Al Son De Mi Barrio

I have very little patience for gringo tacos when the real thing is so flavorful, inexpensive ($ 1.50/regular taco since this spot opened), and if you know where to look, no longer hard to find in Providence (whew!). Located in the at times nightmarishly busy intersection diagonal from the Price Rite-​Eagle Square, Al Son De Mi Barrio is the dining-​in offshoot of their stellar food truck regularly located off Manton Ave. This permanent space has 4 small 2-​seater tables for dining in if you want, but there’s been times it’s been crammed with so many people it looks like the clown car at the circus. I’ve mainly gotten carry out b/​c the space itself is very cramped, as in, take 3 steps in and you’re at the register. I’d probably be a regular here if 2 things happened: 1. the street parking situation got better and 2. service speed regularly improves. Service in particular can be excruciatingly slow, so I’d ask what the wait time is before you pay. Because of slow service, I actually prefer their nearby taco truck, but it would be tough to find much better indoor tacos than these at this price point within a 20 minute drive from this place. Solid spot.

These are amazingly good tacos, worth a visit!
All the real Mexican tacos worth a try, but the chicken I would avoid. If u bring a friend that is not use to the real stuff they are fine, just no bang!
Friendly service, clean kitchen, and worth a trip. They deliver too!

A lil hole in the wall place, just like the other reviews had stated. Yes, authentic mexican food. Not the terrible and medicare gringo stuff you see around here.
I’m from southern california and have been to mexico numerous times. This is a great taco shop, especially in a tiny town like Providence.

Yummy, authentic Mexican food made with fresh ingredients! Their menu is basically mexican staples (tostadas, huaraches, burritos, etc) with your choice of meat. The special taco with chorizo was especially tasty.
Not much in the way of seating inside – 3 high tops with 2 seats each, but the server was very attentive and answered any questions we had about the menu.
No booze, but they have a nice selection of sodas and juices.

This place doesn’t look like much from the outside but their food is amazing. They have a better selection of meat than most mexican places in the area (i was surprised to see tongue on the menu) and all of their ingredients were very good quality. Both times i’ve been there the staff was very friendly and the prices were pretty cheap considering the quality. Definitely a great spot for cheap, authentic mexican food. Try the tortas.
