El paisano restaurant

6/12/24—I hadn’t planned on apartment hunting, but when my friend called me in distress about her mother’s health back in Guatemala , I decided to take her out to eat because she was stressed out, had barely eaten all day, and I hoped to distract her from what was going on., I decided on El Paisano Guatemalan restaurant I'd been eyeing for years. It was a little after 4 PM when we arrived, the sun casting a gentle glow through the window, giving the place a warm, welcoming feel. The restaurant, a cozy yet spacious spot with views of the bustling street and the trees beyond, had always intrigued me. Today, with friends mind preoccupied, I hoped the familiar flavors might provide some comfort. As we walked in, I noticed a few men at the bar. The music, although a bit loud, had moments of s

Really good food. The only reason I didn't give more stars is because of the language barrier... nobody there speaks much English, so trying to order was not great for my English only speaking family.

We have a very good time .food was perfect , hand-made tortillas on the spot . .. you must try the orchata . You must put not less than $30 in your pocket per person to eat this food with no alcohol.. .the bad think is the parking it is small and we have to park on some one else parking lot. And you have to deal with some people drinking alcohol ,talking loudly and no one from the restaurant says nothing about it... ...

Just stopped in to get a couple drinks. The micheladas are GREAT!!! The place is nice and clean. The staff was very friendly. It's a nice little hidden gem of a bar/restaurant. I can't wait to stop back in when I'm actually hungry and try the food. The wait staff doesn't seem to speak a lot of English, mostly Spanish. But they are very friendly and it was still a pleasure to order, regardless of the minor language barrier.

Overpriced and food quality was not worth the cost. Lunch took a long time to come to the table and the food was cold. Service was not good. Much better options available for Guatemalan food in Rhode Island.
