Update! Absolutely the best margaritas in the greater Richmond area. Modesto is the margarita savant! This is the fresh margarita (margarita fresca) fresh squeezed citrus with a dark tequila mixed with magic. Gelicio and Martin are the staples of the restaurant. You must come to Short Pump for this one! I love their Birria tacos, fajitas, and for a simple day their Al carte tacos. The service here is the best in town because they make it a point to get to know you and they do their best to know your favorites. This place is very clean and the first thing I do is wash my hands to see the condition of the bathroom. The bathroom is clean and always stacked. The glasses and plates are always clean as expected. And the environment is as clean as you can get it. I will definitely come back and I will definitely have another margarita read more

Ridgefield Parkway Hardly any Steak in the Burrito Fajitas and in the Burrito a la Mexicana, we ordered 2. The steak that was in these menu items was mostly grizzle. Not worth it!!! Sorry read more

The best hot hot salsa I ever had! I can't wait to go back and may see if I can buy some just to take home!

The food here is Amazing!!! The steak/chorizo tacos (Very spicy, but delicious) is my go to order.

The fajita salad is terrible! No greens were present. No flavor . Simply terrible.

The food was authentic and delicious and the service excellent! Had the Texanos Goditas which have grilled shrimp steak and chicken . Yum!

Decided to try this place instead of going to our regular Mexican food spot. We sat outside and our server was nice but was kind of one of those servers that moves too quickly and is gone before you can ask for anything. I ordered the enchiladas super rancheras and my wife ordered a shrimp fajita. The fajita was amazing but my order came out wrong and was only 2 enchiladas, so I let the waiter know and he ended up bringing me another plate that was also missing an enchilada. I didn't want to wait again for a third plate so I just ate it. The salsa was pretty good here but the white sauce and the queso dip were way too runny which made a mess. The food here is pretty good but it'll probably be a little while before I decide to come back. read more

My kiddo had a birthday party nearby and I wanted to grab lunch instead of waiting there. I ordered the lunch chicken fajita burrito with rice and black beans and it was absolutely delicious, as were my hot chips and salsa and crema blanco. Very friendly waiter and basically had the place to myself - definitely recommend. Thank you for the hospitality! The interior is beautiful, as well. read more

The food lacked flavor . I'm Mexican so I have no idea why other people said this is a must eat at Mexican restaurant. I wouldn't go back. Customer service was good read more

Food was really good! Chips, salsa and some ranch like dipping sauce to start. Had a burrito and Arroz Con Pollo. Our waiter was nice and brought out extra salsa and tortillas. read more

Take out order. Food was ready in a hurry and was hot. Enchilada del mer, seafood was bland, but good. Enchilada was a soggy mess. Carne asada, bland meat. Average sides. There wasn't one item in either dish that we said was delicious. Not a good value. Probably won't order from them again. read more

unfortunately, I was fairly disappointed by my experience here. The waiters and staff were very polite. And the service was extremely fast. We ordered vegetarian tacos and tacos El Pastor. The vegetarian tacos had essentially zero flavor. It was cold, which I think it's supposed to be cold but still there was nothing to it. We had to add a lot of spice and various things. Fine I don't think you should judge a Mexican restaurant based on a vegetarian taco so let's look at some of the other things. The Al Pastor was solid, but not the best I've ever had. El Chito is Miles ahead of this place in terms of authenticity and flavor of the taco. Lastly, we got a hibiscus tea otherwise known as Jamaica I typically get this at any Mexican restaurant I get because it's a delicious tangy but sweet drink. This basically tasted like sugar water. Very disappointing. Overall, I think, and I mean no offense by this, this is meant for fairly bland, white people. People without taste buds. I think it's meant for people who love taco Tuesday and margaritas and Jimmy Buffett. Not for authentic Mexican food. read more

Great food! Great staff! Better drinks! Happy hour is where it's at! A true tasty treat read more

Mi Jalisco Mexican Restaurant - Blue Motorcycle - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

The service: A- The food: A+ The price: A+ I've been struggling to find a really good taco salad and Mi Jalisco did not disappoint. The lunch portion was the perfect amount. They were more than happy to substitute the beans for rice. My husband had the dinner portion Fajita Burrito and he said it's the best he's ever had. The food was out to the table within 10 minutes of ordering. The white sauce was SO good. The only reason service got an A- was because our server never came back. We finally flagged someone down to get some more chips/dip and someone else brought the check. Maybe shift change? We will definitely be back!! read more

You know it's a good cantina when you dig into your food before you can take a photo! (Major Yelp faux pas!) I did get one of the festive and colorful interior though! What a fun, vibrant atmosphere! I met my friends here and had high expectations since I love their location in Bellevue. I wasn't disappointed. The tortilla chips, salsa, ranch dip and queso dip kept on coming as we perused the menu, waiting for one more in our party, and ordered draaaanks! My bestie got a jumbo margarita (okay more than one!), and her hubby got a Corona, I picked the mini Coronita... (I'm a lightweight!) The mood was dynamic, Mexican music in the background, brightly decorated booths, Spanish tile, we were having a blast! And that's before the food came! My bestie and I got the corn tortilla carnitas tacos with onion, cilantro and cheese, her hubby got the gorditas and it was ALL GOOD! The carnitas weren't the best I've ever had, but they were satisfying! The presentation was appealing! As far as the service went, it was fair, a tad slow. The place wasn't too busy, Covid kept the seating separated and it was clean and sanitized. I would most definitely go back...I'd like to sample several other entrées to see how they stack up to my favorite Mexican spot! I'll keep you posted and remember to take pics next time! read more

Mi Jalisco Mexican Restaurant - a large mural of jesus - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I tried Mi Jalisco on happenstance after a workout at the Crunch Fitness next door. We ordered our food online around 8pm on a Sunday night, and it was ready in about 10 minutes. I walked in to pick it up and was greeted immediately by kind staff. When I checked my order, I realized they'd forgotten a quesadilla, which they quickly remedied in under 5 minutes with many apologies. The food was so good, we ended up eating half of it before we even got home! I feel like I can't find Mexican food that's reliable, and this quickly went to the top of my list. I'll eat inside next time to enjoy their happy hour and cute decor! read more

It has the glimmer of good food but it missed the mark. Orders wrong missing items and overcooked, and I mean dryyyyy chicken. We ordered chicken avocado tacos with a side of pico, veggie burrito and enchiladas mexicanas, which is three chicken enchiladas but they incorrectly sent one cheese, one chicken and one beef, and no beans and rice. The veggie burrito was missing the Spanish rice. The chicken avocado tacos would have been good had the meat been succulent. It was more on the verge of being jerky. I'm hoping this was an anomaly and that they were just having a bad day. I should also mention there are no chips and salsa included, so if you want some you have to order and pay for it. read more

Food was decent at Mi Jalisco! Not the best Mexican food but far from the worst! The rice and beans on the side are yummy and the best thing was the guac!! We would definitely come here again. 7/10 - Enchilada 7/10 - Guadalajara Special (I enjoyed the taquitos and chicken on the nachos but didn't love the tamale) 7.5/10 - Burrito California (solid but nothing too special) 8/10 - Guacamole read more

This place doesn't look like much from the outside, especially when compared to its other locations here in RVA. However, the food is superb and the staff was Uber friendly. I came in for lunch and had a taco salad with veggies. Only thing I could complain about is that there wasn't a lot of lettuce in my salad but it was cheesy bean goodness in a bowl. I thought it was really cute that when I ordered a side of cheese it came in a mini taco bowl- can you say adorable? They also have new happy hour specials and a great reduced price lunch menu. Such a large selection that I'm not including menu pictures- go to the website it's there. Happy Hour Specials: Monday- $3 margarita Tuesday- $5 rails Wednesday- $5 nachos Thursday- $6 fancy margarita Friday- nothing lol For real- solid Mexican food for the price. Come here to eat. read more

This place makes to go orders like its a child order. I gave them more the 1 chance. Same results. I DO NOT recommend ordering out.

Valpak for the win y'all! This gem of a Mexican restaurant...why didn't I know before today? Well I'm a creature of habit so I generally go to the places I like for certain things! But hunny this place did not disappoint! My daughter treated (she's so sweet)! The menu is massive but they offer all the favs to include birria! We opted for Steak Mexicano and Pollo Feliz which were accompanied by warm flour tortillas, rice and beans! If you're in the area do yourself a favor and check them out! Going back for HH soon! Yummers! read more

Went here with my daughter while in Richmond for a swim meet. The horchata was great and now my 9 yo is hooked. Chips were nice and fresh, salsa was very flavorful and the queso was some of the best! White sauce was a little too much like ranch dressing but it's ok. My daughter got the Arroz con Pollo and it was a huge hit with her, she must have inherited my taste buds 'cause I totally agree. I got the birria tacos and was a little disappointed, they were a little soggy and falling apart as I tried to dip in the consomme. The meat was on the bland side and the texture was off. Service was fast, prices were fair and Waitstaff was very friendly. The dinning room was very colorful and clean. Would go back but not for birria. Should've got the carne asada fries, lol. read more

My friend in Ashland has a Mi Jalisco near her house where I have eaten with her before and thought it pretty good. So when I saw one was near my house now, I hoped they were one and the same and decided to order (placed through GrubHub). DH opted for a combo platter (one with a chili relleno, his favorite) and ordered the carnitas. My confirmation said my order would be delivered within 30 minutes. My order arrived in about 25 minutes with complimentary chips and 2 kinds of salsa. DH is kind of tough on salsa since he makes his own. He really liked theirs, saying it had a nice kick to it. He liked his combo platter. I enjoyed my carnitas, which was a hearty serving. Enough for me to have lunch the next day. Quick and pretty delicious. Even with GrubHub, the price was pretty reasonable. I look forward to dining in soon. read more

This place is wonderful I had the burrito Carlito and my daughter had the Arrozo com-polo (Sorry for the spelling) I also had a mango slush margarita (damn delicious). Our waiter was so pleasant and courteous. Our food was just as delicious and so filling. I had plenty leftovers because I filled up on chips and salsa and they also serve the white sauce with the salsa, we also had a tomatillo sauce (has some kick) but it was yummy also. Definitely will come back read more

Food was disappointing. I ordered the quesabirra tacos and could only eat 1. From looking at the beef I could tell it was old and was just reheated. The tortillas were old too because the whole taco fell apart from trying to eat it. The flavor was different from other quesabirras I've had too. Do not recommend! If you want Mexican food in short pump it's safer to go with Chipotle. read more

Mi Jalisco Mexican Restaurant - Burrito Tampico - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This place ROCKS! It is amazing food with great prices. They have a vegetable taco salad with squash and zucchini with the basics of lettuce, tomato, sour cream and guac (beans as well but I don't eat them so they took them and the mushrooms out for me) for less than $10. Their queso with mexican sausage and it came out bubbling and lots of meat; knock your socks off good. As for COVID prep, tables are more than 6 feet apart, all staff are wearing masks (properly, not as chin straps) and very clean. Definitely a do again place? read more

Their "white salsa" is literally the reason I have not given up on life yet. This sauce is better than any antidepressant I've ever taken. Four bucks gets you a weeks worth of sauce and a giant bag of chips. If I was homeless, I'd live solely off of this sauce if I could make four bucks a day. Thank you, mi jalisco, for your service to the people of the greater Richmond area. read more
