I met a friend at Casa Amigos for lunch. Before going, I checked with a few friends who live in…read moreBerea and they said that it was their favorite Mexican restaurant in Berea. I arrived at 11:30 (they open at 11:00) and the restaurant was already busy. As with most Mexican restaurants, the lunch started off with complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were a little disappointing and stale. I was expecting fresh chips (since it was 30 minutes after opening), and I believe that they were left over from the previous evening. The salsa was very good and flavorful. I had the Pollo Casa Amigos ($12.99) from the lunch menu (grilled chicken and California vegetables on a bed of rice with cheese sauce). There was a very generous amount of chicken. The meal was very good. Full of flavor. Vegetables were cooked perfectly. I also ordered a side of fresh jalapeño peppers (fried). The fried fresh jalapeños were very good. As with all jalapeños, some are hot, some are not (which the restaurant has no control over). These were not as hot as I hoped, but again, this is not the fault of the restaurant, just an observation. Whenever I am in the Berea area and wanting Mexican food, I would definitely eat here again, but it's your typical Mexican restaurant. The only reason for the 4 star rating is due to the chips being stale. Other than that, definitely worth a stop!

The interior is clean and minimal but they squeeze in a full bar and a replica of their first food truck where it all began. They have a few dishes that sell out on the daily. Everything is made fresh to order. They have a salsa bar to accompany your food orders. This establishment is run by folk who love what they are doing and it shows. Also, the price points are awesome, well below any other Mexican restaurant, along with better tasting food. It's a win-win. Service was SUPER fast but they weren't very busy while we were there. It's not a fancy date night place but it's a delicious date night place! Extra points for an extremely clean bathroom.

They bring out chips to your table and you choose your own toppings/sauces from the Salsa Bar. I had the Birria Especial and it was delicious. Probably the best I have had in our area. My wife had two Beef Enchiladas. Our daughter had the Arroz Con Pollo and her friend had two Beef Tacos. The service was very slow the entire time we were there. It was not that crowded when we were there so we couldn't figure out if our server was really slow or the kitchen was backed up. We will give it another try but they do need to work on their service times.

Taking the 30 seconds to griddle the tortillas makes all the difference. The service was exceptional and gracious! We will be back much sooner this time around.

We moved down here from IL and we were looking for a good local Mexican restaurant. There are alot…read moreto choose from in Richmond. Unfortunately, even though this place always seems to have alot of cars in the parking lot, it was not good. The server was really nice - fast and friendly. The indoor decor was pretty cool. But we went there for good mexican and the food was really bad. It wasn't even mediocre as I can make better mexican at home. We had the Guadalajra and the Vegetarian Combo A along with the Beef/Chicken Taco. The food was overwhelmingly bland. Every single item lacked flavor. As if they didn't season anything at all. The beans were a pile of mushed beans, with no actual bean chunks and no flavor. No garlic, no salt, no butter - no flavor at all. Same with the chalupa and the enchilada. The enchilada sauce was bland, almost like a base tomato sauce. The meat didn't have any flavor at all. The Guadalaraja (chicken burrito and chicken enchilada) - which hubby had said that his was pretty meh. He also said he didn't need to go back there again. And later finally admitted it was pretty bad. Sorry, but I can't in good conscience recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Drove out to Richmond to meet some friends for dinner…read more We ordered some wings and choriqueso for an app 10/10. I always like to try wings at Mexican restaurants and they are always great. My friend ordered the molcajete and everything was super tender and it came with a house sauce at the bottom of it to give it extra flavor. It has a variety of meats and fried cheese and a cactus piece on it. Definitely big enough for two and unique! I ordered the carne asada, my piece came with more fat than I'm used to. Although the flavor was great. I paired it with a michelada and it came out a little spicy. The service was great they were on top of it. The inside of the restaurant was gorgeous too, very colorful and cozy. Seats were comfortable, overall a good dinner experience.

I has seen several friends and foodie folks on the interwebs talk about this "Mexican at the Mall"…read morelocation, so I decided to hop out and see what the fuss was about. I judge every trip to a new Mexican place by their version of the Speedy Gonzalez. This is a taco, an enchilada bean or rice. I had the beef version of this here, while it was solid, it did not blow my socks off. Beef was seasoned well, everything was piping hot and the taste was pretty bland overall. The refried beans were very tasty and the little bit of cheese on top was a great touch! I did not care for the salsa and chips. It didn't have much zip to it or any onion or cilantro flavors that I like. Chips were thick but warm and sprinkled with salt. I was there in the middle of the day and the place seemed a little dark. Service was fast and friendly. I will give it another whirl and try something different. But there are other Mexican places I will try before I go back to this one. Will give them an shout out for putting the crunchy taco on a bed of lettuce.

Our waiter made sure we didn't run out of salsa and chips while we were talking and waiting for our food. I ordered the Speedy Gonzalez with a hard shell beef taco, chicken enchilada and rice.
