We come to Richmond and I always go to Lee's donuts. Now I have a new favorite stop at Richmond Eats. Armando and his wife are an amazing duo! I was craving chilequilles or huevos rancheros and cafe con leche. After looking at their menu I chose the CASAMIENTO 2 Huevos estrellados con entomatada, queso, cream, platano y 2 tortillas / rice, beans, 2 fried eggs with tomato sauce, cheese, cream, plantain and 2 tortillas. That would have taken a bit longer to prepare as they had just opened. Instead, I ordered a quick Salvadoran breakfast to go: PLATANOS FRITOS, HUEVO PICADO, ARROZ CON MAIZ, QUESO, CREMA, PUPUSA. The absolute most delicious breakfast I've had all summer! Just go and watch the soccer game while you're there. Great place, genuinely good people and incredible food. I can't wait to try their cafe con maiz in the winter. read more

Richmond Eats - Mexican Near Me

See all

This is a Salvadoran and Mexican fusion restaurant. It is another excellent find. The cheese pupusas are absolutely amazing. They give you a cabbage, carrot, and radish slaw to go with it that is a favorite for me, as it cuts some of the richness of the cheesy pupusas. (The pupusas are prepared fresh so you will have a bit of a wait but it will be well worth it.) The ambience: Back in the day the location was not a restaurant but a wear house/store. So, it has been converted into a restaurant. However, it still has somewhat of a wear house feel. High ceilings and cement floors. That being said, it is tastefully decorated and actually large enough to accommodate a sizable group of people. It is located directly across the street from the Richmond Bart Station Parking Garage. However, parking can sometimes be difficult but not impossible to find. However, do not let that deter you from checking it out. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. They also serve the milky horchata drink, two ways; Salvadorian and/or Mexican style. read more

Great pupusas. Service is excellent and very clean spacious restaurant. Family oriented.

Richmond Eats has the best food in Richmond no doubt. I absolutely love their pupusas they are always fresh well made and full of flavor and this dish in particular the Salvadoran Appetizer Platter has become one of my favorites. This time it was custom made for me because I requested it and I really hope they add it to the menu because it is amazing. Highly recommended for me they are the best in Richmond. read more

All I can say is my coworkers and I are there every Tuesday and Thursday. The food is so good. Pupusas are off the hook.

I went for the first time to eat to this place.Please don't waste your time and money.I didn't even want to put any stars.The prices are high and the quality of the food is super low.We ordered aguas frescas,the lady(owner) told my daughter she wouldn't charge her because my daughter was undecided if she wanted it or not.We also ordered her a quesadilla with out meat.We paid and then today I checked my receipt to find out that she charges me for the quesadilla with meat and also she charged me for the agua fresca that she said it was free so she can try it out. What a shame to lie to your customers.The food wasn't even good.I ordered carnitas and they taste like plastic.I seriously got grossed out and didn't finish them.They made me feel nauseous afterwards. The service could be better.I called them to let them know they over charged me and they were super rude.The bill was 86.96 and we don't want our money back we are never coming back!Please don't waste your money and your time! read more

Richmond Eats - Receipt to show prove how they charged me for the meat quesadilla and the agua fresca. - Mexican Near Me

I stopped by for a quick bite while charging, and had a carne asada taco. Deliciously cooked meat, with a great blend of spices. The cucumber's coolness melded well with the zest and savory of the taco. Honestly, a sleeper hit. read more

Richmond Eats - Photo of food truck and menu - Mexican Near Me

Excellent El Salvadoran food, with some Mexican staple offerings as well. Situated directly across from Richmond BART/Amtrak on Macdonald Ave, when we visited yesterday before catching a train back to Sacramento, it was like visiting a full-scale outdoor restaurant, buttressed by a food truck. I've never experienced a set up like this, but it's brilliant if you like both outdoor dining and convenient to-go service with an accompanying opportunity to oversee every step of the food production process. Complete disclosure, I was hoping introduce my wife to the magic that is birria at El Garage, but they were sadly closed for a special event. My wife spotted this place and said, "How about papusas?" We got 4, and I'm not 100% certain we got the type of papusas ordered (it would likely help to order in Spanish) and it wasn't exactly "fast," as the kitchen was firing off lots of to go orders... They were DELICIOUS. The crudito was ample, crunchy and fresh. The salsa was passable, but I think there were better options available and I'll blame our lack of available time as a reason for missing out on the full experience available here. The menu offerings are mind-bogglingly expansive. There were at least two dozen varieties of papusas. There seems to be a lot of focus on seafood and I do really regret not being able to try the beautifully photographed soup that included both what appeared to be at least half a crab, decent amount of octopus and other fruits de mare. It also appeared that every Mexican taqueria meat offering was available for tacos, burritos and quesadillas -- including the braver (tastier!) protein offerings. I get the sense that they've not been here long, but if they continue pouring this kind of energy into setting up a street corner that somehow pulls off an immersive escape from Richmond and a glimpse of El Salvador, this "food truck" will be every bit as successful as El Garage just down the street. If you are taking either Amtrak or BART, are the slightest bit hungry, and have at least 30 minutes I recommend visiting. They do accept credit cards, but be warned, there is a $2 surcharge, and they only recently got the mobile Point of Sale equipment. Cash is definitely preferred, and it seems to be well known, as all the other transactions we saw were in cash. I'll politely disagree with the "one star" review on price versus value: We got a total of 4 generous papusas with crudito and salsa for $19. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Waited over 45 mins for 2 burritos and 2 of there pupusas. Costed 40$. Don't get me wrong the snood smelled good so I was interested. The burrito I got they told me was super. Burrito only had steak and white rice...? Uhhhhhh really dry no flavor and chewed 1 bite forever definitely gave it away. 0/10 would never be going back again for the over priced cuisine I don't usually leave reviews but I was highly disappointed and would like to save anyone else from the let down the pupusas were a staggering 3/10 they fell apart right when I picked them up and where slimy I'm sorry but I tried to enjoy it best as possible. read more
