Tapas Restaurants near Pawtucket, RI

“So, last night I needed to have a business meeting with a business partner that wanted to stay out of downtown after working all day in the city. We chose Hangry Kitchen, just 6 minutes from downtown. So much that I could say about the meal. But I will summarize it. I asked if I could get a side of tomato juice for my beer. (Yeah beer and tomato juice is amazing). They did not have any canned or bottled tomato juice. THEY JUICED SOME TOMATOS! The rest of the meal was just as memorable. Check them out (in between food truck visits)!“

“Very nice and relaxing atmosphere“

“Friendly folks and out of this world food. Come meet Carlos, the best human. Foodies will love the tapas menu.“

“Went to the Foxes Hill neighborhood in Providence to try out a Morroccan spot, but it ended up being closed. Luckily, right around the corner was Aguardente, which is a Guatamalen & Portuguese tapas restaurant. Love the interior decorations and warm welcoming vibe. We started with quejo de cabra, rellenitos, & the minha caiparinha. Then we had the batatas fritas, empanadas de pollos, polvo grelhado, & almondegas. Everything from the service to all of the dishes being seasoned perfectly and tasted amazing.“

“We stumbled across this place tonight without realizing it was entirely Vegan. We're not Vegan ourselves, but our daughter is, so we eat a lot of Vegan cuisine. I ordered a zucchini "steak" dish that sounded unique, and my hubby got the country "chicken." Both were extraordinary - the best meal either of us has had since we moved to RI (and we've had some great meals). The food was honestly bursting with flavor, and the quantity was just right. The service was perfect, too, attentive without being intrusive. We debated getting dessert, since the dinner flavor left such a satisfying taste behind, but we couldn't resist the gluten-free chocolate brownie. It came with raspberries on top and a trickle of raspberry sauce, in a combination that was again perfect - crispy edges, a gooey center, sweet and rich but not too much so, with the raspberry flavor offsetting the chocolate in a way I've never tasted in my entire not-particularly-young life. It was so, so good, and to my surprise, it blended well with the dinner flavors. I've been sitting here all evening enjoying the last remnants of the taste, reluctant to go brush my teeth, and I thought I should take a moment to leave a review on the various sites. We will absolutely be return customers, and we can't recommend this restaurant enough!“

“Fantastic place with great service sharing wine or drinks and delicious appetizers (or a whole perfectly cooked steak platter) with a date or a few friends. The tequila cocktail and the vermouth were excellent and they offer 3 sizes of wine from a small glass to a bottle at reasonable prices. Don’t skip the chicken empanada. It may be the best one in prov. Overall a gem for the neighborhood and well worth a date night jaunt from out of town.“

“As I said “ INTERESTING PLACE ““

“We LOVED Layali. We ate there a month ago while visiting RI and my husband is still talking about the burger.“

“The food was delicious, nice and fresh- drinks were made to perfection. However, the chairs are too small for my curves. they need to be bigger and comfortable. MS. Krysan our servir was amazing!!!“

“La comida excelente y el servicio aún mejor!“

“We had a wonderful graduation dinner over the weekend. Not only was the service great, but the entire staff was wonderful!! Amazing chef prepared all the things including Paella and my favorite flan!! Do yourself a favor and get the paella, scallops and the pork belly and finish with a flan!! Thank you for a great dining experience!!“

“We have eaten there three times with friends over the past couple of months. The food has been fantastic each time, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming (prompt and efficient service too). We will definitely be going back!“

“We stopped here before a concert at Xfinity. Really some of the best food I’ve ever had! We had the margherita pizza, crispy eggplant—so good we got another order—and the bruschetta. It was all so fresh and so good. I would love to try a full dinner from there! If I lived closer I would be there all the time! I will def go back next time I’m in the area. The staff were all so amazing too!“

“Terrific food, drinks, and atmosphere. Staff was friendly and made it a great visit. We will be back again.“

“Everything we tried was exceptional.“

“After an incredibly hot visit to the Roger Williams Park Zoo, I was craving something salty and satisfying on a spiritual level. With that in mind, there's nothing else I could imagine other than a hot bowl of ramen.

Located about 1.7 miles or a 7min drive away, I was excited. Upon pulling up to the front of the building, you can drive slightly further down SE and park in the small lot with several spots.

I actually don't remember anything about the interior to comment much. I was laser focused on getting food in my tummy.

We ordered;

Tan Tan Men ; a bowl of ramen with spicy pork miso broth. this absolutely hit the spot. it was deliciously salty and full of umami, and the toppings were just right, and I inhaled it in minutes

Fried Calamari ; another excellent dish. the calamari was nice and crispy and the meat was tender. couldn't have been done any better. the mango chili puree sauce was also very good and something I haven't had before

Tako Yaki ; I'm not sure if I need to say anything about this. it's about as yummy and expected of a properly-done tako yaki as you would expect

Karaage ; this one was actually pretty upsetting with how bad it was. the chicken seemed like it was very overcooked - the skin was hard and crunchy instead of crispy, the meat was not juicy, and honestly the portions of these chicken bites were pitiful. I even sent a snap to a friend and she felt bad for me. the flavor was also immensely salty. it came with spicy mayo (which was actually spicy! that never happens!) and a tonkatsu sauce, but honestly I was desperately in need of something sweet like ketchup or honey. Wife and I ate a total of 3 pieces.

Our waiter was very apologetic and asked multiple times if we wanted it re-done or if we wanted something else, but we were already pretty content by the time we could air our complaints. To my satisfaction, he removed the karaage from the bill.

Despite the miss, the customer service and the quality of the other foods makes it easy for me to still give the place full stars.“

“It has been a while since last time I got to enjoy this restaurant. I am glad to report thag the food, service, staff and atmosphere are still the best in Rhode Island! I finally got to introduce my fiancé to this wonderful establishment and see her eyes light up, tasting everything we ordered!“

“Love Mofungo and it’s close to home“

“Tori Tomo has the very best ramen I have ever eaten. They know me well. I eat lunch there at LEAST once a week. Get the Tom Yum Ramen with Chicken. It's very hot and spicy but not inedible! It's the perfect meal. So satisfying and tasty. Most gracious owner/ chef and lovely waitstaff are always keeping the place in perfect form. It's a literal "can't miss" choice.“
