The 15 Best Restaurants In Newport, Rhode Island 2024

"We can’t stress how important it is to come to Perro Salado during the summer and sip a cilantro-jalapeño margarita. Especially if you sit in the shade of the cherry tree that grows through the middle of their patio. This historic home-turned-Mexican restaurant is right in the middle of historic downtown Newport, and often has live music at the kitschy back bar where you should post up and snack on some chips and guac after a day roaming downtown. Stay for dinner and order the queso fundido, steak quesadillas, and weekend-only carne asada for two, but know the Sunday brunch is also excellent with sticky ribs, or chilaquiles and huevos rancheros." - danielle rose

"If you’re driving in on a Friday night, make this husband-and-wife helmed restaurant your first stop. Located in the northern part of town, where most restaurants are pretty tired/run-of-the-mill, this casual Mexican restaurant is the exception. Andi makes the cocktails (her cilantro-jalapeno martini is insane) while Dan heads up the kitchen, bringing his own brand of upscale Mexican to Newport. Expect perfectly battered fish tacos, a Mexican-infused kale salad, and avocado fries, which probably shouldn’t be missed."

I’m sorry that I don’t have food pics…those blood orange margaritas took over! Lol. Get the pitcher. Trust me. Sticky wings are the bomb. Anything you eat here is delicious. It’s a must whenever we are in town.

Great place and atmosphere, outside dining is great. Definitely try the Fried Avocado, its amazing! Taco Bowl is great and a nice nutritious meal. Very friendly staff, and great service!

Was hesitant to try Mexican food in Newport but this looked a bit upscale and didn’t disappoint. Unique take on some dishes with a local twist. Clearly fresh ingredients. Chips and salsa and guacamole were a huge portion and delicious. Margaritas were super tasty and came in many flavors. Went with the duck tacos which were stellar but could have used a third taco for that price. Server was great, she was patient and helpful. Would recommend to anyone and it’s obviously popular being so busy on a Tuesday night in late October. I’d say the only downside is the 1% addition to your bill for kitchen staff. I get the message and purpose but why not just pay your staff more rather than forcing your customers to subsidize your payroll?

Food are delicious, service really bad: waiter should be taught how to serve people and show more respect for the diners. Another thing: They gave me dirty water with residue.

Best meal of our entire trip! We came to Newport for seafood but I love Mexican and convinced my husband to try this place and I'm so glad we did! The food is phenomenal - the flavors of everything we ordered were out of this world - without a doubt this was our favorite meal of our entire vacation, wish they had a location in NY!

I heard rave reviews of this place so went here my last night of my trip as a Mexican food lover from Texas. The service was great. The food was good. We started by sharing the queso appetizer. It was really good with the bacon …. I had ordered the appetizer empanadas for my dinner after the queso thinking I wouldn’t be that hungry. They were, again, good but didn’t amaze me. I love the varied menu but was slightly disappointed by the food. The empanada shell did not taste quite right to me and undercut the filling. Still the service was great and I enjoyed my meal . Also it would be nice if you could specify indoor or outdoor seating for the reservation. My friend made it so I may have misunderstood the process but thought I would add that

The food was outstanding. The value for money spent is off the charts for Newport. The sticky ribs are spectacular. Great venue as well.

Best fish tacos I’ve ever had - and I have them everywhere! They were packed with fish and had so much flavor! And the sticky ribs - so good, I want to go back for more tomorrow. Along with the cilantro-jalapeño margarita, this was the best meal I’ve had in a long time!

Love this place and we go every time we're in Newport! The sticky ribs are to die for. Had the lobster quesadilla last time and it was worth every bite. The old house setting is quintessential Newport. Highly recommend!

Perro Salado feels like a hole in the wall but it's a pretty busy restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. I really enjoyed the service. The waitress was attentive and very good about recommendations on the menu. The chips came with a generous portion size which was really nice to snack on. The guacamole was solid. The sticky pork ribs were tender and I would recommend for sure. The quesadilla and the empanadas were good but rather average compared to others. Overall a solid experience. I'd come back and try the other stuff on the menu.

Great food great drinks! There is a time limit on the tables, however so beware. We had Carne Asada, chips and guacamole, a rice bowl, chicken enchiladas, and various kinds of margaritas. Drinks were excellent. Service was OK. We were given the check without being asked if we wanted desserts so we assumed they wanted us to leave. Meanwhile there were empty tables outside. Hmmm

Good spot! Came here with family on a Friday night (table of 6) and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Inside looks like a cute house - with a couple tables. Service and Food was very good! We ordered guac to start (great to share!!) and when you check in on yelp they give you free salsa/chips. Everyone ordered quesadilla's - I tried the lobster quesadilla. It was good! Also tried Mexican corn - spicy but good. Parking can be tricky but overall would go back and recommend.

I would give it 3.5 stars if I could but it doesn't warrant 4 stars. Ambiance is decent but nothing over the top. It is rather tightly spaced and both bars are small. Service was good but not personable...all business. Food was OK. The sticky ribs were tasty but my salmon tostada was a little overcooked There are better places of this type to try on the island

Food was ok. Guacamole was bland, needed more spice. Also, with no choice to the customer they surprise you with a 1% charge for "kitchen appreciation " to Your Bill. Not nice.

We came back here for brunch on a sunday. Got the chicken tinga enchiladas, huevos rancheros and the pork sticky ribs. The enchiladas were Aok and lacked flavor. The huevos rancheros were alright; it felt like a very Americanized version. The pork sticky ribs were quite good. The meat was tender and fell off the bone. Also ordered a blood orange margarita that never came. Overall it was a good experience.

I very much enjoyed my meal here. Highly suggest starting off with a Margarita, blood orange or watermelon. Then the sticky ribs appetizer, very nice flavors. The steak quesadilla was awesome, but the lobster tacos were perfection! Be ready to have a myriad of flavors burst in your mouth. The building is very quaint and the service was excellentl! Nice ambiance. Enjoy!

Ohh sooo good. So fresh and tasty! Awesome outside area and super nice staff. And Coke products! The hanger steak seasoning in my fajitas was perfection. Tons of veggies in there too. Mushroom asparagus "tacos" on na'an was delicious also. So many good Mexican options with such great ingredients. Loved it!!

TLDR: Cool atmosphere, good drinks, average to sub-par food, and average to sub-par service. We got the chips and salsa and side guac, queso fundido, chicken fajitas, and pork sticky ribs (not featured) with margaritas. Best part of the meal were the drinks and chips and salsa/guac. Salsa was nice and smoky and had a good consistency and the guac was solid. Drinks were good also, nothing crazy but enjoyable. The queso fundido was good but not the consistency of queso. Taste-wise I thought it was good but it was a fork and knife plate and not a dip. Chicken fajitas were very disappointing. The skillet wasn't hot and it looked like the chicken and veggies had just been chopped up and lightly sautéed and thrown in the skillet. Sticky ribs were fine but they were way too sweet. They honestly tasted like maple syrup and I wasn't expecting them to be that sweet. Overall giving 3 stars but it's a soft 3. Price was around $130 and it was not worth the money at all. If you want a cool place to get drinks then it's good but not for food.

Pro Tip: Check in on Yelp here to enjoy free chips and salsa! So delicious, very flavorful. I got the pulled pork enchiladas and they were so delicious! A very generous portion and I was so full by the end of my meal. I also got the watermelon margarita and it was really good. The decor and ambiance is very homey and nice -- definitely recommend making a reservation too! Overall, a really great Mexican meal in Newport during our stay.

Food was good, but sometimes too much seasoning. Chips were a lil over seasoned. Got the avocado fries since there were rave reviews. They were really good, but they were also over season and very very salty. after a few, I really couldn't do anymore of the salt. empanadas where the highlight of the night, steak quesadilla was good. Atmosphere is quaint and very cute. Really adorable outdoor patio, dig friendly, will definitely check out in the summer.

We got chips with salsa and guacamole. Very good! I got lobster quesadilla which was really good! My friend got fish tacos. Said fish was chewy, but otherwise good. Side of Mexican corn was good and spicy. Waitress was really good and sweet.

Mexican food in New England is always a crapshoot, but this is the worst example of white people Mex that I've tasted in recent memory. I ordered carnitas tacos, which consisted of a mound of unseasoned crockpot pork shoulder atop refried beans (??), with chunks of bacon (?!) on top. Had to beg for hot sauce to try to salvage the situation, but still so remarkably bad I couldn't eat them. While my partner's beef quesadilla was nothing to write home about, it was edible and the margaritas were A-okay! I'd avoid this one if doing more than drinking.

Bottom line, the Emperor has no clothes. Meh food and very nice ambiance. After seeing some of the laudatory reviews here and recommendations of friends we finally tried Perro Salado. We don't understand the hype. The staff being insouciant and unfriendly didn't help. Then there was the admonition to scan the code to view the menu on line - pretty standard stuff, except when the cell signal is too weak to connect and no WiFi is available. Paper menus are grudgingly provided. The Farmers Salad special was swimming in way too much dressing. Maybe it was to conceal greens wilted past their best if used by date? The tricolor carrots were a nice touch though. The entrees elicited a reaction of 'that's it?!' Mushroom tacos were surprisingly small and bland. Appetizer sized. They looked good (especially if you had a magnifying glass), promising with cilantro and green sauce, but the flavor and taste had departed for the weekend. Nothing bad, just not... good. Chicken enchiladas were OK, and just that. OK, and nothing more. Also on the bland side, though the chicken meat itself was good. The ambiance is what Perro Salado has going for it. And not much else. Interior is a rabbit warren of rooms in a historic house, eclectic decor, inviting bar. The outdoor patio is especially nice with a trellis and fairy lights, with a full size tree growing in the middle of it. Overall the atmosphere gets 4 stars, but the food no more than 2 stars (= average 3 star review, generously). We couldn't think of a single reason to come here over La Taqueria Vecina, a MUCH better Mexican restaurant with VASTLY better food literally just around the corner. Especially at the prices charged. We left feeling slightly taken. We get it that the restaurant business is tough these days, and applaud and appreciate those sticking to it. But a restaurant needs to give some reasons to go there, and we couldn't find any for Perro Salado. Unfortunately, for us it was a one and done.

I came here as it was a stop on a food tour I was on. It used to be an old house and it definitely had that feel on the inside and outside. Once inside, it was very cool to see the festive area. The service was also very accommodating. I tried the sticky pork ribs. It was served with pickled red onions and cilantro I believe. The ribs were marinated in coca cola for hours and it was definitely noticed as the meat was very tender and succulent. The meat came right off the bone which made for an enjoyable eating experience as ribs can sometimes be tough to work with. The flavor leaned towards a spicy and sweet taste. Will I go back? Definitely.

Food is fantastic! Had the street corn with chips, steak fajitas, and the tofu quesadilla and all were fantastic. Love the feel of the place, and has way more seating and floors across this old building. Watch your head upstairs if you're tall! Drinks and service is great too as they got us in earlier than our reservation.

Came Saturday night for date night and was charmed by this house-turned-restaurant. The place is cozy with mood lighting, tight tables, and fireplaces. empanadas: (they change based on chef's choice) laid on a bed of spinach, pico, and crema, served warm with the flakey outside and tender sweet potato inside; a good portion for the price carne asada plate with sweet potato and brussel sprouts: their special for the day, love the variety of veggies and protein on one plate, had fun making myself steak tacos with the tortillas but wished I had more chimichurri or other sauce/cheese like the steak quesadilla Steak quesadilla: this was so flavorful! The cheese, steak, and chimichurri were so savory, and comes with a big side salad to cut the richness (surprised it wasn't with the typical rice and refried beans) Overall I was impressed with the restaurant's ability to offer elevated, classic Mexican fare that dolled out more plant-based (side) dishes. The food came out fresh and well-made. It's certainly not cheap (the price of our bill would have been $80), but there are cheaper options on the menu. Great place!

Every once in a while you find a place that is magical. Found on a little side street, this place is a small house with a beautiful outdoor eating area. Service was prompt and the food was lights out! We had the street corn and chips and salsa to start. Both were excellent. Two of us had fish tacos, one person had the chicken fajitas and another had steak quesadilla. Everyone loved their food! This will be a staple when we are in Newport! Margaritas and Sangria by the pitcher! Nice bonus!

most of the food we ordered (vegetables enchiladas, chicken Tinga tacos, chips and salsa) wasn't seasoned enough; tasted bland. Even the kids quesadillas were small in portions and they couldn't finish (said taste was weird). A bit puzzled overall on how the food tasted. Service was slow.

There is no way to do Perro justice with a review. Passionfruit margs here are the finest in the state (maybe anywhere) with a nice tang. The sticky ribs and avocado fries are a must. Truly though, the BRUNCH is next level. Can't do wrong with any of it but whatever you order, add the biscuit.

The service was excellent and the food arrived quickly. Everyone on Yelp mentions the sticky pork ribs. They were great. Fell off the bone. We had a couple of tasty cocktails, and we split the tostada with short ribs. It was excellent. I can't wait to go again and try something else!

Hello Perro, As one of my favorite restaurants I value your food and hope you value my feedback. I've been a long time customer and have always loved the steak quesadilla. Recently when visiting I noticed the steak quality has heavily deteriorated. Sad! It went from a delicious flank steak to a shaved steak you may get at Arby's. Oh and the price went up? Shrink-flation is real I guess... My second feedback is Gustavo was very rude. He hit on the men at the table and ignored the women. He rushed to turn the table and didn't take feedback well when I mentioned the steak quality. He was hostile after this and not customer friendly. Is the question "how is everyone's food?" just rhetorical now? He kind of ruined our night haha. I hope management does something about both of the prior raised concerns.

My daughter and I went here for dinner and had a wonderful experience. At first we were not happy with the table we were seated at. I went back to the host assuming he'd tell us we couldn't be moved as the restaurant was pretty full. But he happily moved us to a quieter and less noisy table upstairs. We were so glad! He was very nice and wanted us to be happy - I was thrilled with that. Our waiter was also great - he was super helpful and always available when we needed him. Our meals tasted fresh and delicious, and were reasonably priced. Really great restaurant overall. I totally recommend it!

I really enjoyed our experience here at Perro Salado. My boyfriend was craving Mexican and I was looking for a nice walk. Don't count out this section of Newport. Big flavors and awesome atmospheres. We did not have a reservation, and if you choose to go, I recommend getting one so that you can sit on the patio. It looked awesome. We had a table to ourselves in their upstairs section which honestly was nice too. They can definitely accommodate groups. The chips, salsa, and guacamole were our starter. The salsa is homemade and delicious. I would've eaten it on it's own to be honest. Tons of flavors. Our entrees were incredible. I had the grilled romaine Caesar salad with blackened shrimp. I think grilled romaine is such a treat and this was so crisp and delicious. The blackened shrimp are SPICY (which I loved), but if you're on the fence, just know, the spice is HIGH! My boyfriend's steak quesadilla was insanely good. I had a little bite and a twinge of regret for not getting one! It could easily be split between two people and came with a little side salad on the plate which got rave reviews. All in all, great atmosphere and fresh, unique flavors. Great time had by all.

Words cannot adequately describe how much I enjoyed this place but I'll try... Everyone at our table was blown away by the flavors. Going in, I wasn't sure what to expect, since New England isn't really known for its Mexican food. Since our meal earlier this evening, I've thought about the food several times since. The margaritas are excellent, chips and guac are the best I've had outside of Mexico, chipotle corn was great, shishito peppers great, quest fondito great, and lobster quesadilla great. I imagine the other dishes were amazing as well. It's not cheap but also not expensive. It could be 5x the price and I'd still pay. I'll be back often! Based on my experience, I could not believe how there could be any 1-star reviews. You can read through them if you want a laugh... people complain about the dumbest stuff. I simply can't speak highly enough about this place. (slow clap)

This is by far the worst Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. My party ordered the same meal and we received 2/12 sides for our dishes. Our food was cold by the time we ate it cause we did not receive any of our sides with our meals. The salsa was just tomato sauce and the chips had no flavor. It is extremely short staffed during the "busy vacation time." The sangria was good. The table was at a 45 degree angle and sticky. The music was very good.
google avatar

Tina B.

Yelp
The sangria was weak. I don't think there was any liquor, just a pitcher of ice mostly. It was supposed to be red but was more of a light pink, I don't recommend. The elote was really good but after cutting the corn off the cob there was only about 1/4 cup of corn, not worth $7.00. The salsa was really good and that's about it. Sat by the bar and people were so loud I couldn't even talk to my spouse. Fish tacos were burnt and the sticky rib was just a dry pre cooked and heated piece of meat.

Came here for dinner and we had chips, salsa, and guacamole to start, followed by an order of cheese enchiladas and Korean duck tacos. The waitress was friendly and attentive. As people who lived in Southern CA for decades, we felt the food was ok, but rather bland. The salsa had no spice or salt to it at all. It tasted like slightly smoky tomato. The avocado and tomato pepita topping used to make the guacamole were very fresh, but it also lacked flavor. We felt it could've used some salt, garlic, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice. The cheese in the enchiladas had good flavor, but the side of Mexican rice and black beans that came with them were flavorless.

Came on a Saturday night with a dinner reservation for 5:30pm. We sat on the patio which I thought was lovely...Service was slow but I chalked that up to being a Saturday night at a busy place... I think there was only one server for the entire restaurant. Unfortunately our food all came out cold (4 people) and one of the orders was wrong and then didn't even really taste great.... Would not come back. :( bummer

The gem of Perro Salado is a special place. The food is splendid. Perro makes their take on Mexican delicious. I recommend many things but the sticky ribs as a starter is my favorite. The vegetable enchiladas and kale salad are outstanding. Gus gave us great service. He is very skilled bartender and server. The building is a colonial but Perro has made into a welcoming and fun space. Check this spot out

Well I've reviewed this before and favorably but Yelp is now not recognizing one is posting an "update". We took friends the other night and all had a swell time and likewise on the food. With new normal, they are slammed - so book early. Great and friendly service. Cozy spot. Good luck on finding parking. Cocktails are well priced (for Newport); however found their "spicy margarita" very bland. The chips and guac and salsa is a real bargain - enough for 4 and a LOT of guac. Entrees were fish tacos, chicken enchilada, and some sort of burrito. Portions are hefty so some may be taking something home. Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Value 5/5 Cleanliness 5/5 Noise 3/5 (average = lively) Decor 3/5 Damages for 4 with tip was $135. Although there is little competition around, clearly the best TexMex (or possibly Mex?) around.
