9 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.“

“For starters. how about filling the drinks instead of bringining a partial drink that's FULL of ice. I asked the server what the deal was. He told me that they are only allowed to put 4.5 Oz or they'll get fired. WTH. That's ridiculous.“

“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.“

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

“My dad and I ate here yesterday for Father's Day. Pops had a high blood pressure episode and we actually had to call the paramedics. The manager and all the staff were so lovely, so discreet, and the most professional, respectful, and attentive superstars I've had help me with a family member having an episode in public. I've been assisted by trained medical professionals who were less kind. Before dad lost consciousness, the food was crazy good and served piping hot. We sat at the bar, and I wish I got his name to give credit because the bartender ensured our spot was clean and our drinks were always full. While the paramedics were checking dad out, a priest even popped in to pick up his order (not kidding), so the establishment even has God's approval. 15/10 would eat and experience more family drama here again. PS - dad's doing awesome, and we're both so grateful for you and your staff's swift intervention <3“

“My go to place for a quick lunch is Baja’s. Their burritos are amazing and a great value for the price as well. They recently added birria tacos to their menu as well and they are pretty good. My go to is a rice bowl with steak, maduros and avocado. Check these guys out, you won’t regret it!“

“Today I got an order of birria tacos; some of the best I've ever had! Haven't been here in a long time but they are doing something right. Authentic and fresh tasting, plus the super hot salsa is what it says it is.....insanely hot. Which I love. So many places I tell to make it spicy and they just never seem to hit that mark. Great job and very friendly staff. I'll be back ASAP“
