About The Box East Bay

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.

The menu features a variety of taco 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. Customers can also enjoy a "Cheese Quesadilla" and other sides, such as "Chips & Pico with Guacamole."

The Box East Bay is surrounded by a beautiful garden and offers picnic tables for customers to enjoy their meals. It is located just off the East Bay Bike Path, making it a popular spot for cyclists and families. Reviewers have described the restaurant as a "hidden gem" with "great food, great staff/ownership," and have recommended adding corn to any dish.
