    Solid Mexican foods. Taco, burrito, bowl. Not trying to 'fancy' it up. The menu is on boards above the prep area. Place your order on the left by stating your intention (tacos? burrito? etc.). In a fashion similar to another burrito locations, a staff member will 'build' you order from the items available in metal containers over warming or cooling trays. Think 'subway' style if you will. We grabbed an order to-go, but there are plenty of booth seats available inside, and a couple small bistro style seats out front. They play Mexican style music inside. Very festive. No table service. Bus your table when done. Prices are good. My burrito was stuffed and I enjoyed it's simplicity. Make it as basic or complex as you like. They have lots of choices.

    Wet Burrito with red sauce
    Arthur S.

    Holy goodness! Wet Burrito with steak, rice, pickled onion, jalapeños, olives, black beans, mild salsa, hot sauce. On top the red sauce and shredded cheese! Buckle up, spicy to perfection! The chips were a perfect match and so was the jarritos natural sugar cane Mexican soda. Very clean, staff are awesome, definitely will be back for more!

    Birria Tacos. Slaps
    Eric M.

    Solidly delicious. Looking for Birria tacos in RI? If you're not you should be. Came for those and now I'm into more items on the menu. Will be back...

    Never in a million years would I think that I'd be rating a corporate chain 5 stars ... however, as…read morea frequent visitor to Rhode Island, I have not found many sub shops of note. I needed a quick sandwich when I found myself in East Greenwich, RI visiting a friend and he recommended this place. "Are you sure there isn't somewhere more ... local?", I asked. "Trust me. You'll like it.", he said. The subs here aren't cheap. $10 - $12 for a 'regular sized' sub ... and $18 - $20 for a 'huge' sub. The regular sized sub is smaller than most local sub shops by about 1/4. I was a little disappointed when I saw the size vs. the price. After finishing it, honestly, I think I could have eaten 1/4 more and been full vs. feeling like I needed a little something else after finishing the 'regular'. It's hard to describe the size here ... I'd say it's in between a small and regular-size anywhere else. The actual sub was fantastic. I did the Mike's Way Italian Sub, minus onions, add pickles. They slice the cold cuts by hand for each sub ... which means they are not dry ... but, keep in mind that, unlike Subway, where subs are made quick but the ingredients have been sitting out all day ... these taste like the ones in NJ where it is unheard of not to slice the meat fresh. It does take some extra time ... so be prepared to wait if there is a line. I went into the store and there were 2 people ahead of me. I was in and out in 15 minutes ... kind of a long time for 2 subs, but the quality was indicative of the care in preparation. The cold cuts here were flavorful and the lettuce was crisp and fresh. The bread was good ... not overwhelming from a taste perspective and allowed the cold cuts to be the star of the show. The veggies tasted fresh and aside from being a little too wet with oil and vinegar for my liking, it was one of the better Italian subs that I've had. Their rewards program is complete trash! It is impossible to figure out ... you have all kinds of sign-in issues ... and the first time discount coupon of 10% off didn't work. Eventually, after waiting for 20 minutes to order and have my subs made, I told them to forget about it and ate the 10%. Two subs came to over $20 ... and drinks were almost $4 each ... so Two subs and two sodas was around $32 with tip/tax. For this reason, I probably wouldn't return here too often. If you are looking for a fresh tasting sub with better than normal ingredients, this is your spot! Danny DeVito must be laughing all the way to the bank because I see these shops everywhere lately! They are trying to be the In N Out burger of the sandwich world ... and succeeding a little bit. The staff was competent but not at all what I'd call friendly or cheerful. I guess that's maybe a true NJ vibe?

    This location is great. Their sandwiches are consistently good, they always get my customized…read moreorders correct from the app, and they're quick. In store pickup is easy because the bags are right next to the register, or you could do curbside pickup right in front of the store - they're friendly with that too. Inside is clean and usually not too busy either. This is my go to location for Jersey Mikes.

I was…read morein the marching band, if that explains anything But with the Pats first playoff win, Cowesett Pizza was offering a special through today - one topping bar pie for $12. They also had a deal on a regular one topping for $10 but I made the trek from the office in Milford MA all the way to West Warwick instead of home today. I was a woman on a mission. I came in and took a seat at the bar. I had been here once before so I knew that the place was small but clean and bright inside. I ordered a beer and my pizza, then sat back and waited. The staff worked like a well oiled machine pumping out food and taking care of every customer with ease After a while, my beautiful baby landed right in front of me. I chose cherry peppers as my one topping, wanting the heat and vinegar taste. I was hungry so I immediately dug in. The crust was crispy but gave way when I bit into it. The sauce and cheese together were salty, savory and sharp. The beer was a good choice to have with this pizza for sure. The lacy crunchy edges were fantastic, the cooked down cheese having a taste I can only describe as similar to extra crispy bacon. Awesome. Before I left I snagged a slice of the Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake by The Side Slice who sells incredible cheesecakes thru preorder on his page or you can find a rotation of slices in the Cowesett cooler. I waited until I got home to enjoy this wonderful dessert: chocolate cake base, filled with pistachio cheesecake, topped with a thick layer of pistachio kaitafi, covered in chocolate fudge frosting, pistachio whipped cream, and chopped pistachios. The bite was divine. I cut off another bite and ate each layer individually, such different but wonderful textures and flavors. I managed to stop halfway through the slice to save the rest for tomorrow but I will be thinking about that cheesecake as much as I'll be thinking about that bar pie. So if you haven't made the detour off Route 2 to have some pizza and cheesecake, you need to fix that asap. And sorry to all those who missed out on this deal, because I had a three course meal for $27 with leftovers for at least two more meals. Thanks so much!

Next time I'll ask for a side of marinara to dip in. I do love a red sauce but with this thin a crust I get the need for very minimal sauce.

The Greek dressing was fantastic. $10.99 (Would be even better if you can add chicken to it - I'm sure they would be if you asked). Chicken Shawarma was a special for $9.99 made with fresh veggies. The chicken was a little dry, but still very good. The veggies did a good job of blending it all together.
