First off, you're always in the right spot when ethnic grandmothers are enjoying a meal there too. While I wouldn't call it Miami, it's definitely hot. We had the birria and carne asade (charcoal?) tacos with rice and beans. Also a Mexican 40 and jarrito. I would say the flavors rival some of the best places by the border. Their sauces are great and the chili oil is ON FIRE!!! I wish they had radishes for condiments but Richmond may not be ready for that.

Not sure why it took so long for me to get here. Tacos are good…read more Had the cochiloco tacos, al pastor, and carne asada. They didn't have the campechano when we visited. They have an open condiment bar which I'm not too fond of but it seems traditional so no impact on my score here. The green salsa is the best. The peppers and onions were great to have as well. If I come back again I'd get the carne asada and hopefully try the canpechano or something else. With that said I'm not sure I'd be back. Maybe I'll get some hate for this but Chicken Fiesta has a great carne asada taco and I'd rather go there if i want a carne asada taco. It's a nice place. Packed on Saturday shortly after they open.

Holy smokes! Visiting friends in RVA, we are eager to sample the food scene. Busy place and they…read morewere thrilled that we scored a reservation for a large party. The waitress (Camra?) was super nice and thoughtfully visited both ends of the table to get the orders correct. The gang started with some gorgeous creative cocktails. I had a lovely mint tea (hot, Tazo). We shared guacamole which certainly has a kick! The chips were crispy, thicker and prefect for the dip and tasting the trio of sauces. The regulars highly recommended the tacos and the sides. I had the broccoli; crisp, partly blackened, a bit light on the seasoning but blossomed with the darkest red sauce. The rare taco, amazing, truly rare. Seared on one side, the seared side very spicy. I had the beet salad side. Small cubes of beets in a creative sauce. A friend had the sweet potato and that was magnificently spiced! I must go back and try more!

La Dona was a welcome surprise of authentic and delicious Mexican food. We tried the Al pastor…read moreand chicken tacos. Loaded with flavor each was a dish we will be back for. The Al pastor was actually grilled to get that charted flavor- something many restaurants fail to do. Plates are of course accompanied by a couple types of red or verde salsas.

A smaller restaurant there is seating for approximately 8 different parties up to six. No outdoor seating. Definitely recommend. Will see you there. Happy eating!!

Okay, maybe skip the last one. We love this place for the tableside guac, the ample portions of well seasoned chicken / beef / beans/ cheese / shrimp inside of the various offerings. We love the salsa they serve with chips, which is obviously house made as the heat level and amount of cilantro change from time to time. We love the manager checking every table. The prices are great and so is the service. If spicy stuff is your thing, I recommend the tacos a la diabla, and be sure to add the sauce to them. You will thank me.

I recently went to Pepe's Restaurant with a large party and tried the fish tacos. The service was…read morereally good like honestly the staff was very attentive and nice the whole time so I do want to give them credit for that. But the food just wasn't it for me. The fish tacos were pretty bland and the fish itself had a really strong taste that I didn't like at all. I also asked for light coleslaw and they gave me a lot of it so it kind of overpowered everything in the taco. I also got a sweet tea and it just didn't taste good to me like it tasted kind of off so I barely drank it. I didn't say anything at the time because I was with a big group and I wasn't paying so I just let it be but overall I was kind of disappointed with the food. The service was definitely the best part though.

Let me start by saying the atmosphere here is almost always pleasant. Whether you're picking up…read morefood or dining in, they send you off with a friendly "see you tomorrow," which always leaves a good impression. My go-to order is the Quesadilla Del Mar without onions, and I have never been disappointed. When I dine in, I usually ask for queso on top. If I'm getting takeout, I order the queso on the side. Either way, the queso is top tier. A couple of small opportunities for improvement: Parking can be tough when the place is packed. Also, the complimentary chips, salsa, and white sauce for takeout could use some balance. You get two servings of chips but barely enough salsa for one chip, which feels a little off. I'm actually quite in awe of this and the main reason I can't give them 5 stars. You're already great. Don't compromise that by being stingy on salsa when give so much in your dishes. Overall, this is my go-to spot for Mexican food. I don't even live close, but I gladly make the drive every time.
