    First time here and the food was okay, but the service was terrible. The cashier was rude and got upset when I asked to switch salsa.
    Raymundo E.

    I came here for the first time and ordered three tacos (asada, chorizo, and suadero). The food was okay, but the service was terrible. The cashier was rude, more focused on gossiping than helping, and got upset when I asked to switch red salsa for green. As a first-time customer, I expected better.

    two pastors, one cabeza and suadero
    Anthony H.

    Having read in a news article about the Richmond "tacos corridor" or 23rd Street, we decided to venture forth and tried out a few places, as we lived in Richmond so this is literally like in our back yard. First tacqueria we tried was Tacos La Raza. Tucked in a corner of the parking lot of the La Raza Market, this place has a few tables outside, but otherwise it is mainly take-out. They are known for unusual meats, so for our first try we ordered cabeza (meat from cow head), and suadero (rose meat, or the smooth muscle between the cow shoulder and belly), in additional to our usual- al pastor. The pastor was very good. The marinated pork was juicy, just chewy and fatty enough, and topped with a spicy salsa roja. The cabeza was chunky and meaty, full of flavor and also topped with the salsa roja. The Suadero was like a braised brisket, very tender, and very tasty with either the red or green salsa that were provided on the sides. The parking lot gets full by noon with people shopping at the market, so get there early or you will be circling around the blocks looking for parking.

    Okay, average at best! I used to come here a lot but they've been slipping the last few times. The burritos are generally good and you can't go wrong with steak. However the last few times I came here, the meat on the al pastor tacos was super fatty and the tortillas were dry. Also be aware, they charge for extra salsa! But there is still some good, plenty of parking and they're always quick. Also you can't beat their price of $2 tacos.

    Best tacos in Richmond. If you like spicy food they make the tacos perfect for you. Overall the food is just delicious and the service is always great! A gem fr

    3 tacos de alpastor (with the chile tatemado and salsa roja I mentioned) my green grilled onions didn't make it on the picture.

    A hole in the wall! Their alpastor is . Their salsa roja and grilled cebollitas con Chile tatemado on the side are a bonus. I came across this place from a cashier at a taqueria in San Francisco. Lol to say the least. Definitely a local spot for me.

    Lindsey S.

    This place is hella good. Great customer service. 2.50 a taco for good meat. All around Thats great. I got one taco de al pastor and one taco de asada. I'd say the asada is better. The sauce they put on it is really good and not too spicy for a gringa like me.

    Pastor tacos NEVER miss for me! This is my go to taco place hands down. Can't say the same for the asada burrito I had once. I only come here for the tacos.

    no cream so dry
    Melanie R.

    Food is usually good here. However, the last 2-3 times I've visited our orders have came out incorrectly. Asked for 2 tacos de lengua PLAIN and received something differently. Asked for a burrito de carne Asada con crema received a dry ass burrito.

The menu offers a good variety of Mexican inspired dishes, from tacos and birria ramen and burritos. Everything we tried had great flavor and was clearly made fresh. The sauces, seasoning and overall balance of the dishes were definitely the highlight of the meal. We ordered quite a few items including quesabirria, shrimp tacos, a burrito and birria ramen. The shrimp tacos were especially flavorful, topped with a creamy sauce that paired really well with the shrimp. The quesabirria tacos also had that nice crispy texture with the rich birria flavor that people look for. The restaurant itself is clean, organized and well set up, with outdoor seating available which is nice on a sunny day. It has a relaxed vibe where you can sit down with friends and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. The only thing I noticed across several of the dishes was that the portions of meat felt a little light compared to the tortilla or toppings. The flavor is absolutely there, but a slightly more generous portion of meat would make these dishes even better. Overall, solid spot with great flavor and a fun menu. With just a little more generosity on the protein portions, this place could easily be a standout taco spot.

On a Monday afternoon it wasn't too loud, but the Mexican music added just the right touch to the ambience and our waiter's kind encouragement of a little girl's learning Spanish felt very Mexican. My friend was delighted with her shrimp enchiladas. The vegetables were al dente and of superior quality and taste too. The rice wads fluffy with each grain discreet. The pinto beans tasted great. The chocolate cake was so fresh, rich, and decadent we almost couldn't believe it with chocolate syrup on the plate to deepen the chocolate flavor when several layers of iced cake was dragged through it. The food is not cheap and it tastes superb. Each dish deserves to be savored in its perfection. Even the water served very cold with a lemon wedge tasted extremely good. If you want a special experience of exceptionally good food, with equally exceptional service, go to Agave Azul. It's worth every penny and more.

The place is nicely decorated and had about 1 or 2 customers already. 2 dishes came out at the same time while the other 3 came to the table a few minutes later. The food was ok. My parents got the Mi Casa Desayuno. The waitress told my dad they were out of the fruit salad, which was weird, since the place had just opened. I guess they never had fruit in the first place. My brother choked on a large piece of plastic in his Tres Leches French Toast. I told one of the male staff members there was plastic in his dish, and he just said, "Sorry, it was probably the plastic from the bread's packaging," and then walked away. A few minutes later, I saw the waitress and pulled her aside to discreetly tell her there was plastic in my brother's meal. She told me she wanted to see it ( kind of with a tone of 'I don't believe you'), and I brought her over to the dish to show her. She didn't say anything, so I said we would happily pay for the other dishes, but could my brother's meal be comped for the choking hazard? The waitress turned and went to the kitchen, to, I guess, talk to someone about it. The waitress came back out, took the dish away, probably to show whoever was in the kitchen. A while later, she came back out with the check, but did not bother to explain to us what the plan was from there. We did see a 50% markdown on my brother's dish. It was really awkward because the waitress did not have a very pleasant or inviting attitude; she stood there glaring as we reviewed the bill and figured out the payment method. There was a serious lack of communication (not due to a language barrier; we are a Spanish-speaking family) and an unnecessary, blasé and mean demeanor from the waitress on Mother's Day.
