    Came here for Richmond Restaurant Week, but it ended up being before RRW hours, so we didn't get to try the pre-fixed menu. Regardless, the regular menu was great, and the ambiance/decorations were super cute! A great spot for a date or a group dinner.

    Popping in to update my old review from 2022. I've since been back a couple of times, and both have been lightyears better. I was most recently here for Restaurant Week, and everything was delightful. I loved every bite, which included their asparagus salad, machete, and chocoflan. Service was great. Prices reasonable. Restaurant didn't feel as loud as the last time despite being completely full.

    Coconut blackberry margarita
    Nancy C.

    I highly enjoyed my first visit to Conejo. The restaurant is open, airy, and spacious, immediately giving tropical vibes upon entrance. I started off with a coconut margarita which was pretty strong but delicious! I also tried the coconut margarita mixed with blackberry, both were great. The salsa trio was different from other more traditional Mexican restaurants but I enjoyed trying it. The darker red salsa reminded me of chili crunch oil. For my main I ordered the Gobernador Las Costras, which was described as an open face quesadilla by our server. It was absolutely delicious and I loved trying something new - I had never heard of this dish before. I also ordered the Baja tacos which were phenomenal. Next time I would love to sit out on the patio and I look forward to visiting again! Great happy hour deals as well :)

    Frozen blood orange margarita

    Conejo is a cute contemporary take on Mexican food with a nice ambience but a bit to be desired. They bring to the table a set of three house salsas-one of the meal highlights. All incredible, fresh and with flavor-should have asked for a refill. We tried the frozen blood orange margarita, a winner considering frozen drinks rarely have decent alcohol presence but this was spot on and tasty-borderline dangerous. We placed an order of chips and guacamole-a basic guacamole (no complaints) but the star being thicker than usual tortilla chips that could hold their weight for proper scooping activity. (Add the salsas, you won't regret it). We went for brunch which is VERY much lunch featuring two breakfast options. We had the breakfast burrito with brisket and the greens and grains bowl with chicken added on. The burrito came with sour cream and guacamole. While all the components were good on their own, the construction of the burrito meant minimal meat included and an arrangement of ingredients that left for real mushy bites (see the avocado, beans, scrambled eggs, soft potatoes and melted cheese texture all meeting one another). I definitely needed some pico de gallo to cut the flavors and add some crunch of the onion. Brisket was a bit dry. The greens and grains bowl was well dressed, had large pieces of chicken. Not much to critique. Don't know if ordering tacos would have been the better bet or honestly coming for dinner. Their dinner menu looked more appetizing but didnt fit into our schedule. Service was alright. First set of utensils at the table featured stained napkins and the bench was covered in chips. There was a wall of incredible sculptures, alebrijes, fridas and more. Definitely admired that touch but wish they leaned into it more.

    Beef Birria Tacos

    This was a great spot--I really enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was chill, relaxing, and pleasant, with decor enhanced by plants that created a welcoming vibe. The food was excellent, and the location is convenient, surrounded by other establishments. Parking is easy to find, with options on the street, behind the restaurant, and in a nearby garage. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the visit even better. Definitely worth checking out, and it's the kind of place that could easily become a regular go-to for Mexican cuisine.

    The waiter was great! Very attentive considering how busy it was. The ambiance is very pretty and well decorated. The margarita was delicious and the shrimp taco I had was good. It's not my typical type of Mexican! But it was delicious

    Coconut margarita!
    Elizabeth F.

    What a great evening! I run a ladies dinner party group and our March outing was at Conejo. Everyone had the best time! While gathering the troops, I enjoyed their coconut margarita, which was the perfect way to start our evening. It was probably one of the best drinks I have ever had. We started off with some guac and queso (freshly home made chips too!) for the table while we admired the menu and attempted to figure out what to try. I decided to have the Alambre and a side of the Esquites (street corn). The alambre was beautifully prepared and was absolutely delicious. I especially liked the home made tortillas and the various of moles. I like it so much, I ordered the exact same thing to take home to DH. Others at the table had a variety of beautiful looking dishes, including salads and variety of tacos and mains. Everyone was very happy with their orders and proclaimed the evening to one of our better outings. Service was terrific - kind, hospitable and without being intrusive. I look forward to returning! PS: probably the most hilarious story told of the night was one of the ladies telling us that someone at her physical therapy practice thought the place was named Connie Jo's.

    Dined in on a Friday early evening. At 5pm there was already a long wait! We walked around the neighborhood before we were called back since there wasn't space at the bar to wait. Once seated, we had amazing service. I got the cochinita pibil with a side of rice, and got churros to go. The main dish -- delicious!! Everything was so flavorful. Apparently it was a newer addition to the menu, so one of the managers checked on us as well for feedback. The churros were yummy as well, just popped in the air fryer to refresh they the next day!

    Chicken with Mole and mushrooms.
    David W.

    Absolutely delicious and a rockstar waitress named Courtney. The scallops were the best I've ever had over deliciously spicy squid ink noodles. Then we had one of the quesadillas with caramelized cheese and mushrooms. I thought that was very good but of the dishes maybe my least favorite but still very good. Then we had a delicious chicken marinated in very nice spices with a mole sauce and potatoes. Totally delicious. Then finally, we finished our meal with a caramelized flan sitting on top of something which was like a chocolate brownie cookie . When I found a new favorite drink called a coconut margarita, sooo good .

    Three different hot sauces. Our Fave was the Macha.
    Michelle F.

    Love this place!! Great service, easy walk in, parking is a little difficult but we found a spot and we were very well taken care of. Great recommendations from our server and the food was on point! Favorite taco for me was the Tuna Taco but my fiancé loved Carnitas. Will definitely find an excuse to come back here! Thank you all for a wonderful lunch.

    Vegetarian burrito by special request
    Jessica G.

    The restaurant itself is very cute. Definitely a modern spot with a fun vibe. The michelada is not traditional but pretty tasty - albeit small, definitely doesn't come with an entire beer. The chips and guacamole were okay. To be honest, I didn't like the chips at all. I'm a little over hipster tortilla chips that are just half a corn tortilla and not cut up - these were REALLY crunchy and almost a little hard? The guacamole was good but a small portion. The salsas that come with the food were good and overall the food was decent. Presentation was nice. My partner got the juevos rancheros and they were a little odd - the corn tortillas were soft in the middle and just a little too crunchy on the outside. I opted for a burrito and thought it was good. I didn't LOVE this place but would venture to try it again. It's a nicely priced menu, adorable venue, and overall good food just nothing spectacular. Good is the word here...clearly. Just "good".

    la pluma & blood orange margarita
    Tatyana T.

    absolutely obsessed with Conejo! The staff is so friendly and attentive, the food was incredible (surprisingly some of the best Mexican food I've had in richmond), and drinks were 10/10 as well. The restaurant itself is so cute, perfect place for a girls brunch or celebration of some sort! will definitely be back!!

    Beans n Rice
    Eric B.

    I'll preface I'm well traveled (all of Central America but Belize) and my wife has lived in Honduras, Mexico, and Venezuela, Japan, and the U.S. Been here twice. Inside was nice 1st visit, but outside was awesome--great vibe either way so ambiance and atmosphere are pretty and pleasant. This time, I had the caeasar salad (kale) with carnitas--omg, best carnitas ever, crisp and moist. My wife got the chicken--same perfection and mushroom beds were fun to dig into. We love the trio of hot sauces, but they are hot on a VA scale, not Mexico, Indian, Thai, or silly Ghost scale. Beans and rice--excellent. You really need the hot sauce trio to play w all your food, not just a chips and salsa thing, as these are amazing flavor vehicles by themselves despite the tamed heat for VA paletes. Previously we had tried the Queso Flamaedo (excellent) and the fish--amazing special--and taquitos...the later was ok but we loved the rest and had to come back for my bday. Service was stellar. Our fave place w Lolitas. We'll be back again and again.

    Is this place okay to bring kids? Do they have high chairs?

    Hi! Yes kids are welcome. We have a kid's menu and coloring page and high chairs. Earlier in the evening is probably better before it gets too crowded but it's really up to you. Hope to see. you soon.

    We arrived on Thursday night around 8 pm, and the parking was hit or miss. I had to circle the…read moreblock to find a spot, but it was pretty close once I did. I noticed the ice cream/yogurt spot nearby was hopping. There was a person asking for change outside the front door. We were greeted by an enthusiastic host and seated immediately at a booth up front. The server came by within seconds and brought us water and place settings. We decided to get the chips and salsa for an appetizer and a pair of melting chimichangas for entrees. I can't resist some chorizo and steak. My partner got the chimichanga without chorizo and with chicken. The ambiance was colorful with beautifully painted murals on each wall, and the atmosphere was undeniably loud. There were lots of patrons. The place was packed, even at the bar, so your mileage may vary. We received our orders within minutes of each other, so there wasn't much of a wait time. The chips and salsa were homemade, fresh, warm, and delicious (muy rico). Same for the entrees; exactly what I want in a Mexican food restaurant. The chorizo and steak were well-cooked, seasoned, and chopped finely, but not ground. I was in heaven with that chimichanga. We had to take home leftovers. The next night, heated in the oven at 325 for 30 minutes, they were similarly excellent. The night ended without dessert, sadly (too full). However, the server was quick and efficient, and he was always around to fill water and bring anything we needed throughout the meal. Great experience overall. We will definitely return here whenever we have a hankering for some good Mexican food at reasonable prices. I can recommend this place to anyone who appreciates hearty and filling Mexican food.

The ambiance can be described as eclectic and casual. It's great for big groups and relaxed lunches. There's a variety of menu options for food and drink. Our server was nice, but she didn't really answer our questions about the menu or substitutions, which was a little inconvenient. Also, we kept having to ask for utensils and napkins, which made our food get a bit cold. The pineapple habanero margarita tasted like spicy pineapple juice and was pretty expensive. It was pretty, but not worth the money. The food also was really average, but the portion sizes were good for sharing. The huitlacoche tacos were a little bland and soggy, the chicken chipotle tacos had a good sauce but were also soggy and the fajitas did not have enough seasoning. Not a restaurant that I would come back to, but I liked it's proximity to other dessert places nearby.
