The lady who made sure I got the right bad also put in silverware since we were going to be eating it in the car. Inside there is a dining area. The yellow sauce is amazing and the green sauce has a little bit of a kick. Will be back!

Located at Ashland Junction Shopping Center, next door Roses Discount Store, La Catrina Tortilleria…read moreserves up authentic fresh made Mexican cuisine is a low key casual setting. The place offers a full bar with seats and there are around 11 or so tables situated in the front of the space and a Mexican grocery & variety store towards the left side and back of the space. For food, they offer tacos, burritos, quesadillas, huaraches, fajitas, gorditas, sopes, tortas, caldos, tostadas, salads, cerviche, shrimp dishes, chilaquiles, fries, and a kids menu. They also have happy hour food and drink deals weekdays 3pm to 6pm. The prices seem reasonable. I stopped by La Catrina around 5:40pm before the place started to get really busy. I took a seat at an open table and complementary chips, salsa & queso were brought out. I requested an ice water as I was deciding. I decided to go with 2 happy hour items including Flautas ($9.99 plus tax) and the Tacos de Asada ($6.99 plus tax). The place became really busy and the server brought over more hot fried chips as I waited for my food. Those chips were very crunchy (some broke apart) and good with the mild salsa and dense queso. My food arrived in 20 minutes, a good amount. The flautas had 3 rolled deep fried tortillas filled with shredded chicken topped with refried beans, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, & avocado slices. The tacos de asada were 3 soft pressed corn tortillas filled with chopped grilled steak, cilantro & onions, radish & lime on the side. Green and red sauces were provided too. After I finished all of the food, I got the check which was $19.02 with tax and before tip. Overall, the food was very good and I was very full. The service was a bit delayed since the place was very busy with dine-in and takeout orders. I needed to go next door to walk around before heading out.

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.

I also love that they have plenty of dessert options including Hershey's ice cream.

Why I left a 1 star review... Please read…read more.... This was definitely a five star experience all the way around. I left the one star review so that it might come to the attention of upper management. It will not deter us from returning again. People aren't born a happy server. However, with training, they become awesome personality for the restaurant. Our server was not a people person . No hello or welcome to the restaurant. They did not revisit our table to check our drinks, however, another server stepped in and refreshed our drinks. Our original server never stopped by to see if we needed anything or wanted anything else.. The quality of service is a staple to the survival of a business that serves the public . The decorations, were identical to the other ones that were in the area. Awesome. I ordered the beef and chicken nachos appetizer. It comes loaded with meat and cheese. More than any other entrée in the dinner menu selection. . So much so it's too much food for one sitting.

Plenty of parking around back, it may be tricky driving into the location but we met right at 5:30. My friend got there before me and got us on the waitlist. Luckily, it wasn't that crowded yet and were seated pretty quickly. We decided to start out on their house margarita...my stupid self went ahead and answered the server "the largest one you have!" They were NOT kidding - this cut was gigantic! I told my friend that we will be getting one to share between the both of us. I made it a personal goal to finish at least half of it before leaving... I decided on their chef's special, carne steak (it was all the meat lol: steak, chorizo, with rice and beans). OMG, it was amazing with so much left over! (Spoiler - it taste amazing cold too! haha). I don't remember the dessert that we got but it was seriously like a big pancake churro with a scoop of ice cream. The place is clean and our server was great! He was on top of everything, let us do our thing and checked us on at the right time. I'm already excited for the next girl's catch up date already.

I ordered simple dish taco and enchiladas, however the rice was overcooked with no flavor. The enchiladas was covered in sauce that looked like mole sauce not enchilada sauce.

What surprised me was how much seating inside and out. Much more spacious than I thought it would be. It was a little chilly (the mini split unit was right above our table) so maybe bring a sweatshirt or jacket. The food: all fresh and delicious. My husband had tacos. I had a quesadilla. Generous portion sizes. I had enough left to bring home. The wait staff was friendly and welcoming. Our waiter was prompt in taking our order and checking back while we ate. Will definitely recommend this restaurant to others and will return to eat there again soon!
