Perro Salado

The 16 Best Restaurants In Newport, Rhode Island - Newport - The Infatuation

"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, lobster quesadillas, and carne asada platter, but know the Sunday brunch is also excellent with sticky ribs, or chilaquiles and huevos rancheros." - danielle rose, carlo mantuano

"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."
