29 Best Mexican Restaurants in Providence

“excellent staff great tacos, hidden gem“

“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!“

“Cheryl and I dined with friends last night at Casa Azul Taqueria at 840 Allens Avenue in Providence. Although the place is small, with just three tables and primarily offering takeout, the food is fantastic, featuring great vegan options. We're definitely going back!“

“Food really good good place“

“Me la comida es muy buena“

“I enjoy the different vegan and plant-based option at Plant City. There is the option to eat more casual downstairs, there is nice outdoor seating overlooking the river and bridge, and the upstairs Sezn offers fine dining. I tried Sezn for the first time and enjoyed the sweet potato gnocchi, eggplant lasagna and matcha strawberry shortcake. It was a beautiful atmosphere with very attentive staff. The food was exceptional.“

“Our second stop on our Saturday Taco crawl took us to Maiz, the Wayland Square location.The shop was decked out for the Halloween season. Inside the place reminds you of a Mexican cantina. Brightly colored flags adorning the ceiling contrasted the sand colored wall.

Our server was very nice, letting us know what our options were for the fight. I chose to upgrade mine to pastor tacos as they are my favorite type. My friends got a Birria taco, a shrimp taco and the carnitas taco.

It didn't take long before our food arrived. Fresh and hot, we quickly dived in. The pastor was flavorful, a slight char taste that made the whole thing sing a symphony for my taste buds. The shrimp taco was particularly good as well. The shrimp was succulent and the addition of the pineapple took it to the next level. The Birria meat was tender and juicy. The carnitas was a solid choice as well. Their homemade hot sauce, mild or spicy, on the side. All washed down with ice cold Mexican coke.

Another taco spot in the books as a place to return. We only live 9 minutes away so it's a sure thing for us!“

“Great food, service & atmosphere!“

“I love the food and I Love the fact that they have Real natural juice. Everyone should go! Your going to love it. Me encanta la comida y me encanta el hecho de que tengan Jugos Naturales. ¡Todos deberían ir! Les van a encantar“

“I never try this food chain but I believe it is better than chipotle and the portions are more since I eat like a truck driver this is great. I wish their beef is cook different like chipotle I believe they have a grill that they cook their beef. Overall good portion of food, the service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was on point.“

“Yellow Door in Providence offers a fantastic dining experience with a great atmosphere both inside and out on the back patio. The space feels vibrant and welcoming, perfect for a casual night out or a relaxed evening with friends. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the service was excellent from start to finish.

We stopped in for RI Food Fights 'Taco Mania!' and had the Birria and Duck tacos, both were outstanding — full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The quality of the food really stands out. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality and overall experience make it well worth it.

A nice bonus: they offer $5 tacos on Tuesdays, which is a perfect excuse to go back.

Overall, Yellow Door is a standout for anyone looking for delicious tacos, great service, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere in Providence.“

“definitely the booze. Oh yeah and the 🌯’s are amazing too…“

“Pretty bomb tacos and you’re getting your moneys worth. The tacos are flavorful and beautifully stuffed with cilantro and onions. I've been here a couple times and each time I went the service is pretty slow so I would call ahead so you’re not waiting too long. The vibe is so cute though they have picnic tables outside and lights all around. Definitely give it a try and support a small business“

“Food is awesome and the staff is friendly and professional. Whether you have breakfast lunch or dinner it's all good!“

“The Colombian hot dog was delicious! Great serving size too. Will have again for sure.“

“It’s a good easy spot downtown for chipotle-style burritos.
I mean you literally like make it yourself so if you don’t like it, that’s on you lol.
It’s located in the Arcade building (a cute old mall) so there is minimal parking etc
Only open at lunch time so they are closed by 4pm“

“The tacos here are incredible!!!! They have the right amount of toppings and are fairly priced too. I have come here twice within the last few months and if I lived closer I’d be coming a lot more frequently.“

“The Birria tacos are amazing along with their entire menu! I highly recommend giving them a try if you have not been.“

“Muy buena comida y muy buen servicio 🤗👌“

“they serve great food for a great price, and the guys are very friendly.“

“Sitio muy familia me la paso bien“

“Seriously one of the best things I've eaten in a long long time! Anything with their Birria is amazing. Everything is so flavorful and juicy and delicious. I can't wait to try more of their menu, this will definitely be my new go-to spot ❤️“
