“Stopped in for a late lunch early dinner and the food was amazing. Service was excellent. I do like when the owner is very much involved. He stopped by to check on us to make sure we were satisfied with the food and service from his staff. Mexizol has moved to the top of our list for best mexican restaurants in the area! We will be back again!!
Came back again and they continued to impress me. How many restaurants have you been too where it is the owner that is working the Host station and seating everyone that comes in? The wait staff is also amazing. Tonight Beverly P. Was our waitress. She was extremely friendly and very attentive. We will definitely become regulars here!“

“As a born & raised San Diegan trapped in Connecticut, I’m a snob when it comes to Mexican food. I happened to be in Johnston on business when I noticed California Taco Shop. Of course I turned my nose up & said “ha! That’s funny.” But like anybody on their high horse, I had to try it. I got the California burrito, 5 rolled tacos, & a horchata. The horchata was SPOT ON! I thought I was back home for a minute & not in Rhode Island. The California burrito was quite good, & quite stuffed. But not just with filler. With FLAVOR! The rolled tacos were a little shorter than back home, but the flavor more than made up for it (& again, just comparing it to what I grew up on I dug the decor & the music in the background. Reminded me of weekends at the National City Swap Meet. It’s about an hour-fifty from my house, but I’ll be back!“

“9/2/25— I was on the hunt for tamales, so I drove here. Sadly, they only sell tamales on weekends. Instead, I bought some bread and a few other things. I found out that once the weather cools, they will start making atol de elote. I remember seeing this store when it first opened and have watched it grow little by little. I really like their bread—it’s always fresh. I recommend this place!“
