Rhode Island is a foodie state, but isn’t exactly known for its Mexican food. That said there are quite a few notable places throughout the state that serve up authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine. Your first thoughts probably include places throughout Providence, but there are other options. This smaller city located outside of Providence has tons of options!

Central Falls is a historic city located in Providence County.

Located along the Blackstone River, this city was once a bustling mill town, but has fallen under some disrepair over the years.

Luckily for Rhode Islanders, there have been efforts in recent years to revive the area back to its glory.
