The Box East Bay Reviews
Hands down the best taco I’ve ever had!!
This place is a little weird it says tacos but its made with dough also no ingredients on the pizza that taste anything like a taco! Overall it didnt taste bad but definitely not a taco. Maybe shouldnt be called a taco shop. 🤷🏻♀️
This is a hidden gem. Wood fired tacos to die for. I have never experienced anything like this. Bravo

The Box East Bay is a gourmet taco stand located in Warren, Rhode Island, founded by Matthew King, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America with 35 years of experience in the food service industry. The Box East Bay offers a unique twist on traditional street tacos, with handmade tortillas made from a mixture of wheat flour and corn, and a wood-fired oven that gives the tacos a crunchy, charred exterior and a soft, chewy interior. Customers appreciate the freshness of the ingredients and the variety of options, including the "Shrimp Taco" with wild-caught Gulf of Mexico shrimp, red onion, shredded cabbage, cilantro, and lime vinaigrette, and the "Street Corn Taco" with flame-roasted corn, black beans, charred sweet mild chilies, avocado, and lime garlic mayo. The restaurant also offers a "Cheese Quesadilla" and sides like "Chips & Pico with Guacamole." The Box East Bay is situated in a beautiful garden with picnic tables, making it a perfect spot for outdoor dining, especially for cyclists and families. Reviewers describe it as a "hidden gem" with "great food, great staff/ownership," and suggest adding corn to any dish for extra flavor. Visitors often enjoy the unique tortillas, which have a texture similar to a pita pocket but are different, and appreciate the freshness and flavors of all ingredients. The restaurant also offers Kristi's Kocktails, which are delicious, and nearby Dels lemonade on hot days. Some reviews mention trying other items like thin crust pizza, noting it’s crispy and fresh, and perfect for a quick lunch or supper. Overall, The Box East Bay is praised for its creativity, friendly service, and good value, making it a favorite for those seeking flavorful, freshly made tacos in a charming outdoor setting.
