Ada's Creations

From Small State's "Corrections & Amplifications" department (to borrow a great phrase from The Wall Street Journal): In my brief post about Latin American eats in Providence, R.I., I gave a thumbs up to Chilangos, on Manton Avenue; El Rancho Grande, on Plainfield Street; and Taqueria Pacifica, on Empire Street, inside the AS220 cafe. That Hall of Fame should also have included Ada's Creations, on Broad Street, and the Dominican restaurant, El Macuto, next door also owned by Ada Terrero. Ada's prepared foods section features meaty treats such as chuleta (grilled pork chops) and bistec salteado (sauteed steak with onions and peppers) served with arroz y habichuela (white rice and beans). At lunchtime, a feast will set you back less than $10.
