Food was tasty and well prepared. I chose the Chicken Enchiladas - three small enchiladas served with rice and refried beans. Can't comment on the rice since I requested a double order of beans. Enchiladas had a generous amount of chicken filling and beans were tasty. Thought the Enchiladas were small but that appears to be the norm nowadays...I recall when they were as large as the plate, lol. Hubs chose a Burrito which he thought was excellent. The Burrito didn't come with a side. Complimentary salsa and chips are served when patrons are seated. They only offer one spicy version of salsa...would have liked a milder version. When asked, the server offered tomato sauce as an option. Should also have a mild sauce option for enchiladas....even the "mild" one recommended was spicy. Chose a Coconut Flan for dessert...delicious but overpriced at $7....my meal was only $12. Service was good. Restaurant is very small, perhaps 10 - 15 tables and a few seats at the bar. It was packed with people waiting by the time we left. Parking is on street and scarce. They're opening another location on the east side of Providence which, according to the server, will have more upscale food.

We came down from Boston and had dinner here before Riverfire on a Saturday night. We started with a selection of a dozen local oysters that turned out to be a selection of one type of local oyster because (I assume) they ran out of some oysters. The oysters were fresh but had none of their liquor in the shell, which is off-putting and just sloppy shucking. The meat and cheese plate had some tasty chorizo, Serrano ham, a few small slices of two different cheeses and oddly, fried plantain strips and a few rock-hard bread slices so hard I could barely chew them. We used most of them in the roasted shrimp in garlic and pepper sauce which was tasty but had only five small shrimps. Meatballs in a smokey sauce were again tasty but I found the BBQ like sauce a little strange in a Latin-inspired tapa dish. The beer selection is good and the cocktails are well made. All in all, Red Fin wasn't bad. the bill for three beers, a cocktail and four tapas came to $133 pre tax and tip so Red Fin ain't cheap. The back room was crowded and really noisy and we were relived to be in the front room at the bar. As you can tell, I was not blown away by Red Fin. I've had tapas at places like Toro in Boston and Red Fin is simply not in that class of tapas bar. I think I would be giving Red Fin a bit more slack if the bill were not so large given the level of execution of the dishes.

Service slow, very inconsistent portions between people ordering the same items, expensive for what it is. Basically frozen in a bag ingredients reheated with minimal seasonings. Seafood mix for example for fajitas is just a frozen bag mix from BJS. Very disappointing. More authentic food at taco bell.
