This is one of the few places in Richmond where they don't totally skimp on the amount of meat they put in their burritos. Believe me, I've been to MANY other burrito places around and most all of them just give you a beans and rice burrito with a tiny bit of meat. This place at least gives you an expected amount of meat in your burrito. The location could be considered 'hole in the wall' but that does not bother me and I like to support local small businesses. I will be back here! read more

I was desperately craving a good burrito after having a couple of really disappointing ones lately, and wow... this place delivered. I grabbed a burrito here and ate it inside the movie theater with the red salsa and lemon, and it was so good I ate the entire thing. For context, I'm pretty petite and I usually can't finish a full burrito--but this one? I couldn't stop. It was that good. Super flavorful, satisfying, and just hit the spot in a way I wasn't expecting. At first, I thought it was a little pricey, but once you get the burrito, it makes sense. It's dense, filling, and honestly a big burrito--you're getting your money's worth. I've already been recommending this place to my friends, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for genuinely good food. I'm excited to come back and try more items on the menu. So good. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the East Bay. read more

Ambiance quite not to busy. I was excited to try this place considering the good reviews and food looks great from the pictures . Came on a Wednesday to avoid busy weekend crowds got my favorite chilaquiles and service was ok felt a bit rushed but I by passed that food looks amazing but was lacking flavor their was no seasoning at all and not a well rounded dish I ate half and left the rest however chips and salsa were delicious! I will give it another try but maybe pick something more common like tacos or burritos. read more

I found this spot near my hotel, which was the courtyard in Richmond and when I parked, I actually hesitated to go inside. The shopping center that it's in is pretty much abandoned and the outside of the restaurant wasn't too pleasing to the eye. When I walked inside, it's actually really small with three tables and not too pretty inside. But I wasn't ordering to eat there so it's all about the food. . I was pleasantly surprised with my food. I ordered the quesobirria tacos. They were very generous with the meat and cheese. The shell was so crispy without being oily. It was super delicious. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Still the same flavors! I swear the burritos have gotten bigger (though prices have increased 2-3 dollars since my last visit...). Salsas are a great accompaniment to the burritos. Definitely want to try their Birria Pizza someday! read more

The birria had NO flavor!! I visited this spot on a quiet Tuesday afternoon, and while the service was quick and the portions generous, the food itself was disappointing. The birria lacked any flavor. I even grabbed my own hot sauce from the car, but it didn't make much of a difference. Overall, the experience was just okay at best. read more

Huge portions! Quesabirria tacos and super burrito are my go to items. Not too many places offer double tortilla for the birria tacos!!!

Words can't describe how wonderful my experience has been. I went inside inquiring about getting food for my last minute family dinner party which was later that evening. Jose helped me figure out what I would need and gave me a great deal. I picked up the food at the agreed time and didn't have to wait. My family really enjoyed everything and they did such a great job with packing, labeling, and making sure we had all items we needed for the tacos.I found them on Yelp and agree completely with all the great reviews! This place is a gem and I can't wait to use them again. I appreciate their help in such a short notice. Glad to have found them. And I forgot to mention the most important part, the food was so DELICIOUS! read more

My husband and I were starving after picking up some items that we purchased near by. After a brief Yelp search, we decided to dine at El Sabor De Guadalajara, which is across the street from where Hilltop Mall used to be. The restaurant is cozy with limited seating, so just keep that in mind if you plan on dining here. Upon entering, we approached the cash register where one of the young workers was doodling on one of the ordering sheets. She was quite knowledgeable of the menu and even brought our food out to us once it was complete. The food is delicious! My burrito and my husband's street tacos were well seasoned and quite savory. They give you decent portion sizes as well, so we left full. Overall, El Sabor De Guadalajara has delicious food! Give it a try whenever you are in the area and craving Mexican food! read more

SUPPORT FAMILY OWNED LOCAL BUSINESSES! Wanted to try someplace other than my go to's and stumbled on this gem. Ordering is easy. They have menus on the wall, tv, and a classic menu. We ordered the quesabirria and a veggie burrito. Very fast service. From order to take out, I was gone in less than 15 minutes. For the vegetarians, the rice is made with chicken broth, the beans are vegetarian. Made with fresh ingredients, I even had cucumber in my burrito which added a mind blowing crunch to it. Dine in or take out, cash or card, serves breakfast, parking lot. read more

Delicious food and service. Red sauces are amazing. Variety of beer and drinks. Tortilla chips are really good.

We drove out to this little taqueria not quite knowing what to expect, but also having sligthly elevated expectations based on what we had read thus far. We decided to go for the much talked-about quesabirrias, and each of a chicken taco and shrimp taco. I am no expert on quesabirrias, but all I can wholeheartedly vouch for is the deliciousness of this dish. I guess it's not easy to go wrong with melted cheese on seared toasty tacos enveloping very well seasoned shredded meat. But I tell ya, the flavour profile got amped up when you dip it in the "au jus" (if one can call it that) and have all that spicy greasy juiciness dance with your tastebuds. It's definitely not for those on a diet, but it's ok as a once-weekly taco-treat. Speaking of tacos, the lovely seared chicken in the chicken tacos weren't bad either. I loved the seared diced chicken but it could have used some salsa on it. It was a little dry but full of flavour nonetheless. The plump and juicy shrimp taco was not lacking in succulence. It, however, could have used a little more sear, and a slightly tangier salsa verde. Which leads me, last (as well as the least), to the Chips and salsa. The green salsa was mild and runny, while red had the right texture and packed quite the punch. Alas, most of the tortilla chips were shattered and at least a third of it was just odds and ends. But hey, we didn't come here for the chips and salsa (though it wouldn't hurt to improve those). Come here for the food. Not for the ambiance. Cards accepted. Order at the counter and they will bring the food out to you. There are a couple of tables outside (and it can get pretty fumy inside when they fire up a that griddle). read more

Stawwwwp it .. BIRRIA... and RAMEN??? My two couch potato loves together! El sabor is across from hilltop mall. Small storefront with the most rickety door .. but I digress. I'm sure everything is good here but I can only vouch for the Birria ramen (very pricey with tax at $13.57) which was so dang tender and flavorful with all the additions (onions cilantro etc) comes with a side of hot oil and limes . How did I not know Tapatio made ramen though???? read more

I had the breakfast burrito bacon and chorizo . In all honesty it was a basic breakfast burrito, something I could make at home. Someone in the reviews made it seem like the breakfast burritos were out of this world. I gave 3 stars because they got my order wrong. The pasole looked good, I would go back to try other items on the menu but my search continues for an outstanding breakfast burrito in the Bay Area read more

Ummm WHAT!! This place is a great little Diamond nonchalantly located across from Walmart. Got the Birria ramen and birria torta. Quick and courteous service. Birria is one of the best, if not the best I've had so far. Over the ramen, it adds an awesome flavor, almost like a Latin Pho. The bread for the Torta the perfect crunch and soaked up the flavors. The consume is delicious and I will have to get a side of it with my burrito next time! Likely coming back tomorrow! I come for the food. Ambiance is created in the kitchen read more

Got a regular asada burrito. First bite the meat was super chewy. I would not recommend & don't plan to come back here. Meat was lacking flavor and had a lot of chewy pieces. Beans were average. My favorite part was the rice. Salsas were horrible!! I'm almost positive they added water to it, which took away all the flavor. read more

Workers were nice and some yelp reviews were helpful but for a $16 regular burrito this place was not for me. The carne asada burrito was a nice size but very wet ingredients. The rice was ok, the beans were my favorite but runny and I'm not sure what sour cream they used but it looked more like chipotle sauce. The chips they offer are store bought and very thick and not a good taste. Overall, I'll pass. read more

Judge a burrito by the flavor and quality of ingredients. The tortillas from this place are really good, nice and fresh with a good chew. The breakfast burritos were solid, but the cheese could have been melted more and I prefer the potatoes to be a bit crispier before going inside the wrap. Big chunks of potatoes detract. Overall, I'd get this burrito again with salsa instead of pico and light sour cream. Tip for the business, fry up some of those hash brown patties and throw them in, those slap in brekkie burrito. read more

Ordered enchiladas Al Pastor and was a little concerned when I saw that the chips they serve with the chips and salsa were from that big assed bag of Costco chips, I was anticipating the worse. However, they threw me a curveball and served up solid enchilladas with very tasty beans and rice. I love when places put shredded lettuce on top of the food with sour cream! Hell yeah! Will definitely return for the chillaquilles next time and hope they were just having a chip shortage the day I went, and only using those chips in a pinch. Good chips and salsa are the first impressions and lasting. read more

Food is good here. Sometimes the tacos are the best ever and sometimes just okay otherwise would have been 5 stars.

I have no idea how long this little spot has been here, I'm just glad I found them when I did. We were just driving around, as we often do, searching for tacos. Our regular spot had disappointed us and we were on the hunt for a new taco joint when we stumbled upon this gem. First, they SEASON their meat! Yes, the carne asada, the shrimp, the chicken...all seasoned! What? I'm not even supposed to eat burritos (GF and it is heartbreaking) but DAYUM who can resist? I take the enzyme pill and joyfully eat every bite. The super burrito is the size of a small pet and unlike those who sell huge burritos with ZERO FLAVOR this one is packed with all the right stuff that is distinguishable, yet blends together for the perfect bite. Okay...now for the tacos, I get 4 of them. Two shrimp and two carne asada and I am a happy woman. The price is reasonable and even better if you pay cash (help a small business keep their profit). This is my go to spot and it was wonderful to have Christmas dinner with them! Look at the other folks pics...I ate my food before snapping the photo. read more

Stopped in for a bite to eat. My first time here. Restaurant was very clean. Ordered two chicken tacos and a side of rice. I paid $9.89. Tacos were very good chicken was seasoned well. The side veggies were tasty and fresh. The rice was good. The red salsa was pretty spicy. Green not spicy at all but a good lime flavor which went well with the rice. I will eat here again. read more

This is the best Mexican food spot in the neighborhood. It's not that close. Prices are on the high end but it's worth it. We showed up after 8 on Saturday not realizing they closed at 8 and they offered to make an order for us to go. Super generous. Birria here is fire, salsas are great and overall it's just really good. It's a little off the beaten path in a strip center across from hilltop Walmart but keep looking! Vale la pena! read more
