50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Richmond

“All of their food is delicious🔥🤤😋“

“muy ricos tacos y económicos 😅 excelente corazón de tacos!!“

“The food is in good season, well prepared and the portions are large. I really recommend the roasted chicken catering menu, it is delicious and delivered warm. The beans are excellent. The "fried mojarra" dish is not mojarra. It is tilapia and almost no bones compared to a mojarra.“

“So long story short drove to Richmond to try another place (tacos wl panzon Friday night and there close) found this LET ME TELL YOU the SHEEP yes SHEEP was worth it fresh water of different favors amazing had the passion fruit people if you know try this place can't go “

“This place is a hidden Gem! I came here today, randomly, and ordered 5 Popusa revueltas! There were absolutely AMAZING! So flavorful and FRESH! The ladies that work there are super nice and sweet! I will be coming back whenever I’m in the east bay! Thank you Richmond Eats!!!“

“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.“

“Reminds me of my grandma's food, so comforting and delicious every time. Cooks are from Guanajuato and this place is authentic. The birria caldo is delicious, carne asada plate is bomb with handmade tortillas, the mole enchiladas will blow your mind, and chile relleno was fire! 10 out 10 every time!“

“great food and service!!!“

“To me, these are the best burritos and churros inside of the city of Richmond. I don't think it is close. I think they have very good fresh food. The service is great. The location is small and eating outside is best or to use this for takeout. But you will not regret the amazing food that they make.“

“No frills Mexican restaurant. Small. There’s like three tables and three employees but the food comes out super quickly. Red and green salsas for free. You pay extra for chips. I had the quesabirria and it was great. $21 with a soda. $25 with tip. Satisfying. My coworker got tacos and they looked decent. She was pleased.“

“NOTE: El Paisa in Oakland, and this place, are neck to neck in the east bay taco competition.The best suadero and carnitas tacos I've had East Bay, hands down, sometimes even better than El Paisa in East Oakland and I never ever thought I would say that. The old Guy running this place knows how to work a Comal (Choricera/Fritanga)I'm still reeling from the implications.Was told that the neighborhood's a little rough which is fine with me, I'd advise out-of-towners To come in the afternoon though. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Taco heavenUPDATE: One week later, and I've had tacos there five more times and each time it just got BETTER.UPDATE: after three months eating there, I realize they have hit-or-miss days.“

“There is a second part to this review, which is 1 ⭐️ . I will get to that in a moment .

Let me start off by saying I am a burrito guy. I realize this place opened in my neighborhood and decided to give it a try after reading the reviews. They’ve got a couple of reviews talking about how the food wasn’t that good etc. I live off of burritos and that is far from the truth.
The burrito itself was very tasteful. The seasoning was perfect. The rice is good. The shell was cooked exactly how most people would like it.
Let me get to the one star part of My review now.
First at the counter, the guy worked in the counter, gave him my order. It was hard for them to understand kept repeating, and I gave them specific directions slowly on how I wanted my burrito made. When you tell somebody no beans and then two minutes later they come back and say you don’t want no beans no I don’t. When you tell somebody I want cheese and then they come back while they’re sitting there typing something in and say do you want cheese. With that said that’s minimal here’s the bad part. My wife cannot eat dairy I told the first person three enchiladas and no dairy, no cheese and no sour cream. I said all three of those things however I should’ve only been able just to say no dairy and they should understand that, but I specifically said no cheese and sour cream.. Specifically said my wife cannot have dairy. After talking to the lady in the back going back And fourth. The lady comes out and continues my order. She’s really a hard worker and tries too hard but I think it’s a slight language barrier. She repeated to me no sour cream and no cheese and I said correct as I’m leaving getting my order she opens it to show me, how the enchiladas were and I said oh is that sour cream she said yes I said no sour cream. My wife cannot eat dairy no cheese and she goes oh no cheese?. So she takes the tray back rather than make a new one she scraped the sour cream out of the tray and was not aware of that at the time when I got home, I had to wipe it out with paper towels. I think they personally should’ve grabbed another tray possibly remade the order if it was the neighborhood of dairy. That’s just my opinion, but the food was great. Have a good day.
I went well before lunch place was not busy only one other customer there so no reason to get mixed up here. So I don’t want to dock them for the food and trying just making people aware who can’t have dairy. Be careful.“

“So happy to find a delicious and friendly restaurant that doesn’t close in the afternoon in my neighborhood. We have been there several times in the past couple months and I’m still trying new things on the menu. My husband tried the ribs which he said were the best he’s ever had and half the serving went home with him. It was huge! Desserts are exceptional especially the flan. I’m still exploring their vegetarian options but so far my favorite is their version of chili relleno. Come and relax and enjoy the food and friendly atmosphere!“

“This Place has by far the BEST TORTAS you can get these day's at a restaurant! It's Always"s clean...The lady at the register is very nice! They Greet you when u come in! They don't try and charge $2 for sour cream and all those hidden fee's! One day they will find a better location! Food is Fresh! Perfect!!!!“

“This is the bomb!!!! We just had our X-mas gathering with 31 people and I can say the owner was very accommodating, pleasantly to work with. The food was so delicious specially the QUESABIRRIAS, everyone went crazy over it. The menu is great,I highly recommend this place. Will truly come back for more! Come on let's show some support for this family owned business!!!!“

“I ordered the hoe meat but I added onion and stewed chili because that's how I like it and everything was SUPER good?? I'm going back soon?

I ordered the carne azada and added onions and chile because I personally prefer it with that and the whole meal was AMAZING??? will definitely be coming back?“

“I loved the hospitality that I received from Chef Henrik's and the food that was delicious, every bite was an explosion of flavor, everything was very good.

“DAMN GOOD MEXICAN FOOD! I don't care what anyone says in the reviews, anyone giving this place less than a 4.5 does not know what they are talking about. This place is literally one of the only good places to eat authentic Mexican food. Their regular burritos are 10.95 and they are literally the size of other restaurants that charge you 13$ for "super" burrito and them shi be nasty. Bomb ahh asada fries, the guacamole is so good, it has a perfect mix of lime, pepper, salt and avocado. The tacos taste the same as the ones do in mexico, you want authentic? This place has tacos that are literally the same thing that they sell in Mexico, literally where tacos come from! (Specifically the ones from guadalajara, those are the ones it reminds me of). Burritos are fantastic. The asada is the best from every other taco place. If you want to find a better place you have to drive at least 30 more minutes south/southwest. This is an honest review by a real Mexican, not a gringo that only knows shell tacos and chimichangas.“

“Everything here is absolutely delicious! highly recommend!“

“UPDATE: Tacos Arabes!! So good!! Highly recommended.

This review is for their new truck on Roosevelt and 23rd. You gotta get the carnitas with the handmade blue corn tortilla. It’s absolutely ridiculous. So damn good. Unlike anything I’ve ever had. Lots of good fresh avocado in every bite.

They also have a delicious pecan agua fresca, which is unlike anything I’ve ever had before. Just wow.

Their salsa and their pickles are on point.

They also have lots of other fun regional stuff that you don’t find at other taco trucks. Pambazos, cemitas, huaraches, tacos arabes, etc. I can’t wait to try them.“

“the food is soo delicious & comes out at a reasonable time. I got the enchilada & Chile relleno combo & it was just superb. the staff are very nice & attentive, there was a loud table nearby which was kind of annoying but it has nothing to do with the restaurant. I loved it & want to go back asap!!“

“My family and I have been going to El Sol since 1984. The food is excellent, reasonable, large selection, quantity and the staff are so friendly, it’s like one big family. Their enchilada sauce is my favorite!“

“(Translated by Google) Ooooooyeeeaaa very rich cakes awuiwuis u a very good treatment cleaning very comfortable prices and delicious food?????(Original)Ooooooyeeeaaa muy ricas tortas awuiwuis u un muy buen trato limpieza precios muy cómodos y Rica comida?????“

“The tamales here are scrumptious! My absolute favorite is their corn one but all are good.
The portions are huge and usually one is more than enough to satisfy me.
No discounts for ordering a dozen or more. Priced per item“

“Great food. Enjoyed the TVs. Great for a date or just hanging with friends“

“Working out of the parking lot behind La Loma market on McBryde and San Pablo and Bringing that real Sinaloan, and Jarocho flavor, Carlos's tamales, that come in potato and sausage, cheese, Chorizo, sausage and beef, are homemade delights, so hard to find in this world of fast food. Carlos is an expert chef, who sells out his excellent salsa first thing every day. So try to get there before 1:00 p.m., and get some while it's still there. These are the most delicious tamales in the East Bay area, made by a real craftsman who knows true Mexican tamale flavor.“

“es muy rico todo lo que preparan“

“Delicious seafood! Highly recommend!“

“Great food. Enjoyed the TVs. Great for a date or just hanging with friends“

“Great quesadillas, and tortas, they had a very different texture but surprising taste that was very delicious. I recommend these dishes and the service was great, other than the feeling of being rushed in a way when the waiter suggested many things on the menu.“

“Deliciosa comida recomendadisimo al 100% y muy buena atencion“

“Deliciosas las Militas de asada y los sopes ni se diga recomendó vista los tacos Las Palmas 🌴 te gustará se lo que te digo 🌹“

“Yum!
A real cross-section of Richmond and beyond returns here for quality menu hits and the standards you expect from a food truck.
The tacos de asada are a can't-go-wrong classic and I appreciate the mix of carrots, radishes, onions and peppers that complement each dish. Fully eat the quesadillas while they are warm; don't save to reheat this selection, as it's cheese is much better freshly cooked. The quesabirrias hit the spot for me, too! I like the horchata the best of the aguafrescas that are all refreshing and not overly sweet. I like the doradito light-browning of some of the food selections, and the salsas are very tasty - I like the green sauce the best.
The staff members are keen to make the food as you like it and aim to get your meals to you with efficiency and a smile. They care!
Many people return here from what I've witnessed. The corner can be a bit windy on the straightaway from Civic Center to the West, but on a sunny day it can be great to borrow part of the bench and table to eat by the tropically-colored and decorated food truck. Some people choose to carefully dine in their cars for warmth, too, somewhat like a drive-up diner.
My friends and family and I will see you at La Alma de Sol!“

“Have been here a couple times, and it’s always utterly delicious. Plus, the folks who work their are so kind and friendly. I asked for veggie tacos one time, and not only were they flavorful and overflowing, but they even checked to see if I wanted their fresh handmade tortillas — anyone can do a great meat taco, but veggie tacos are harder to pull off without actual spices and attention to detail. Salsas are fantastic. I am in love with this place.“

“absolutely the best tamales I have ever had at a restaurant. I'd swear they were home made if I hadn't ordered them myself... super find!!! I'll never order from anywhere else again.“

“It is a small restaurant, but great in its quality, attention, service and its prices are very affordable, I recommend it for its breakfasts such as chilaquiles, eggs with chorizo ​​and eggs Benedict's, its sound is generally attentive to all its customers, because it has a large number of regular customers.“

“Food is always tasting Amazingly Delicious they never fail I highly recommend this restaurant I love their Tacos ,quesadillas , Consome it’s so 🔥🔥🔥 it sends ur taste buds for a ride“

“love the Red Wet Burritos and Carnitas!!!“

“I love Morton's. The appetizers, entrees, desserts, the amazing service, cleanliness, everything! Yeah, you can say that fine dining like this is pretentious, but just enjoy and embrace it. You're not only paying for delicious high quality food, but you're paying for royal treatment, presentation, the beautiful ambiance,“

“This has to be the best Mexican restaurant in the bay area.

I ordered 2 tacos for a snack and ended up with enough for my daughter and myself for dinner.

The food was plentiful, fresh, and delicious and the staff was super friendly!

We had just pucked up some take out from the Chinese restaurant around the corner, but we wouldn't get home for another hour and a half, so we decided to have something small before we got home.

The $5 tacos were so good and so much that we didn't feel hungry later.

I will be driving 1 1/2 hrs in the near future to try one of their dinners.

Finally I found a new favorite restaurant again! 😃“

“I told my friends about this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I go to this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The dishes they serve are great and the team is welcoming and cooperative. always when we visit this place we pass a pleasing time. highly recommended.“

“Everytime I go here the food it really good. I had a super burrito today and it was fire. I also recommend the steak cheese fries. Service is qucik. And don't hesitate to ask for more salsa. Always a winner in my book. Sometimes it can get a bit crowded. Because people know about this place. I'm not sure if you can order ahead. But I'm gonna see next time I go. They also have a market behind the truck. They have a seating area close by if you choose to seat and eat. There's parking on the inside the lot. So, if you're in the area and want some Mexican food truck experience. Then this is your go to truck.“

“Very solid tacos. I got carnitas and carne asada. I should have tried the al pastor.

The tacos were packed with meat, and the presentation was perfect with the jalapeno and grilled onions. I wish the salsa were spicier and the meat were a bit spicier but the carnitas was extremely juicy.“

“On Wednesday night I had dinner with my family and the food was very good very friendly all the workers there is a worker I asked him his name his name is Emerson and he is very friendly good presentation I talked to him and he told me that he was a cook very good worker.“
