Went here based on a review on the Lakeside FB page picture. Ordered the, cannot spell and dont feel like looking up, fried pork bites (maybe belly). Unfortunately, ours were way over fried. Very dark brown and a hard chew. If not over cooked; would be awesome! We ate a couple but left the rest. The place is small and very clean. Very nice staff. Real coke, in the bottle, with a cup of ice. Cane sugar... it is different, if you didn't know. Therefore, no refills here. Also, you do not get free chips and salsa just for sitting at a table. You will pay about 5.00 for chips and salsa, you want cheese dip? Another 5.00. Fine. Do you want authentic flavor? (My opinion) Shed your Americanized view of hispanic foods. Look at the menu, you get the chance to eat things that you've only seen on the Food Network or if you were in an hispanic country. We also had a taco salad. Lovely and crispy. The bottom layer was some hot red sauce (both in heat and nicely spiced - so delish, not killer) - rice, shredded cheese, steak bits (chix or shrimp is also an option) iceberg lettuce (not uniformly shredded), guac, sour cream, few diced tomatoes and a bit more shredded cheese (mostly yellow - assume cheddar but to little to tell)Bottom line. The taco salad was awesome - get a fork-ful of it all. All of the flavors blended. We loved that the steak was charred but still tender. Tiny diced bites of diced steak, but it was good! We would have like a medium cook, yet charred - but even fully cooked, they know how to slice the steak, so it was not chewy. After you eat here.... Go a couple doors down for the in-house made ice cream. Try the pine nut "pinion' - or any that strikes your fancy. Put it on your list.

Went on Valentine's Day . It was good ! Wish the Al pastor was a litttlllee more sweet tho. I appreciated the sauces . The sandwich my husband got was huge and filling! A little pricey for what I thought we were getting (prices were different on the website/pictures) they increased.

I was skeptical because they are in front of a house but an all honesty their tacos ???? are delicious and I also tried there tortas and they are on point as well,I have another taco down the street Taqueria Sinaloa but they got sloppy with their food.I rather go to Tacos la Cabana and they also sale menudo and birria on Saturday mornings.TRY THEM you will not be disappointed and I am a picky eater so I was surprised I liked them.

The absolutely best authentic Mexican food I ever had! The Chips were warm and salted perfectly. The chicken burrito was amazing! Definitely coming back!
If you want genuine Mexican food, this is the place. Nice atmosphere with ample off street parking. Very attentive service and wonderful food with generous servings. If you choose a crane (beef) dish, it isn't ground beef but cubed chunks of steak. This was a wonderful surprise.

WOWWWWWWWW THE GREATEST TACOS IN RVA!!!!!!!!!! The only other taco place I would go would be taqueria panchito for their birria tacos or their al pastor but let me tell you about the CHIPS AND GUAC AND SALSA HERE!!! *drools* so hot and fresh and crunchy!!! The guac has this limey kick and it's creeeeamy!! My favs are the cabeza lengua THE BRISKETTTT and the al pastor. The plaintains are air fried??? Not deep fried idk hkw they make them but they taste like fries but better bc of the chilli powder and some sort of meat sauce they give you to dip it in. The portions are MASSIVE!! I cannot wait to return and I hope to see u there

It was perfect and unpretentious. Affordable and delicious. A+. One of the best spots in the metro Richmond area. The cactus tacos won me over. A+i went alone.You should go alone, too...because it's hard not to scarf down this food like an animal! So good, you'll forget to use your manners. A+

The spot has the authentic Mexican tacos that you are looking for. I was very impressed with the flavors and the freshness of all the ingredients. My wife and I had the squash and zucchini tacos, and my son had a chicken burrito. They are super friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself is cozy and nicely decorated. We will definitely be back to try out more of the very extensive menu. Go there now!

Holy Cow how I love this place and the new ownership!Was on Staples Mill Rd, OTW to a massage therapy appointment and was self-lamenting because I was driving by a favorite Mexican food & legit taco spot that I love/d with previous owners, (original review from 2018), and more so now. I lamented because I've been on a fairly strict Keto diet, & know I can't use my 25g of allowable carbs on tortillas. Most places will not replace tortillas with lettuce because they shred them right away.I figured I'd pop-in and ask. To my delight, he was happy to accommodate. This place is generous with filling portions. Since I wasn't going to get full with the double corn tortillas they normally serve with each taco, I got 5. (Don't judge)In short order my beautiful shrimp taco, taco de chicharrón, (braised pork skin in a Chile verde), chorizo taco, and 2 lengua taco, (beef tongue. Calm down. They remove the outer skin and braise the muscle under it). All were exceptional. Very fresh, & crunchy, double iceberg lettuce was used. I also ordered a side of guacamole. Love this place. There were many happy people here either eating the day's surf & turf special, an unreal value at $11, or one of the homemade legit soups they make here.
