Sophia and I ate lunch here on a pretty weekend day. This was actually the 2nd time we ate here…read more Back in 2017 or 2018, we had lunch with friends from a social group. So, let's find out how the visit went. There weren't a lot of people inside and there was only one waitress attending to tables. They have a bar area, tables and booths. We decided to eat near the entrance to their supermarket. It took a while for us to roam through the menu, but decided on what we wanted a few minutes after getting seates. I chose a 1/2 chicken with two sides (fried yucca and french fries). The Peruvian chicken was pretty good and flavorful. Both the fried yucca and fries could've been seasoned more, but were plentiful. I actually saved half of my meal for takeout and tasted well for dinner. Unfortunately, the bad part of our visit was the decor. The restaurant is located in a strip mall which has seen better days. Seats at the booth are torn up.....literally. The tables are outdated. The floor is in pretty bad shape, especially near the bar area. And in the bathroom, the paper towel dispenser was not connected to the wall and instead, laying on the floor. It's not comfortable washing your hands and then turning it sideways where you can get paper. I really don't mean to sound mean,, but the decor alone would turn folks away. It needs a big renovation all around. Hopefully, down the road, they can upgrade or they may become a thing of the past :(

We also got tres leches and I don't know about that one. I love tres leches and I think it may have been on the old side. Despite that, I'd still return because the food was worth it.

I think for a town like Richmond this is a pretty good place. It's by the airport. The chicken was…read moreactually really good. It's set up kind of like a Peruvian Chipotle like situation. I only tried the chicken and the cilantro rice if I had any feedback whatsoever maybe the rice could be a little more flavorful I've had Peruvian rice like this in other places and it was just more flavor to it other than that this is a solid four out of five especially for a place like Richmond.

​If you know, you know. Chicken Fiesta is easily one of my favorite spots in the city. I don't care…read morehow many fancy places open up; nothing hits quite like this. ​Why I Keep Coming Back: ​The Yucca: Honestly, if you're still ordering fries here, you're doing it wrong. Their yucca is elite; perfectly crispy on the outside, super soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious. Dip them in their yellow sauce! ​The Sauce Situation: I'm obsessed with their sauces. The yellow sauce is liquid gold, and the green sauce adds that perfect spicy bite. I always mix them because why not? ​The Horchata: I'm not even kidding, I actually dream about this horchata. It's ice-cold, perfectly creamy, and has just enough cinnamon to make it dangerous. ​It's fast, it's consistent, and it's a Richmond staple for a reason. 10/10, no notes.

I wish I would have gotten more over the shrimp tacos however the tacos weren't bad but didn't live up to other things. The shrimp were pretty big and grilled. Hands down going back for papusas. Best meal I've had locally in a min. The restaurant is very relaxed but it was also lunch time. No one greeted me. Had to walk to the bar for service and seat myself. Aside from the that the server was really nice. It's just an old school hole in the wall joint.

Amazing Latin American restaurant! Walking in you could feel the love radiating from every corner…read more It felt like the staff really cared for customers greeting everyone and making sure our food was good, even offering recommendations we wouldn't think of. My partner and I both got their steak offerings with myself getting a steak chimichanga and him getting a steak burrito. They were both oozing with flavor, we both made audible "yum" sounds as we took our first bites and then laughed at how this food made us have a cartoon moment. The fries and beans sides were also good although the fries were our favorite, the menu doesn't offer this as a side for meals but our server was able to make the substitution. We left feeling super lucky that lovely family restaurants like this exist and that we got to experience their food. Can't reccomend this spot enough, they truly care about what they are putting out and it shows. If thats not enough to convince you they also give you free chips and salsa!

The name of this market has been changed to: Cielito Lindo, which is a popular Spanish song and…read moreroughly translated means "Lovely Sweet One" although "cielo" means heaven and "lindo" means pretty - combined this phrase is typically a term of endearment. This tidy little Latino market carries many Hispanic, Mexican and South American products. Being of Cuban descent, I frequently head to this site for Goya products, including rice, black beans, plantains, Adobo spices, coffee, Maria cookies, fresh fruits and veggies, tomato items, empanada shells and my "never be without" Mojo Criollo Goya marinade. This marinade truly is the spice of life and I use it in many of my recipes! You will also find baked goods, household items, and sundries at this store. There's a deli/butcher in the back and a frozen food section. There's also a small restaurant and pupuseria serving Latin fare, from Cuban sandwiches to tacos to tostones to tamales to yucca to soups/sides and more. They serve Cuban coffee, horchata, Latin sodas, and other drinks and some tempting desserts, like flan and tres leches cake. For an inexpensive, quick bite in a casual, no nonsense eatery with lots of festive atmosphere, you've gotta try Cielito Lindo, it really is "a slice of heaven". And not to worry if you don't speak Spanish, some of the folks there speak English. ¡Provecho!

All of the locations seem to have a kiosk that you can order from and they will bring your food to the table.

The green beans are fresh and not canned, the house salad is good and the green rice is yummy. So far, I have not had a bad experience. The ambiance is casual. And, you can always find a seat.

The warm pita and tzatziki were delicious, and the white rice was even noteworthy. We both ate and still had leftovers. My spouse got the lamb gyro and cilantro rice and loved it.

LOVED this place. I never had peruvian chicken before, but I will definitely be coming back here…read more We ordered a family deal with 2 chickens and sides + soda. The chicken itself was not dry, it was very good texture and flavor. The sauces that come with it were also all very tasty. (There was a spicy red, a mild green, and a yellow) The green and red were probably my favorite. First time having Yuca Fries, they went well with the sauce! The string beans and steamed veggies were lowkey also really good and went well with the chicken, rice, and black beans. There was also the shrimp ceviche which was definitely different than what I normally get went well, when I wrapped all the stuff in a lettuce leaf(not sure if that's what you're supposed to do). It had shrimp, some kind of sweet potato(which was good!), and Peruvian corn which was super cool. Then there was the Bistec a lo Pobre, which had Carne Asada, with fries and rice and other stuff. Also very good. Then the plantains which were all very good, definitely added a nice sweet addition to the meal. To top it all off, there was a cookie I was not sure the name of but it was good LOL. Will definitely be coming back here to try more stuff. I will say, I think knowing spanish helps a lot if you come here
