50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Richmond

“I have ordered catering from here twice now for my office. I usually order different meats and sides to build your own tacos. Not only is the food delicious and hot and fresh, but the service is great too! They are super quick and responsive and don't miss a thing. They provided plenty of sides like salsas and such as well as plates and utensils. I highly recommend Tacos El Tucan for catering or just a quick bite. The team is great!“

“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 “

“Amazing service looked after us in our time of need as we were 6 hours from home. Kept in touch with us to insure we made it home safe! I highly recommend! Quality service quality care. Thank you so much for all your help!! We will see you again when we are up those ways!“

“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.“

“Los tacos de tripas y las tortas de milanesa y de carnitas y burritos de asada y de lengua y de carnitas y las aguas frescas“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Literally a hidden gem! After a hot sauna with friends, we decided to check this place out. I wasn’t even hungry and was pretty skeptical, so my bf and I started with only 4 tacos. However after the first bite, I was completely won over by the flavor and the incredibly tender pork so I ended up ordering every flavor on the menu, and each one was just as impressive. Especially in this super duper inflated world, where else can you find $1 chips and $3 tacos? Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic, affordable, and unbelievably delicious ?“

“If you blink you'll miss it. I blinked and had to go around again, but boy I'm glad I did! Good clean cooking and welcoming server. I came by way of an a-fram sign while driving to and from a showing appointment -- I just wanted a quick something to eat. But all in all the three sisters do Mexican cuisine awesome. Great presentation, and yummy. #TheBrokerWithAHeart“

“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!“

“great food and service!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“Amazing, delicious and homemade taste.
Every single time we came here, we go home satisfied and happy.
It really taste like home made food.

Vegetarian options: Labeled vegetarian dishes and they accommodate and make changes“

“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.

“Ferociously respectable tacos here. Carne asada, carnitas, and al pastor we're all absolutely on point, and their salsa roja, is rich and smokey almost like a mole, and the staff is hella cool. Five stars across the board.
Directly adjacent to La familia market, on McDonald.“

“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?“

“Always amazing! This place....I’ve been to about a dozen times, but this was the first time since this Covid-19 business. I walked up to the front door which faces the street, and ordered at the new ordering window, my mask donned. La Bamba remains delicious, Covid be damned. The Pupusas Revuelta was tender, juicy, handmade....perfect. Never gets old. The pickled cabbage, pickled to perfection. The salsa....a nice kick but not overbearing, not gonna overpower the pupusa, and provides a nice little bit of heat. I doubt I’ll ever get tired of this place.“

“(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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious seafood! Highly recommend!“

“The wait was long but I see why the food is delicious and worth the wait it’s on the pricey side but you get what you pay for and it’s so good I will be going back soon .“

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

“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.“

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

“todo está riquísimo y pronto vuelvo por una torta cubana se los recomiendo“

“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.“

“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,“
