The food was absolutely delicious! The sauce , meat, and dough all complimented each other. The green sauce that they had on the side was soooo good that you can just pour it on!

I've tried the Tequeños, arepas, empanadas, cachapas, and the plantain sandwich, and every single one has been worth it. It's tucked next to a gas station, which adds to the charm. Parking's a bit unpredictable, so I usually park across the street and walk over. Easy enough. The hostess is lovely. Welcoming, helpful, and always spot on with her suggestions. Whether you're dining in or grabbing food to go, Chamo's is one of those places that makes you feel good about coming back. Time for another visit.

I used to like this place, but it's clear they've stopped caring about customers…read more I ordered two lack luster bowls and three orders of beef pastillios (9). The cashier confirmed my order, but still gave me the wrong items and they were burnt. I brought them back, and she tried to convince me it was the same thing I ordered. As if I was just supposed to eat whatever they handed me. I asked for a refund. She got an attitude, disappeared into the kitchen, and came back saying it'd be 5 minutes to fix. Seven minutes later, it was still wrong they gave me chicken instead of beef. I spent over $80 and was treated like my business didn't matter. If I pay for something, I expect to get exactly that not what you feel like giving me. Poor service. Basic food. Sloppy attitude. Beware Richmond, VA (I told you so) this was my last visit. One star.

It was very flavorful with the sauce, but also quite oily. The churro was freshly made and hot when it came out. It was sweet, crunchy and very delightful.

I still didn't know what my topping options were for them. Luckily after looking at the menu, their website, Yelp, and google images I was finally able to figure out what I wanted (too much work lol). I landed on the Pabellon Arepa which had shredded beef, black beans, cheese and plantains.... They deffffffffff needed to strain them black beans a lot more and distribute the ingredients more because it wasn't just messy, it was atomic bomb messy. I needed 100 napkins and a knife and fork to get through it. It was pretty tasty though! My hubs got the pulled pork with avocado, def not as messy and it was pretty good. We also got the cheese sticks appetizer, I would say this was just okay. It was their take on mozzarella sticks essentially. My friend ordered the Cachapas Richmonder.... It was SO SO GOOD! We all took a bite and were wowed by how good it was! She definitely won in the food ordering. I would get that next time and highly recommend it to anyone! Overall it was really good! We were all satisfied!

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!

Our order took slightly longer than expected, but it was served with a warm smile. My shrimp and his carne asada was cooked a little too long, but the spices were done right.

Probably wouldn't go back, because there's better Latino food to be had elsewhere, and I'm never on southside.
