Probably the best Mexican food in Richmond. The chilaquiles came with a carne asada, the salsa was great, carnitas amazing. Kids loved the rolled tacos and quesadilla. Looking forward to coming back and trying everything else they have.

The staff are all so nice! The food is delicious and authentic, it makes me remember home! A little pricey, but on par for the area. The environment is is fun and inviting. I would definitely go back!

Fantastic! Wow! This was certainly a soup with a zing to it. The flavor was full, and perhaps it was almost too spicy if not for the side condiments to curb the intensity. Delicious tacos as well. Great ambiance and very friendly waiters. Fast service and good feedback; our water cups were never empty. The two sauces provided with the chips were unique—neither was the traditional red salsa. There was a green tomatillo sauce and a red-orange, smooth sauce that tasted incredible when mixed with lime juice.

We went this afternoon, and all we can say is delicious! We got the hibiscus and pineapple margaritas, the el Diablo, tacos de Canastas, shrimp enchiladas and beef enchiladas. EVERYTHING tasted amazing and fresh, including the chips and house made salsas. The service was awesome, and we never had to wait for anything. Definitely our new favorite little spot for Mexican food.

The service was superb as well as the food. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because I ordered a mezcal and was initially given the right one, but when I went to order another, I was not given what I initially ordered. I asked the waiter about it, and he returned the drink to the bar and brought what he assumed was the correct one. I again tried it and confirmed it was again not the same drink. It was then when the waiter went to personally check with the bartender, who informed him that he had ran out of the original mezcal I’d ordered, thus he wouldn’t charge me for this one.

Amazing Micheladas! I like this location better because parking is easier. Food is amazing as usual. I love their chilaquiles and oysters. Everything is fresh and very authentic Mexican food. Try their “gorditas” I strongly recommend!

Great food! Go here for the food, because it’s tasty! We really loved our appetizer, the Tostados de Tinga. So full of flavor and enjoyable to put in our mouths. I had the Carnitas Burrito and it was delightful. It did NOT taste like other burritos from other well known places, it was unique and delicious. Burritos can often taste the same because they are constructed from the same ingredients but this burrito was not the same and I thought it was very well done. Chips were tasty and their salsas were great. I don’t know what they call the red salsa/sauce they brought with the chips (was also on my burrito) but it was really great. A very different flavor profile that I am having a hard time describing. It was creamy and tomatoey and really great. I guess this is a second location to their location in Columbia Heights. We were they only customers in the place for lunch so don’t know how well they are doing in this area but hopefully they are able to stick around. I will say the prices were a bit higher than typical for the area but the quality of the food is also a clear step up. If you want some great Mexican, this is a great place.

The food is really good but make sure you’re not in a rush because service is slow. There are no signs for self seating but When you walk in just grab a table and get their attention because there’s nobody to seat you and you will be standing in the entrance for a while. It took us about 25 minutes to get the chips and salsa but there were also 3 servers for the entire restaurant so I couldn’t get upset. Plus they were nice and it looked like they were also doing the cleaning.

Service has been good. Husband and I had the carne asada, and the herichna (something like a flat bread pizza). The margaritas are authentic, not from a mix.

Best enchiladas I’ve ever had! My husband got the California fish tacos and absolutely loved them too. Best Mexican in the area and very authentic.
