Yelp & Google Reviews - Restaurants, Shops & Local Businesses I recently met the owner of Casa Azul Taquería at an event hosted at the restaurant, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The food and service were both excellent, and I was especially impressed by the thoughtful vegan menu options. I've enjoyed both their vegan and non-vegan dishes, and everything has been delicious. As a fellow graduate of Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses, it was also great connecting with another local business owner who clearly cares deeply about quality and customer experience. I returned the next day to pick up dinner for our neighborhood vegan dinner night, and the experience was just as great. Highly recommended. read more

So much fun! I have been a few times and this time it was Cinco de Mayo for lunch. Decorations were festive and tacos were I ordered the 3 birria tacos which were amazing. My wife 3 crunchy carne Asada tacos. She actually ate her whole meal which is rare. read more

Stopped in for RI Food Fights Taco Mania! It's a small clean, cute place with bright colors and Mexican Music playing in the background. I placed my order to go, but there are a few tables for dine in, plus a table outside if that's your preference. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I had a couple hard shell Carnitas Tacos and one Birria Taco. They were all great! I'll have to stop back in sometime soon and give the the Mole Pablano Chicken Enchiladas a try. read more

Kind and welcoming staff with a relaxed atmosphere. The Birria Tacos are excellent and so rich with flavor!but I can't believe they sell such nasty nacho cheese and not authentic queso with some spice. They're really missing out that part and it would pair really well with everything on the menu! read more

Rating: 4.0 I've been meaning to try this place for a while. We decided to try it for lunch after working out at the gym. Looks like the place has relocated recently and its a-lot smaller. Place is small with only 3 seatings, you order at the front and they will bring the food out to you. Inside is well decorated and there is background music. We ordered tacos, birria ramen, burrito bowl, and agua fresca passion fruit and jamaica lemonade. We ordered few tacos with home made tortilla including carne asada, pollo tinga, al pastor, and chorizo. The tacos were pretty good overall especially the home made tortillas. Meats were mostly okay but chorizo stood out more than the others. I forgot to use their home made salsas so next time I need to use them for tacos because I think it would heighten the flavors. Birria ramen was decent. The soup had a pretty complex and deep flavor . Noodles were just instant noodles so nothing special. Burrito bowls were okay. It was pretty basic. Agua frescas were pretty good but was on the sweeter side. I personally liked the passion fruits one better. Service was relatively quick and good. Overall the place was pretty good. I was lucky that I was able to be seated but if I were to go back I would plan for take out. I would get homemade tortilla taco with chorizo again and maybe try their other options. Their Birria seemed to be pretty good but personally I'm not a huge fan of shredded meat. read more

Very sad and disappointed. Last time we went, the restaurant was bigger and maybe friendlier. This time, we walked in and there were maybe 3 tables. And it was incredible the girl behind the counter actually asked a disabled patron who was halfway through his meal to move, si we could sit, not cool at all, we ended up leaving, not sure we will be back read more

First time at their new spot which is about 300' away... Bright and lively space with larger kitchen (so larger menu) but much less seating (13). Many takeout orders. Service and food as usual great. Had their green chicken enchiladas dinner and tres amigos tacos (you can only chose one meat). Winners. Damages with tip and drinks (no alcohol license yet) was $55. Enjoy!! read more

After hearing so many good things about Casa Azul, I had to try it out for myself. Their location seats about ~10 people, and many people were getting takeout while we were there. We got the Barria tacos and a Barria chimichanga; service was quick, and the food was delicious! I would definitely go back for some tacos and a margarita once their new liquor license is available (currently renewing license since they moved locations). read more

Casa Azul used to be close to one of the places I worked, so I've been here many times. Moved to Boston but was in Providence recently, so decided to stop by. Overall, I really like Casa Azul, but their inconsistency kills me. I love a handmade soft corn tortilla. The first time I got tacos, the tortillas were perfect. The second time, way too thick. Third time, perfect again. And so on... I've had bowls and burritos where the meat was just room temp (which should really not be acceptable) or a little dry. But most times, it's hot and well-cooked. Flavors are great, prices reasonable, good drink options, staff is always very friendly. Not sure what the deal is with their inconsistency but I'd say it's 80% great, 20% just good. read more

The portions are small for what they charge. Everything about my meal was too salty. I only ate about half of it. Even the refried beans were salty. The birria nachos were good but tiny for $16. The drinks were decent. read more

This place is so cute! They have a Mexican feel with Frida decor and authentic menu! This is a new location but it a bit small with limited seating, but we had no problem since it was early lunch hours where we arrived. Definitely a take out location. My Frida burrito bowl was simple, and delicious. They accommodate with my request of no crème, and crème on the side of the tacos. The tacos we ordered were specifically with hand made tortillas which was the best decision. The tacos were soft and fresh tasting. As a Mexican I always opt for fresh tortillas. Carne asada and alpastor were ok. My favorite were the chicken tinga and the chorizo. I also tried the birria ramen. Honestly, the flavor was great! The soup base was so savory and true to the birria flavor. One spoonful felt very home-y and cozy this cold morning. The ramen noodles were ok, but the highlight was the meat and soup. Hibiscus lemonade was on the sweet side. Passion fruit was perfect. It was a solid Mexican place, with simple, not too greasy, and clean feeling food. They do have great savory flavors with an authentic taste. I approve as a Mexican myself. The staff were kind and bring everything to your table after you order at the counter. read more

I remember coming here a while ago and having high expectations this time, but I was not impressed. I ordered the carnitas red chilaquiles from the spring specials menu. The nachos were a bit cold, the meat was in chunks rather than shredded and seemed like it was just boiled rather than slow cooked to get a pull apart texture. My friend ordered the chicken tacos and they also looked like they were sloppily put together. There might be some items on the menu that are delicious but these in particular I would not try again. I did enjoy how the inside is decorated and although it's small on the inside, the positioning of the tables is well thought out. read more

I visited for the Taco Mania Fest and tried the carnitas and chicken tinga tacos, along with two handmade tacos filled with steak and al pastor. The chicken and al pastor tacos were particularly good. I enjoyed the handmade tacos, though they were a bit pricey. Overall, it was a good experience, and there's a small dining area inside. read more

This place checks all the boxes. 1) excellent margarita 2) great menu 3) cute interior with a homey feel 4) efficient service 5) delicious food I had one of the special margaritas that came with a shot of mezcal. So delicious. For my meal, I had the mole enchiladas. I could have eaten two more plates of it. Plan to be creative for parking, there are only two spots in the small lot next to the building and street parking. read more

I've visited several times and never ever been disappointed. The birria ramen was out of this world, but birria tacos are also amazing. I had some good ole carnitas tacos as well. The meat was juicy and flavorful without being super fatty. That's the key. Some places put all fat in your taco. The new location is smaller and geared more towards takeout, but there are still some tables and they don't discourage eating in. Service is always friendly and helpful. It's one of my top places in Providence for sure! read more

Ambiance is top. I think they moved into a smaller space from what we remember, but still cozy nonetheless. It gets a little warm in the warmer months, but nothing unbearable. The art is amazing, and despite the inspiration by Kahlo's eponymous home, the interesting and loud art on the wall is by Taryn Nunez. Clean tables and chairs, and a small outdoor seating area. Food's good, had a flavorful chimichanga, nachos are presented beautifully and taste great, and the carne asada tacos are always a blast. Service with a smile, quick delivery of fresh food. Go here. read more

Fish tacos were absolutely delightful. Nice crispy fresh fish with fresh toppings. Delicious corn with crema as a side. I'll be back!

I think their birria tacos are great but the rest of their tacos kind of fell flat for me? I had the carnitas, potato & chorizo, and the chicken tinga. The potato and chorizo could have used more chorizo but the potato was soft and flavorful. The chicken tinga was hot but lacked flavor. The carnitas tacos were a bit dry. Definitely enjoyed the avocado crema that was on top of them. I think this place is good just a bit inconsistent. read more

We were introduced to Casa Azul Taquería through RI Food Fights #TacoMania several years ago & it is always a fabulous experience! Just rated 94th of the best taco restaurants in the United States on Yelp. It is located on a weird strip of Allens Avenue but don't let that keep you away - the restaurant is adorable. Depending on the time you go, parking can be a little difficult but you can park on most of the streets surrounding the restaurant. I love everything about Casa Azul Taquería! Food is just so good, staff is friendly & the decor is cute. Lots of takeout happening because the restaurant seats only approximately 20 people inside with some patio seating out front. A nice selection of Mexican beers & a bunch of great margarita options. You can tell there is love in everything they do. The pork posole is to die for & while I'm not a vegan, it is great to see a menu dedicated to that option. Hubby wants to go back just for the birria ramen but I will fight him to get the birria nachos! Go for the tacos & stay for the great service, cute ambiance (hi Frida Kahlo!), outstanding margaritas & delicious Mexican cuisine! Highly recommend. read more

the taste of the food, the service, and the cute little shop are all 5/5! saw this spot listed on PVD restaurant weeks and decided to order takeout after a workout with my friend. we called directly to the restaurant, it was ready in 12min, and i paid in person. my friend got the green enchilada chicken dinner and i got the 3 birria tacos with consome. we swapped an enchilada for a taco with each other because girl dinner. i really appreciate mexican food made this way when im nostalgic for california. the birria is fantastic. i will say however the enchilada dinner could have been a little better. i felt like the chicken inside was tough to chew and it needed more wet sauce inside the enchiladas itself. i also would have liked to see more rice and beans portion wise on the side. i'll still come back tho. if they made birria enchildas, i would literally eat them for breakfast! read more

Quality got worse after their move. I got the Birria tacos and consome as I have in the past and it's not even half way full. They didn't put a top on (carry out) and it spilled all over and into the bag. Lemons were dry and useless. Salsas are tiny and not even full so stingy. Not worth nearly $17, I'll look for a new place now. read more

Dropped in by chance during lunchtime on a whim. It is small with incredibly cute decor. I ordered a burrito to go and it was very good! I loved the spicy salsa on the side and was left wanting to sample other things on their menu. I will be back! read more

Obsessed with the guacamole and birria tacos-that consommé, forget about it. Best owners-husband and wife team. Everything is fresh and authentic. Very small spot so not really a dine in place. Small lot or there is plenty of on street parking. read more

Such great vegan options. The vegan nachos were the best I've ever had!!! I love that they make their own veg chorizo in house and it's made with chickpeas rather than impossible meat or something like that. I love impossible but nice to see something new and creative!! The vegan horchata was also delicious and the full jalapeño peppers you can get as a side were so flavorful. Would absolutely come back. Service was great and they have a cute little dining area that is comfortable and cozy, lots of great decorations that make it feel special. read more

This is my go to for Birria tacos, and they never disappoint. My most recent visit was part of the RI Food Fights taco mania challenge and it was my first time at the new location. Be prepared to wait for a seat as it is very small, but the food is so good that it's worth it. Birria is tender and the consome is to die for. Friendly service and reasonable prices. Definitely try the horchata too - it's delicious! read more

We just drove there , it's Thursday, 9/5/2024 and the restaurant was not there, no sign. so it must be closed. They don't answer their phone either. We used google maps to go there. read more

We were very surprised, considering the great reviews (and a good experience with the food some time ago at the old location), that the food was not very good. We ordered the shrimp fajita burrito and the vegan chorizo burrito. Both were about 2/3 filled with white rice (which is way too much). The shrimp itself was okay, but the vegan chorizo had an unpleasant flavor. Also, each burrito came with only 2-3 chips in each bag. Why even bother? Either give chips or don't. read more

Tried this spot for the first time as take out. This cute little oasis is located just outside Providence with a view of the city at at would be great. Definitely have to come back after sunset to check THAT out. In the meantime enjoyed the indoor atmosphere and vibe. Very clean. The menu is broad but more surprising was the vegan options, I'm not vegan but have the choice is great. And it's not just a couple of items, they have a whole section designed with creative dishes and specials. Prices are great, $10 burrito and $14 for the special of the month- Shrimp Fajitas! We enjoyed our food down the road at India Point Park by the water across from a live country concert. LOL. read more

Came for the birria tacos, which did not disappoint -- incredibly flavorful and loved dipping them in the consome (which was definitely on the saltier side, but paired very well with the rice/beans I "borrowed" from other dishes"). Also ordered the chimichanga, quesadilla with al pastor, and a bowl, which were all good but had no wow factor that made them stand out. Casual interior and the noise level can get a bit high during dinner. They also have rotating monthly specials. Would probably only stop by again for their birria menu items, and stick further north for everything else. read more

We came here looking for some tacos We ordered some street tacos with homemade tortillas for an up charge Chips and salsa The chips and salsa was 4 bucks which was not worth it They were good but Most places just give you free chips and salsa The hand made tortillas were not good at all My son picked his up and took one bite and the whole thing just crumbled apart and was a mess The only reason mine didn't fall apart totally was because I basically had to 2 hand it to keep it together The flavors were mediocre at best I don't mind spending a few bucks to eat but I would expect a lot more quality wise for 42 dollars I don't like leaving bad reviews but there are so many more way better taco places within 10 minutes with better prices and way better depths of flavor I would take those hand made tortillas off the menu if that's how they are consistently I will say it is clean and the service was good read more

This updated review is long over due. I was out of commission for a bit and couldn't get to all the reviews piling up! But, this one is absolutely first. After my poor review, owner touched base with me promptly. Was very professional and apologetic. I was given a gift card and warmly invited back to dine. My partner and I found ourselves heading that way on Valentine's Day. We both worked all day and just wanted a little romance before the days end. Small, quaint establishment; which also closed an hour after we showed up. Was about to leave but, they insisted we stay, have a bite and enjoy our time together. We so did. The food was amazing. The server (I believe her name was Gabi) was attentive but, not overboard. (I love that) Even with them closing soon, we didn't feel rushed at all. The inside was so adorable. It made our exhausting day so much brighter. I ordered Chimi with tinga and a sprite. My partner ordered a chimi with Al pastor and a Modelo. Both delicious! We shared a chocolate raspberry cake for dessert. Even closing for the evening, they took the time to decorate the dessert plate. Big plus, the server offered to take some pictures. After dining there, it is quite obvious this establishment isn't for take-out, which is okay. It's more an experience. We absolutely will be back. Possibly to try out their prix fixe menu. Looked very good. read more

We came here to try the Birria Tacos + Consome reviewers were raving about. It was disappointing in that the meat and soup dip lacked seasoning and salt. The entire dish was pretty bland. The homemade horchata was okay. I've had way better. The vegan coconut rice pudding was also not very good; it was dry, bland, and the rice was hard--not the usual soft and creamy way pudding is supposed to be. So...why did I give it four stars? It's actually a cute casual place for dining in, which is unusual for a Mexican restaurant In northern Rhode Island. It's clean, colorful, and the artwork is creative! There's also a ton of street parking and the location isn't too crowded. They also have a few outdoor seating where we sat to stay clear of Covid. (My husband is due for a booster shot that isn't yet available. We're trying to avoid the highly transmissible Delta variant). I like that they offered complimentary chips with salsa verde and that the dishes were well presented. Though I don't like vegan food, I'm sure vegetarians and vegans would highly appreciate their vegan options. Will return to try other dishes. Hopefully, I'll find something to enjoy. read more

Verde burrito w/tofu was mostly white rice :( Flavors were fine, but it was lacking fillings other than rice. There was not a shred of vegan cheese to be found. I guess they forgot to add it. For $14 this burrito should have been a lot better. The green salsa that came with the burrito was delicious. Chips and guacamole were also fresh and tasty. I will try this place again some day, but I'm not in any hurry. read more
