Reviews for Dolores in Providence, RI
Excellent excellent food and great service. Be sure to get the tres leches, it was splendid!!
If you enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine, this is the place. During busy times it is hard to get a table, especially for just a... couple, however you can usually get s seat at the bar and the food and bar service are more expediently served. Parking is onthe street and is normally available within a two block area. Great place to practice your Spanish too! Read more
Lovely spot, beautiful art work. The food was delicious. We tried the cactus salad, it was different in a pleasant way! We asked... for more jalapeños and we?re brought a side dish of them which lasted through our entrees. The cactus which has a slimyconsistency was on the salty side which I liked. I had the Suiza, 3 chicken enchiladas smothered in a green sauce. There wasonly chicken in the tortillas. They were good, but thought adding some slivers of jalapeños, tomatoes and maybe some of theonions from the cactus salad would?ve made these enchiladas- so much better. The chicken wasn?t super flavorful, it wasn?t blandbut maybe that was because of the green sauce. The Mole Poblano that was served with beans, tortillas and rice was good. Weagreed the refried beans were delicious, great flavor. They looked like black beans. The mole which I only tried, was eaten upand described to me as ?really good.? Mole is not my thing, but they had a few dishes with various mole sauces. The bartenderwho we spoke with as we were leaving was super friendly! Might consider sitting at the bar next time, it?s away from main diningarea. We were initially seated near the kitchen away from all the diners, so we asked for another table, there were plenty. Wehad a reservation so we were not sure why we were sat away from the rest of the diners/action. The restaurant filled up but notcompletely so there were plenty of tables, including a couple of cozy tables for 4 that offer a little privacy. Read more
My wife and I came in to celebrate our wedding anniversary. There is no host stand and no one there to greet you when you... arrive. So we were a little confused when we first walked in. Bartenders and servers did not acknowledge us either. Eventually aserver greeted us and brought us to our seats. Once seated about 15 Minutes of waiting our server brought menus and waters.Returned about 10 Minutes later and took our drink order. Then we had to wait about 30 minutes before our server returned withour drink order but only brought my wife?s which was mostly juice and she forgot mine. We had to wait another 10 minutes beforeshe returned with my drink order. We ordered our meal. It took over an hour before our food came out. My meal came out ice coldand my wife?s order didn?t come out for another 15 minutes. Her shrimp tacos were burn and dry. My meal besides being cold wasdry and the mole had a very store bought flavor to it. I normally don?t write negative reviews. I attempted to reach out to theowners without a response. Needless to say not the best wedding anniversary and not at all worth what my wife and I spent on avery disappointing meal and drink. Huge let down. Place has a ton of potential but needs some serious attention. Read more
Yummy food and one of the best drinks ever made. Sotol Sour.
As with other reviewers, we didn't have a very favorable experience waiting for the host/ess to greet let alone seat us. And... when we were seated, the table was dirty and poorly cleaned thereafter. So why four stars then? Because the food was INCREDIBLE.We decided the subpar service - which did improve drastically after the initial host/seating mediocrity - was WELL worth theimpeccably flavored dishes. The mole was one of the best I've ever had, the tacos were street taco-style in their relatively fewand simple ingredients and yet exquisitely flavorful beyond any comparable taco I've had. The cocktail was wonderfullyconceived, balanced and presented. BRAVO. With a few improvements to the upfront customer service, this place would be an easy 5stars. We'll be back, no doubt. Read more

Very tasty. On last Sunday of the month they have Dj's playing good music during brunch to compliment the good food. Good vibes.... Viva Mexico! Read more
