Probably the best Mexican food I've had in Providence. Everything was fresh and freshly made. They make their own tortillas and salsas. Wish their tortillas were bigger or that they doubled up tortillas for tacos, but that's my only feedback. This is a small joint hidden gem. Go check them out, you won't regret it.

I'm incredibly glad I gave this spot a chance. I've lived in the area for a while so I've seen a lot of turnover of businesses at this location, meaning I was a bit skeptical about trying it until I heard good things about it and these voices were right. Their parking lot was full when I arrived which to me was a good sign. It is small on the inside but luckily it was a nice day out and we were able to eat in their outdoor seating area. Their system is that you order the tacos at the counter, then seat yourself wherever and they bring the food out to you. We knew we wanted tacos but we were torn on which kind of protein we wanted. Ultimately, we tried a collection of them including al pastor, carne asada, lengua, carnitas, and tripa. The staff is very friendly, and were patient with us while we contemplated our options. I was surprised at how affordable the tacos are ($3) especially for how much protein is added. We maybe waited 15-20 minutes for the food to come out so it was being made with love. I was very impressed that the tortillas were actually handmade as a lot of places I've been going to claim to have handmade tortillas but you can tell are really cinco de mayo store bought ones. The tacos were so simple but packed with so much flavor. Surprisingly my favorite was al pastor, which I usually steer far away from cause I'm not a pineapple in my food sort of person. But the meat was really tender and it was sweet but also savory. The carne asada was well seasoned but didn't stand out as much. The carnitas was my second favorite as the meat was flavorful, tender, and tasty. The lengua was my least favorite but it was still good. The tripa was different from what I was expecting since it seemed more like fried chicharron bits but I was a fan. Their red and green sauces are tasty and add more flavor so I would recommend trying them. I didn't realize they offer birria tacos so next time, I will definitely gives those a shot.

So this is my second review here. I just had to add that the customer service is amazing here too Due to a miscommunication I only got 4 tacos instead of five when my food was brought out I asked the server and he went and grabbed the slip and only 4 were on it Without hesitation he went back in and got them to make me a 5th taco free of charge And I just gotta say it again these tacos are fire!!!!!!

This is the best place for tacos in the area, so glad that James Beard it put it on my radar! At $3 each, their tacos are very affordable given how generous their portion sizing is, and their burritos are quite hefty as well. My go-tos have been the carnitas and carne asada (steak), though all of their offerings have been quite tasty. There is limited seating inside with smaller tables (max 3 people). Would recommend take-out if coming with a larger group as the tables fill very quickly.

My first time having a torta and it was delicious! Loved all the flavors and the textures in the asada torta. Also got an Al pastor taco for 3$ which was a bit smaller than usual but quite good. Overall great experience. The seating inside and parking is somewhat limited.

Just stopped in here for dinner and absolutely loved the food! I am so glad I was finally able to try this place being a James Beard nominee--and boy do they deserve the nomination! I got the carne asada taco, the camaron taco, an horchata, and an al pastor huarache. Everything was so fresh and delicious--you can really tell they pay attention to their ingredients and let each flavor sing! The lady at the counter was very nice, and the interior is pretty cute. There is very little seating, however, so if you have a party larger than 4 people, you may have trouble finding a place to eat in. Many people seem to order takeout, so I might also recommend that (though you might miss out on the fresh and warm tortillas!) Will be back again and again--wow. What a stand out meal!

Quite the unassuming little mexican restaurant with minimal seating and location lends for one of the best culinary experiences. Stopped in this weekend for a quick bite and despite a fairly limited menu, the line was out the door. Per the recommendation of the cashier I tried the enchiladas and hibiscus tea, my wife the pambazo. The enchiladas were cooked in the most delicious salsa verde, I could have had that alone and been happy. My wifes sandwich was a unique culinary take of mexican cuisine on a portuguese roll, fun and delicious! Service was pleasant, prices fair, overall a great experience. Glad to see this small local business gaining some recognition by being nominated for the James Beard!

Holy cow. This place is no longer a hidden gem and for good reason! I demolished 3 tacos faster than I thought possible. Each were perfectly seasoned and had so much flavor. The salsa verde is not spicy at all but delicious. Everyone behind the counter was so friendly and looked like they were excited to be working. Parking and seating is limited but turnover is pretty quick. Will DEFINITELY be back

This place right here is the real deal! We are doing the Taco mania month from RI food fights and it was on the list. I never been here and oh man, I think I found my taco spot! It beats out all of the tacos I've ever eaten in RI. Actually all of the northeast! It's amazing! The staff was also super nice. The place was small but clean. I didn't expect much but it blew me away. I ordered the Al pastor taco which was amazing! So tender and flavorful. The chicken chipotle taco was also flavorful and delicious. And tortilla tasted homemade and sooooooo good! Probably the best tortilla texture I've ever eaten. And the birrias was just wow! Perfection! Oh and my fiancé orders a horchata drink (which I don't usually like) and even that was great! I will be going there pretty often from now on. Drooling as I type!
