I was in heaven while devouring this amazing plate of food. My son had the Chefs special and it came with flour tortillas and the tortillas had been griddled which brings out an amazing flavor so of course we had to order another bunch of flour tortillas so I could have some too. Taking the 30 seconds to griddle the tortillas makes all the difference. The service was exceptional and gracious! We will be back much sooner this time around.

The interior is clean and minimal but they squeeze in a full bar and a replica of their first food truck where it all began. They have a few dishes that sell out on the daily. Everything is made fresh to order. They have a salsa bar to accompany your food orders. This establishment is run by folk who love what they are doing and it shows. Also, the price points are awesome, well below any other Mexican restaurant, along with better tasting food. It's a win-win. Service was SUPER fast but they weren't very busy while we were there. It's not a fancy date night place but it's a delicious date night place! Extra points for an extremely clean bathroom.

We stopped in here for the first time Saturday evening. It's very cool inside. Several murals and…read moreneon signs, plenty of TV's and nice bar area. They bring out chips to your table and you choose your own toppings/sauces from the Salsa Bar. I had the Birria Especial and it was delicious. Probably the best I have had in our area. My wife had two Beef Enchiladas. Our daughter had the Arroz Con Pollo and her friend had two Beef Tacos. The service was very slow the entire time we were there. It was not that crowded when we were there so we couldn't figure out if our server was really slow or the kitchen was backed up. We will give it another try but they do need to work on their service times.

Drove out to Richmond to meet some friends for dinner…read more We ordered some wings and choriqueso for an app 10/10. I always like to try wings at Mexican restaurants and they are always great. My friend ordered the molcajete and everything was super tender and it came with a house sauce at the bottom of it to give it extra flavor. It has a variety of meats and fried cheese and a cactus piece on it. Definitely big enough for two and unique! I ordered the carne asada, my piece came with more fat than I'm used to. Although the flavor was great. I paired it with a michelada and it came out a little spicy. The service was great they were on top of it. The inside of the restaurant was gorgeous too, very colorful and cozy. Seats were comfortable, overall a good dinner experience.

We moved down here from IL and we were looking for a good local Mexican restaurant. There are alot…read moreto choose from in Richmond. Unfortunately, even though this place always seems to have alot of cars in the parking lot, it was not good. The server was really nice - fast and friendly. The indoor decor was pretty cool. But we went there for good mexican and the food was really bad. It wasn't even mediocre as I can make better mexican at home. We had the Guadalajra and the Vegetarian Combo A along with the Beef/Chicken Taco. The food was overwhelmingly bland. Every single item lacked flavor. As if they didn't season anything at all. The beans were a pile of mushed beans, with no actual bean chunks and no flavor. No garlic, no salt, no butter - no flavor at all. Same with the chalupa and the enchilada. The enchilada sauce was bland, almost like a base tomato sauce. The meat didn't have any flavor at all. The Guadalaraja (chicken burrito and chicken enchilada) - which hubby had said that his was pretty meh. He also said he didn't need to go back there again. And later finally admitted it was pretty bad. Sorry, but I can't in good conscience recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We got seated immediately and the Homemade Salsa and warm Tortilla Chips hit the table right after we sat down. My wife ordered the Chicken Fajita and I had the Quesabirria.

They have a very wide selection of lunch and dinner options and it seems that each time that I try something new. My wife's go-to is the chicken chimichanga which never disappoints.

Served with rice, beans, and tortillas), or the California Deluxe Chicken (Bed of rice topped with grilled chicken mixed with California vegetables, topped with cheese sauce), to the traditional burrito or taco salad. They also have a 3 Amigos which has a chicken chimichanga, taco, and a chili relennos. I always enjoy a side order of their fresh fried jalapeños and their guacamole is very tasty. Richmond has quite a few Mexican restaurants to choose from, but this one is our favorite. Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Great prices. Never disappointed!
