I've gotten lunch at the Arroz RVA food truck a few times and it's consistently excellent. Although…read morea little pricey at $10-11 for a burrito or a bowl, it's a very tasty and seemingly healthier alternative to larger build-your-own-burrito chains (and without the cilantro, for those of you who think it tastes like soap!). When they're busy the wait time can be significant, but the service is friendly and efficient. I also appreciate that they take orders only a few at a time as the meat cooks rather than creating a backlog of orders, so you'll always receive fresh, hot food and also only have to wait a few minutes after you order. My go-to order is the organic grilled chicken bowl with rice, cheese, lettuce, black beans, sour cream, and corn. It's very simple but really allows the flavors to shine. The chicken is well seasoned and cooked perfectly to order, the rice is a great consistency, and the toppings are always fresh.

There are a ton of options on the menu - the usual tacos, enchiladas, etc I went for the tacos, they had all the authentic cuts of meats including lengua (beef tongue) which is honestly the bomb. There is a salsa bar where you load up as much as you want plus a variety of raw veggies. They had free chips that day but the marketing was super confusing. Room for improvement: Orders are punched in manually so the cashier actually got the total wrong and I had to check his math. The amount of chips provided was pretty stingy I get that it's free...but c'mon its chips. Tables and seats could be wiped down more too. The salsas could be labeled to note the spice levels. Some are pretty darn spicy.

Authentic, fresh, flavorful! Great, friendly service and nice size portions. I typically visit the food truck on Staples Mill, though they have several brick and mortar locations around RVA My favorites are al Pastor- sopes, gorditos and tacos The sopes and goritos are crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. Al pastor (pork) is tender, moist and flavorfil. This is a permenant food truck location with some outside seating. Located next to BP gas station.

Once inside and I was greeted with a huge smile and welcome. Instantly I knew I wanted whatever they were serving. I ordered the Carnitas Bowl with pinto beans and all the fixings. When I put the fork in my mouth it was instant gratification. The carnitas were cooked to perfection, it was tender and seasoned just right. The flavors exploded in my mouth and something about the flavors were comforting and the heat from the habanero balanced it out. This is by far the best Mexican dish I've ever had in Richmond and surrounding areas! The prices are great, nice portions, and excellent customer service. This is definitely a hidden gem that I'm excited to share with everyone! This is a must for anyone who's looking for authentic Mexican food. I love it here!

It's a great authentic spot which I was at first worried about bc I'm not a fan of Americanized Mexican food. The only thing I would improve is their salsa that comes with the free chips.

I ordered a birria taco served with cilantro, white onions, and consommé, and it did not disappoint. The flavor of the meat was outstanding, and the portion was so generous I easily made two tacos out of it. The consommé paired nicely with the taco, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. While it was already delicious, adding cheese and sour cream would make it absolutely next level. Overall, the quality, flavor, and portion size really stood out. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

You pay for your food at the same place where you order your drinks and they give you a buzzer that lights up when your food is ready. The food came out pretty quickly, even on a busy Saturday afternoon. I decided on the carne asada tacos, which came with cilantro and onions, and was accompanied by two sauces. The red one was a bit too spicy for my liking, but the green one was pretty good and accompanied the taco flavors well. The cubes of meat were a little dry and the tacos got cold quickly. Other than that, I enjoyed my meal and it paired well with my beer. Overall, this is a great place to come with friends. There were several families there with children as well.

We ordered 6 tacos, the ones I ordered were a birria taco, shrimp taco, and a brisket or pork taco off their special menu I can't remember now. For appetizers, we ordered the salsas and chips. The salsas are made fresh in house and were so good! The order comes with 3, with varying levels of spice. The tacos were large and very filling. Apparently the record at this restaurant is 6 tacos in one sitting. I devoured 2, the birria and brisket/pork tacos. The flavors went together so nicely, the cheese crust was fun and tasty (albeit a bit messy), and the pickled veg was a great flavor and texture contrast. We had to take some food to go. Overall, the ambience is warm and inviting. The decor is eclectic, music is good, and clean. Will come again!
