Enchiladas

Extremely disappointed, this costed my $16 plus tax. The chicken is over cooked, that sauce is okay not good. There's barely any substance in the enchilada lol it's all taco shell. The rice and beans taste slightly odd.

the famous Birria (SOFT tacos regular)

We love this place! Everyone I know that has had Tacontento, has never been disappointed by them! Its a local business in Pawtucket and the owner and staff are always super nice. We usually get an order of the Birria Tacos (they don't normally come with cheese which is the way i like mine, but you can ask for cheese to be added), a chorizo burrito, and some steak soft tacos! All of it is just so delicious! EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! We literally just had it last night and i'm already drooling just thinking about it!

They have a window full of healthy plants

This neighborhood spot is always busy because they serve up some delicious and authentic food. The menu is simple and the food is consistently good. We've tried a variety of the proteins inside their tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and tortas and have been happy with all of them. The food is flavorful but on the mild side, so if you're looking for a little bit of heat, ask for some hot sauce/salsa on the side. We typically order by phone for pick up but they also offer online ordering and delivery options too. They also have some seating inside and a really impressive assortment of plants inside along the windows. The birria tacos are my favorite and I will often order an extra side of consume and make some instant ramen and pour the consume over it, then dunk the tacos in that. (picture included)

These birria tacos are best and most authentic birria tacos I've had in a very long time. Consistently always is very delicious. Service is always excellent and fast. Love this place

Soooo I've been meaning to try this place . Got the 4 Birria tacos with cheese, which was phenomenal . Perfectly tender and flavorful meat, perfectly proportioned , great helping of onions and cilantro. consumé was extremely light, but flavorful. Also got a side of rice and refried beans.

Tacos!

Okay, if you love authentic "street" Mexican at a great price, this is your place. It reminds me of the best real taquerias in Los Angeles. Awesome.

10/10!!! By far the best & most authentic tacos I've had. We had one of each regular taco and Burria Tacos and they were wonderful. Jamaica (hibiscus tea) is also very refreshing. We can't wait to come back!

Corn or wheat tortillas?

I believe they have both. I got my tacos on corn, they were very tasty. Gluten Free.

Tuxpan Taqueria leans towards authentic rather than trendy. I can respect that…read more But the pricing feels out of proportion to what you actually get. The tacos and burritos are small, and while they're good, they're not at a level where the cost makes sense. At this price point, I expected either noticeably higher-end ingredients or something that really stands out beyond a solid taco/burrito. It ends up feeling like you're paying premium prices for a pretty standard portion and experience. Not bad food at all, just not a place I'd go to regularly given the value

Steely Dan playing as we walked in. Oh- you have my attention!…read more To be honest, Tuxpan has had my attention since they were nominated for a James Beard award and only like 7 minutes away from my house. This past Saturday- it was the day. First and foremost I grew up in Pawtucket and if memory serves me correctly this used to be a drive thru photo hut? Pawtucket tap water out of crate and barrel glasses. Lipstick on a pig! Thick chips (needs salt), super fresh guacamole. Win for the guac! 2 tacos. 1. Birria: it's a dirty taco. It's $3 and change for the consomme! (What?!) Lacked flavor. Needs a little something. I added lime and sour cream. 2. Asada: again, missing flavor. I did have 2 bites of their $18 cheese quesadilla (totally overpriced) I did like their cheese but it sat in a small puddle of liquid. Refried beans were very creamy but needed salt. I was left confused over the nomination...

This is hands down my favorite place to order Mexican food for take out . It's my comfort meal…read moreafter a crazy day at work when I'm too tired to cook . I order over the phone and my food is usually ready for pick up after fifteen minutes . The green salsa really ties everything together and I always ask for it . My go to order is a torta de carne asada but today I really wanted a burrito . So happy to be enjoying this with some Netflix . The burrito is big in size, hot, and full off flavor . This place never disappoints.

Wow!!!! Warm welcome into the restaurant and if you plan on dining there, just sit where you'd like…read moreto eat and they'll bring you the menus, we stood in line thinking we order then sit but the locals all knew. We wanted to try everything in the menu because we saw what people were eating and it all looked amazing! We ordered 3 tacos, chilaquiles, sopes and a Gordita. The tacos were all good but if I had to rank them I would say 1 al pastor but it has a slight kick to it, carnitas was a close second and then the carne asada. The chilaquiles were so good and my husband was happy and I was happy I didn't have to cook them lol. The sopes were good just bigger than what I'm used to so if you're use to smaller ones, don't order more than one because these are big! I ate the whole Gordita and almost forgot to breathe lol but I did order a side of refried beans and I added them to my Gordita and it was just all good!!! As a Mexican from LA, I've been searching for Mexican food all over Rhode Island and I definitely found a place worth driving over 30 minutes to. They take Apple Pay, major cards and cash. I love how friendly both ladies were and how patient they were with me and how slow I ordered all of my food.

One of my favorite places for a date or to bring friends! I feel like I'm always talking about how…read moremuch I love it here. The menu is small and yet there's always plenty of yummy things to try when I go, even as a picky eater. There are multiple vegetarian and even a vegan option or two. I always have to get the guac when I come here - it's the perfect amount of creaminess without too much onion. Their red salsa is a great slightly chunky - slightly juicy texture and has a bit of a kick. The vegan burrito bowl is my go-to as a vegetarian, and the street corn side as an app is elite! It is a little spicier these days since the recipe was updated from on the cob to off the cob (I much prefer off for ease of eating and sharing!) The Coconut Cartel margarita was creamy and smooth and went down *quick* haha. Others in my party loved the spicy Margarito, although they were out of the main spicy tequila but the servers offered substitute recommendations. I came with a very large work group today, and the servers were so patient and flexible when we asked for modifications from the menu. I even was able to order the queso dip with the chorizo on the side (yummy but very thick cheese dip!), and they were very attentive of my colleague's mushroom allergy and made sure she got dedicated dishes, even when we were all sharing apps. The churro donuts seem to have changed recipe and got mixed reviews - some thought they were dry, another says she Uber Eats just those regularly Sitting outside in the summer on the patio is nice. Tasty, interesting dishes with modern urban twists on Mexican recipes. Truly the only slight downside is that sometimes parking can be tricky in this area, but you can always find free street parking, it may just take you a little bit. Even the funky and creative decor is a selling feature for me. A must-try!

DELICIOUS! Their happy hour has changed a bit but they are still as good as ever- they even now let…read moreyou mix and match tacos for a platter- yay! Fantastic service and cool bar area- I always recommend this place to friends who are in the area! *Crispy fish tacos are still my favorite item on the menu. Carnitas tacos are my 2nd favorite but I need to try their Al Pastor next time! They also have really good chips and guacamole.

Wandered into this little place based on other Yelp reviews and a shared family interest in having…read moresome tacos before we completed an activity in a nearby area. Inside is small with only a few tables, and a counter front with a large menu displaying the food options in Spanish. They provided menus that had options in both English and Spanish (but it was obvious the restaurant catered more to a Spanish speaking audience). That being said, the staff was extremely friendly and had no problem communicating in English. Food selection included tacos, quesadillas, nachos, burritos, and other Mexican fare. Most everything had significant choices as to what protein type you might want on it. Foot quality was amazing. We had only a small variety of food choices in our party of 6, but everyone agreed their food was high quality and tasted great. Overall, if you want a no frills option for high quality Mexican food at a good price, I don't think you're going to find much better.

Came for a taco dinner for my uncle! They set aside a table for the large party, and played…read morebirthday music upon request for my uncle! 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. Staff was very friendly and attentive to getting us drinks, more tacos, and checking in on us~ my family speaks Spanish, and staff are fluent and native speakers of Spanish. 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!
