When I offered to take my brother out for his birthday, he suggested a restaurant in Warwick I hadn’t heard of yet. I have been missing out!

Formerly a breakfast spot located on Warwick Ave, Neza Mexican Restaurant has been open since last July. The renovated interior looks sleek and modern featuring booths, tables and dynamic pendant lamps. The bar is lit from below and paired with comfy yellow bar stools sure to put you in a festive mood.

Our visit started with some really tasty Margaritas. (I had the Sandia, fruity and not too sweet!) Did I mention the crispy chips and fresh salsa? Superb!

Our table took a while to decide what to order while catching up with each other and checking out all the authentic dishes offered. The menu features a large assortment of drinks, appetizers, street food and entrees. 

Stephania, our server,  had great timing, was attentive, friendly and made fabulous suggestions. We savored some elote (flavor explosion), chile relleno (irresistibly cheesy) and flautas (sublimely crunchy). The fajitas are seasoned to perfection and served with adorable little molcajetes for your pico de gallo, cheese and guacamole.  Some even have little animal faces, so cute!

You can find Neza Mexican Restaurant at 465 Warwick Ave, Warwick, RI.  

Parking (and the entrance) is located around the back of the building, where you can check out a stunning mural!
