Reviews of Tallulah's Taqueria (Restaurant)

Dylan Polin

Visited this place on a whim and it encapsulates how great Rhode Island has been getting! Amazing service, great portions and the composition was perfect. Would def return any day!

Levi Haag

Such a great experience! Food was delicious and pretty quick. Portions were just right, vegan and vegetarian family members were happy, would absolutely go back again!

mike Candilore

Definitley some of the best food ive ever had in my life! Nachos are so good and the mexican shrimp cocktail is a must!!

Shante Powell

So good! Shrimp tacos are definitely worth driving for!

Luke B

Best carnitas I have had in a long time! Great tacos

Philip Skypeck

Best taco joint I know close to my work. I'd eat these tacos all day then wash it down with a PV Doughnut down the street. Seriously though, great food it will not disappoint you.

Rielly Botsch

Quality delicious food! The staff is super friendly and when the weather is nice they have great outdoor seating. My favorite thing is the super easy to use app that I can order on and pick up in store! (No waiting in line on taco Tuesday)

Mario Capolongo

This place looked pretty cool, and there were a lot of options on the menu, but all the meats I tried in different tacos were dry and not that flavorful...dry meat is the worst in my opinion. Maybe some of their other dishes are better?

Raizel Berman

Excellent burritos and tacos and you can order them with fish instead of meat.

Yvonne Hughes

The best authentic taqueria place you'll find this side of the border, period. I've had almost every option on the menu and theres no bad choices here. And if you're a fan of lengua, this is the place to get it done right.

Diana Pan

This brings back great San Diego memories for me. I fell in love with tacos in Cali when I was out there and have been searching for good tacos ever since. I ordered 5 different tacos - carnitas, al pastor, carne asada, lengua, and fried shrimp. When I had the lengua (beef tounge) and fried shrimp ones, I was gonna give this place 5 stars because it's SO GOOD. However, all the others were very mediocre and not the best. The meats were a bit dry and hard. My boyfriend had the burrito bowl with beef tounge which was really good in my opinion! I'm so glad he went with the beef tounge meat since the others were really not impressive at all! His bowl came with lots of rice, beans, and veggies. Very good spot for tacos! Price isn't the cheapest, but it's worth it.

Silas Robinson

Wow! What a spot! Off jump, I didn't know exactly what i wanted. The woman at the register was extremely helpful! I ended up ordering a burrito al pastor. It was incredible! Think Chipotle done better than Chipotle. Will definitely be back!

Bradly Widener

What a delicious burrito! Everything tastes very fresh and has loads of flavor. Our burritos were very salty, however, I’m assuming this was just a fluke. Also, I love that they carry yacht club soda. It is probably lovely to go and sit on their massive patio. Not much indoor seating.

Matthew Barker

Every single time I come here, I receive excellent food with a smile!! Marvelous

Melissa Morales

Always great no matter what I order. Tacos, agua fresca, bowls, always delicious.

Dennise Kowalczyk

Delicious food, a fine Rita, and friendly service. Small space that fills up quickly but patio area for the warmer weather will be perfect!

Nicholas Ferraro

my opinion is that this place has the best tacos in Rhode Island. been there 3 times in the last week and 7 times in the last two weeks. My wife says I'm a addicted but I'm just hungry....FOR TACOS!!!

Joe Capuano

Seriously the best Mexican in the city. Great for a full meal or even just a quick bite, Tallulah's is fantastic. Even better in the summer when you can sit outside.

Freddy B

Great food. Place is nice and clean

Ruben Munoz

Great food. Friendly staff

HumanTarget777

Super good tacos. A highlight of the RI floodlights.

Jacqui Nye

Nice outdoor seating. Portions are huge. I don't know how they handle the crowd in the Winter, as seating is limited.

Chris Walsh

Good Mexican food at a reasonable price

Lawrence Platt

Great eats. Reasonable prices.

Rob Canavan

We did a quick search online for tacos. This place came up amongst many other options. We read the reviews and realized quickly we needed to check this place out. As soon as we walked in the door we were warmly greeted to a nice clean Indoor "taco stand". (they have way more than tacos) The person behind the counter was extremely friendly, helpful and led us on our Mexican Journey. We each got three different tacos, fresh salsa, chips, guacamole and local soda. The prices were perfect considering the quality and quantity. We grabbed seats in their outdoor seating area. And within a few minutes the friendly staff brought our plate out. I was expecting tacos to be wrapped up and throw in the bag, yet I was extremely excited to see their presentation. The tacos look like a work of art on the plate. Each Taco had a unique taste and was topped with amazingly fresh cilantro. From the first bite to the last bite we enjoyed every morsel of Mexican goodness that was on our plate. We will be back for sure to check out every other item on their menu. It is worth the drive from Fall River!

Jesse Carr

Very good mexican spot.

Kevin Nguyen

I grew up in San Diego, CA 15mins from Tijuana Mexico and this reminds me of authentic Mexican food. Best tacos and burritos in RI hands down.

Kristina Shepherd

Nice outdoor patio, margaritas and delicious fresh tacos

Harvey Makadon

Great food, great ambiance. Eat there once a week.

Patrick McKinley

Being from Texas, I like to try all tacos across the USA. But my reference is from San Jose Cali and Texas. So I will definitely give them 4 stars on flavor, keep in mind the tortillas are grilled so they are dry, but the flavor corrected that. I wish they had horchata, but the do not sadly. The only downside I found was the price and being we are not in Cali or Texas...it is what it is. I can see how on a nice weather day they could draw a crowd though with the outside seating. So if you find yourself craving some pretty good tacos and has some money to blow...definately try this place out.

Tarah Johnson

I'm obsessed with their pickled radishes. The torta bread is delicious. I enjoyed everything.

Den Correia

Top 5 best tacos burrito and nachos I've ever had. This place is a most stop and they serve great home made margarita go as a group or on your own it won't disappoint

Kathy Adams

This place is so good what a hidden gem! Spent the day at the zoo and was craving mexican so we hopped online and came across this place - it blew our expectations away. We enjoyed it so much (for lunch) we went back in too order more to bring home for dinner. The taste is just so rich - def worth the trip! While the wait was a bit long, I found that the tacos were so worth it! There was a burst of flavor in every bite of each taco and I loved that fresh ingredients were used in the making of their dishes! Will definitely be back!

Alex Narodowy

Outstanding fantastic authentic Mexican classics, and delicious beverages

Lance Power

It was fine. I didn't the think it was OTW. buritto Bowl has a way better selection of Burittos.

Brandon Rollin

Clutch place to hit after parking at India Point to ride the East Bay Bike Path. About 30 miles round trip, awesome scenery with a nice breeze. Follow that up with the #1 tacos in Rhode Island! You're losing at life if you pass on that opportunity. For the love of pleasure, do it. It's 2 min awa

Lauren Armstrong

Yum! I have been trying all the local Mexican spots around Providence and I have found my go to spot! Tacos and Quesadillas are incredibly tasty. Meat cooked to perfection. The aqua fresca is delightful.

M

Be warned: this place is always swarming with Brown undergrads, but the food checks out so now I can see why! Delicious, fast casual- type. Might be difficult to find a seat (esp when the weather is bad since the majority of their seating is outside). But there is a great selection of food choices for our Vegan/Vegetarian/GlutenFree friends. There are also margaritas, and a few beers on the menu as well. Worth going as it is one of the better mexican restaurants in the neighborhood.

Khurram Hassan

Excellent Taqueria. We were going to another restaurant and found out that it was closed so we found this on Google Maps. What a great place and amazing food. Really fresh ingredients and very flavorful dishes. The menu is simple and …

Elizabethe Plante

Authentic fresh and spiced just right. The staff are super friendly and in the best neighborhood on east side

Kathryn McDaniel

Great food and awesome vegetarian options. Just wish there was a space for refilling water bottles so encourage less/no bottled water usage!

TAC AUGUST

Basic Mexican dish. Our burrito bowl was salty. Chicken was minimal and everything was prepped days ago from the salt except the lettuce. As a comparison, Chipotle is fresher, taste better, not as salty and has so much more variety to choose from to be frank with you.

Lucas Tomolonis

I like that you can bring your doggo there if you're eating outside.

dannybee2121

Fresh great food. Absolutely love their carnitas! Great fish taco as well. Tried the beef tongue taco, it was great! Definitely a Providence must.

Jonathan Williams

The best Mexican Food in RI.... Seriously.

Julie Scorzello

Best tacos ever. Awersome setting great out door seating. They make sure u dont leave hungrey

Thomas Alberico

Delicious al pastor. I can't wait to go back.

Tony P

Bowl want very fresh greens. A bit spicy imo. But it's really good. Sitting is only high tables inside the restaurants. There are sit down tables outside on both sides of the restaurant. Music was not overly loud. Would come back again

Dave Ferguson

Amazing flavors and presentation. Staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. Everything I tried was well worth the money.

Beth Royer

Delicious, loud, tasty. Eating outside not unpleasant, food excellent but man some sound reduction treatments in the ordering area might help everyone feel less anxious it was noisy. Would still suffer noise levels to eat again.

TJ Hughes

Always great, chorizo bowl was amazing. Quick service

Mauricio Portillo

I wil go back, again, again, and again. I ordered all kind of tacos available to taste them all, and fortunately for me they were all good. Providence has a nice place to enjoy tacos, outdoors and indoors, un expensive and delicious

Jay

Yummy yummy yummt!!! Really good clean food!!! Great portions and definitely worth the $$$. A must if you are in the area

Andrew Dabydeen

Amazing Mexican restaurant that’s always busy, no matter what time of the day you come. These are probably the best tacos that you’ll find in Providence, hands down. They have a wide variety of meat that you can choose from as well as …

Kat Datura

Great, inexpensive food. Plenty of outdoor seating. The churros are AMAZING.

Corey Pierce

AMAZING food, decent enough pricing and friendly staff!

Kim Frame

Stopped in for RI Food Fights(Taco Mania) This place has the absolute best tacos I’ve ever had!

Samuel Domingues

Simply THE BEST tacos in New England. A MUST try.

Lindsey Pepin

Don’t leave Providence without hitting up Tallulah’s! Best tacos I’ve had in a while

Sheryl DeMelo

OMG....this is the best Mexican Restaurant in this area.....saw the piece about them on Phantom Gourmet.....and had to check them out.....I was over the moon pleased with everything.....food is so delicious....flavors, textures and spices are so on point.....they did not disappoint in any way will definitely be making it a regular stop during the week...you need to visit them.....it's sooo goooood!

tyco411

Long lines here, and for good reason. Food was excellent. Be ready for a bit of spice though. I had the carnitas burrito, and the carnitas were perfect. Pulled pork quickly pan seared and packaged in a soft warm flour tortilla. We ate …

Telley Stacks

Taste just like authentic tacos in Mexico

al leclaire

Great assortment of tacos and service was excellent. Food wonderful.

Eddie Horner

Great vegan and vegetarian options. Awesome service and location.

Jessica Sims

The food was decent but it was way overpriced! I really wouldnt recommend to eat there. So many food options in providence and so many food trucks... dint eat here unless you dont mind spending OVER $5.00 for one taco!

Lord Insidious

Decent food. Over priced. Beer is expensive with very limited selection. Location is good.

Giuseppe Calderoni

Great food and quality

Peter Gnocchi

Great tasting food with good sized portions. 2 tacos is a perfect dinner! The portion of guac for a side order seems a little skimpy though. Overall I really enjoyed the food just a perfect touch of spiciness in the salsa on the tacos. Great atmosphere and reasonably priced

Usman Khaliq

Great food! Was visiting providence for a day and dropped by here to have dinner. The tacos were some of the best that we have had in the US so far, hands down! The place also has a great vibe and has very friendly staff. Also, their sodas have very unique and cool flavors.

Yi Vizard

Great food! Stop by with my coworkers one day. It would be perfect if there was some shade for the outdoor seating area!

Nick Bodell

You ever start an art project and you don't know when to stop? Like you just keep adding bushes or something to your painting? That's sort of what the food felt like to me. It could be a bit more simple. But you might love it. I have a very simple pallet (good pun right?) Anyways. I really appreciate that their prices include tips for their staff. And they are pretty quick even when they are busy (which seems to be often) Please note: I went here with my biological dad. If I had come with my step dad it probably would have been 3 stars 4 at the best. But my real dad is cool.

Bhargava Chittajallu

A terrific place in a calm neighborhood with friendly staff and quick service. The food was tasty and the quantity provided was filling. Good options to try from. I have been there a couple of times and the experience has been great. Sea food lovers - you gotta try the shrimp tacos. Tastes amazing.

Steven Kwong

This place was fantastic. I ordered 2 tacos, one chorizo and the other Al Pastor. Both were terrific. I would definitely stop back by when in the area!

Foad Torshizi

This place is always amazing. The food is consistently perfect. I strongly recommend their seafood. The shrimp is amazing. The staff is very friendly and nice. Expect a long wait if you haven't ordered online.

Harish Varada

The best Mexican Restaurant in RI. I love this place a lot. You can order anything in their menu and its so delicious and mouth watering.

Jennifer Lee

Really delicious tacos! Tried the carnitas, al pastor, and fried shrimp and they all were really excellent. The pickled radishes were super fresh and crunchy and the perfect complement to the tacos! Got in a little before noon and got a seat inside but by the time I left it was quite crowded so get in early if you want a seat.

Nelson Ruiz

Fast service, ama,ingredients savory food and out doors seating. The provide free water

Philip Crean

Not as good as I remembered. All salt not bite.

tawhid rifat

Great ambience and food

Rita Hansen

Great value! Delicious salads!

Sean Rocha

I love their tacos and my girl said it's the best burrito she has had.

Whitney Galletly

Great upscale taqueria with tacos, salad bowls, burritos, loaded nachos, and tortas. Fresh ingredients and flavorful protein options!

Brendan Kenny

This place is great. The heat from the burrito produced this great after taste that lasted awhile. Really well done.

Chris Thomas

Awesome spot, super fresh food, if you are looking for a good amount of food order the bowl or burrito

Amy Kneale

Best shrimp tacos I’ve ever had! I would love to have the recipe!!! Service was very quick and staff was friendly. I’m going to have to make a trip back to Providence just for their tacos

Matthew Sheehan

The food is always great. There is almost always a line when I go, but don't let that deter you, they are usually very quick. The flavorful meats and veggies in every meal are always great. The mango juice is super fresh and really delicious. Round out your meal with a churro (or save it for later) and you will leave happy.

Rachel Oakes

Outdoor seating was cute. Food was really good

Jesse Owen

Great little restaurant near Brown University with a lot of atmosphere for such a small building. The food was excellent, and service was fairly fast, despite the crowd of people.

Ashutosh Pattnaik

Had the pollo tacos. The food was good, different but nothing amazingly great. The staff are very nice and friendly. Should definitely try it once. The place is quite small so it has limited seating.

Paul L

Super Awesome- The Al Pastor is the best!

Can Inci

Very tasty Mexican dishes in a fun and cozy small restaurant. I had a burrito with beaf and it was delicious. They have nice chips, bottled sodas, fun music, efficient and helpful staff. If you are hungry and in the neighborhood, this is the place.

John Riendeau

Outstanding food and good service. Very small place and popular so be ready to wait a bit on a nice day. Well worth the wait.

John O'Keeffe

Great spot, lots of outdoor seating. Call ahead for takeout quick service Excellent tacos

Loren Witzel

I would give this place 5 stars based on all previous experiences except last night. They were closed at 9pm when I arrived so I had to go elsewhere.

j hwang

I was SOOO excited and looking forward to trying this restaurant based on the NUMEROUS 5 star reviews....but sadly I was left underwhelmed. I ordered the chicken bowl. It was just ok. Nothing too memorable and a little on the salty side. I …

Peter Landry

I think it's expensive for what it is. Plenty of places to get tacos and burritos in the city for less.

Harris Monte

Lengua is the best ever. Like no better tongue than this. everything else is good too i guess. Churros R

Corey Bailey

Authentic Mexican, online order quick in and out

Tyler Paradise

Fast, laid-back service with delicious Mexican street food. Small, casual interior - with your main seating being outside under tents which suited us perfectly. The menu is small enough not to overwhelm, yet highly customizable aiding many different diner's dietary needs. Vegetarian friendly with two veggie protein options for all dishes! My two suggestions if possible would be to serve Horchata along with the other agua fresca options and having available the green and red delicious hot sauces (house-made?) for customer use. Had to ask for hot sauce, which I can foresee being difficult during busy times. Would recommend and plan on coming back to try other dishes!

jonathan magnus

Went to a pig roast block party and had a great time. Their food is fantastic and the atmosphere is fun

jonathan gotti

The burrito bowl was beyond amazing. My whole family enjoyed their dish . Coming from the south we def recommend this place to all who are in the area

Gabrielle Travis

Amazing food and service with a smile! Great atmosphere!

Cristina S

The food is over priced but the food is ok. The workers there have great customer service. The mango agua fresca is so good and refreshing

Devin Ruiz

The best burritos in New England, in my opinion. I grew up in Southern California and have pretty high standards. While Chipotle always fills the void, Tallulah's is the real deal. Mexican food similar to what you'd get in California. The carnitas is awesome, tasty and moist, but with little crispy bits mixed in. Do yourself a favor and stop by!

Jorge Garcia

tacos arent very authentic. carnitas and barbacoa tacos are ok.

Richard Suls

This place is a gem. Food that is as locally sourced as possible. It's delicious and full of flavor. The staff is nice and paid a living wage. The owner is kind and often there working in the kitchen. Google was kind enough to let me know that I ate there on average about once a week in 2018. It's simply so good, reasonably priced, and fast (unless you get there in a busy time, which can happen!)... enjoy!

PC Gam

Fresh home made meats, tortillas, fixings for their tacos and bowls. Great flavor. Exceptional location when dining outside.

Elliott Sanders

Great food and very authentic tasting beans. The portions were good for the price. Expect to spend $10 or so. I would definitely go back. P.s. the birds (house sparrows, I think) were pretty aggressive but it was fun to watch them fly around.

April M.

Best carne asada I've ever had. The food here is excellent. Nice portions. The place is small, most people had take out orders. But we ate in, cafeteria style dining

Blynn Atchley

Best taco place around and ever. I get so excited to go here, you have no idea! I recommend not making any changes to your order, just get the tacos how they come with all the toppings! It’ll change your life! If you’re a taco lover, I highly recommend tallulah’s! I’d give it 10 stars if I could!

Devanshi Thakker

Extremely delicious! Everything is made fresh and you can tell that by the taste of it. For Vegetarian the option of Veggie bowl is the best!

Daniel Cole

Great food, affordable, lots of options. Staff is always great and quick. Would totally recommend, it's my go to taco place when I'm nearby.

Gwen Edgar

The braised beef is delicious and the tongue is very well cooked. More so than more places in the north east. The red salsa was disappointing and watery and chips serves cold. Otherwise, it was a great experience. Meals are ~$10. I got two meals out of one burrito. Would go again and recommend it to others! Indoor and outdoor seating.

Noelle D.

This place is so good all other mexican establishmenys pale in comparison

Roberto Sosa

Food was definitely good. Ordered some drinks and they were really good as well. They were not watered down with ice like some other places. A bit pricey though for the amount of food that they serve.

Ian Haan

Best tacos you’ll ever have, hands down. They recently added in new picnic tables outside which makes it a great place to enjoy lunch in the summer. I make a 45 minute drive each way just to eat here!

Lisa Judge

A gem. Found this on a fluke. Delicious and authentic. Also very reasonably priced!

Shensheng Wang

The taco is ok, but worth to try!
