Anytime I can have a cooked meal versus fast food is winning! Honesty, the pricing was not that bad. We ordered the mocajete, which is for 2 people. It's giant! The meat is fresh with a great selection of steak, chicken, shrimp, and chorizo. Also, there is grilled cactus, onions, and Mexican cheese. On top of this giant feast, both of us got a side of rice, beans, lettuce, salsa, sour cream, and tortillas. Our food was so delicious and the staff here is so nice! The restaurant isn't about frills, but the food was good. I love supporting family owned businesses! We sat outside since we had our pup with us. Since we had to drive back home, we had to skip on the margaritas.

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.

Stopped in today for lunch and got some amazing authentic Mexican food. I ordered 4 tacos -…read morecarnitas, al pastor and adobada. They were all great but I favored the carnitas. The meat was super tender and tasty. The best part was the sauce they bring out to the table in little squirt bottles. The red sauce was a chipotle flavored salsa and the green was just as amazing, maybe even more so. Prices were really reasonable, $1.75 per taco and other menu items were under $10. The only downside was that it took a little while (about 20 minutes) for it to be made. Of course, that means it was cooked fresh! I can't wait to come back!

I…read morewant to walk into a shop and see the menu in Spanish and find the tables filled with Latino immigrants longing for a taste of home. That's what you'll find at Taqueria Hidalgo. The menu is not extensive, tacos, burritos, soup (posole on the weekends) sandwiches, and quesadillas but who needs an extensive menu? We are really here for the tacos, right? So, let's talk about the tacos. I'm a huge fan of tripas (tripe) tacos. Growing up in East Tennessee I would never have imagined myself willingly eating the intestines of any animal but here I am, longing for those delectable morsels of deliciousness on a good tortilla with lime and a fiery green salsa. Taqueria Hidalgo delivers. The tripe tacos (order it cooked crispy) are delicious. The owner tells me they sell a huge amount of the tripe tacos and I see why - each crispy little piece of tripe is an earthy, porky, bite of heaven. Add the standard onions, cilantro, and lime along with some of the homemade green salsa and it's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. For the less advanced taco connoisseurs, they also have chicken, steak, marinated pork, etc. but be aware these are Mexican style street tacos - no cheese and served on soft corn tortillas. I'm so happy we have this family run business in Richmond. It is an asset to the community. Check it out!

The atmosphere was also enjoyable, with a modern open garage-style concept that gave the restaurant a fun and relaxed vibe. The music was a little louder than I personally prefer, but I could see others enjoying that energetic environment. The food was good quality overall. My wife wasn't a big fan of the rice, but she said the ground beef was excellent. My meal tasted fresh, especially the vegetables, and the queso and salsa were both outstanding. The only downside was the pricing. For two adult meals and one kids meal, the total came out to around $50, which felt a bit high. That said, the service and overall quality made it a positive experience.

I love avocado in my chicken soup and was pleased it was included as well as some pico de gallo and limes...mixed it all together in my soup and it was delish! Night Two: my friend had the Chicken Enchiladas Suiza and I had the Pizza Ala Mexico. The service was prompt and friendly, and our food was served quickly. We were treated to a large basket of chips with salsa. The chips were delicious, but I wish the salsa had a little bit more flavor (some chopped onion, cilantro and lime would have made me happy), it was kind of bland.
