Dying to try something new we went with Tijuana Burrito Grill. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is small, but typical for a burrito place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

In my humble but very true opinion, this is the most underrated place on Broadway. Tijuana is basically an authentic/better and reasonably priced chipotle. You can finish a burrito and not feel like you need to load up on tums after like you do post-chipotle burrito. This place is a gem and forever my favorite quick bite off Broadway! read more

Words cannot describe how much wonderful this place is! When I attended Salve, this was one of my friend group's favorite place to eat at. Since graduating and being back in Newport after a long 12 hour road trip... Tijuana was the only thing on my mind and I'm truly glad they are still around! It is a quaint and humble restaurant that has a menu on the wall and above the ordering station. Ordering is quite simple, there is a variety of "base" options you have available such as a burrito, burrito bowl, tacos, quesadilla, nachos, etc... Then, you go down the line for all the good toppings in a Chipotle-style manner. This time, I got the nachos and loaded them right up. The best part about this place is that they never skimp on the toppings. You get so much delicious food for about $11-13. My partner got a burrito nearly the size of his head! I could go on and on about this place some more, but when you find yourself in Newport... certainly give it a try! read more

Totally random and spontaneous visit. I pulled into a parking spot as soon as I saw the words, "tacos and burritos". But what I found was a super nice surprise... I just got back from Belize and I saw pupusa's on the menu. I ordered one chicken, one pork, one cheese. It comes with the side slaw in a separate baggie. I also had to try out their street corn in a cup. It did not disappoint! I'm already wanting to come back with my daughter. The service was friendly and I was greeted promptly to take my order. Nothing fancy, but absolutely delicious and that's what matters. read more

Tijuana makes some really good Mexican! The barbacoa burrito is massive in flavor and size. For about 10 bucks it's a good deal. The meat was tender and juicy. I added rice and beans as you can customize it as you want. The tortilla itself was so good. I think they make there. It's quick and easy Mexican food at a great price. read more

You're going because you wanted decent, inexpensive food in an expensive city. My wife and I loved the pupusas as well as the tacos. Service was excellent. I'm looking forward to going back.

I'm not sure if I just went on a bad day in the kitchen or what have you, but this is probably the worst bowl I've ever had. Very weird flavor. If you've ever had Mexican food you can tell this is nothing like it. I know I gotta give everything a second chance but I just don't really want to go back. Luckily I was haven't ate all day (it was 3pm) and I was super hungry so i was able to eat it all. But man that was not good. But maybe steak isn't they're strong suit. read more

We are here while visiting Newport and we would definitely come back here in a heartbeat during our next visit. My sister had the bowl and street corn in a cup. My mom and I got the taco salad. The taco tortilla bowl was fresh and crispy, but not greasy. The Spanish rice was phenomenal. The guacamole was also good. read more

Came in here Sunday afternoon, the place is small and was super hot inside which made it difficult to eat inside so I took it to go.. the birria tacos come with cheese..which is very strange coming from someone who grew up going to Mexico every week and living there for years this place is very disappointing.. the birria is not at all comparable to birria the way my Mexican family would make.. it lacks flavor and shouldn't come with cheese unless otherwise specified.. not to mention the beef is too lean and was almost not consumable with the amount of cartilage I had to remove.. the consommé was like water very much lacking everything... craving anything remotely Mexican look towards chipotle and save yourself some $$$ or find yourself someone who can cook authentic Mexican because this place is not it.. read more

For the low price of $8.28, I was able to finesse this heaping tray of nachos from Tijuana Burrito Grill on Broadway in Newport * Now listen, when most people think of Newport, RI they think of the beautiful sights, the historical mansions, and money lots of it * To find an affordable meal in this city as a college student it can be extremely challenging yet these Chicken Nachos smothered in Queso blanco, pico de gaillo, Tijuana's house hot sauce, fresh corn, and even more cheese just goes to show that there are some gems in Newport for cheap eats * I am a hot sauce freak as well so I had to douse this cheesy goodness with some Mexican heat from @heatonist and @echandochile * By and large some of the best Mexican food on Aquidneck Island be sure to stop in soon and help support local businesses ‼ read more

Great option for a quick bite in Newport. Its nestled between a bunch of shops and restaurants and located close to the intersection of Broadway and Spring. I tried a chicken bowl with black and pinto bean, cilantro, and corn. The chicken was nicely seasoned and had a nice grill flavor. The veggies were fresh. I topped the bowl with a nice serving of the housemade hot sauce which was super flavorful and had a nice touch of heat. Definitely check it out! read more

Stopped off here spur of the minute, was craving authentic Mexican. Despite being a local and driving past this place a thousand times, we had never considered eating here or known anyone that has. Let me tell you, while this place may not look like much, the food is fantastic! You can build your own tacos, burritos or bowls. The food all looked very fresh and is of course made to order. We got a carnitas bowl that included Spanish rice, guacamole, pico de gallo, lettuce, corn and a few limes. We also tried to chips and queso. I am not sure if the chips are house made but they were perfect and the queso had just the right amount of kick to it. The prices are super reasonable and the portions are very generous. The staff was super friendly and the place was clean. This may very well become our new favorite spot!! read more

Great local spot for grab and go mexican. They have probably 3-4 tables so seating is a bit limited. You can't go wrong with any of their flavors but the barbacoa is probably my personal favorite. The Spanish style rice and cilantro options add a nice touch. The guac is really good and the chips come crispy with the perfect amount of salt. The horchata is really good as well if they haven't run out of it! The staff has always been friendly to me and I can't say enough positive things about this place. It's a local staple so feel free to drop in if you're feeling extra hungry. If you order online through their website, it's very easy. If you're looking to grab and go, doing the payment online is easy and they have a spot for pick up orders. Just fyi, in the past, I've marked "cash" and paid at the register with my credit card. read more

I ordered again giving them the bennifit of the doubt because I work in the area and again there is meat in my salad.... Probably accidentally....

Leaving the parking lot here is only second to KFC/Domino's, in terms of stupidity. The positives here are no crunchy rice, I can get a horchata or tamarind drink, a large selection of Jarritos soda, and the chip bags are always stuffed completely full.

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.

Give this spot a try!

We lucked into a last-minute Saturday reservation for four in the upstairs deck room, and the atmosphere was moody, romantic, and perfect for a nice night out. The menu is à la carte, so you'll order your steak and sides separately. We shared the tomahawk steak with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and the mac & cheese, plus espresso martinis to start. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly, and the portion sizes were much larger than we expected--we definitely could have ordered less and still left completely satisfied. What really stood out, though, was the service. Everyone we interacted with was warm, authentic, and genuinely helpful, making the whole experience feel welcoming without being over-the-top. Between the incredible food, beautiful waterfront views, and fantastic service, this is a must-visit steakhouse in Newport. We'd happily come back the next time we're in town.

An elite spot in Newport, Rhode Island with fantastic vibes. The location and atmosphere are just exceptional. Five out of five, no question. Service: 2/5 Not what you'd expect at this price point. Drinks took a while, and we never got bread while other tables did. The waiter wasn't rude, but at a premium steakhouse, I expect premium service. Simple as that. Food: 3/5 My wife and I ordered the New York strip, two lobster tails, lobster bisque, and a side of asparagus. The lobster bisque was fantastic -- loaded with lobster, incredibly tasty. My wife called it a top five lobster bisque she's ever had. Only knock was it wasn't piping hot when it arrived. The lobster tails were the star of the show. Truly excellent -- warm lobster butter, cooked perfectly. But I'll be honest, you're in the lobster capital of the world. I expect that. Other restaurants in Newport probably deliver the same. The New York strip was disappointing. I ordered medium rare and it came out closer to medium well. For a $55 steak at a place known for their steaks, that is simply not acceptable. The cut itself wasn't impressive either. I've been to great steakhouses around the world and this does not belong in that conversation. Overall: 3/5 Come here for the vibes -- it's a genuinely great date night spot in one of the most beautiful settings in New England. The food is good but expensive, and the service needs work. What gets them through is their location and atmosphere, and they know tourists will come and pay the premium regardless. If you're expecting an elite steakhouse experience, look elsewhere. If you're expecting a beautiful night out in Newport, you'll leave happy.

Super fun and easy place and surprisingly good food for fast casual Mexican and Latin American . A lot of different options as well as space for vegetarian eaters. Food can be done almost any way you want, with an easy to order burrito/bowl line with very well done authentic ingredients. Place moved quick and the staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend if you're real hungry and want a lot of tasty, quality food fast. read more

Leaving the parking lot here is only second to KFC/Domino's, in terms of stupidity. The positives here are no crunchy rice, I can get a horchata or tamarind drink, a large selection of Jarritos soda, and the chip bags are always stuffed completely full. (I will have to say, though, I love the lime salt that Chipotle uses on their chips) I tend to order taco salads here, and the portion sizes are pretty darn good. I will, however, suggest getting either the green hot or medium hot sauce, mixed with the hot. The hot sauce has a decent amount of heat, but not much depth of flavor. All in all, this is a pretty solid fast food choice.

They were good with the portion sizes, not too stingy but also didn't pile things on. All the toppings were fresh. We ended up getting chips on the side. My friend and I were discussing how the flavor and texture of the chips have changed for the worst over time - they use to be lighter and crispier, with lime and salt. The bag does bring a good amount, enough for two people to share. The lemonade drinks in the dispensers are good, and I like that they let you pour it yourself because we tried different combinations. The staff was kind and efficient.

I ordered the birria tacos and the street corn in a cup while my bf and friends got the burritos. Portions were generous, but the ground beef was a little bit off and the salsa is milder than I am used too although there were only two heat options. It was also a little pricier than similar options (almost $50 for two people) The birria taco meat was so tender and delicious, but for me the street corn in a cup was decent, although I have certainly had better elsewhere. The restaurant is a bit small and looks like it primarily operates as a casual takeout establishment although they do have tables and barstools for sit in customers as well as tables and chairs outside. Overall, an okay place for Mexican cuisine in a pinch.

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.

There are one or two restaurants that are passable for the area and would probably be a solid 3-3.5 out of 5. This place is a 5 out of 5. This place could be a 6 out of 5 compared to my local restaurants. And believe me, I took nearly two years of Spanish in high school, so I know a thing or two about a thing or two. I ordered fish tacos and my wife ordered the enchiladas verde (green) as takeout. When I got to the restaurant, I was greeted by three (tres) lads whereby one of them promptly handed me my order. When I pulled the food out of the bag back at the hotel, I was greeted with an absolute masterpiece of culinary art, the fish tacos. The red cabbage slaw covering the tacos, mixed with the sauce was beautiful (bonita) and vibrant. The enchiladas verde looked just as good, but were less vibrant in presentation. It seemed like the chefs cared about the product they were serving to their customers. The rice that came with the enchiladas had a great consistency and not dry at all - I can't stand dry rice. My wife said the enchiladas themselves were flavorful and seasoned very well and not the "suburban white lady" kind of seasoning. However, she doesn't write the reviews - I do - so I will talk about the fish tacos. There were three of them and I got them made with the corn tortillas (tortillas). Any fish taco I have ever had has always been small nuggets of fish smattered through the taco. These bad boys were absolute units where the entire bottom of the taco was one large fried piece of haddock, covered in a somewhat tangy sauce, and topped with red cabbage. The sauce and red cabbage made for a bit of a messy meal, so be prepared to get your hands dirty if you order this. I would not recommend getting these (or the enchiladas) if you had to drive down US Route 1 at the apparent local speed limit of 75 miles per hour and expected to just chow on some tacos while doing so. By the way,, what's with that, RI drivers? It's not the Autobahn. I had a RideOn bus 5 ft from my bumper while doing 70 on there yesterday. Calm down (or should I say 'clam down', amirite?). Anyway, this food was very good and next time I am in town, I would like to go there and sit down to eat while trying to ignore the fact that half the people around me here sound like Peter Griffin.
