We orginally wanted to try a new Mexican restaurant that recently opened near our flat but it was closed -- it being the magical Monday. It was our first night living in Providence and we had to eat out so five of us, me, Susie, Rosemary, our friend from Gerrish days in Maine this past summer who stopped by for the evening, Susie's brother Dick and his wife Dorothy who drove down to help us celebrate settling in, all headed off to Atwell's Avenue to see what was open.
We no sooner got out of the car and started strolling looking for someplace to eat than I spied Don Jose. We remarked then -- and several times during later forways to Atwell's -- that there were in fact quite a few different ethnic places to eat on fedeeral Hill than Italian.
Anyway, the interior was relaxed, the service extremely warm and friendly. The opening Margaritas were delicious and indeed so was the food: burritos mole, enchiladas and the snacking chip were homemade and scrumptious. For five of us with drinks the bill came to just a hair over a hundred bucks (before tip), which included drinks.
Don Jose Tequilas is also online.

Cool blog! I found you through a google blog search and I'm going to link to you from mine (if that's ok, leave me a comment if it's not).
If you're looking for more Mexican restaurants to try, you should check out El Rancho Grande. They use top quality ingredients and are really in it for the food! Maria, who does all the cooking and co-owns the restaurant with her son, is there all the time and is great to chat with if you need recommendations or have questions about the food.
Their site is: http://www.elranchogranderestaurant.com
Happy new year, and a warm welcome to Providence!
