Been wanting to try this place for a while and all I can say is why did I wait so long! Husband and…read moreI got the birria tacos, Al pastor torta with fries, and chips and quac. I *think* these might be my favorite birria tacos in Richmond. The meat was super flavorful and they didn't skimp on the portion size of meat in each taco. The torta was soooo good, all of the flavors mixed perfectly together. And I loved the homemade chips with the guac that had a good tang of lime. I also love that they have plenty of dessert options including Hershey's ice cream.

There are a ton of options on the menu - the usual tacos, enchiladas, etc I went for the tacos, they had all the authentic cuts of meats including lengua (beef tongue) which is honestly the bomb. There is a salsa bar where you load up as much as you want plus a variety of raw veggies. They had free chips that day but the marketing was super confusing. Room for improvement: Orders are punched in manually so the cashier actually got the total wrong and I had to check his math. The amount of chips provided was pretty stingy I get that it's free...but c'mon its chips. Tables and seats could be wiped down more too. The salsas could be labeled to note the spice levels. Some are pretty darn spicy.

I came on a Saturday night and you order at the counter. I got the Elote($6), quesabirria…read moretacos($16), and Cameron(shrimp) tacos($14). Food was ready in about 10 minutes and it was amazing! The elote was loaded with a ton of cotija cheese. The shrimp tacos were seasoned really well and tasted amazing with a squeeze of lime and the salsa verde. The quesabirria tacos were my favorite especially paired with the consommé(I would recommend also squeezing some lime juice to elevate the flavors even more). The meat was tender and seasoned well. It would have been even better if the outside shell also had cheese as well, but nonetheless it was a fantastic taco. Overall a phenomenal Mexican restaurant with great tacos! I'm definitely coming back again!! Food(50%): 8.6 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 7.5 Overall: 8.0/10

I ordered a birria taco served with cilantro, white onions, and consommé, and it did not disappoint. The flavor of the meat was outstanding, and the portion was so generous I easily made two tacos out of it. The consommé paired nicely with the taco, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. While it was already delicious, adding cheese and sour cream would make it absolutely next level. Overall, the quality, flavor, and portion size really stood out. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

Okay, maybe skip the last one. We love this place for the tableside guac, the ample portions of well seasoned chicken / beef / beans/ cheese / shrimp inside of the various offerings. We love the salsa they serve with chips, which is obviously house made as the heat level and amount of cilantro change from time to time. We love the manager checking every table. The prices are great and so is the service. If spicy stuff is your thing, I recommend the tacos a la diabla, and be sure to add the sauce to them. You will thank me.

The restaurant is nice enough and clean. Our waiter was great; very attentive and brought out our food fast. First we ordered table side guacamole. They actually don't make it table side and was very bland. My birria tacos were good, not the best I ever had, but still good. The rice was nice and moist but the refried beans were a disappointment. They were tasteless, watery and orange???? IDK Hubby got a steak quesadilla and he loved it! The steak had lots of flavor. He was very happy. Our friends got the steak and chicken fajitas dish and the Tres Machos plate. The fajitas were amazing with flavor and enjoyed very much but the Tres Machos plate was a disappointment. I guess the steak was so so. We were too full to eat dessert but the fried ice cream and the churros would've been a nice end to dinner.

It was advertised as free chips and salsa on Friday, but I was still charged. I pointed to the sign and said "cero" in my limited Spanish, but it didn't change anything. I didn't push it because I was exhausted and just wanted to eat. When I got home, I realized I didn't even receive the salsa I was charged for. The chips, tacos, and gordita were all fantastic. Just disappointing overall. I went out of my way to order in person instead of using DoorDash to support the restaurant, but I'm not sure that was the right call.

They have a "Weekly Specials Menu", but apparently it's for dine-in only. I ordered a burrito to-go, and it came with a side of rice and beans. The portions on those were quite small - probably because I wasn't dining in... The flavor of everything was actually quite good, but I got three bites with gristle that I had to spit out, which really put a damper on the meal. And the staff was just average. As a gringo, I didn't feel super welcome there. All in all, I won't be going back.

First off, you're always in the right spot when ethnic grandmothers are enjoying a meal there too. While I wouldn't call it Miami, it's definitely hot. We had the birria and carne asade (charcoal?) tacos with rice and beans. Also a Mexican 40 and jarrito. I would say the flavors rival some of the best places by the border. Their sauces are great and the chili oil is ON FIRE!!! I wish they had radishes for condiments but Richmond may not be ready for that.

They have an open condiment bar which I'm not too fond of but it seems traditional so no impact on my score here. The green salsa is the best. The peppers and onions were great to have as well. If I come back again I'd get the carne asada and hopefully try the canpechano or something else. With that said I'm not sure I'd be back. Maybe I'll get some hate for this but Chicken Fiesta has a great carne asada taco and I'd rather go there if i want a carne asada taco. It's a nice place. Packed on Saturday shortly after they open.
