I love the feel of this restaurant! It's almost caribbean/south american in decor and it's right off the water in downtown Newport, RI. It's difficult, for me anyway, to find Mexican food in this area...and sometimes nothing else will do. They have some great dishes with Carne Asada included, and I love that stuff.
Their desserts are good and gooey just as dessert should be. And without being too cliche for a mexican place (I hate when they have "dessert tacos" or fried ice cream, just don't like it).
This location must be seasonal, because other than summer I've never seen them appear open when I go by. They have french doors/windows that open directly onto the water, so in winter that would make keeping the customers warm quite difficult. Parking downtown can be a challenge, especially in season. But there are a few spots a bit down the road from this that aren't especially convenient to anything else that are sometimes open for the taking.
