Customer Reviews
i have been coming here for years. lucia, the owner, 10/10. always the best when i see her. must come for drinks on fed hill. we all love her so much. come on tuesdays. its taco tuesday ! $1 a taco. $5 beer. i come every tuesday. worth every penny.
Locals all seem to love the vibe and atmosphere here. They have Karaoke and when the drinks get going, people get to singing their heart out. Food is great, albeit not quite authentic mexican, it's more of a cross of mexican dishes with a touch of carribean spices/flavors. Keeping that in mind, the tacos al pastor (although devoid of pineapples) were seriously tasty, the grilled fish (tilapia) was on point and reminded us of a prior experience at a beachside shack in DR. If you are in the downtown providence area, drop in, it's worth the trip!
Had 3 Jack & cokes and 3 tacos , didn’t know they were $15.00 apiece, didn’t say anything, paid my bill and left. Following day saw my credit card got charged again for a totally different amount, definitely not going back.
$10 for a side of rice and beans to go seemed awfully steep. But only when we got back home did we see it was a little scoop of each. What the heck? Cost nothing to make—why so stingy? (Also: didn’t taste great)
Waitress forgot what I ordered and asked a second time while walking away to the kitchen. Wrote nothing down on a pad. Forgot my girlfriend's drink completely and never checked back on the table. When time to pay, gave an attitude about splitting the bill by item for a party of 4. Said "when you want to split you start with that, who told you that you can do that?" The cost for both couples was more after she split it. Gave herself a 35% tip for the trouble of doing math a second time for an itemized list she couldn't even remember correctly. Then didn't communicate this so I ended up tipping twice by applying 20% to the overpriced receipt she gave me out of spite. Never going again. Worst service I've ever encountered. Sucks because the food and music is good.
