    A friend and I hit this little gem this morning. Upon stepping in, right off the queer o meter is a solid 10. Nice! The staff was smiling, warm and friendly. The layout is small, about 8 booths maybe?! And 4 or 5 tables. I'm sure there's a line waiting out the door on nice days. Fortunately it was a dreary cold day and we sat right away. They came by to top off coffee throughout our brunch - which is great and the coffee was good! Much better than I expect from most places. I got the steak fajita - the steak was thin slices seared perfectly with nice seasoning laying atop a nice mound of peppers and onions. The side plate of refried beans, rice and lettuce/salsa was fresh and tasty too. I prefer black beans but the refried weren't too heavy and nicely seasoned as well. I'm not sure what my friend got but it was eggs over house made tortilla chips with a green salsa (that's what it looked like to me at least) and he said it was delicious. I was too busy with mine to try it. Even though the place is small and there were some people starting to accumulate at the door waiting, we never felt rushed by staff. Which I appreciate and don't take advantage of, because well it's not how I roll. I also loved the entire menu was available at breakfast time. The prices aren't cheap average meal with a non booze beverage I'd say is about $15-20. I don't mind spending my money on good food, good service and a nicely run local establishment. This was all that and I thank you Francesca's! CHEERS!!

    Food: I've been here a good amount of times. But this time I ordered the motuleno. It was yummy and I love how the tostadas added texture to the dish with the sunny side up eggs on top. The plantains were cooked perfectly and the home fries were soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. My friend ordered the loaded chicken burrito and she said it was good. The portions are pretty big and We both ate everything haha. Service: Our waitress was super attentive and nice. She checked in on us often and made sure we were really hydrated. Ambiance: I love that they added booths. It really brings a nice and cozy feel to the restaurant. It's not a large location but there are a good amount of tables to eat at.

    Chicken Quesdilla Lunch
    Katie L.

    This is a small but cozy space with a few booths and some tables. The waitresses that were working the day we went for lunch were very friendly and attentive. We ordered the chicken quesadilla lunch and the steak fajitas lunch with flour tortillas. Loved that the chicken in the quesadilla was pulled / shredded making it easier to eat. The steak was perfectly seasoned and the platter came to the table sizzling! Everything tasted great and the servings sizes were very generous. They had a full cocktail menu as well as coffee, fresh juices, soda, bottled or tap water. Would definitely come here again and try more delicious menu items! Unisex bathroom was clean and well stocked.

    Group Order of breakfast burritos
    Steavi S.

    Randomly found this place to do an office lunch, and it was great! We got breakfast burritos for 20 people and they were able to have it ready on time, first thing in the morning. The homefries were amazingly seasoned and everyone enjoyed the burritos. Would definitely come back!

    We were enjoying a lazy Sunday around the house and decided to grab a late breakfast at Francesca's. It was our first time here, but after viewing their menu online, we were eager to check them out. They serve breakfast and lunch all day and incorporate both traditional American and Mexican offerings so there's something for everyone. The inside is small space with booths and tables and they even had a few 2 person tables outside. There were a few open tables when we arrived, but they turned over quickly so there was a steady stream of people coming and going throughout our time there. They were out of the quesa-birria tacos, which was the one thing that I wanted to order, so I asked our waitress for a recommendation and went with that instead. The food was tasty and the portions were generous, we will be back for more. They don't take Apple Pay and if you use a credit card there's a 3% surcharge added to your bill so bring cash if these things make a difference to you

    Chilaquiles verde
    Lauren E.

    Cute place. Chilaquiles verde and huevos rancheros were amazing. Get the homemade tortillas. Service was great too.

    Potato skillet special
    Mike P.

    What a hidden gem. Very comfortable and cozy. I had the potato skillet which was a weekly special. The flavor was bursting in my mouth. Every bite was perfectly seasoned. The service was fantastic too. Looking forward to coming back with friends.

    Motulena

    This restaurant is one of my favorites on the East Side of Providence. It's a relatively small restaurant and can fill up really quickly, but that never deters the staff from being quick and responsive to your orders. I've ordered various breakfast dishes and they're always good! I ordered the Lisboa Omlette yesterday, and it came with home fries, I chose Rye toast on the side. The omlette has chourico (Portuguese Sausage), onions, broccoli, and swiss cheese. This omlette reminded me of one that my mother used to make for me as a child, dellllllish! The prices are reasonable, staff are pleasant and they're overall a measure of consistency which is so much appreciate from their customers. I have to confess that I've only had their breakfast, so I plan on coming here soon for some of their amazing sounding lunch choices! -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

    Huevos Rancheros with steak soooo delicious
    Nene C.

    As soon as you walk in you're welcome with friendly smile. The staff was attentive and kind. The food was made fresh to order and you could tell. This wasn't my first time here and I must say they're consistent with their staff and the food they serve. Love this place.

    The old fireplace is gone and the space is much brighter painted creamy white!

This place is small and does fill up but seems like most do take out. Parking is a bit tight and limited to street parking, but on a rainy day, there was plenty available.

Central fall caters to a mostly Hispanic population, so it's very welcoming. My partner speaks english, and with his limited Spanish, he ordered with no issue and the staff understood him well. My burrito was customized to my preference which had the cheese, rice, avocado, and no crema. Sounds very restrictive if that's just how my diet is, and I'm so glad they complied and gave me a delicious burrito! The meat was savory and tasty and the table had a container with three different sauces. The hottest was the dark red, and it was super good! I actually finished the whole meal and didn't feel too heavy. It was satisfying. The tacos were tasty, messy, but good. My partner ordered two more and he was too focused on his food to take a picture. For drinks, I got a seasonal drink called Atole Chanpurrado, which is made from corn flour, corn starch, and milk along with cinnamon. There are many versions, but this restaurant had the traditional one. It was super tasty and warm, very enjoyable on a cold rainy day. It was very homey!

It was a Saturday evening and when we arrived, it was pretty empty, but after 30 minutes, all the tables outside were filled. They have done a good job of decorating their outdoor space since the last time I was there and it also appears they've expanded their parking lot by a couple spaces which was very helpful on days like this (but street parking is also available). We ordered two birria tacos, one tripe taco, one chicken taco, and a chicken burrito. It did take a while for the food to come out, but the flavors made us forget about the painful wait. My least favorite was the birria tacos. They were different from other birria tacos I've had in that the meat had a red seasoning instead of being brown. It was oily, so nothing out of the ordinary in that regard. But it wasn't grilled flat which was a little bit of a bummer since it meant the cheese wasn't grilled to a crisp on the edges. The tripe taco was unique in that the tripe was baked or fried; crispy and light. The filling in the chicken burrito - rice, beans, chicken - were lighter in color than what I was expecting, but that did not take away from how good it was, albeit a tad salty. The beans were refried rather than whole which I personally liked since it had it easier to chew. Besides the long wait, we enjoyed all the food and the chill ambiance.

It has become my favorite menu; it is unique from quesadillas at almost any place since they stuff a big handmade corn tortilla (instead of flour) with cheese and well-seasoned meat. The tortilla is soft, warm, and crispy, and the cheese is well melted. The only thing I wish it did have were some toppings on the side like sour cream, lettuce, pico, etc. since it is very plain. They usually ask if you'd like sauce on the side; I ask for both the red (smokey chipotle flavor) and green (fresh but spicy). I believe it's about $10 which is fair for the size and quality. I called to place my order and they told me it would be about a 25 minute wait. I've tired other items and it's always been good. For example, tacos are very affordable, tasty, and bring a good amount of meat. They do offer dine in with their dining area having about 6-8 big booths.
