    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!

    Ok, I'll admit it, I'm a taco snob. No Taco Bell taco facsimiles for me. I want the real thing. 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!

    There was about 8 min wait to be seated, and the place was maybe half full of hungry customer…read morewaited patiently and already serviced customers devouring the delicious BBQ. We waited about 15 min while our waitress chit chatted with another table before coming to our table. We placed our drink and food order at the same it. We also asked if she could clean our table because it was very sticky. She rolled her eyes and said ok. We ordered the Cuban sandwiche and BBQ Cob salad with smoked turkey and egg rolls. The salad was missing the smoked turkey, the cuban was on sourdough and we asked for a bun, we asked for BBQ sauce only and it had mustard and BBQ sauce. The waitress brought out a plate with sliced smoked turkey, no knife on the table to cut it. About 10 minutes later she brought out the correct sandwiche. Everything was delicious. Just wished the service was better.

    Tonight, I ordered sliced turkey to bring home for dinner. If you haven't tried it, Sonny's has…read moresome of the juiciest sliced turkey breast that you can find. (We combined it with our own sides and had a 'Thanksgiving' style dinner in February.) Because I recently signed up for Sonny's Rewards and downloaded their app, I received a free appetizer. I decided to try their fried okra which was absolutely delicious! Okra was cooked perfectly and came with a side of ranch dressing which was a nice compliment. (It's not on their menu, but some fried green tomatoes with the same breading that's on the okra would be awesome!) Whether to-go, or dining in, the folks at our local Sonny;s always do it right and the waiters and waitresses are very friendly. If you dine in, order your fries extra crispy! Oh and they have the absolute best coleslaw!
