Alex took great care of us! The pink lemonade was refreshing after walking the Cliff Walk. We started with the crispy calamari. My husband had the Barbacoa Burrito and I had the carne asada tacos. We were ravenous after the long hike and everything was delicious!
We also had the apple pie burrito and it was great. Not too sweet and a perfect dessert. We also had a nice view out to the marina which we love as we are both sailors. Definitely will come back to Diego’s when we are back in the area!

Diego’s has a warm and welcoming staff, excellent margaritas and amazing fish tacos made with fresh cod. We also had appetizers and they were just as delicious as the tacos.

Diego’s food and team are fantastic. Leah got us through a reservation mixup with grace and professionalism. Christian delivered the Diego vibe and great drinks. Jack served-up a great dinner experience (and Jack’s mom knows what’s what on that menu). The Carne Asada Tacos were the best we’ve had – meat cooked perfect and spices lit-it-up just right. Thank you team – we’ll see you again soon!

I have been several times, generally really good. This time was no bueno. Nachos came without cheese and possible that a disgruntled cook threw an overwhelming amount of pickled onion and pork that looks like dog food. The food was a disgrace, consistency is key. Disappointing, however it makes sense when you sell out to Audrain (quencher)

As a tourist from boston with a girlfriend constantly asking to get mexican food this place was pretty good. We thought the menu and vibe was really cool and unique more than some of the normal spots near us. The service was great and our food came pretty quick. The drinks were stellar, and we both really enjoyed trying a few, especially any of their spicy drinks. We are suckers for spicy margaritas and they were very good here.
Where this place misses the mark is its seasoning unfortunately. Everything we ate looked great but tasted pretty bland unfortunately. “World famous guacamole” was definitely missing salt, and once you get past some of the garnish on the top it felt like we were just eating mashed avocado. I got a crunchwrap which the beef in it literally felt like i didn’t even have an ounce of seasoning at all and there was literally fat pouring out of it. It had me very disappointed as it easily could have been 5x better than the originator taco bell. This honestly had me wishing i had taco bell instead because it really tasted like nothing. My girlfriend who orders the same kind of tacos almost everytime also said hers was just bland as well.
I think there are a lot of wins here for this restaurant but you have to, have to, HAVE TO season your dishes people.

Food was glorious! We had burritos, nachos with guacamole and the fish tacos! All were super good. The filling in the burrito was generous and cleanly wrapped. Quite noisy though inside. Servers were very helpful and attentive.

Great local restaurant. Me and my friends go so often our waitress, Sadie, knows us. Sadie is great! She is very attentive and always friendly. They have a great taco Tuesday. I want to go and try their nacho Thursday. Think Mexican food with a twist. Definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the area.

Diego’s in Newport, RI is a must-visit for anyone who loves bold flavors and a killer atmosphere. Combining authentic Mexican cuisine with a laid-back punk rock vibe, this spot delivers not just great food, but a whole experience.
The tacos are the real standout — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Whether you go for the classic carne asada, the crispy fish, or one of their creative veggie options, every bite hits the spot. Pair them with one of their house-made hot sauces for an extra kick.
Another can’t-miss dish is the chicken tortilla soup — it’s rich, hearty, and packed with just the right amount of spice. Topped with crunchy tortilla strips and fresh avocado, it’s pure comfort in a bowl.
On top of the amazing food, the punk rock decor, fun staff, and killer soundtrack make Diego’s feel unique and full of energy. It’s the perfect place to grab a casual meal with friends or fuel up after a day exploring Newport. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Diego’s is one of those spots you’ll want to come back to again and again.

This place would get 5 stars only if we didn’t have to wait 15 mins to get a table while the place wasn’t packed! We had made a reservation, even though we didn’t need one. People arriving after us got tables faster!
However the lady who was serving our table was very nice, 5 stars for her service!
Food – we got the fried tofu tacos from the Vegan menu. Veggie nachos & tofu burrito & a Marg. It was all good. Loved the nachos.

Kara was an absolutely phenomenal waitress and made our experience unforgettable. We traveled all the way from Alabama to Rhode Island to celebrate my little sister’s OCS graduation, and Kara’s kindness and attentiveness truly stood out.
She was warm, patient, and incredibly helpful, checking on us regularly without ever being intrusive. You could tell she genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience, which meant a lot to us while we were away from home celebrating such a big milestone.
Because of Kara, our time in Rhode Island was even more special. She represents excellent service and hospitality, and we’re so grateful she was our waitress. If you’re lucky enough to have Kara take care of you, you’re in great hands.
