    carne asada tacos
    Rebecca B.

    I visited El Paso recently and was pleasantly surprised with my meal! I ordered the Ranchera Asada, which came with a taquito, house salad, and two sides. I chose pasta salad and Mexican rice for my sides. Wowww. It was a large portion - good to share or portion for two meals. I also tried their tacos (carne asada, chorizo, and al pastor) and they were also delicious. They also have handmade tortillas as well. The menu has a lot of options - entree and drink wise. If I lived closer, I would definitely try take out here as well. Definitely would return to try their drinks and/or a Taco Tuesday!

    If some reason you end up in Central Falls, you have to make your way here, especially on Sunday for a brunch. What would cost you $$$$ at other spots, the food is affordable, DELICIOUS and the portions are MASSIVE! The only reason why I cleared my two, yes two plates was that I ran 10 miles before this and I'd do it again! The highlights were definitely the massive chicarons and those drinks! Freshly made juice makes the difference. The staff is super friendly and kind, feels like family. It's a cute a little spot! Clean, and had the TVs going for the soccer game today PSG vs Miami for the Club World Cup. Would highly recommend anyone to make the trek out to Central Falls, I know not the most popular spot in RI but well worth it. Trust me on this!

    Birria Taco Combo

    This was my first time coming here. One of my good friends said they have the best birria tacos. The inside is very nice and it's clean. Took a little bit for the waitress to come and take our drink order even though there was no one there but another couple. They give you chips with salsa, complementary. The salsa was very good. My friend ordered nachos with ground beef. I did not try it, but she said it was really good and as you can see by the photo, they give you a lot. I got the Birria taco combo. Which is also a very good portion size. All the food was delicious. We did not get any alcoholic drinks, but I do wanna go back and get their margarita flight. The menu doesn't show the prices for the drinks which is a little odd to me.

    Great place couldn't believe it is so close to my house. The place was very clean with all the Mexican accents making it very authentic. We were greeted with a great hostess and water was supplied right away. Food was very authentic and delicious. The margaritas are delicious and perfect I will be returning.

    Chimichanga
    Karla M.

    I have truly started to believe that this could be the best Mexican restaurant in RI (excluding Southern RI since I haven't ventured out that far), but it really does excel in delivering good food, even for breakfast. I came here on a weekend around dinner time and it was a bit busy. However, I was still able to find parking in the lot despite it being a bit small and they do have street parking in the event the lot is not enough. They do have outdoor seating but we decided to sit inside to feel refreshed. I remember coming here when they first opened around 2018 so it's been incredible to see how far they've come in improving the inside of their restaurant. I had their chimichanga with a mix of carnitas and steak. I also tried their melted cheese and protein tacos, one with steak, and the other with carnitas. The chimichanga was MASSIVE, stuffed with rice, meat, beans, and cheese and topped with lettuce and tomato with sour cream. I did ask for some sour cream on the side to give it an even more creamier taste in each bite. The tacos were also very delicious. The cheese was perfectly melted and even crispy on the edges, The tortillas were crunchy and there was a very generous amount of meat in them. I recently had their breakfast and that was also delicious. I believe I had the huevos a la Mexicana. Although the eggs were prepared with jalapeno, I did not think it was spicy. The mix ins in the eggs made them very tasty. The beans were smooth and the cheese was fresh. The plantain was ripe and perfectly fried. The plate also came with fresh homemade tortillas. The portion size is big so be prepared to be really full or take some food home. I will definitely be coming back to try other items.

    guac and chicharron

    Friendly service and the BEST birria in RI...they have awesome flavors with a crunch that other birrias around do not have. Definitely a must when you come here. Have 2-3 and you will leave stuffed. We also enjoyed some solid guac. We liked the chicharron once but didn't on a second visit. The parillada was well seasoned with nice char grilled taste. The aqua chiles was refreshing with some nice heat. My margarita was a fair $9.99 and don't miss out on the horchata, jamaica, tamarindo and other nice juices. Flan to go is always a must - it didn't last long once we got home, but yikes at 8.50 a slice. Someone send me a good recipe on how to make!

    I found my favorite taco spot in RI!!! It's been a long journey lol my absolute favorite food are tacos! This is a small and cute spot in the town Central Falls bordering Lincoln. There are a decent amount of seating as well. The staff was super nice and the food came out quick! Ordered: 1) guac and chips- they made one of the best guacamole! Flavors were all there and not super puréed. Got avocado chunks and great seasonings. 2) Al pastor taco- just wow...the meat was super tender and flavorful. The tortilla was hot and possibly made in house. It has a crunch and softness to it at the same time. Delish!!! 3) birrias taco combo- hefty!! It comes with 3 tacos, the consume, and rice and beans. I shared this and could only fit 1 taco. Everything about it was delish! I will be going over and over again. This spot is a hidden gem!

    Birria tacos
    Tommy B.

    Stopped in with another couple over the weekend. We started with a few apps, chips & guacamole, the taquitos and the esquites. We great things about the guacamole, but it tasted just like avocados.... no seasoning or anything special. The esquites, were ok, but seem to have way too much mayo. The main dishes... I came for the Birria tacos. 2 of us ordered the birria tacos, and one person ordered the birria Quesadilla. All were fantastic! I ordered the tacos and I will say I was a but jealous of the Quesadilla! So good and cheesy. Love that this place is authentic Mexican food, and so close to our house. The server was sweet, but the service was a bit slow. I'll definitely be back for the birria!!!

    Recently, someone told me about this restaurant in Central Falls, so I decided to give it a try. I arrived around lunch time and they had both a breakfast/brunch menu and a regular menu. Since I am a big fan of nachos, I decided to get their Azteca Nachos with Carnitas. My choice was a good one...the plate was huge...the chips were thick and crispy, most likely homemade...the toppings were all fresh and the cheese was nicely oven melted in the middle of the dish...the carnitas on top of the dish were chunky and big..I was easily able to shred some of the bigger piece with my fork...Very nicely marinated... The star of the dish was the spicy red salsa (they also have green salsa which is less spicy)...when I added that to my nacho platter, it brightened up the dish by ten fold...it was such a nice kick to the dish !!!! Viviana was my server and she was very nice and friendly...she answered many of my questions about the menu. The private parking lot in front of the restaurant is not too big (maybe about 10 spaces) but there's street parking in front and nearby. Next time I have to try their tacos, they are supposed to have really good birria tacos.....Yum...........

    There is a small parking lot in the front but enough street parking. The waiter greeted us quick and took our order right away. She was friendly and helpful with their menu. They have bar stop full bar area and also dining room to sit in. There is its own separate take out area. The food was awesome. I ordered a light meal a sope mixed meat and it was delicious !

    Passion Fruit Mojito
    Santos P.

    Food, service and ambience was wonderful; enjoyed the food, you have to try FLAN and Passion Fruit Mojito. Definitely visiting this gem again.

    went to el paso for the second time today and it was amazing. our waitresses aileen,she was sweet and patient with us. Food might be a little pricier here but.,the portions are huge and the food is really tasty. I would suggest the birria tacos, al pastor and the carne asada tacos.

I've ate here 3 times and this is the day I chose to rate it . I had the lumber jack breakfast with pancakes . I'd say a 6.8/10 , nothing to brag about . I see all the hype behind the pancakes and let me tell you, it doesn't really live up to that hype . Would I recommend? 100 percent yes , prices are amazing and for what you pay , you get that type of meal . Service is great too, if you are ever in Cumberland give them a try.

When we asked about our order and questioning why there was a lady eating her meal despite arriving after us, the staff explained that she "only ordered eggs," seemingly justifying why someone who came in later was served first. After waiting with no real update, we decided to leave and paid $6.42 for a coffee and Coke. Ironically, just after paying, the cook told us our order was finally ready. My husband explained that it was too late, and when he pointed out that another customer who arrived after us had already been served, the cook -- despite there being three people cooking -- repeated that she "was just having eggs" after the cook had just stated, "We do the orders as they come in." If you're ordering anything beyond basic eggs, be prepared for a very long wait and a poor explanation for why others may be served ahead of you. The coffee and Coke were fine, but overpriced for what they were. Unfortunately, based on this experience, we would not recommend or return.

Although the parking lot was busy, there were still plenty of tables available inside. There is a larger dining area in the back, but we stayed in one of the booths in the area where you first walk in. It gives old school diner vibes with the red stools, yellow/tan booths, aluminum accents, and small tile floor. The menu is comprehensive as it offers breakfast and lunch, and both sweet and savory options. My friend and I both ordered the steak and eggs ($16.99 each) but I ordered my steak medium (anticipating for it to be cooked a little heavier than medium), with scrambled eggs and cheese on top, with a grilled English muffin. The food came out after about 10-15 minutes. They did have about 4 options of hot sauces we could choose from including Frank's, Tabasco, Cholula, and Sriracha - but the only right answer is Sriracha followed by Cholula. The steak was tasty and cooked exactly how I wanted it to, with a gentle sear. The home fries were delicious as they were soft, but also had bits of fried onions to enhance the flavor. The English muffin was golden, crispy, and slightly buttery. The eggs were very fluffy and the white cheese was completely melted into them which was great. The service was good, where we got everything in a timely manner, but we didn't feel rushed or overwhelmed with questions regarding our experience.
