I have lived and worked all over Central America and Mexico and generally am not a fan of typical Tex Mex Mexican places. I moved a block away from Chicanos Covina a week ago and have eaten here 4 times already. The place has a comfortable feel with a real bar and nice selection of beers and tequila. The staff are super friendly and from all over Central America. Food is fresh and while all the Tex mex favs are on the menu they are prepared very well and there are more traditional items like pollo mole and birria tacos. The Birria tacos are big with tender beef and the dipping consomme is rich and very authentic. Good happy hour prices and a great Paloma one of my fav drinks. Highest personal recommendation.

They are a very nice Mexican restaurant that thinks or least trys to be upscale. My wife and I actually argued about this. She felt it was a little bit more upscale, and I didn't, I don't believe you're upscale just because you put little umbrellas in your drinks, LOL. Either way, the restaurant is good. Chips and salsa were pretty tasty. Salsa had a little bit of a kick to it. We all got tacos and shared them so we could try different ones. Flour tortillas we're pretty soft, and everything overall was tasty and seemed pretty fresh. Service was really good. They have a nice bar and they were quite a few people sitting there. Located downtown, you may have to drive around a little bit to find a parking spot as with most restaurants in this area. It's definitely worth checking out, there's probably better places easier to get to but sometimes it's fun just to go to a different place.

If you buy a jar of cheap spaghetti sauce and throw in a bay leave when heating it up, do you call it homemade? You'll love this place if you do. I chose this place to celebrate a friends birthday from a Google search (their website mentioned fresh tortillas). What a mistake. The guacamole was some avocado paste with some pico de gallo thrown in and mixed up (with some citrus?). The salsa and queso tasted fresh out of a jar (more likely a can). Moreover, half of our meals (party of four) were tepid at best. How do you serve a not at all warm quesadilla and not take it off the check when the person doesn't eat it because it's cold? Which, they would have known about way before everyone was finished eating if they ever bothered to check in with us. The beans tasted like reconstituted beans (think Taco Bell) and and the rice was flavorless (tho cooked well). The meat tasted like it had been cooked and then re-heated. Not good. In fact, decidedly bad. And, well, the tortillas were definitely NOT homemade. I do not understand how this place has such good reviews on Yelp and Google when the iced tea might have been the best part of the meal. At least it (the iced tea) tasted authentic and homemade.
Good, fresh Mexican food right in downtown Richmond. Nice-sized portions and good beer selection. Try the Arroz con Pollo with added peppers, onions, and shrimp. The guac is nice and fresh and HUGE.

It's a solid choice in the city for a basic Mexican food experience. Salsas are decent, food is fast, drinks are as expected but there's a huge selection.The ground beef is surprisingly really good - I normally get that over the steak options.

Food was good, but they do not handle customer allergies well. I asked if they served non-alcoholic margaritas and the server said they did. I ordered one, and it tasted like it contained alcohol.I asked the server to confirm it was alcohol free (and mentioned this was due to a severe alcohol allergy/intolerance I have). She confirmed once again it did not contain alcohol. I then asked what the ingredients were, and she did not know. I ended up having an allergic reaction not long after leaving the restaurant.
10/10 let me say it again 10/10
