Tortilla Flats
If you’re in Providence and you’re looking for Mexican food, you would be doing yourself a real disservice of you didn’t go to Tortilla Flats. Since the 1980s, Tortilla Flats has been the place to go for great Mexican food, and for great Mexican drinks. It’s also the place to find what may be the best guacamole in the state.
Tortilla Flats has a warm, friendly atmosphere and, even if it didn’t, the food would still make it worth your time. If you stop by for lunch, try out their Cajun quesadilla, served with Maine shrimp and bell pepper salsa or, if you’re looking for something a bit more traditional, try one of their chicken fajitas, served on a sizzling cast iron skillet with mushrooms, peppers, and onions. Or, if you’re not sure what to get, try one of their combo platters that will let you sample a wider section of the menu.
For dinner, treat yourself to one of Tortilla Flats’ entrees, such as the San Miguel Salmon, a salmon filet encrusted with blue corn and coconut, and topped with sweet corn, bell pepper salsa, and chipotle ranch sauce. Or, you could try their Chicken Mole, a spicy and sweet sauce covering flame-grilled chicken breast. If you’re not in the mood for Mexican, try one of their signature burgers, like the Niagara Engine 3, served with chili pepper, habanero relish, chipotle and blue cheese.
If you’re looking for something alcoholic to drink with your meal, you are most definitely in luck. Tortilla Flats boasts seventy seven different tequilas to choose from, not to mention an unmissable sangria, made with fresh fruit and burgundy wine.
Tortilla Flats is located on Hope Street, right near the intersection with Olney Street and right next to the Pizza Gourmet. For more information about Tortilla Flats, including a full menu, visit www.tortillaflatsri.com.
