Tom L.

We were staying down the street, so we HAD to stop in here and grab a drink and some tacos. Loved the vibe. It was busy, fairly loud with fast, friendly service. Their jalapeno infused margarita was a thing of beauty and only $9. So refreshing and had some kick! Loved every sip. Had the potato tacos (shredded style), plus chips and guacamole and everything was super fresh and reasonably priced. We were in an out in less than an hour and could have stayed longer if we were up to more drinks. A real gem. Don't trust the review and see for yourself.

Bruselas Taco!!
Billie E.

Every Sunday night we go here, and every Sunday night we have a great experience. The Bruselas Taco is my favorite, but it's not available often enough! Service is great! Beaumer is a ROCKSTAR!

Carnitas nachos
Stephanie A.

DLB has been one of my go-to spots for over a decade. I will say a few years back, the food wasn't as consistent (I'm sure covid related, supply & demand of items, etc) but they're BACK and better than ever pictured below are the nachos with carnitas and they were truly delish perfectly seasoned, crispy yet moist, and just all around damn good. go check them out!!

Quesadilla
Emily S.

THE best taco spot in Richmond, no questions asked. The food options are all phenomenal - my favorites are the carnitas tacos and chicken quesadilla. The drinks are very reasonably priced and always yummy. Of course, the added entertainment through pool tables are a plus as well. The service isn't the always the friendliest, but I think that's because this is a cool guy bar and the employees try to keep that cool guy persona. All of this to say, this is my absolute favorite Richmond spot. Do yourself favor and go here.

Nachos with chicken
Kandace-Ma'at B.

I've been here before in a big group but I came here today with my sister and a friend. The place gave off good vibes. I ordered nachos with chicken. They were a little dry. I'll probably order them again with extra cheese and crema. I also order the house margarita. My margarita almost tasted like water...couldn't taste the lime or tequila. My sister ordered the classic margarita and hers didn't taste great either; too much lime and was thick.

The Fan

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.

Stopped in on a Monday - with all day happy hour specials for food and drinks. We enjoyed the guacamole, the tacos and the beverages. The tostadas served with the guacamole were a nice and different touch than the usual chips at other places. The flavor on my shrimp tacos exploded with a balance of spices and fresh ingredients. So good!

Celiac- Gluten- free Review…read more Lolita's has my WHOLE heart. Their gluten-free options may not be extensive, but they're enough, and they are done WELL (no dedicated fryers just FYI). Let me also give nuance to my love of Lolita's by saying first and foremost that I had the best cocktail I've ever had here, the Hotboxed Ferrari (Siete Misterios Mezcal, Byrrh, Piña, Campari, Fernet Branca, Cinnamon Deme, Salted Grapefruit Foam). I am rabid for Mezcal. I want to kiss the mixologist who developed this drink, because it is absolutely a balance of flavors that showcases the beautiful and perfect smokiness of Mezcal and good grief I almost fell out after my first sip. *deep breaths* So we just continue riding this wave of joy with the salsa and tostadas. Three types of salsas with unique flavors and different levels of heat. All three incredible. Blue-corn tostadas made in-house. And then a bowl of pozole verde. This damn sopa had me in a chokehold as well because how was everything perfect??? The textures, the flavors...I think I might have forgotten where I was because I got lost in that bowl. Best pozole verde I've ever had. Ordered the Choripapa and Suadero tacos- at this point I really could have ordered just one because your girl was almost at maximum capacity. The tacos are not cheap- ranging from $11-14- but to their credit, they do not skimp on the fillings and the flavors are top tier. Add in those fresh blue corn tortillas and you have a combination that truly did not miss in any way, shape, or form. Only disappointment I encountered the entire night was one of the drinks on the menu not actually being available (the frozen horchata-pumpkin colada), but my bartender made me a horchata coffee cocktail that definitely made up for it. Shout out to her, because she was throwing down on them drinks. So. True artistry experienced throughout the night, from the cocktails to the food. The atmosphere is so cool inside too, definitely a light summery feel which is a nice respite from this crazy winter blast we're experiencing at the moment. Love this spot and highly recommend.

This…read moreMexican restaurant is Jalisco style serving up an incredible diverse offering of food and drinks. Some of my favorites include the Cochi Loco Taco, the Birria Quesadilla, Carne Asada Fries, and I love their chips and queso. They also serve different flavors of agua fresca, and an amazing assortment of fresh fruity cocktails. Everything is aesthetically pleasing, and the looks match the food. I also love that they have a salsa bar where I can serve myself different type of salsa and peppers and onions, etc. The atmosphere is fast paced, but kind of exciting. It's really packed in there pretty much any time you go so keep that in mind It's not a place that you could really bring a bag or relax and work or have a solo date. It's really a place to hang out with friends and have a good time

First, I…read morewalked over to a table she was cleaning to grab it and I dropped my sauces in the process to the table. It fell on the floor and table. She was so kind and was like don't worry I got it. I was cleaning some of the sauce on the floor and she just was like no I got it. Also, I had a toddler that was having a total meltdown. The lady was trying to help me with that! There was a language barrier, but she was just trying to know his age and tried to smile at him. It was also the evening time so, it was busy, but she was just so calm and helpful. I didn't get a name, but you are amazing and hope you are doing well! Tacos were the best I had since my trip to the Bay in '19. Al pastor was perfect. My husband said the chicken quesadilla is the best he's ever had in his life. All the food was what we wanted and it hit that taco craving. Like everyone has said, it's as good as west coast tacos.
