Xaco Taco - Providence

30 minute wait not too shabby! Parking is crazy so be mentally prepared for that. I ordered shrimp taco my boyfriend ordered the steak tacos. The tacos were fckn amazing!!! Came with side of rice beans. We also got nachos, decent, but I’ve had better. We both got a pineapple margarita. They were very strong

I ate here while visiting Providence. This restaurant is located close to downtown, and it was hard to find parking, I wonder if they could strike a deal with the gas station next door for the 20 empty spots they'd gain. The building is open-air and roomy inside, and has a lot of tables outside by the road as well. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the kitchen definitely takes pride in their work. The food was outstanding, authentic Mexican food. The majority of the menu is tacos or alcohol, and I'd give the money factor a due to the drinks. Even an 8oz bottle of soda costs 4, with some margaritas over 10 apiece. I think the food was reasonably priced based on the quality of the ingredients. They also serve grasshoppers, if you prefer. I did not try the grasshoppers. My meal was the Al Pastor platter, which was 2 tacos filled with adobo-marinated pork, pineapple, and salsa, with sides of black beans and Mexican rice. It was so delicious, and even the black beans were worth complimenting due to the perfection of the spices.

So glad I stopped here for lunch. Split street corn, chips and salsa, and 4 tacos with my fist over some cocktails. Don't bite. Everything was delicious, but the Barbacoa taco was from this world. We had the blueberry cheesecake for dessert, which was also incredible. Our server Kayla was great and made it a great experience. The decor is cool and funky and the atmosphere was great. We will definitely come back!

Xaco Taco is the jam. I always have a good time when I come here. Your margaritas are great, the guacamole is worth every time the tacos are TDF...for die! The food comes fresh and surprisingly fast every time. I tried the first time last night. WOW. This consommé is so tasteful and light. The Tacos had the perfect snack and filling for diving. We had the churros and the flan to dessert. I can't tell you what's better because they're both delicious in their own right. This is one of my braces for Taco joints. Xacoooo!!!
