La Catrina Tacos and Tequilas — Restaurant in Providence

Newly opened Mexican restaurant in PVD... The atmosphere is dark but not uncomfortable. Club music begins playing around 830 PM and is a bit too loud for the small space that is lacking sound dampening - a nice touch at a lower volume.

The wait staff is very attentive and you can tell they're dedicated to impressing the patrons.

Food is very tasty with some unnecessary culinary embellishments to dress up the look. Solid flavors all around and good portion sizes.

My wife and I enjoyed the freshly made guacamole (table side with plenty of ingredient options) with chips, the pork belly tacos (slightly spicy, crispy and sweet pork belly), the tamales (we opted for the salsa verde on the side - good call, as the soft, fluffy corn would have been soaked with sauce and was perfect without) and the Molcajete with mixed meats in a perfect sauce (the sauce is amazing but I felt as if I was leaving too much behind on my plate and wanted to scoop the rest into tortilla chips).

The price, even with drinks added was very reasonable and we were a bit surprised at how low when we received the bill... This is a spot to visit frequently when in the city and it definitely helps that parking is...

I’m glad I found this place just a short walk from the memorial bridge/park. It just opened less than a week ago and feels kind of like a secret spot since its partially a basement. Has some cute sidewalk windows that let in natural light and a cozy vibe charming vibe

I got the guac and carne asada. The guac that came with the entree was fine but, the fresh guacamole appetizer is the way to go. They tailored it to exactly how I like it, and served it in a traditional molcajete. The carne asada was also a standout since it was seasoned perfectly and full of flavor.

Definitely worth a visit if you're craving quality Mexican food with great atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back and try more...

Ramón was wonderful and made me a totally customized dish when I came in late seeking vegetarian tacos that did not (yet) exist on the menu! Providence is difficult to find late-night food and I'm happy there's a real option in the city beyond alcohol or burgers and fries (sorry, Haven Bros).

Dinner was delicious and I hope some vegetarian, vegan, or DIY / create-your-own options make their way into the permanent menu rotation! It could be a hearty little corner between you and Veggie...
