Best Mexican food around. The food is authentic and delicious. The prices are also the best in town.

We arrived kind of late and didn't really think we would be able to get served but we were. Greeter was very professional. All diners were spaced out well. Waiter was quick, took drink order then food. I swear the food was 2 us in 15 minutes. It was AWESOME.We Everything tasted so fresh and it was pipping hot. (CAUTION DON'T TOUCH THE PLATE). It was date night and we will be going back! read more

Underwhelming food. I live in California so maybe my bar is a little high but the food was not of quality. The service matches the subpar food. Ramon was my server came in around 3 and was seated. I waited and had to flag down the host for water refill as Ramon seemed busy tending to the 2 tables in the restaurant. When my water was brought back I asked the host to ask him for my receipt as I wasn't getting tended to so I wanted to pay for my food . He assured me and as he was assuring me Ramon came up and agreed as he told him in front of me. After about ten minutes I walked up to the manager and expressed I didn't get my check and had told 2 people 2 times. I explained I used to be a server therefore I am very understanding however the service was unacceptable. Very dismissive he kept assuring me it wasn't like him and never apologized for the service I received instead he kept challenging my events even noting Ramon told him I was on the phone so he didn't check on me. Instead of just apologizing for my experience the manager indirectly invalidated my experience as well as the chain of events . If you are looking for authentic Mexican cuisine u will be disappointed. It is mediocre at absolute best read more

Voted Number one Mexican restaurant for what.... To add too my Sunday menu I ordered (3) chicken tamales takeouts and they where horrible!!! How does a Mexican restaurant make tamale's with out corn masa!!! The tamales tasted like the where in-cased with potatoes and very little chicken inside! We never go to this restaurant, and now I know why! A little shy of 40.00 don't get tamales!!!! read more

Five stars for the bar. One star for the kitchen. The staff is attentive, especially at the bar. The michelada's are darn good, especially when ordered spicy. The a-typical bar items I've order have all be done well. The food is really disappointing however. The Pastor is unlike any I've head anywhere on earth: really perplexing. The fajitas are flavorless. The chips are excellent. read more

Very fast and quality service. Our waiter was very quick and intelligent, extended our happy hour past the time so we could enjoy our experience better. Prices were good however food was moderate. Was not bad by any means but lacked a certain spice. Would recommend a visit. read more

Place is busy. When I got there, I thought that was a good sign. Staff not overly friendly but that's ok. I ordered off the menu California burrito which looked like it was soaked in cheese. I love cheese.. the one I got was minimal cheese. I also give restaurants that don't offer Coke products at best a 4. Can't stand that Pepsi crap. I swear it makes food taste worse. Anyway, I ordered this take burrito but it was be somewhat dry without much seasoning of the meat. so I did some salt and the hot sauce that was available at the table and made it more palatable. read more

Supporting our favorite local Mexico Restaurant. Even with the rain and pandemic, the food is always fresh and delicious.

The customer service was great. I came with a very large party of my co-workers. There were eleven of us total. We had no issues and we were checked on numerous times in case we needed refills or wanted to order another drink. They continuously filled our chips and salsa, despite the fact that only half of us ordered food. We stayed even a little after they closed. I was very happy with the service & our manager seemed happy with the price of the entire bill. read more

Its Virginia Mexican food for sure. Meaning, its alot of meat, and beans and veggies smothered in cheese and sauces (mostly cheese). Go see G at the bar, he's fantastic! Service can otherwise be spotty with servers disappearing for extended periods of time. Food quality is consistent. read more

Caveat I have eaten at Mexico for years. The one in Stratford Hills & then this one in East Henrico Airport Area. The staff is fantastic. Good food, & that alone is worth it's weight in gold. My only complaint is I can't read the new menu, mainly bright primary colors. Beautiful on the wall and Probably not an issue when I was 25, but add 26 years.... My poor old eyes couldn't find my favorite dishes. I even had my cheaters. The prices reflect the economy. Next time maybe we won't have booth on top of kitchen and I can ask a couple questions without yelling. Staff is very accommodating, so this was more my issue than theirs!! Of course I will return!! read more

Love this restaurant! Great service, great food. We've mostly ordered takeout and have dined in a couple times in the past few years. Every time we're satisfied with our meals-Everything on the menu is good but what really makes this restaurant awesome is the staff. They are friendly, professional, attentive, and exude a genuine happiness. We're always happy to support this business. read more

So tried this place again only because co-workers were ordering here. And yet again the food was tasteless and dry. I wanted to like it, but the dish I got was the Tampico Salad. It's listed in the menu with avocado slices, there was one slice. Barely any lettuce and the 2 extremely thin chicken breasts were dry this time at least this go round they weren't burnt. Sorry to say I won't be back to this restaurant again. read more

I've yet to have a bad experience here. The food is always delicious, the waiters are always polite and attentive. They cater to my family's picky eaters, have reasonably priced food, and faster sit down service than you would normally get anywhere else. Between all that and the delicious food, it's always my go to restaurant. 10/10 recommend! read more

Location close to the airport and got crowded quick during dinner time. Food and service were really good with a couple of special dishes. Highly recommend. read more

What a great find! Stumbled upon this restaurant and had lunch and it was amazing! I had the Oaxaca BTO Burrito Bowl and it completely exceeded expectations! My colleague got Swiss Enchiladas and they were delicious too. Guacamole and salsa also delicious. Stop by and you will be pleased!! read more

Solid and well priced Mexican food. We came in on a Saturday a little before 7pm for a party of 3 and were seated immediately. Portions are huge, service is great and speedy, and the food was delicious. There's plenty of parking in the lot and the frozen margaritas are a must order! read more

Love this location! Every time I go, which I try to since I work in the area, the service is great and so is the food! I always get the fried chimichanga dish for lunch or dinner and it's delicious. I really like that you get rice and beans instead of one or the other. I also love their chips and salsa. Very good! Wait staff are so friendly and they really take care of you! Go, you won't be disappointed! Plus, it's very reasonable priced! read more

Nice patio seating. Swiss enchilada was excellent. Large portions. Friendly staff. The tortilla chips were warm and fresh and salsas were excellent. My large Margarita was excellent as well. I will Be going back for sure. read more

We were told it was the best Mexican place! WOW - if this is the best I'd hate to go anywhere else. Though it wasn't the best, if it is an example of the best - then I would only come here as the rest would not be good at all! Service and selection was good - but my steak was a bit tough and I didn't get much to go into my fajita! read more

Not only was the food only a notch above gross, but we tried to pay with our debit card and after waiting for about 20 minutes, we found our waiter and he said there machine was down. So we paid in cash. A half hour later we got a call from the bank saying that the mexico restaurant tried to charge our card over 30 times for different amounts totaling over $3000. The bank said they would cancel the charges and press charges against the restaurant. NEVER EAT HERE! read more

I'm a Texan. I was born in Texas; I grew up in Texas; I live in Texas, today. If you were to blindfold me, transport me to this joint, put a plate in front of me and hand me a fork, I wouldn't be able to tell you I wasn't sitting in front of an authentic plate of TexMex food. The ingredients are fresh; the margarita mix, for all practical purposes, appears to be scratch-made, and the food is pitch-perfect. On landing at RIC-- and prior to departing, so two visits in the course of a week-- I couldn't have asked for better food, a more authentic preparation or better, more attentive service. If you're a border state expatriate or someone who merely wants to know what real TexMex food tastes like (the non-Chilis restaurant version), you can't go wrong here. Will be back on our yearly excursions into Richmond and on to Virginia Beach. Thanks for making the food memorable. read more

So this is the second Mexico location that I've visited and both times I've have been disrespected. The first location on Mechanicsville turnpike, the waitress had all the smiles and patience in the world for every other table but when she got to our table she all but through the food down and almost ran away. She barely came back to give us our checks, second location on Williamsburg road sat us behind another black couple who was already there before we arrived. Mind you, we were the only two black tables in the entire restaurant. The waitress asked us were we related and were we together. We explained multiple times that we did not know them. He stood at the table and laughed. And pointed. So you do the math what that meant.... read more

Never seen a ranch dip with the chips upon sitting down. Some people may like it. The tortilla used in the chicken flauta was awesome. The chicken itself was ok but in my opinion could of used more flavor. Fast and friendly service and the place seems to be a local favorite. read more

We went on Friday. We ordered taco, burrito & chili with chicken but we got beef when we asked to change they changed instead of new plate we got same plate with food with chicken but we saw beef around my plate ( they did't cook new one just replace beef with chicken ). In our food we no cheese. Worse experience ever I will Never go again. read more

This is by far the best Mexican food I have had since moving to the east coast from LA. Once taking a seat at the bar, I was promptly served a water and fresh chips and salsa. To me, the chips and salsa make or break a Mexican food restaurant. These chips were delicious. Served hot and crispy they had an excellent corn flavor. The salsa was fresh made with a little spicy kick. I ordered a combo with one of my favorite items; a chicken enchilada mole poblano. This was by far one of the best moles I have had (I say that because my Mother doesn't read Yelp). The combo came with 2 of these large enchiladas and a large taco. At $7.95 you couldn't ask for a better value. I left completely stuffed like a chimichanga! They got the extra stars for the combination of excellent food, excellent service accompanied by an excellent value. read more

Good food and snappy service at the bar even on a crowded night. Happy hour goes 'til 8 and has some great deals. The one not-so-good piece was cheap house margaritas that are sugary crap, though better drinks are always available at reasonable prices. read more

Mexico Restaurant is a total gem. My family has been eating at the Sandston location since it first opened in the early 1990s. The food is authentic, (amazingly) fast, cheap and no-nonsense. The wait staff is personable and responsive. The margaritas are tasty and just the right price. The chips and salsa are magnificent. Don't forget to order the cheese dip. While dinner is a great value, it's the lunch that is a total steal. Lunch Special #8 is dynamite - a chicken burrito and chicken enchilada topped with mole poblano sauce and cheese. I'm also a big fan of the Enchiladas Verdes and Enchiladas del Pueblo (potato enchiladas with onions, tomatoes, and cheese) in the extremely rare instances I want to go vegetarian. Though I'm particularly enthusiastic about the enchilada dishes the tacos, fajitas, taquitos, chile rellenos, and taco salad are all outstanding as well. If you are staying at one of the hotels by the airport or live in the East End, do not miss this place! read more

I was so disappointed with my recent visit to Mexico Restaurant. Our server was very rude. I had ordered bean nachos with only lettuce and tomato. The food was brought out to be wrong twice. Each time it was incorrect, the server grew more and more agitated which is understandable. But what is not understandable, is that the agitation that the server had was being taken out on me and my mom. The server would go to his other tables and ask if everything was okay but would just pass by our table without uttering a word. To make matters worse, he brings the bill and asks if we are ready to pay now. We said we needed a minute to review the bill. He proceeds to storm off. He comes back and we have questions. He answers the question but had a nasty way about it. At the end, the cashier offers us coupons but I am saying (in my head), do you think I will actually return? It was an over all a bad experience and will definitely not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I love Mexico but today was the worst experience I had and I don't think I want to go back. I decided to go and grab a quick lunch to dine in and I was greeted as though I was bothering him. While I seated quickly at the back of the building, I had to wait about 20 mins before someone even notice I was back there with no drank. The young lady notice once the other party left and decided to come and get my order. That was the last I seen of anyone. So I decided to go and pay and because no one gave me a ticket, I just went to told him what I got. If I wanted too I could've walked out without paying but I'm a honest guy. I don't do this allot but I'm honestly very disappointed. read more

Service was very quick, decor was nice, but our waiter was surly. The food was terrible - the chips they put on the table were overcooked and plain, the salsa was way too spicy without much other flavor, the white sauce they put on the table for the chips was sweet and strange, and our dinners (the Burrito Deluxe and the California Burrito with steak) were EXTREMELY bland. What I would call Mexican food for old white people with finicky digestive systems. I honestly would've been better off going to Taco Bell or Qdoba. read more

Best Mexican restaurant and best Mexico location!! Great staff and even better food. Mexico never lets us down!!

Restaurant was clean and inviting when walking in. Employees were friendly and moved quick. Excellent customer service. Food and drinks arrived in less than 5 minutes. Rice was kind of dry. The food was good and favorable but made us sick afterwards :/. The Virgin Strawberry Margarita was on point! read more

What you see is the Tequila Lime Chicken salad. Horrible just horrible!!! That is water from the salad... I guess they didn't allow the water to drain. They gave a small cap of dressing that tasted horrible so I added salsa to give flavor to the bland chicken...EPIC FAIL! In the trash it went!! read more

This is our go to Mexico restaurant being on the east end of town. Sometimes when we are in the mood for this type of traditional style Mexican restaurant - one of us will declare - airport Mexico! - and off we go. I alway get the same thing - chicken quesadilla and cheese enchilada combo. Always good. The food comes out in 2 seconds so that probably means it is just sitting back there but who cares it is always good. Nothing fancy or unique here just quality flavor and service. If you want crazy delicious tacos - go to Tio Pablo in Shockoe Bottom! read more

Margarita was delicious. Chips and salsa were perfect and given to me about 10 seconds after I sat down. Accompanied by a type of ranch dressing dip? That was new to me but helped cool the spicy salsa and was tasty. I ordered tacos de calle, steak was tender and plentiful. Really enjoyed the extras that helped build up the tacos, pinto beans with queso fresco and pico and a smooth salsa (chipotle?). I also ordered one chilles rellano, cheese stuffed, and it was perfect. My only complaint, and I saw it in some other reviews, is about how fast the service is. I came here to get out of the hotel and relax a bit but I did not really have time because the food came out close to 2 minutes after I ordered. I would definitely come again but I would order smaller items from the menu and stagger the times that I place an order. read more

My husband and I have been going to Mexico in the East End regularly for years (and in his case decades). Although it is not an upscale restaurant, it delivers exactly what you are looking for in a Mexican Restaurant. Good food at a good price in a relaxed environment that you can bring the family to and not get dressed up for. The food is always good, the drinks are not the best but decent, it is clean, the service is prompt and courteous but not fussy, they get my "special order" right, and the manager makes it a point to personally greet us and remember us. I recently went to another Mexican joint in the East End (sorry I cheated!) and while the margarita was better and the decorations were nicer, the service and cleanliness were clearly lacking. It is definitely worth it to me to travel the longer distance to Mexico. read more

I've been coming here since I was little. The service is amazing, the food is fresh and gets to you fast, the people are friendly, and the chips and cool white sauce are to die for! They have Taco Tuesday every week but it's always packed then so we typically come other times during the week. They also have happy hour from 3-8, and their daquiris and margaritas are very good. read more
