Bites Nearby: Your Mexican Place in East Providence

Lately, it seems everyone is on the hunt for that perfect little Mexican restaurant to call their own. It’s no wonder. “Mexican places” (as we call them) possess the perfect ingredients for a great night out: flavorful food, service that makes you feel like family and low prices.

Luckily for all of us, in Rumford is right around the corner.

It’s hard to know what part of El Azteca takes the number one spot in our hearts. Is it the huge menu that goes on and on? Is it the fun atmosphere? Got it! It’s the cheap and plentiful beer.

With every bite, you’ll swear a lovely grandmother was puttering away to put just the right amount of love and guacamole in your dish. They have Mexican-style rib eye, chalupas (real chalupas, not that drive-thru stuff) and margaritas that are like personal visits from Jesus Cristo, Himself.

This place is a jackpot for those looking to come as they are. And with plenty of table and bar seating, it’s a great place for a group outing.

Most of the entrees do not exceed $9, which is absolutely unheard of when you’re eating food made from scratch.

So drive over, dig in and claim El Azteca as your own.
