It has outdoor seating, that is now mostly covered & enclosed. The empanadas and arepas are to die for. SO juicy, flavorful, and overflowing! And don't sleep on the fresh juices.

Con Salsa was amazing! The food was absolutely delicious and I loved the variety they offer. I got…read morea steak bowl and added sweet plantains which really elevated the dish. What stole the show for me was their take on the dot cake trend with tres leches which was phenomenal. While the interior itself is a little small they also have an enclosed patio where you can enjoy your food complete with air conditioning. Overall definitely recommend Con Salsa and as a pro-tip don't skip out on desert here!

They have indoor seating with a very nice ambiance and usually you won't need a reservation, the service is always great!

We got a sampling of Arepas and I liked all of them except the cheese-filled one. The paella was yummy. The owners stopped by our table and we chatted with them for awhile. Our service was great.

One of my faves! I…read morehighly recommend arepa pabellón - shredded beef and arepa vegallón - avocado, plantain, beans, and cheese. Add tostones (they come with Cole slaw traditionally, so if you just want a sauce to dip into... specify that). If you have a sweet tooth, the churros never miss! You're going to love the vibe here. The service is always great and the staff is so sweet, very knowledgeable, & really patient with my children when they order in Spanish. I love that Richmond is getting more and more open to real food cuisines instead of those flavorless chains folks in this city love to cling too. I come here way too often... But that's OK because I love it.

We tried this place back in May 2025z Had heard about this place for so long since it made Yelp's…read moreTop 100 nationally a few years ago, so paid a visit on a Friday late afternoon. Service was super quick and the arepa was absolutely delicious - I got the avocado, beans, cheese arepa which had so much flavor. We also got a fresh mango juice which was a great pairing with the food. Would definitely have come here again to try more food when we are hungrier, and super sad to hear it has since closed.

The two empanadas and one pastele had a nice golden crisp with warm fillings, and the arepa was loaded with food! The drink was very thick and not too sweet, was perfect as someone who likes thick milkshakes (not that it was a milkshake). The green sauce they provide as well with the meals is addicting. Can't wait to keep going!

We have been left wondering how in the world this place isn't slam packed every second that they're…read moreopen. (The only reason must be because it's newer!) This was hands down the best Hispanic food we have ever had. I got some empanadas (best I've had anywhere) and my boyfriend got their Rincón burger (pictured below) - he said it was the best burger he's had anywhere, ever. If you're considering trying this place, absolutely do it. It's phenomenal. I can't say enough good things about it! Although I'm not typically a massive outdoor seating fan, their outdoor seating is so nice and I was a fan of the atmosphere!

Pretty good! The menu is extremely confusing though. I have had arepas before, but someone who has…read morenot would have a hard time understanding this menu. I still didn't know what my topping options were for them. Luckily after looking at the menu, their website, Yelp, and google images I was finally able to figure out what I wanted (too much work lol). I landed on the Pabellon Arepa which had shredded beef, black beans, cheese and plantains.... They deffffffffff needed to strain them black beans a lot more and distribute the ingredients more because it wasn't just messy, it was atomic bomb messy. I needed 100 napkins and a knife and fork to get through it. It was pretty tasty though! My hubs got the pulled pork with avocado, def not as messy and it was pretty good. We also got the cheese sticks appetizer, I would say this was just okay. It was their take on mozzarella sticks essentially. My friend ordered the Cachapas Richmonder.... It was SO SO GOOD! We all took a bite and were wowed by how good it was! She definitely won in the food ordering. I would get that next time and highly recommend it to anyone! Overall it was really good! We were all satisfied!

The papás chamos must have sugar in them, because I think I am only likely to get addicted to things that do. We got them with just chicken (no sausage) and I ate so much of them that I could eat only half of my Reina Pepiada, which was also a standout. I had the Guanábana to drink, and I would drive there just for this. They told me it was tart, but it was only just so. We know this fruit (if we know it at all, which I did not) as soursop. The service was good, and very friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. I'm lucky that I live less than 10 minutes away, so this will make a great place from which to order takeaway. Often.
