We usually order for pick up and today I finally had the privilege of dining in. I’ve tried the shrimp pasta, chilaqiles, birria, menudo, camarones a la diabla and I must say that everything I’ve have been very delicious. The lady at the counter was so nice and welcoming. I highly recommend this place.

Lidias restaurant is a 10/10.
Every time I order food is top tier and they are so sweet here. This afternoon we came with our four kids and while enjoying our pupusas they were so sweet and played cocomelon on the tv for us ❤️ we didn’t ask it was so thoughtful!

This place was not welcoming. Definitely felt I was not welcomed despite all the great reviews… they didn’t have tongue sooo trucked on to the Mayan place.

I love this place! I always get the burritos because they're delicious, as are the chips, but I know people that really like the breakfast options and also I hear great things about the chilaquile.

I do not frequent this area often but was in town for work. Was looking for a lunch spot and saw the great reviews and photos of the food. I opted for the Chilaquiles with carne asada red sauce. I'm telling you...it was the best serving of Chilaquiles I have ever had. Perfectly soaked chips with great sauce and onions...the meat was super flavorful. I will 100% be stopping by every time I'm in the area so I can try it all. Give them a try!

If it's about leaving the house ? to have lunch at a restaurant to eat an authentic Menudo like this place here in Richmond and San Pablo, there are no two thanks for such a delicious Menudo ?

Lidia's is the best Mexican restaurant in the Bay Area regardless of price range. I say this as a Mexican American with strong memories of my grandma's cooking. Other restaurants lack the deep flavors that you find in good home cooked meals. When I asked the hostell Rosa what their secret was, she said that many restaurants rely on condiments while they focus on the essentials. I agree. This is a lesson for food but also for life. When I go, which is often, I ask for their specials. It could be menudo, caldo de res or pollo, or albondigas which are sometimes made of fish, chicken or my favorite, a mix of beef and pork. If you don't know albondiga soup, do yourself a favor and order it. I also love the mojarra frita, whole fried fish, as well as the fish filet cooked on the grill - filete a la plancha. The meals are served with homemade corn tortillas with real corn flavor, so often missing in tortillas nowadays. The rice is good and the beans are awesome, made properly so you enjoy their subtle flavor. The space is open and comfortable, feeling like restaurants in Mexico, but not the snooty pretentious ones with lousy over priced food. I am talking about the the best ones that focus on good food, good service and fair prices. Try Lidia's. If you do, you will return.

I went here with six friends before a play in Richmond. We chose it because our friend was named Lydia was with us.

My boyfriend and I shared the red huarache with al pastor and the chicken enchiladas verdes. This place is legit! The food was Mexico Mexican food instead of Tex Mex (the enchiladas had lettuce and crema on them). Service from Rosa was fantastic. The masa on the huarache was the perfect fresh texture. I am so happy we found Lidia's and hope to return next time I'm in Richmond.
