" This little place is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. The flavors are rich and satisfying, and although the service can be slow, it feels like family, and the food is always up to par. I'll certainly be bringing friends here over and over again! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at La Excelencia was decent overall. The food has great flavors, especially the nachos. However, there's certainly room for improvement in service speed. There was a bit of a wait for my order even with not many people in line, which could make me think twice about revisiting too soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely blown away by the flavor and authenticity of the tacos here! They're unlike anything else I've had in Rhode Island. The homemade tortillas made each bite even better. The chicharron tacos were a highlight, bursting with flavor. I went around lunch hour and the wait was a bit longer, but so worth it. I would come back every week if I could! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't help but rave about this place! The food has an incredible taste, especially the fresh tacos. It's like a fiesta in your mouth with every bite! The cozy atmosphere is perfect for casual dining. My only issue was the cleanliness of the dining area, which could use some attention. Nonetheless, the authentic flavors make up for it! I'll definitely bring my friends next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Excelencia has been my little treasure spot for authentic Mexican food. The chicharron tacos are simply amazing! The only downside is the inconsistent service; sometimes it's quick, but other times, you might find yourself waiting. If you can overlook that, the food will make it worthwhile. Come hungry as the portion sizes are fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has become my regular spot for casual dining. I've tried a few different dishes, and they all have been quite satisfying. However, the order accuracy could be better; I sometimes get the wrong items. Still, the authentic flavors make up for it, and the prices keep me coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is consistently good, but it's the vibe that keeps me coming back. It's a no-frills place, with authentic food that tastes like home-cooked meals. I love grabbing some tacos and enjoying them in a casual setting. Plus, the prices are easy on the wallet, making it a great choice for lunch breaks. However, I do notice the service can vary, especially during busy hours. All in all, still my go-to place for tacos in Providence! " (*Curated Review*)
