One thing I wish they had is a spicier sauce/salsa--when I have tacos/mexican I want a sauce that sends me reeling from pain or at least gives me a little punch of something (haha)

Food: Good, but not great. Being from Southern California I have high expectations for Mexican…read morefood. This place had so much hype for over two years and the food was mediocre. The flavor was lacking, even with the roja salsa I was not excited about it. We got the asada fries, the fries seemed like they were frozen and fried there. The guacamole was piped on and not a pile so I was a little taken aback and they did not strain the beans before throwing them on the fries so they were so soggy. The queso was no where to be found and the asada had no flavor at all. Tacos: we got three of the speciality chicken tacos. All mid. I don't even know how to explain them, no flavor. Got two with corn tortillas and one with flour that was supposed to be the best. The standard burrito was small and no standout flavor. Seeing the stack of flour tortillas in a bag was a turnoff and they were out of churros. Service: The front of house were really nice. We were there around 6:15 on a Friday night and they were slammed. You could tell they are still working out kinks. The guy next to me had a missing part of his drink, they left hot food sitting out on the pass for longer than I would have liked, and prioritized the newer food over the ones that had been sitting there. It seemed they were busy making drinks over running food. The back of house was absolutely crushing it. I do think they actually had to the servers to hurry up a bit. It's cute, but pretty small. We had to sit at the bar and they had multiple tables waiting in the doorway because there were not enough tables. I do think it is solidly busy and some of the hype will die down once people have been here. I want this place to succeed and wish it all of the best. We want to support vegan places and Mexican food. However, with all of the lead up I was disappointed with the lack of flavor in all of the dishes we tried. I think they need more time to work through things.

Arguably the best tacos in Richmond and I'm not sure why this is my first time reviewing them. I've…read morenever had a bad meal here! This visit I got the tacos Al pastor. Absolutely amazing! The pineapple was grilled, pork seasoned to perfection and the sauces just sent it over the top.

You pay for your food at the same place where you order your drinks and they give you a buzzer that lights up when your food is ready. The food came out pretty quickly, even on a busy Saturday afternoon. I decided on the carne asada tacos, which came with cilantro and onions, and was accompanied by two sauces. The red one was a bit too spicy for my liking, but the green one was pretty good and accompanied the taco flavors well. The cubes of meat were a little dry and the tacos got cold quickly. Other than that, I enjoyed my meal and it paired well with my beer. Overall, this is a great place to come with friends. There were several families there with children as well.

Authentic, fresh, flavorful! Great, friendly service and nice size portions. I typically visit the food truck on Staples Mill, though they have several brick and mortar locations around RVA My favorites are al Pastor- sopes, gorditos and tacos The sopes and goritos are crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. Al pastor (pork) is tender, moist and flavorfil. This is a permenant food truck location with some outside seating. Located next to BP gas station.

When I visit a Mexican restaurant, I always get a hard shell taco. I love the ability to compare a basic food item to other places. Theirs was very good - ample meat.

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.

It's clean and simple inside with a small market that has basic Mexican and Central American staples like spices, dried peppers, candies, snacks, etc., a proprietary bakery case (not sure if this is the right term, but it appears it's their baked goods, not like La Sabrosita or something), and a small refrigerated area. The great part is that the chicken is already hot and ready under the heat lamps, but it's fresh and not at all dried out since they keep a steady flow of customers. Everyday, there's a variety of like 3 stews and 2 other grilled meats as well. It all looks soooo yummy! The L.A. style short ribs are like $11 a pound, and they actually have a grill outside where they're constantly grilling the meats, and, yes, all year round. The chicken is cooked inside on a rotisserie spit. When I went, I got the chicken. It was $10 for a small whole chicken that was super tender and juicy without a dry breast in sight. The flavor is simple, brined and seasoned lightly with a true adobo on the skin. The star is the juicy tenderness of the meat. I opted not to get the tortillas and beans for like $3 more. The chicken can feed about 3 adults, I'd say. I ate 2 good meals, my husband had one, and my toddler had a meal all from one chicken, so it worked out well for us. It is now my go-to for quick budget meals on the fly because it is already hot and ready to go and, though they get super busy after work, they ring you up in a flash. Service is prompt, courteous, and helpful. Inside, there are a couple of booths and a few small tables, but most people takeout. The only pain is the itty bitty parking lot with no viable alternatives nearby since there's construction next door. I had to wait a couple minutes to get a spot, but it was worth it. I enjoyed my chicken so much that I went back the next day, and I don't even eat out much. When you're on the way, this place is on a corner, it's small, and simple, so move slowly. If you blink, you'll miss it. There is a gas station under construction next door, and they're on Hull where it intersects with Broad Rock, on the opposite side of CVS, Little Caesar's, and Bocata.
