Where to go to eat chips and salsa and drink margaritas??

Submitted by Common_Sir7138 t3_11zw87i in RhodeIsland

Hello! We’ve yet to find a favorite Mexican restaurant in the state but are really wanting to go sit somewhere and eat chips/salsa/guacamole and drink some dranks. Hence the title as I know the answer to this may not be the same as the answer to where to go to get the best Mexican food…

Our 6-month baby brains thank you in advance!

I haven't been to the East Providence location yet, but El Mariachi is my go-to for Mexican. They have excellent cucumber margaritas and table-side fresh guacamole.

Chilangos, or El Mariachi. Diego’s is nice too

This is truly the only thing they're good at, in my opinion.

I always enjoyed sharing a pitcher of the "top shelf" margaritas and some nachos, but every time I ordered an actual meal it was a disappointment.

Get those salty chips and dranks now, 6 month parents! They get older and start eating all the chips and demanding “pretty juicy drinks!”

I would personally recommend Xaco taco in downtown Providence. They have a wide variety of very delicious Mexican food and drink options.

If you’re doing chips and margaritas… definitely Tortilla flats on the east side. Great chips… even greater margs with good variety, chill atmosphere and good service. El Mariachi in EP is fun too. But I’d give tortilla slight edge on the vibe.

Top Shelf, extra splash of OJ and chips and mixed salsa!

Hear me out on this…the Flats baked wings are actually really, really good. I know it seems weird to order wings at a ‘texmex’ place but they’re delicious. Get the buffalo!

Cantina del Rio in Warwick has great salsa and chips and giant margaritas. Foods decent too but the margaritas are the highlight. Lots of options, good service, not too expensive. Gets VERY busy sometimes

So here's the thing, since there's inflation and all. If you don't care about the chips being thick and ok with those thin ones. Go to Chili, download their app and become a member and get free chips and Salsa, they always have some kind of monthly $5 margarita special.

If you care about the chips, I personally like the thicker tortilla chips from Don Jose Tequila but their drinks have gone way down hill the last time I went. So my next stop would be California Tacos, but they don't have any liquor so just pick something up at the liquor store lol.

Chilangos, hands down. Dolores, if you got the $ is insane. Really miss El Rancho Grande (RIP).

Bandido's in Attleboro MA, like 15 min from Providence is the best I've had in the area

Don Jose Tequilas on the hill is my family's long time favorite spot. Give it a try! And make sure to try their molé sauce.

I’ve always heard los Andes is really good but never been. I have been to cantina del rio many times and they have huge margaritas and complimentary chips and salsa that are really good. They also have a guac bar!

Cantina Del Rio is great. The Guac is made fresh when you order. They have a huge variety of Margaritas, and sizes. Also some creative specialty drinks.

They have a lot of options for meals, but their fajitas never miss.

Their deserts are also worth going for.

Personally a huge fan of the pastor tacos and the chili verde dinner but my family all love the fajitas there too. My old favorite Mexican place was agaves on rt2 in Warwick by Lowe’s (rip) and it’s definitely a step below that but still an absolute favorite when I’m in town visiting family and friends.

Don Jose Tequilas on Fed Hill. Great table side guacamole, and my favorite margarita is their passion fruit with a sugar rim. Tacos are trash imo.

Cantina del Rio in SK. All the food I’ve tried hasn’t been great but excellent chips and salsa (unlimited and free). The margs are huge, tasty, and get you drunk. Plus it’s on the bike path so you can have lunch then walk it off
