“ Absolutely loved my experience at La Eskina! From start to finish, the service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was incredible—tacos packed generously with flavorful, juicy meat, and the nachos were perfectly crisp and loaded with toppings. The margaritas were a definite highlight too! We visited on Cinco de Mayo, and the festive atmosphere was so fun! They even surprised us with a few freebies, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the night feel even more special. You can tell everything is homemade with care, from the salsas to the churros.. crispy on the outside, warm and soft inside The owner was so kind and clearly passionate about creating a great experience for everyone. La Eskina nails both flavor and vibe. I can’t recommend it enough!! ”

“ We just got home from La Eskina and I wanted to write my review right away because it was so amazingly good! I love a good taco, and tonight we had some great ones! We were greeted warmly and immediately served complimentary warm tortilla chips and a delicious bean dip. I ordered a house margarita, which was perfect, and I really liked that it didn't contain any food dye. For food, we ordered tacos - 2 asada, 1 chorizo, and 1 carnitas. The corn tortillas were soft and the meat was delicious. I love a good street taco and these were so delicious. The tacos were served with two side sauces - one mild and one a little more spicy. Also served with the tacos were shredded lettuce and a generous slice of lime. Yum!!! We also got a side of rice, which was really good, and I would have loved to have tried a tamale, but they were out of them during our visit. For dessert we had the churros which were stuffed with chocolate, and also came with two side sauces: caramel and chocolate. Service was wonderful and I'm so happy to have discovered La Eskina. We'll be back soon! ”

“ Our first time here. We had Tacos, some of the best tasting I have had delicious. There street tacos are amazing. The service was great very friendly. The atmosphere was great. Highly recommend a trip. ”

“ Amazing little place. Great food and an awesome vibe. Make sure to try the churros for dessert. ”

“ They start you w free chips and pinto beans appetizer that’s delicious. We always begin w/the special of the day because it’s always really good! Everything we’ve had has been high quality, well made and reasonably priced. Next time I’m going to try the birria ramen! It’s a small space in the middle of a residential neighborhood so you likely wouldn’t know it’s there if not for word of mouth and mentions online. Service is always very good, too! The high score here on Google is accurate. We go for lunch regularly and always eat well and leave happy! . ”

“ Tucked away in a quiet, pleasant Cranston neighborhood, La Eskina Gastronomia Mexicana is the definition of a hidden gem that absolutely deserves to be found. This isn't just another Mexican restaurant; it's a truly exceptional culinary experience you should make a destination. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is immediately welcoming—clean, bright, and genuinely festive. It sets the stage for a wonderful meal. The incredible attention to service is where La Eskina truly shines. Our server was great and super friendly, but the highlight was the personal care: the owner stopped by our table twice to ask how everything was. That level of engagement and commitment to the guest experience is outstanding. The food journey begins uniquely and deliciously. Forget the standard chips and salsa; La Eskina greets you with a basket of seasoned chips served alongside amazing, flavorful refried beans. It's a simple twist, but an absolutely delightful and memorable upgrade that sets a high bar for the meal. For the main event, we sampled the carnitas tacos, asada tacos, and a tamale. Every single item was delicious, highlighting the quality and authenticity of their traditional recipes. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality Mexican food served in a lovely setting by people who genuinely care, look no further. La Eskina is, without a doubt, one of the best Mexican restaurants in the entire state. This is a place you need to seek out—you won't regret it! ”
