>Mexican restaurant for my wife’s birthday, and around that serve both Mexican food and some American like burgers

If we were playing charades and the thing I pulled was "Chilis", this would be the way I start my clue.

Just to harvest downvotes I'll suggest that Tortilla Flats actually meets this criteria. If authentic Mexican is more important than the American stuff on the menu though you should look elsewhere.

I think Banditos in Cumberland has a burger on the menu

I think the real question here is, who's the picky eater? If it's your wife's Birthday and she wants mexican then someone's going to have to take a bullet on that choice. If she wants burgers, then burger it up somewhere.

I ate at Oz Tacos and Tequila recently and it was fantastic

Look up Tortilla Flatts on Hope Street in Providence. Fun place and is a mix of Mexican, Cajun/American. Parking can be a little tough though

Francesca’s on Pawtucket sounds like what you’re looking for

On the Border in Warwick has a grilled chicken and bacon sandwich, a steak sandwich, and also a burger. All of them come standard with various Mexican toppings, but you could certainly order them plain. They come with french fries, too. They also have a pizza, but I am not sure that you could "de-Mexicanize" it to make it more like an American pizza.

Most American shit I've ever seen. I want an authentic Mexican place that serves burgers....like wtf? That is an oxymoron. Go to Chili's or taco bell if you want the illusion of Mexican food

The most terrifying/least surprising thing about this thread is that it seems like this kind of place actually exists.

Sounds like you are looking for Applebees, Chilis, or Cheesecake Factory

Don’t let these harbingers of true Mexican “authenticity” get you down. In my experience, most places will have one or two items. Just pick a couple places of interest and check the menu. At least one will have something.

Heck, I own a Mexican restaurant. In Mexico. Where 99% of the clientele is Mexican. And we have a couple of things like chicken wings and onion rings. That are (gasp) requested by the patrons. And Mexicans also, believe it or not, enjoy a burger every now and again.

We're going to have to agree to disagree on that. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. Maybe for the tequila/mezcal options but the food didn't really do it for me.

Why did you even comment lol. I understand you like being an asshole, but it is easy to by-pass a comment if you cannot contribute to what is being asked.

This is why people nod not invite you to parties lol.
