Add tostones (they come with Cole slaw traditionally, so if you just want a sauce to dip into... specify that). If you have a sweet tooth, the churros never miss! You're going to love the vibe here. The service is always great and the staff is so sweet, very knowledgeable, & really patient with my children when they order in Spanish. I love that Richmond is getting more and more open to real food cuisines instead of those flavorless chains folks in this city love to cling too. I come here way too often... But that's OK because I love it.

It was essentially cheese, a chickpea salad, spices, avocado, spinach, and onions assembled in a cornmeal exterior. It was super soft and melted right in your mouth. And MAKE SURE you ask for an extra side of their pesto mayo. It pairs beautifully with the arepa! Overall a 10/10 experience.

Food was totally amazing, I would definitely order from here again…read more We've had their truck food and had some delivered and both were great.

My boyfriend had a sliced steak arepa maybe with avocado and it was also very good. The empanadas are also amazing!! Food is knockout and the arepas are stuffed full for what you pay. So good.

I didn't know what to expect but we decided to try their Pabellon beef bowl and the beef and pork empanadas. Everything came out quick and the empanadas seemed to have been made to order and were hot when brought out to us. The empanadas were crispy, hot, and full of meat filling. The Pabellon bowl came with an arepa on the side. It was our first times having arepa and we enjoyed the saltiness flavor of it. The denseness of the arepa was a new experience for the both of us, it's something that you just have to try for yourself! The bowl goes well with the light, creamy sauce that is brought out with it. The staff are kind and helpful, glad to have been able to support a local business in Charlottesville!

The name of this market has been changed to: Cielito Lindo, which is a popular Spanish song and…read moreroughly translated means "Lovely Sweet One" although "cielo" means heaven and "lindo" means pretty - combined this phrase is typically a term of endearment. This tidy little Latino market carries many Hispanic, Mexican and South American products. Being of Cuban descent, I frequently head to this site for Goya products, including rice, black beans, plantains, Adobo spices, coffee, Maria cookies, fresh fruits and veggies, tomato items, empanada shells and my "never be without" Mojo Criollo Goya marinade. This marinade truly is the spice of life and I use it in many of my recipes! You will also find baked goods, household items, and sundries at this store. There's a deli/butcher in the back and a frozen food section. There's also a small restaurant and pupuseria serving Latin fare, from Cuban sandwiches to tacos to tostones to tamales to yucca to soups/sides and more. They serve Cuban coffee, horchata, Latin sodas, and other drinks and some tempting desserts, like flan and tres leches cake. For an inexpensive, quick bite in a casual, no nonsense eatery with lots of festive atmosphere, you've gotta try Cielito Lindo, it really is "a slice of heaven". And not to worry if you don't speak Spanish, some of the folks there speak English. ¡Provecho!

We were a party of 10 and we all got our food at different times. I was already almost done eating before my cousins even got her plate. Also, they kept running out of stuff, like who runs out of french fries. Also they can only sit a check into 2 checks. It's 2026, there's no reason why your system can't properly split checks. All in all, I would only come back with a small party. The food was good but they need to do better with their system. Note: we were so hungry waiting for our food, I didn't even get to take a picture when it finally came out.
