Came in for lunch today and it was packed. The service was outstanding from both the bartender and the man working the food counter. Everything was fresh and delicious, even the pico de gallo was incredible! read more

Delicious tacos! And the perfect spot to grab dinner or lunch if you are brewery hopping! The best part is the staff. In particular - Suzie- she was amazing and running the whole outdoor seating area. Thanks for the hospitality!! read more

The restaurant is colorful and in a pretty nice location. It didn't feel like I was in Richmond but more of a posh area in Texas. Sat outside on a nice day under the covered patio. Ordered at the bar and then they call you to pick up your food. The chicken tacos were well seasoned and a huge portion. My only thing is that they can take the amount of the of toppings they put on the two tacos, could easily make 3. The tacos are over stuffed making them hard to eat. So the portion would be perfect with 3 tortillas. The drink was tasty and you could taste the liquor. Overall great experience. Would return. read more

For my friends birthday a group of 8 of us went out to Cochilocos for dinner before brewery hopping in Scott's - this place is so good! It is BUSY, and you have to be quick to get open tables during dinner time. However, the food comes out quickly and it's very well priced! I would recommend tying it for sure. Between our group we had nachos, a chicken dish, quesadilla, tacos - it was all good! I will say the guac was essentially chunks of avocado but that's my only complaint. read more

Love this place! The inside is so unique for Richmond, we don't have much like it. The food is so good, everything has always come out quickly, hot, and delicious. The cali fries are awesome, the perfect mix of a potato wedge and a curly fry. We love the frozen margs, the sauce bar, and practically everything here. Just remember they're closed on Sundays! read more

The vibes of this place for great, staff were super helpful and kind. The food is great! Is it as good as what I'm used to in LA? not quite, but it's the closest i've found in RVA. The birria is so savory and flavorful! The burrito was next level and the carne asada tasted grilled and really rocked. I would recommend skipping the cali fries, as they were a little under cooked. Must get was the burrito and the tacos! I had never seen chickpeas in a consume before but i didn't mind it. read more

Cochiloco is my new favorite spot! The guacamole is delicious, flavorful, and fresh - the perfect appetizer while waiting for food to come out. I tried the Guayabitos drink, which was refreshingly light and delicious. The shrimp quesadilla was the star of the show, perfectly cooked and filling. My friends enjoyed their meals (ACP) as well. I can't wait to come back read more

Amazing Mexican food!it's a limited menu but what they do, they do well. 40 ounce bottles of beer, full bar, house made spicy delicious salsas, loud environment (especially on karaoke nights) great for families, and really the only negative I have is the extremely weak frozen margaritas. Did somebody say non alcoholic limeade? That's a major skip! Go for the beer and shot of their name brand tequila. Order at the counter and you will get a buzzer for pick up. read more

Great restaurant added to Scott's Addition. This place is always packed, and there are many options like pick-up windows, dining in, etc. Love all the choices on the menu, and the sauces available. Delicious flavors, and cute decor! read more

Cochiloco - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Went to Cochiloco on a Monday night for the first time. And I was happy to pick that day as I've heard it gets packed in the weekends. For a Monday night it was a bit empty and quiet. But it's a lovely place and I can imagine it quickly picks up with people. Ordering was very simple, at the counter towards the end. We were dinning in and sat at the bar. We both ordered quesobirria and they were delicious! They gave us some spicy salsa on the side, and the only comment is that I wish it would have been more spicy. Also ordered a michelada which came with Mexican Tajini candy, and an horchata with rum. Delicious! read more

I'm obsessed with cochiloco. They are from the same group that runs y tu mamá so my expectations were already high coming in and I was not disappointed at all. Such a fun vibe inside and the food is SO good. Birria tacos, anything with carnitas, the chips and all the dips / salsas. Everyone who works there is so friendly too. Can't recommend this place enough!! read more

Cochiloco - Cali Fries and Al Pastor Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

We went on a Thursday night and oh my God it was hard to get a table. They have tables inside and outside and you order drinks from the bar and order food from another cashier. We thought the food was really really really yummy and there were some unique things on the menu. Wide variety of margaritas to drink with wide variety of tequilas there's also quite extensive salsa bar with probably six different kinds of salsa. My biggest criticism of the restaurant was it was quite loud and it was also very hard to get a table. Also, maybe the prices are a little high place where you are busing your own tables.. I do think it was very very tasty though and I will be going again. They don't appear to have a happy hour. They did have a Sheikh TV where they were showing European football. read more

I've been wanting to try this place since they opened and I'm so glad we finally did! Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was superb!

We can't wait to try everything on the menu! read more

Had a great time dining in here. Very cool aesthetic and good food. I kept it simple and got the 3 steak tacos. They were delicious and mixed around with the salsa choices on each of them. Service was efficient and it looks like there's bar service as well. Lovely spot! read more

Loved this hole in the wall spot that felt very urban yet traditional. Ordering is done at a walk up counter and food came out quickly. The tacos were reasonably priced and packed a lot of moist meat and good flavor. Sautéed peppers and onions came on the side as a nice bonus one could add to kick up the heat. The space offered a nice outdoor patio with a bar area. read more

Cochiloco - Carnitas tacos, chips and guac - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

All the flies, dirty tables/bathrooms and heat of Mexico and none of the flavor! Arrived right when it opened, ordered my food(friendly service) at the counter then sat down. Tried a variety of tacos,burritos,salsas,beans,rice,etc.., all of which were bland and lacking the flavor of love I have come to expect being born and raised in Los Angeles(real Mexican food) this place is made for the Micro brew/hipster drunken crowd that wants a margarita and food but has lost their taste. Cochiloco (the crazy pig) maybe?? But if you like this place you're even crazier!! read more

Yum! The speciality tacos are massive and you only really need 2. This place is very popular at peak times and seating gets quite full. They have a massive TV screen playing in the seating area. The food is heavy but delicious! The salsa bar is a great feature, with multiple types of salsa, pico de gallo, and roasted peppers. Would come back here again! read more

I've been here at least a dozen times and have yet to order something i didn't enjoy. The quesobirria tacos are the best i've had (so far) in rva. Excellent margaritas, excellent service, highly recommend. read more

I was really excited for this place to open but overall not impressed. The drinks were much too expensive for what you get and insanely sweet... we couldn't even finish them they were SO sugary it almost made your teeth hurt! I was looking forward to my birria tacos, but they weren't like other birria I've had before. The shells were very dry and hard, when normally they get dipped consume and are soft. The meat was also pretty much mush- tasted good, but the texture almost seemed like it went through a food processor. My friends loved the cochiloco taco. I probably won't be trying this spot again, there are definitely better options in the area. read more

Surprisingly delicious! Any restaurant in Scott's Addition gives me pause becauase I can never tell if it's going to be a trendy-modern spot that ends up disappointing me or a reliably good dinner spot and I've gotta say everything I've ever ordered from here has been wonderful. The Cali Fries are MASSIVE and unlike anything I've ever gotten at a Mexican food establishment - that green salsa at the salsa bar (also a wonderful feature) would go good on literally anything. My girlfriend loved her steak tacos and I've since gone back and tried the potato tacos - both delicious and reasonably priced! Solid margs too if you're looking to get crazt. Got introduced to this place through a run club that starts right outside this place - and its tempting everytime I go back to order literally everything on the menu! Definitely tastes unique, authentic, and has an overall awesomely designed interior that reminds me of a diner-meets-Mexican-themed bar. Service is great too - food comes out rapid fast. read more

This place was awesome. We sat at the bar and got margaritas and the Cali fries--absolutely fantastic. Service moves super fast. The tacos are expensive but also large; they were ok but the Cali fries were where it was at. The also have a projector playing dragonballz and there were tons of happy parents sitting back while their kids were watching the screen. The place is pretty large and open so can seat a lot of people. They have a salsa bar too! read more

While the service wasn't 5 stars, I'll give it 5 stars because of the nachos and chori-dip. I have spent a lot of money dinning out for Mexican food, and cochiloco has thee signature cheese dip u think of when dinning at your local Mexican spot (if your in my area Don Papa Grande has a good dip and this is similar). We arrived maybe six minutes after the restaurant opened, and so I gave the wait staff a pass on service. The ambiance while not traditionally Mexican is fitting. I won't go full foodie because I have had bad chorizo so I was skeptical, but they have a good recipe. Enjoy! read more

Great drinks and food. The horchata cocktail was pretty good. The shrimp quesadilla was heavy but packed with lots of flavor. They have a great salsa bar as well! read more

Love love love Cochiloco! The drinks are amazing as well as the food! It's the perfect place to grab dinner and drinks with friends. The quesadilla tacos is what I recommend but all their food is amazing. As for cocktails, I like their el azulito and la sandia. Those are the only 2 I've tried but I'm sure the rest are delicious. I always find myself coming back and recommending this place! read more

Cochiloco - Quesabirria tacos - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Decent Mexican food in Scott's Addition. My husband got the chicken birria quesadilla, which he enjoyed, and I got the veggie enchiladas. I'm originally from Texas, so I'm pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food, but I was pleasantly surprised by the enchiladas--they had good flavor and the portion size was solid for the price you pay. Overall not bad! read more

It was our last night in Richmond (Scott's Addition) so we went back to Cochiloco for dinner after taste-driving some local breweries. The restaurant came highly recommended by the bartender at a brewery across the street. We ordered the usual chips, salsa, steak and chicken tacos. The food was amazing and cooked well/to temp for each tray of tacos. The service inside where you order was great as well, seemed to be someone in charge handling the orders at the POS station and ensured we received the sauces we were looking, and the ask on the tacos as well. The place was just starting to peak for the amount of patrons coming in, but our food did come out in a reasonable amount of time. Looking around the patio, many folks appeared to be ordering different things that looked very good. And as with most good food, folks stop talking and focus on eating after the food arrive - this was the case for us as well. This was our last stop in Scott's Addition, and we'll definitely be back for more when we travel to the RVA area. read more

Service and food was great! We really enjoyed the Birria quesadilla and the tacos. Prices for Richmond were reasonable.

I really like this place. Fun atmosphere, good tacos, great frozen margaritas! One of my favorite places in Richmond.

Food A1, service quick, ambiance is definitely a vibe. I loved everything about this place!

Great location in Scott's Addition near Vasen and Plant House. Cute little restaurant with metal seats and tables which reminds me of a lot of the Mexican restaurants in Miami. There are two separate places to order, the bar area with myriad drinks and beers and an area for food. We were warmly greeted as we entered and got to work ordering waaaaaay too much food. Be careful your eyes will most definitely be bigger than your stomach. Lots of great sounding choices. I got the Al Pastor tacos and my friend got a cochiloco burrito, but asked to substitute chicken for carnitas. This was an "extra meat" upcharge, not sure I agree with that, but ok I can live with one thing that isn't perfect. You pay extra for chips which may annoy some, but you have lots of salsas and pickle to choose from that you may add to your tacos, so honestly those can cost the restaurant quite a bit so I figure its an even trade. The salsas all had a nice kick to them, and I loved the smokiness of the roja the best. I wish they would have had one nuclear salsa, but flavor is more important than spice level so they win there too. We got margaritas and those were fantastic. I will say I was surprised that the default tortilla was flour rather than corn and I didn't even realize until I had already taken a few bites. I love corn tortillas so I was a little disappointed but they tasted amazing!!! All in all the flavors were there and we left stuffed. I write this laying in a food coma. I will definitely be back. It's a little loud so if you are, or have someone with sensitivities it is overstimulating. Just a warning. read more

Food is outstanding! Classic Mexican street food! Staff is super friendly and overall the place is just a fun time!

Cochiloco, a sister restaurant to "Y tu mama", stands on its own in terms of the food. While the flavors and menu is reminiscent of its sister restaurant, Cochiloco offers additional delicious offerings and with many dishes, enhances the already great flavors of "Y tu mama". The quesabirria tacos were fresh, juicy, and crispy with a very meaty filling and a delicious clean consommé. The Al pastor tacos had a healthy serving of grilled pineapple and a smoky savoriness from the pork. The star of the show however, was the salsa bar. The roja salsa had just the right amount of heat and smokiness, the salsa verde had a vibrant brightness that ranks among the best salsa verde's I've ever encountered, and the matcha was deep and spicy. If I could, I'd bottle those salsas up and take it all home. The drinks were also well balanced and delicious, with the ginormous corona familiar perfectly cutting the salty fattiness from our food. Arguably one of the, if not the best, Mexican restaurants in the Richmond area. While the restaurant is of the type where you order at a counter and pick up your own food, we never had an issue at the bar and at the order counter making an order and all of the food/drink was prepared and readily available very quickly. The restaurant was very crowded and seems like the perfect place to grab a delicious bite or hit a happy hour with friends. read more
