse Combo but was happy trying the Fajita Trio. Solid 4 stars with 5 star potential.“

“Andrea was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. The service at Baja’s was excellent from start to finish — fast, professional, and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend them to others!“

“I love it I eat there when I’m in town“
