Let me start by saying the atmosphere here is almost always pleasant. Whether you're picking up food 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. read more

First time here. Good lunch specials. Food came out very quickly. Service is friendly. The food was decent- chicken a little under seasoned. Chips and salsa were yummy. Ambience was typical. Parking is a bit limited. I would return. read more

I went here for a farewell dinner before moving to start a new job. My party went during the middle of the week, but the atmosphere was very comforting! The people were very nice and hospitable, even with being short staffed. Since they do happy hour from 3pm-7pm, it only felt right to order their Blue Margarita which was absolutely HUGE! I ordered their Quesa Burris Tacos which were pretty ok, a bit dry and not a lot of flavor in the birria broth, but definitely still something to try if you're interested! Definitely would return to try other menu options! read more

The service is exceptional. Chips, salsa and drinks were always full. The portion sizes are huge so go hungry. I went for the $1 margaritas on Thursday , if you have more than three don't drive lol. Great spot for happy hour or your favorite Mexican dish any day of the week. read more

Great place when you're truly hungry!! The food is fantastic and the portions are large!

The food was okay a little bland but their guac was good until i found out it was $13 for a thing of guacamole and they don't tell you that when you get it and I could not find the price on the menu. Five dollars is already pricey for guacamole so 13 is a little ridiculous read more

I almost didn't do a review of this restaurant because I don't want to give away my favorite Mexican spot in Richmond. The enchiladas del puerto are amazing and I recommend that everyone tries them. The service here is great and everyone is so friendly. This is my go to, casual Mexican restaurant in Richmond! read more

Tres Machos - Enchiladas del Puerto - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Tuesday 3/15/22 4:17pm I love the outside building colors as well as the inside decor and colors. Mexican restaurants are always so colorful and happy. My waitress however, didn't seem so happy but we will work around that. 100% efficient, 10% personality. Salsa is 99% of the time too spicy for me. I wish they served a mild option. I end up always having to order cheese dip for my nachos. An additional $5 ugh. This restaurant had spicy salsa (too spicy for me) and the consistency was like baby food. I prefer chunky salsa. While at work I already decided I was going to try the guacamacho. I love fresh guacamole and it has a little twist coming with four chicken flautas topped with sour cream and cheese. This was just "ok" it looks really nice. The flautas were dry on the inside but I can see the potential. This is definitely an appetizer for 2 or a meal for one. The sweet tea was the bomb!

Okay, I'm really outing our fave secret family dinner spot, but the Tres Machos crew deserves the love. First of all, they are SO great with kids. Everyone there is so friendly and helpful-- a million stars. Second tip: happy hour is a good deal. Definitely check it out and enjoy the hilarious videos they play on the TV's as an added bonus And finally: the meal deals are awesome! You can get all combos of delicious eats for a very affordable price. We've also had great experiences with the kids portions and the burrito options. Enjoy! read more

Tres Machos - Forgot to take the picture before eating‍... fresh quacamole - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Today I was just reminded why I don't come here anymore. 1. I ordered the mixed fajita nachos and received fajitas . While I told them their error the lady told me I was wrong in what I ordered ! Since I was over it and I already waited AND PAID I told them just add some cheese sauce on the side and I'll be on my way but she kept saying no. Which is weird bc I'm trying to work with you after you upcharged me and gave me the wrong food?? So she finally decided to remake it but not give me the refund on the difference!!! On top of it it is not the nachos I have ordered in the past... It was so bland and they gave me COLD cheese and some random lil sauce on the side?!No just no. read more

Three cheers for Tres Machos... not five. I came with a small group and we were welcomed and seated quickly. My friend ordered a happy hour margarita that was served in a huge glass, more like a bowl! She said it was strong and tasty. We ordered carnitas tacos and quesadillas. While they weren't the best I've had, they were satisfying. The tortillas and queso was pretty good, but the cheese could've been a bit thicker. The price matched the food and the service was average. The atmosphere was festive, colorful and cheerful. There's another Mexican restaurant nearby, and I will say, I preferred this one. Parking is a challenge... few spaces in front, and down a steep alley will lead you to a few in the back. It's kind of creepy back there so be on your toes. Three is the theme here, so three stars it is! *** read more

I have hearing rave reviews about these barria tacos, who doesn't want food that needs to be dipped in something! I was not disappointed AT ALL, very flavorful and delicious. The restaurant was a part of a brewery so they didn't have the normal fountain drinks but that was understandable. My family enjoyed their food as well everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly! I will definitely visit again and try other things on the menu and maybe a drink or two !! I told the staff this was my first time visiting and they were very patient and explained everything to me. read more

I love love love Mexican food so much so that I could literally eat it every single day. After driving by Tres Machos a gazillion times I finally gave in and decided to give it a try. The pros -They have a unique menu that features lots of different items including dishes with crab & lobster. - the size of the booths are very spacious so in case you get a little wild with all the carbs and get bloated you'll still have plenty of room. - the staff is amazing!! They were friendly and kept the drinks flowing. Cons - the happy hour price of a margarita was 9 bucks which seems a little on the high side for a happy hour deal. - the parking lot is teeny tiny and very dark on the side of the building at night time. - the chips weren't very good. Did I eat them?? hecks yea I did!! Was I hungry?? Oh you know I was!! Doesnt mean they tasted good. Overall I enjoyed my time at Tres Machos but if we are re being honest and doing an apples to apples comparision here Tres Machos lands in the middle of the pack and gets an average 3 star rating. read more

Tres Machos - Bar area - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I stopped in just for the quesabirria tacos and wasn't too impressed. You get three tacos and a scoop of rice for $12.50. The tacos were a bit bland, even after dipping them in the consommé. However, they were a decent size. There was barely any cheese inside, which the picture shows lots of cheese. I also had a medium house margarita for happy hour (3p-7p), which was $8.99. That's the regular price I pay for margaritas NOT on happy hour special. The large was $10.99. It was ok. I've definitely had better! The service was as expected. It wasn't too busy and they only had one server. Overall, I was a bit disappointed and probably won't go back, especially for happy hour! FYI: one of the other reviews talk about it smelling like fabuloso inside.... It's TRUE! Very overpowering! read more

I wanted to like it more, but neither the fish tacos nor the chicken empanadas were all that great. Rice wasn't very flavorful. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. I'll give them another shot, but this wasn't a great first impression. It DID smell like bleach when I went in to pick up my order. A plus during COVID! read more

Food was very bland. Drinks were mainly juice. I got the Birria tacos and they had no flavor. Our server was very nice though.

I came here because of their great reviews and I can't say enough great things about this place. I loved my servers. They were so sweet and attentive. I didn't order the guacamole, but the people next to me did and they make it fresh, in front of you! My meal was $11 and huge. I saved the rest for dinner. I loved the amount of effort you could tell the staff was putting into your experience at their restaurant. I will recommend this place to people! read more

Tres Machos - 3 Piece Sopes - Mexican Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Came here for margaritas. They were terrible...fake lime flavor that tastes like a melted green popsicle. It didn't taste like there was a lick of tequila in it. It also came from one of those plastic machines that pushed the juice around. It had what appeared to be radioactive sludge in it. Oh and the price, $8.99 for happy hour. Hard pass. Stick to Lalos. Although I can't comment on the food, I can't help but think that the many positive reviews are from the fact that they offer a 10% discount if you show the server a review that you write on Google, Facebook or Yelp. read more

Food was average. Pretty bland - from the salsa to the drinks to the fajitas... Maybe we ordered the wrong food? The service was good and friendly, but not sure if we will come back. Sorry read more

Stopped by today for lunch with my lady. We both really enjoyed our meals. The food was flavorful and there was a ton of it. The prices were very reasonable and the service was fast and friendly.

Went here on a Friday night and it wasn't overly busy so we were seated immediately. After ordering we got our drinks, mine was wrong at first but then corrected. It was kinda strange because throughout the night we had three different people waiting on us. We waited a very long time to get our food and by the time we got it we were so full on chips and drinks that we could've done without the food. I was impressed with some different options for vegetarian food. My meal was decent but not a ton of flavor, my husbands looked really good but he barely ate any because he was full. Overall if I was already in the area I might try it again but won't go out of my way to go there. read more

Service was quick and friendly and the food was amazing. My new favorite place! Will definitely be back-

Stumbled on this place looking for some decent Mexican food that isn't overpriced. We have only order from Tres Machos on DoorDash, so this review doesn't say anything about the place itself. However, we love the food here . I usually get the beef chimichangas and my boyfriend enjoys the burrito texana. The salsa is fresh, and the chimichangas are still crispy and fresh even after being boxed up! Sometimes we even splurge and get the nachos extreme with chicken or beef and that's a whole meal alone! Give this place a try, even if it's takeout! read more

This is a HIDDEN GEM. Very attentive and friendly staff!! Waited 30 seconds to be seated. Chips, salsa and white sauce came out within seconds of sitting down. Lunch Steak Fajitas were MIND BLOWING GOOD. Ill be back for lunch very soon, could be even tomorrow. One recommendation: Maybe do a Frequent Lunch Visitor Card. Eat lunch 10 times and get a free Soda or Chips with Queso. Nothing that will break the bank but will give customers an added incentive to go. read more
