This seemed like any little restaurant, except that the menu was very ambitious. However, it was a serious one, and four people had four very different (even ethnicity) fabulous dinners. I was hungry for a good steak, and got two big thick tenderloins, rare as I'd asked, smothered in very individually different local mushrooms in an excellent cream sauce. The... More

We first ate here in 2008 and have dreamed of going back since. My dream came true in January 2013 and I was not disappointed. Javier greeted us with warmth and recognition. The ambience and decor is funky & laid back, the service excellent and the creative delicious food prepared by Paco a foodie's dream. The menu is interesting as... More

Absolutely the very best! This place is everything you would expect of a truly fine dining experience in any major north American urban centre. Great service, fun decor and exquisite food. Not your basic Mexican fare - a bit pricier than typico (dinner for two with drinks, entres, shared appy & desert about $50 us.) but a complimentary baileys style... More

A real delight with great food, a kitsch but excellently blending decor and the friendliest owners. If you want to spoil yourself with some real top notch food, on a candlelit dinner, place a booking at La Providencia.

La Providencia is truly a delight from the personal attention one receives upon entering, the decor/ambiance and the food. I have dined there many times and have always been pleased with the experience. Host Javier greets each and every diner with a genuine warmth. After you are settled in the wait staff cares for you with just enough attention without... More

Paco and Javier will never cease to amaze me. They turn out first class food and service where you would least expect it. Zipolite is generally a beach bum kind of place, but just when you think you have eaten your last taco off a plastic plate and are looking for real food, Provedencia is what you are looking for.
