    A cold January day and a bright warm spot to enjoy a scrumptious lunch with friends. The comments around the table were in unison about the salads and dressing, the Hall of Fame chowder and swordfish Reuben sandwich. What a great meal.

    Perfect little casual lunch spot to kick off the new year! We loved our spot at the bar and the staff was so friendly! The kale salad with avocado is so yummy - paired with the baked clams it was the perfect lunch for a catch up with a good friend.

    The service was amazing, and the staff did a great job of providing good tips for what to order. As a Hispanic person, it’s been hard to find authentic Hispanic food in the area, but the food here reminded me so much of home. All of the salad and dips were delicious, the enchiladas verdes??? If you’re not getting the enchiladas, you’re wrong. I’m sure everything else on the menu is just as amazing, but the enchiladas were soooo good. The margs here are also good, I got 2 different ones (Prickly Pear and the Dama) and both were strong, fresh drinks. And last but not least, the tres leches. It comes in a small bowl but after eating everything else, it’s the perfect amount. It’s served with a scoop of icecream and it is AMAZING. I’m not a food critic or a professional by any means, but this is probably my new favorite place in Newport. If you need an excuse to have the best Hispanic food in town, THIS PLACE IS IT!!
