My family and I came here after a day of exploring downtown Richmond. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. It’s a family owned restaurant so the food tastes homemade. We would recommend this for anyone in the area. I had the tres amigos: “a taco, enchilada and quesadilla.” There are other options if you would like. My husband had the LaBamba steak which came with peppers and onions, rice and beans. The food was flavorful which we appreciated. The kids meals were a decent size for the price. We paid about 70$ for a meal for 4. Check them out if you’re in the area.

Food was very good and that’s about it. I sat for about 10 minutes before even being greeted. I’m a former bartender and server I can understand things when you’re busy but there was only 4 tables including myself. All the employees seem very rude and like they don’t want to be here. Only got checked on once and waited for 20 minutes after eating to even get a check again it was not busy the restaurant was almost empty!

Exactly what you would expect in a quaint traditional Mexican restaurant in downtown America. The salsa is fire! Maybe slightly spicier than most.
The fish tacos don’t look fancy, but they had awesome flavor! The fish is shredded, not battered, and you add you Pico as desired, which is uncommon in my experience around RVA ($17/3 7/2025). Overall, I enjoyed every bite. Thumbs up.

Update 7 years later: Still one on the best Mexican food places in Richmond, their mole is so so good, and salsa has incredible flavor and fluidity. I only have a picture of chips that I’m reheating at home because I immediately ate everything in sight when I was there. 10/10
Awesome service and really, really good salsa and chips. Huge margaritas too. Usually not too busy.

I ordered the Pollo gringo // no mushrooms w/ corn tortillas and it was amazing !!!! The chicken breast’s were seasoned so delicious. The rice & beans reminded me so much of my mom’s cooking. 10/10 on everything. I also got horchata which tasted just as amazing as well

Amazing mole dishes! Couldn’t get a photo of the flan fast enough before it was halfway gone. Margarita’s were delicious and strong. Alicia Luna is a wonderful server. Armando comes to the table. Will definitely come back!! Almost didn’t leave a review to keep it lowkey but these guys deserve all the business!

We were a group of three and came here to eat. The restaurant was completely empty besides the three of us and it took a while to even be greeted. It took a long time to get our drink orders and our server left our table before we could put in food orders. We sat for another while and decided to go elsewhere. He then began trying to guilt my boyfriend into paying for drinks we DID. NOT. GET. He said that because my boyfriend and he were both Hispanic that they need to “look out for each other”. When he refused to pay for drinks we never got the man threatened to call the police until he paid so we could just leave. Never come here. I can see why it was so empty that day.

The food is fantastic. The service is equally impressive.
The seats inside are uncomfortable at best!
I’ll still go back.

Have gotten from here a good amount of times and the food is always really good but just ordered them on DoorDash and bit into a piece of hard sharp metal that was in my chicken, and then found another smaller piece. It hurt my tooth pretty bad too. Also pretty sure I swallowed a smaller piece prior cause I thought it was gristle from the chorizo or something

Pretty shity place, my family been in there 7 years ago, and we decided to visit it, and you basically get more than 7 year old restaurant without any inside repairs. Princes are really high like for family restaurant,(there pretty good restaurant in my area that is much better and newer and prices are 20% or more lower for bigger plates. They basically charge for everything they have not debatable* tip for 20% of bill, they changed us for chips and guacamole by not saying that they are not on the house, they charged for water also. Our bill for 4 persons was 90 bucks, for me 90 bucks in family restaurant is halarious. Basically I would found much better Mexican restaurant in that area, (I been in one somewhere near Richmond that is extremely good but do not remembered the name of it). So don’t really cost it’s price and time, only good thing about it is that it located near i-95.
