Cielito Mexican Kitchen Mexican • $$
186 Union Street, Providence

“Sat at the bar and really enjoyed this place. Great ambiance and top-notch service. Tried the al pastor, asada, and carnitas tacos. All were tasty and well seasoned, with the al pastor probably being my favorite. The Mexican rice and black beans were honestly just as good as the tacos.

Recently moved from Southern California to New England, so I’ve been looking for Mexican spots that hit the mark. Cielito didn’t disappoint.

Also, don’t skip dessert. They have some creative options, and the corn cheesecake was amazing.“

“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!“
