There's an interesting Mexican fusion thing going on at Diego's. The menu offerings are eclectic. I stuck to some of the basics. Guacamole which was a generous amount, fresh chips, and I sprung for a side of salsa fresca which tasted fresh and was a nice compliment to the guacamole. I also got grilled cod tacos which were excellent. The... More

My wife and I recently ate at Diego's on Bowen's Wharf because we wanted to eat outside. We live in RI, so we knew going in that everything on Bowen's is overpriced, but we decided to give it a try anyway. The atosphere is very nice and the patio seating is recommended. However, our table was situation on a slanted... More

My wife and I were visiting Newport RI for a few days. Tripped over this place when walking through the wharf and wanted to give it a try. The Nachos we had as an app was great and the the main courses were even better. It was so good, we decided to come back there again the next day for... More

This is a perfect spot to have great food and enjoy a drink. The outside seating was great and the tacos (we had the fish and pork) were some if the best I've ever had. If you want a refreshing drink try the Sangria - delicious.

I came here by myself with my one year old and what a great time we had! We ate outside on the patio which was beautiful an convenient because it is hard to dine with a toddler. I do not usually like Spanish food but ended up going here because there wasn't much of a wait. I ordered the lobster... More

Like many places in Newport, RI, Diego's brings lots of personality from the building itself to the funky dishes and drinks. I work on the island so we are always trying to find places for lunch and we always seem to head back to Diego's time and time again.

We needed to find a quick place for an early dinner - Diego's fit the bill. I can't say enough about the food, it was excellent. Hubby and I had fish tacos; it is served with lettuce and not the usual slaw. My family also said their food was very good but it is sooooo loud you can't hear each... More

I visited Diego's with 2 friends for dinner. The waitress was unapologetically slow. We ordered guacolamole as an app and it came out after our dinner. She never acknowledged the fact that we already had our meals. We gave Deigo's another try for brunch thinking it was the particular server but we waited at our table for 20 minutes when... More

We stumbled upon Diegos while walking around Newport and were pleasantly surprised. We had a late breakfast/brunch. My husband had a breakfast burrito with chourico and black beans which he loved. I had the salmon quesadilla which was very good. Definitely worth the visit..

I have been remiss in not reviewing this place sooner. It's a gem. Menu is inspired, just different enough to be interesting. All food is fresh and delicious. Outdoor seating was very nice. Service was adequate. The only slight negative was the music was too loud, but it was turned down when I asked about it. How nice! Go hungry... More
