    Tacos
    John H.

    Ate at this restaurant for the first time and was extremely impressed with the food. It's a small store and food can take awhile to arrive (get there early in the evening) but it is well worth it. Ordered the al Pastor, barbacoa, and chorizo and each was amazing. Highly recommend this spot if you're in Blackstone and would even recommend traveling to it if nearby. I will be eating here again.

    In town for a training, and this place was highly recommended by my instructor. This is a small Mexican grocery, which also sells a large variety of authentic, freshly made, reasonably priced Mexican food. I was told typically take out orders are relatively fast. We came with a larger group of eight and dined in, so it took a little bit of time before we got our food. I had empanadas, guacamole with freshly made tortilla chips, and al pastor tacos and everything was delicious. They also have Mexican drinks and paletas, as well as a variety of grocery items. Will definitely be back. Very friendly service. a small parking lot in front of the store. I only wish they also delivered but definitely 5/5 and the best meal in town.

    This food is fantastic and if it was located where I live I would go here once or twice a month. It's better than any Mexican food I've had in Northern Virginia or DC by a longshot. I ate at another Mexican restaurant in downtown Blackstone, and there was no comparison to this. They get busy during weekdays around dinner time, so the wait can be long, but it's worth it. If you get a 4 taco plate, they will let you get two different types of tacos (2 each), but you can't have four or three different taco types. I assume their salsas are made in-house. I particularly liked the hot green salsa. The guacamole is also fantastic and the chips served warm, also likely made in-house. My dining companions were all really happy with their orders. There isn't much ambiance. There are a few tables in the back of the grocery store, and people may need to share tables during busy times, but you can also order to go. I stopped for guacamole to take home on my way out of town.

    Excellent! We had tacos, chips, and guac, and all were great! Would definitely return.

    Absolutely a hidden gem in Blackstone, Virginia! It offers the finest and most authentic Mexican cuisine I've ever experienced.

    Delicious! Quick! Friendly and helpful service! We will definitely return! I'm in town on business and now that I've found this place, I hope to eat here every night, it's that good!

    Guac and chips!

    Had an awesome meal at Las Veracruzanas!!! The fresh guac was delish and the tacos (barbacoa and carnitas) were outstanding!!

Ask for something special in that regard and you won't be disappointed. The salsa flight for appetizer was excellent! They make their own salsas here and the salsa verde is the best I've had outside of Mexico or Southern California. They also got a sweet & spicy peanut salsa that I've never experienced. It was delicious! I tried the burr-ita (burrito/fajitas) for the entree and that was excellent, as well. We had a really nice time talking with Bill. Would recommend this place to anyone!

Having said that, I was pleased with my options here, and was hungry enough to devour both some tortilla chips with chopotle salsa and some indulgent mushroom tacos (albeit not hungry enough to ponder what I suspect would have been a quality dessert). Their vegetarian options are based around mushrooms, but I also got a lot of beans in on the side, and appreciated the freshly cooked peppers on the side. The mushrooms themselves were a little rubbery and I didn't like them as much as I'd hoped, but mixed in with the other ingredients the total result was good, and I was happy to find a place that suited my dietary needs and offered a variety of fresh tastes.

The…read morecustomer service was great from the moment I sat down--I was given a menu right away and asked what I'd like to drink. I ordered the Stone Delicious IPA, which they had on tap. One of the first things I noticed was the number of TVs throughout the restaurant. There were 16 in total, with about 10 of them located around the bar area, making this a great spot to watch sports while enjoying a meal. I also really enjoyed the atmosphere. They had '90s pop-rock music playing with a little soul mixed in, which gave the restaurant a cool old-school vibe. It definitely added to the overall experience. For my meal, I ordered the Pork & Fish, which came with remoulade, slaw, and my choice of one side. I went with the smoked baked beans. I was shocked at how quickly my food came out--it seemed like it was on the table in about 10 minutes! Everything was fresh, hot, and flavorful, and I had absolutely no complaints. This was my very first time visiting, even though I've always heard good things about this establishment. After finally trying it for myself, I can definitely understand what all the good reviews are about. I also noticed they sell T-shirts, which was a nice little bonus. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. Great service, good food, a fun atmosphere, plenty of TVs, and that throwback '90s vibe made for a really enjoyable first visit. 9.5/10 -- I'll definitely be back!

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.

The entire staff was friendly, professional, and customer forward. The ambiance was great - lighthearted but professional. The dining area was very clean and the room was warm and well lit with natural light which made the space feel even cleaner and more inviting. The staff all had matching shirts (it was cinco de mayo so it's possible it was celebratory rather than the norm but it carried well either way) Now to the food. The food was enjoyable. It didn't wow me, but I definitely enjoyed my meal. The chips and salsa were on point. The flavor of the rice and beans were better than many others. The beef taco and enchilada were flavorful enough but had it not been for the salsa from the chips that I ended up adding, it would have been mediocre at best. But here's the thing... the value was not there. The food is overpriced. What you see in the photo was a $20 meal before tip - and his was the cheapest offering on their lunch menu. (The plate was $13 and the side of beans, $5) I had a water otherwise, I would've been closer to $25 for sure. So overall, a good experience. Good food, very good service, very clean and welcoming but the value was the biggest dent in the experience. I'm willing to go back and try other items onto the menu but I'm prepared now. Bring a little extra dinero.
