It's a small space that fills up fast, but the food is great and well priced. Excellent Mole sauce btw.
A note from the owner, who is from Puebla, Mexico: [We are] committed to offering traditional Mexican dishes at an affordable price using only the most authentic ingredients possible, often bringing in hard-to-find food products directly from Mexico. Special festive events spotlighting traditional arts and entertainment from Mexico are held throughout the year.
We have a small but well curated bar, we have a select choice of the most reputable, responsibly made Tequilas and Mezcales to complement our cuisine.

Peruvian and Bolivian Cuisine, this restaurant is nationally known for a reason... it was on the Phantom Gormet, has a trip advisor certificate of excellence and was featured on Yelps top 100 restaurants 3 years in a row. If you're in town for a short stay and can only choose one place to go, go here (p.s. don't tell my love Red Stripe I said that!)

The most amazing baked goods. You'll probably go here for breakfast if anything, but if you're in the mood for some olive bread I have literally never tasted anything so good. There is also a location on Hope Street if that is more convenient to your days adventures.

One of the oldest libraries in the country, the Athenaeum is legitimately awe-inspiring. There are a lot of things in providence that will take you back in time, but this is one of the best to me, even if you're not into books. :)

This only let me tag it as the zoo, but the zoo resides in the larger Roger Williams Park, which is also great for bike riding and picnicking, and has a botanical garden, duck paddle boat rentals, museum of natural history with a planetarium and tennis courts. I'm sure I'm leaving some stuff off, so go check out their website. Also, this is right by me so you can even walk over!

Drinks & Nightlife
Great craft cocktails and ambiance, small intimate location. They serve a small curated menu which is best for snacking in style, rather than a meal, but it's a great little menu, and they serve Walrus and Carpenter oysters, which are my fave (small, with a good sweet/briny balance for those that care).
