ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Im pretty picky about Mexican food because I feel underwhelmed by many places around here but this place's food is so fresh and delicious. The lady at the front counter was nice and very helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great for casual lunch spot with stylish decor and lots of natural light.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Chicano Boy completely exceeded our expectations. This little spot really stands out. It's bright, welcoming, and super clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can tell from the moment you walk in that everything is thoughtfully done, from the colorful decor to the fresh ingredients in every dish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We dined in and had a great experience from start to finish. Ordering was simple and quick. They also offer takeout and app-based ordering if you're on the go. The menu has plenty of taco options, and everything we tried tasted incredibly fresh. I had the chicken tacos, which were juicy and full of flavor. My wife chose the chorizo tacos, which had the perfect mix of spice and savoriness. We ended up sharing and trying a little of each, and both were excellent. The salsas really stood out. I tried the carrot hot sauce, and despite not liking carrots at all, I was surprised by how good it was. Our child had the quesadilla meal, which is an amazing value at $8.99. It includes a quesadilla, chips, a cookie, a drink, and even a rubber duck. It was a fun and satisfying meal. The lunch taco deal is another great option. For $12.99, you get two tacos, chips, and a drink. Considering the quality, this is a fantastic deal. Chicano Boy gets the basics right and adds thoughtful, fun touches that make the experience memorable. We are already looking forward to coming back. read more

Great Mexican restaurant located in a strip mall with ample parking! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking inside you are immediately greeted by beautiful murals and bright colored table cloths.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was extremely friendly and even explained parts of the menu to us as it was our first time. We ended up getting 3 tacos and an order of the Chicano Boy taters. The taters were phenomenal they are drizzled with a Chipotle mayo which offered a great hit of spice. Our favorite taco was the pork belly which was definitely worth the upcharge, it was sweet, spicy and had a nice crunch. The best part were the drinks, they offer 6 dollar margaritas all day everyday and they serve it in a souvenir cup you can keep. It was refreshing, sweet and had that nice citrus bite you expect from a good margarita. Overall, this is a great spot to check out if you want a good taco and a good beverage! read more

My first time trying this place. I ordered takeout from here and someone else picked it up, so I don't have anything to add about the restaurant or customer service. I got a beef bowl and a side of refried beans. I felt like the portion size was really good. The ingredients were fresh. The ground beef in the bowl was a little bit salty and I also thought the refried beans were a little too salty as well. I was full and I couldn't really finish the whole thing. I will definitely go again to try other things. If I get the bowl again I would try a different protein. read more

When it's Tuesday there must be a taco in my life. So I decided since healthy is in, let's try taco salad. There was plenty of parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was greeted with friendly staff and cute family dining atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My salad presented a healthy mix of lettuce, tomato, cheese, black beans and seasoned ground beef, The taco salad was perfect in size and will be on rotation for what I might add taco Thursday. read more

This is one of my favorite Latin America restaurants! I go here specifically for the pork belly which can be put in a taco, burrito, or salad. It is to die for! It's seasoned to perfection! It's crispy enough, but not overcooked. It has a little spice, but it the heat isn't overwhelming. I also love their chips and guacamole. The chips are very light and airy and guacamole is also very fresh and flavorful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chicano Boy has beautiful bright murals on the wall and cute little spaces to dine in[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is set-up like a take-up spot, but there is space to chill although there is no wait staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The employees are very friendly. read more

TLDR - Super affordable lunch combo. Tacos were good but dip them in the salsas to make them better! Service/Vibe- My husband and I came here for lunch at noon. The restaurant wasn't packed and service was quick. While the outside of the building is very unassuming, the inside was really cute! Food - We both ordered the taco lunch combo for $13 which included a medium soda, 2 tacos, chips and our choice of guac or queso as well as a salsa which we were able to pick from 4 options. The sides are SMALL but I still felt like it was a really great deal - especially when compared to other restaurants in the city. My only warning is that if you're hungry (like we were) then this won't be enough food. After we finished our combos we ordered another 3 tacos to split HAHA! The guac, queso, red salsa and green salsa were all excellent. Honestly, you need the salsas to level up the tacos. Without them, they would have been a bit bland. The tacos themselves were okay. Good but not super flavorful on their own. We ordered the shrimp, brisket, Americana, Chicken and Carnitas and this was our general sentiment. The Americana tasted like an elevated Taco Bell taco (which I really enjoyed) and the chicken taco was our favorite by far. Most flavorful option and even better with the green salsa on top. All in all, we would come back but next time I would get an order of 3 tacos and then order the guac/queso/salsa on the side. read more

Chicano Boy serves some of the best tacos I've ever had! The tortillas are fresh, the fillings are tender and flavorful, and the toppings strike the perfect balance to bring them all together. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, great vibe--this place is a must-visit for taco lovers![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is always clean and well lit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wait staff are polite. The food portions make sense. Usually I'll get a burrito and a taco or two. I'd especially recommend the sweet potato burrito. Of the places nearby, it's clearly a more dependable choice than other places in the shopping center. Since I go to church nearby, I just wish they were open for lunch on Sundays. read more

First visit January, second in June...left completely satisfied both visits. Not sure how long they've been open but definitely disappointed I didn't know about it sooner as it's not far from me at all! I love queso con chorizo and the consistency of theirs is perfect and it is enough to share. The burritos here are probably my favorite because they are so filling but the pork carnitas was by far the best. It was moist and flavorful but because my bf ordered that our visit I opted for the tacos. Those were also delicious but I think the chicken taco was my favorite of the 3; no qualms about the others though. Our second visit was for lunch and we had the lunch deals and shared chips and queso again. I opted for the chicken burrito and wasn't disappointed as it was the same size as the non lunch portion. Sweet potato & black bean is available as a topping and there are bowl, salad, and nacho options. Each time we left stuffed and had some food left so it's definitely worth it. Service was pleasant and quick on both visits and they do to go ordering also! read more

Wow! What a surprise. Random stop in because I was hungry. Never heard of this place. I had the salad with pork belly and it was AMAZING!

Love this place! Not a cheap taco spot but they have a good lunch special and amazing tacos! It's a walk up and order spot and they bring the food to your table. Service has always been friendly and quick even when busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is my second time trying Chicano boy. The first time I went I had a pork belly burrito and their Mexican street corn, it was amazing, but I didn't think it could be out done. I decided to try the pork belly taco and I got two Carnitas tacos because I was craving them. The Carnitas tacos were very moist and flavorful. I've tried their pork belly before, so I didn't expect to be amazed when I tried it in taco form, but boy was I wrong. The pork belly with the chili crunch on top a flour tortilla might be one of the best tacos I've ever had in my life, especially when it's paired with that extra hot salsa. The service was wonderful and everyone was friendly. I originally came in thinking I had already placed my order online, but it turns out I forgot to press send. It really only took them about 5 to 7 minutes to get my food prepared after I ended up having to place the order inside of the restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was such a welcoming and friendly environment, and also extremely cleanly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had just worked a very hard shift and was craving some good food, this place definitely hit the spot. Will be coming back! read more

Chicano Boy - One pork belly, 2 pork (carnitas) tacos, on flour tortillas with the mild, hot, and x hot salsa - Tex-Mex Near Me - Bon Air, Virginia

Today I had another STELLAR meal at Chicano Boy Taco in North Chesterfield. (In the Huguenot Village Shopping Center at the corner of Huguenot and Robious.) I've been going there for just over 5 years now and the tacos are always incredible. It's clear folks in the kitchen are well-trained...the precise cut of the radishes indicates to me some pretty serious ability. And when I order the pork carnitas with pico and cilantro, those tomatoes are in PERFECT little cubes all the same size. But enough of me geeking out on knife skills LOL...as I told the chef in the kitchen when I was leaving this afternoon, "I would take a punch in the face for one of your pork belly tacos." The pork is crunchy and soft, deliciously glazed, plus the chiles add a perfect pickled acid to blend with the fat of the meat. The chicken--marinated in citrus, garlic, and a hint of oregano--pairs so well with the fresh radish. Every time, they're just sublime. Cannot recommend highly enough. read more

Quick service restaurant. Order at the front counter, take a number and find a seat. When your food is ready, they'll bring it to you. I ordered the tacos. You can get flour or corn tortillas and your choice of fillings. I opted for American, Sweet Potato and Black Bean and Squash. They were good, street size tacos. read more

Really good burrito and chips. Been here twice now- in large part because of the service of Seven, the gentleman at the register. He was super helpful and really cares about doing his job well. Rare these days. The young lady on the floor was also attentive and hustled. read more

I love this place! The only downside is they're too far from me to regularly come by. I make excuses or leave time while running errands in the area to go here. I usually get a bowl and it's full of fresh veg, flavorful beans and rice, and comes with guacamole!! The staff are always super kind and take care of you too. Super great place read more

I fell in love with this place the first time I walked in. From the professional and courteous staff to the beautiful food, everything about this establishment felt right. I believe that the better the atmosphere, the better quality of the food will be. I ordered the Burrito Bowl w/ Chicken, 3 Sweet Potato and Black Bean tacos, and Chips and Salsa. Life Lesson: For those married to greedy spouses, please double up on your order when purchasing from this restaurant. The Reason: When you purchase great food from an establishment that you have never tried before and your wife loves everything, what will you eat? I know someone out there feels my pain! Anyway, every item that I ordered that day was perfect. I ordered the Burrito Bowl for myself, and my wife ate 1/3 of that, along with the Sweet Potato and Black Beans tacos. Who knew this was a combination? And my wife loved the Chips and Salsa. Honestly, this rating deserves more than 5 stars. I have been visiting this place as if I was going to the grocery store. Each time that I visit, the food is better than before. Overall, this is such good food with great staff and greater service! read more

Chicano Boy - Inside - Tex-Mex Near Me - Bon Air, Virginia

I was so excited to try this place! I have a friend from Staunton, VA that raved about it, as that is where the owners originally opened one. Glad they opened one in Midlothian! Definitely cute spot with a good amount of seating. I went in and made an order to go, but as I sat to wait for my order I noticed that they had online ordering pick ups with seemed super efficient. Similar to Panera they had bags prepared and labeled so you can walk in and pick up. I love that, I will need to remember that next time. I ordered the mix and match three tacos. I went with a chorizo and potato, pork carnitas, and the shrimp with Cotija cheese. Honestly all were unique in their own way... I would get all of them again, all were super flavorful... but the chorizo has that extra punch of spice which made it super tasty. I got the carrot habanero, I was expecting it to be super spicy but it was actually mild. I think next time I would go with the tomatillo-cilantro-lime salsa! I also skipped the queso/guacamole with chips and ordered the grilled corn which was absolutely delicious. Makes it feel like summer again even though today was probably the coldest day we've had so far in fall this year haha! I loved how it was covered in a good amount of cotija cheese. All in all it was delicious and I can't wait to go back and maybe eat there with the fam :) read more

First, the name. We live in a melting pot where many of us are American of foreign descent and the name "Chicano Boy" celebrates that. The menu describes it as a "Mexican-American Taqueria," which I love because too often, we want ethnic food to be totally authentic. But that isn't always possible or even necessary. It just needs to be good food, as is the case with Chicano Boy. The concept is pretty simple. They have a limited menu of tacos, burritos, bowls, salads, and nachos with a filling and salsa of your choice. The ingredients are fresh and the salsa selections are great. Because they come on the side, you can try them all to see which one you like. The orange one is my personal favorite--it's habanero hot. I've not had the Americana or squash fillings but have enjoyed all the others, especially the beef, pork, and shrimp. The nachos are HUGE and they are generous with all the toppings, including the meat. This allows you to get one or more toppings on each chip, making the nachos pretty filling. An order of tacos come with three tacos you can mix and match. They are made on small tortillas but are packed with the fillings, making them satisfying but not as filling as the nachos, bowl, or burrito. The only thing I haven't liked here is the tres leche cake because it's really dry and floral tasting. But who cares because if you want something sweet after your meal, Crumbl is next door. In sum, Chicano Boy is authentically good Mexican-American food. Other bonuses are the friendly service and a bright, casual, and artistic ambiance. We've never had a bad experience here and thus, have added it to our regular rotation. read more

Since moving to the Richmond area and trying new local restaurants, Chicano Boy is a favorite. We keep coming back and trying new menu items, all have been exceptional. I have landed on the Carnitas tacos. The medium salsa (red) is flavorful and not too hot. The staff is personable and Stephanie is very engaged with the customers, always asking if any customers need anything. 5stars isn't enough for this gem of a restaurant. read more

We ordered takeout for the first time this week. The order of potatoes was way larger than anticipated and had a little bit of a kick to them. Toppings were plentiful. The bowl was a decent size. The rice was okay, but not really seasoned at all. It was like one of those rice packets you can microwave in a few minutes. The beef was nicely cooked and tender. The food didn't seem to have much seasoning or a large flavor profile that I would anticipate when order this type of food. Also, their pricing is a bit high. Unfortunately, this didn't hit the mark for me given the other options available in the area. Check it out and see what you think! read more

Amazing. All the food is excellent. Run don't walk for the best tacos ever. You won't be sorry. Queso is the best.

I ordered one of the bowls and my husband got a salad. I had the pork belly as my filling and he got the pork Carnitas. Both were quite delicious.

So we visited this spot because my cousin loves it and it was his birthday! The overall vibe and the staff were amazing, super helpful and nice! The table ordered chips and queso dip, fresh to order chips, amazing! The cheese was average but very gooey tho! My bestie ordered the Chicano boy taters with dip on the side and thatwas a table favorite, yummmm! For my dinner, I opted for the tacos which comes in your choice of three, so Americana, Beef and Pork! You eat with eyes first, plating of the tacos was awesome! The pork was my favorite, tender meat and all the tacos were plentiful! The Americano (a play on a typical taco but much better) and Beef with pickled onions were good overall but the meat was salty to me and that's the only reason I rated this spot a 3. And get the green sauce! want to go back for more taters and try the shrimp burrito that my cousin raves about! read more

Chicano Boy - Tacos (Americana, Beef and Pork) - Tex-Mex Near Me - Bon Air, Virginia

The beef burrito hit the spot ! The meat was sooooo tender, juicy, and flavorful. It was perfectly seasoned unlike a lot of restaurants that load on the sodium for their meat. This was perfection. The chicano boy taters were tasty! They aren't anything more than what they sound like. I think another reviewer compared it to Mexican poutine so my expectations were high. Personally I'd like to see more flavor in the queso like jalapeños. I feel like they are definitely trying to accomodate non-spicy food eaters, which is not a bad thing. My words of advice to them - serve your seasonal hot salsa ALL THE TIME. List it on the menu as an option! It's soooooo good!!!!!!!!!!! A kind gentleman came up while we were eating and asked if we liked super spicy. (Probably because he saw us loading all the options of hot sauce on our burrito lol). Had he not come up to us, I would have been deprived of such an awesome salsa because I wouldn't have known about it. It was incredible, way way ahead of the other salsas. It's so garlicy, spicy, perfect amount of acid. Honestly it elevated the **** out of my burrito! Everyone should try this hot sauce if you like spicy! Overall a solid choice for tacos and burritos! read more

I really had a taste for some pork belly tacos from bartaco, however with not having a location in Richmond I was limited. With much research and calling around I came across Chicano Boy.
