Service-Great,Fast, and accommodating Drinks- Mediocre, not sure if it's the mix or the wash. All three margaritas tasted like cleaner Food- Hot, Quick, but lacking flavor and most of the dishes were over cooked almost as if it was premade then reheated instead of cooked to order. read more

Mexican food is the best and Mexico food is even better. We've been here numerous times, but will be highlighting our favorites. We've always ordered the Shrimp and Crab enchiladas and the Chicken Yucatan. Both are delicious and bursting with flavors. The beef taco salad was something new I tried. I would have preferred the pieces to be cubed and not in strips. Their complimentary chips are alright, but they need to improve the salsa. It needs to be chunky. I always ask for their white sauce. Overall, I love coming here and would love to try other dishes too. read more

After 12 hours of driving and nearly two weeks straight of seafood, my soul was screaming for a margarita and melted cheese--and Mexico Restaurant delivered like a hero in queso-covered armor. We rolled in around 9 PM, weary and hungry, and were thrilled to find this spot right across from our hotel and still open. We grabbed seats at the bar and were instantly greeted with menus and warm hospitality. The second we said "yes" to chips, salsa, queso, and ice water, it felt like it all magically appeared. We ordered the strawberry jalapeño margaritas, and while they took a few minutes, they were worth the wait. Sweet, spicy, refreshing--my kind of trifecta. I loved the heat, but my boyfriend? Let's just say he was channeling Alicia Keys because his lips were on fire. (Zero complaints from me--I could've taken even more spice.) Food-wise, it hit the spot. He got the chimichanga, which was perfectly portioned and flavorful. I went à la carte with a cheese quesadilla and a cheese enchilada. Like I said I needed some melted cheese in my life lol... The enchilada was just okay, but the quesadilla? Delicious--especially when dunked in their zesty salsa with a sneaky little kick. Not sure why this place has anything less than glowing reviews, because our experience was solid across the board. Friendly service, tasty food, and a post-road-trip vibe reset. If you're nearby, don't sleep on it--especially if you're spicy-marg-curious. read more

Great food great service restaurant is very clean. Would recommend to any friends or family of all ages.

First and last time here. The positives- we were seated quickly and the waiter was nice. I think that's where it ends. The happy hour only includes a small lime margarita. Worst happy hour ever. The margaritas weren't very good, lots of mix. One of the people at my table had something mysterious and their drink-it was replaced. My arroz con pollo didn't come with any queso sauce or tortilla. When I asked for the queso sauce they brought it promptly then charged me for it. The chicken was flavorless. It was the worse ACP I've ever had. I'll never be back. read more

This is a place that white people go that are craving Mexican food but hate actual Mexicans and you can tell by their bland food and ketchup tasting salsa. Don't order anything that requires tortillas because they charge you 4 bucks for 2.... I can get 10 handmade fresh ones at Shelly's comida for $4. ¡larga vida El Nopal! read more

We traveled with our 12U baseball team to Richmond and needed a place to dine that could accommodate 30 people on a Saturday evening. I called a week in advance to secure the reservation and the restaurant had everything ready to go when we arrived! We had a total of 12 families which meant 12 checks and the server managed it brilliantly! There was no issues with our order or checks! The food was so yummy and all the drinks were great! We cannot wait to return! read more

First time trying this place. We placed a to go order. All of the orders were wrong - mostly missing items which we paid for. The meat was steamed. The supreme steak nachos had zero toppings and nothing packed up separately. The tacos were just chicken - nothing anything else. It was supposed to be refried beans. Instead it's pinto beans with a bit of cheese and no heads up that is what's coming. Stale chips. Bland queso. Not worth the drive! Just an awful first experience. read more

Always come to this Mexico Restaurant when we are in Sandston. Nice clean, good food and drinks.

I was there on a Sunday night! Lot's of TVs with all the football games. Hot chips and salsa came quickly, and I liked the way the salsa was presented. I had the blackened Tilapia with veggies and rice, but most of the veggies were fried potatoes. The Tilapia was good, but very salty, But the service sitting at the bar was good. read more

There are 3 Mexican restaurants within a 2 mile radius on this end of town. We haven't tried Mexico in 20+ years so decided to get takeout order from them tonight as one of the other restaurants had a snake fall through the ceiling and the other one has consistency/quality issues. While my daughters appetizer cheese quesadilla and cheesy rice were ok, our chicken enchiladas and chicken burrito was extremely dry with hardly any green sauces or queso sauces on them. Without that extra moisture we couldn't choke them down. Ay caramba read more

It was still very good. Service was better than last time. Server Noticed drinks needed refilling. Without our asking. Got my usual chicken enchiladas. And had to take home one leftover enchilada. Spouse got the beef taco and beef enchilada. Both came with Spanish rice. We got a side of guacamole. It was a tasty addition to our meal. Overall a relaxing and good meal. Ended with a flan that we shared. It was a pleasure to finish with this sweet dessert. read more

Asked for a plain steak burrito, and got a burrito sized enchilad. Meat was chewy and tasted mediocre.

Went last night had good meal n couple beers, ordered dessert flan came back with it in bag guess they wanted my high top table? Had go back hotel and eat with my fingers no fork in bag read more

First time ordering from here and the food was super flavorful. The chori pollo has just enough spice to keep you interested. The salads and ships are also tasty. My spouse is enjoying his steak with any grilled vegetables. We both with we had a little more queso on top of our food, but otherwise this was worth it! We also ordered through DoorDash and our food was still nice and hot! read more

We were staying at the Fairfield Inn and saw the big Mexico Restaurant sign and decided to stop in for margaritas and a late lunch! We loved our margaritas and enjoyed our food! Our waiter Jesus was very friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating and a bar area are available for dining! There's a wide range of food selections available for everyone's liking. I would definitely visit again while in the Richmond area. read more

Pretty average. Very nice people. Had the enchiladas. Just ok. Beans and rice were average. Chips and salsa pretty good. Just average and lots of food, so I suppose people go there for the value? Probable would not go back. read more

I wasn't expecting much from a restaurant right next to my airport hotel, but I was really pleasantly surprised. I ordered take out but when we went in the manager (I'm assuming) greeted us very kindly and you could tell he was on top of it. Our food came out hot and right on time and it was delicious! The portions were also huge which would be great for leftovers. I wish I wasn't just passing through or I could've stretched my meal out for 3 days of leftovers! Prices were wonderful too. If I lived here I would go there often. Didn't see much of the inside past the host stand but it looked very cute! read more

A surprisingly nice atmosphere and setting greet you when you walk in. The excellent service and delicious food keep you there. Freshly made guacamole is a must have. Highly recommend if you enjoy delicious Mexican! read more

Sat on the patio on a beautiful night. The restaurant was quite busy for a Tuesday night but was immediately seated and served in a timely manner. Huge servings. Had the Tacos Al Pastor: wow! The flavor! I'll be back if I'm ever back in Richmond! read more

Bless your heart Richmond if this is the best Mexican y'all have to offer. The server was great; very attentive. The chips and salsa were good. Kudos to those. I got the beef enchilada combo and it was very sub par. Thankfully I was hungry, so I did eat it. Not a lot of flavor in any of it. The enchiladas were quite mushy. The rice was so bland; you'd do a lot better getting a package of Mexican rice from the grocery store and using it. And the beans were just, meh. Not sure if we're just spoiled in Alabama with really good Mexican restaurants on every block or what. Not really sure why the margaritas were green, since lime juice isn't, but they weren't bad for the $5 happy hour price. Here's wishing you better things to come Richmond, Va. read more

Burrito fajitas and Long Island were amazing!!! Very clean and well kept and the service is top tier!!!

This restaurant is better than its sister restaurants. The staff is friendly and remembers you. They have an awesome selection of tequila, and I highly recommend the Cadillac margarita! It's made with love! As for the food, it's typical American Mexican but it's cooked right. The chicken isn't dried out, and the shrimp is cooked to perfection. I recommend most of their menu! But highly recommend the arroz con pollo, and all the tacos. Taco Tuesday, and happy hour makes this place a great budget play read more

This was the latest restaurant tried of this local chain. Loved the white sauce, good was tasty but not exceptional. Service was at best acceptable. Surprised that we had to ask three times for the soft drink ordered since the place was empty at 11am. Will go to other locations in the future, not this one. read more

I got stuck eating here with colleagues one night. I dreaded not having any vegan options, but Mexico Restaurant goes the extra mile and provides labeled vegetarian options (most of which can be made vegan easily enough). I got the Potato Taquitos ($9) and liked them---you can't go wrong with a fried tortilla stuffed with potatoes. The white rice, lettuce and tomato on the side don't add much, but they do give decent, free chips and salsa. Come to Mexico Restaurant for simple, reliable, inexpensive food. read more

I can't believe I haven't left a review for Mexico before. I have been coming to the Sandston location since I was a kid, at least 25 years. G at the bar/outdoor area is the absolute best, he feels like family at this point. He is part of the reason we are regulars at Mexico! You can't ask for faster or better service than Mexico! And all the food is amazing! I have a hard time deciding what to get most times I go. Some of my absolute favs: Steak taco salad (with the tortilla shell) #17 combination cheese enchilada/bean burrito Shrimp quesadilla (dinner menu) Arroz con Pollo w/ extra Queso Fish tacos w/ Spanish rice and refried beans Shrimp tacos w/ Spanish rice and refried beans (not fried shrimp, but still amazing!) BTO california burrito All with a blue moon on draft, always! Also ask for the white sauce too when they bring you salsa! All of the servers and staff are absolutely amazing, and the manager Ramone is so hands on and takes such great care of all the customers! Seriously can't ask for better service! read more

Ok let's start. Very bad. 1st u have 2 "request" white sauce, which is mayonnaise based, and tastes like just mayonnaise only. Disgusting. 2nd, margarita was not frozen. 3rd, ordered taco salad per usual, and there was an INSANE amount of jalapenos on it. I'm talking a handful! Trying 2 tear me up? And 4th, when I tried 2 tell the manager all this, he just brushed me off as if nothing was wrong. Worst Mexican restaurant I have ever been 2, and would never go again. Would have given 0 stars but not an option. read more

I am from out of town and his was close to the hotel. The bar is a separate side than the main restaurants. I sat at the bar and was the only one on that side. I was promptly greeted with some warm fresh chips, white sauce and a small bottle of salsa to pour into a dish. I never ran out of salsa-great idea. It was spicy but not over the top and tasted fresh. I'm not a vegetarian but I ordered the burrito loco which has sautéed veggies inside and is topped with queso. The veggies were a bit soggy and I expected more cheese inside and on top but wasn't bad. I wouldn't get that again but I would try something else. The rice was fluffy and flavorful. My margarita glass never went empty. Service and food was great. If they turned down the lights a bit it would be more cozy. I'll be back! read more

I am in town for the one night staying at a neighboring hotel! I saw the restaurant from my hotel room and decided to order the Taquito Supreme on the lunch special. It was DELICIOUS.

Mexico Restaurant - Santa eats here! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Sandston, Virginia

Food was quality and good. Service was dreadfully slow. Bill was presented on a hand-held device; was not able to get an itemized, printed receipt. This was important because I felt the tab was too high. We paid and left. Beware going in - keep track of what you spend and perhaps insist on a printed receipt. Email receipt doesn't work, because once you're gone from the restaurant, there's no resolving the pricing dispute. We were there Saturday evening during "Happy Hour", however, the drinks didn't seem reasonably discounted. All in all, I don't have a "warm-fuzzy" about the place. read more

In town for business and staying at a nearby hotel when I had a craving for Mexican food. It was not hard to spot this restaurant since the word, "Mexico" jumped out at me. I visited with a colleague of mine and we were promptly seated. The restaurant had a great Mexican feel/flair about it. We were served promptly with chips and salsa and some type of ranchy dressing. Not sure what the creamy white dressing was since I don't eat it, but my colleague said it was good. I was surprised and happy to find they had veggie tacos on the menu. I ordered that minus cheese with a side of black beans. The order came fairly promptly which was great as we were devouring and filling up on chips. My tacos were very good; and, the black beans delicious. I would certainly go back the next time I am in town. So why the 4 star instead of 5 star, you say? Well, we felt rushed and even though I said no cheese, they put cheese on the black beans of all things. The server was in such a rush, I'm not sure if he completely heard me when I said, NO CHEESE although there was none on the tacos. Anywho, had he slowed down and cheese would have been absent, this would have been a 4 1/2 to 4 3/4 star experience. read more

Best Mexican food around. The food is authentic and delicious. The prices are also the best in town.

We arrived kind of late and didn't really think we would be able to get served but we were. Greeter was very professional. All diners were spaced out well. Waiter was quick, took drink order then food. I swear the food was 2 us in 15 minutes. It was AWESOME.We Everything tasted so fresh and it was pipping hot. (CAUTION DON'T TOUCH THE PLATE). It was date night and we will be going back! read more
