The Carnitas taco was delicious, but for $7.15, I can make several pounds of outstanding shredded pork butt. The Birria taco ($8.25) was less enjoyable, as the beef was dry and really could have used some consommé (which is usually served with Birria...but not here). Both tacos were a single corn tortilla, which quickly became too soggy to support the filling. Despite the small operation, which does a lot of takeout, counter service was fairly quick. The ambiance is perhaps best described as quaint food truck/street fare made with love...at fine dining prices.

The staff seemed to be very friendly and rang up some drinks to go along with the order that I had placed online. They have more than just burritos and bowls on the menu, but I had to try the bowl to compare. I got a chicken bowl with their hot sauce, which I think ended up on my wife's (who doesn't like any spice) order because she had to call the Newport fire department to put out the blaze. I found the bowl to be very good, with a chipotle flavor hidden in there somewhere. We did get chips and queso as well. The queso was good, but the chips seemed to be a bit stale. I would definitely go back and try something more unique the next time.

Now I'm getting charged for chips and salsa? WTF is that? I'm sorry, but I'm buying drinks and tequila--it's only going to make me thirstier! Furthermore, if you're going to put ceviche on the menu, chips should absolutely be included. That's how ceviche is traditionally eaten. But honestly, none of this was too surprising after I saw the manager roll out of bed in sweatpants to come down to the kitchen, as if she had been sleeping or was too busy in her office to be bothered. I've been coming here for over a decade, but after this experience, I won't be returning. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants around, and I'm happy to give them my business instead.

The service was exceptional, and the menu boasts an impressive array of authentic Mexican dishes, including mole and pumpkin sauces--definitely not Tex-Mex. This is a much-needed addition to the local dining scene, as Rhode Island is not renowned for its Mexican or Tex-Mex options. Currently, Pero Solado is one of the few decent spots on the island, with a few more in the Providence and Central Falls area. Note that they do not have a liquor license, so you can enjoy Mexican sodas instead. Our meal consisted of guacamole and chips, carne asada, three tacos, and a side of beans. Everything was delicious; the beans were clearly homemade, and the tortillas were made from corn. The pricing was generally good, although the guacamole and chips at $10 seemed a bit steep. I highly recommend giving them a try to support another vibrant spot on Broadway. I'm looking forward to trying their breakfast offerings soon.

First impressions is that they did a nice job at decorating this little spot, decor is great. Ordered a horchata, which you could tell was homemade and not from some pre-made mix, which of course made it taste that much more yummy. Main course I got was the chicken torta, which was flavorful and would be something I would order again:) Newport needs more Mexican food places that aren't the tired tex-mex style spots we have here.
