my first time in richmond and this was my favorite restaurant so far. it’s such a comfy and welcoming atmosphere. the servers/bartenders are incredibly sweet. i had a blue margarita and shrimp tacos that were to die for! i told them their refried beans were the best i’ve had. not a place to skip 10/10

Dania was a very nice waitress. Chips were good but salsa is very very running basically tomato soup with a lot of onions but it is complimentary. I got the $17 Tierra y Mar, came with chicken, steak and 3 shrimp. Dania checked with the cooks, and it only comes with 3 shrimp. The meal is supposed to come with cheese sauce on it but I didn't see any.My friend got Quesabirria it tasted great, but had to eat with silverware because the tortillas were soggy. Jalapeño margaritas was delicious.

The food was great, the service was great as well! It is a small place and there were rowdy people at the bar, we had a hard time carrying on a convo at our table because it was so loud. I know that wouldn't bother a lot of people but just something to note! The chimichanga was delicious!
The food excellent we just went to Richmond for dinner and we are from Southern Maryland....was worth it the trip food was super good ???

Incredible experience as a tourist in Richmond for the weekend. Wanted to try some Mexican food and this place at great reviews. Exceeded every expectation! Chips and salsa (best I’ve ever had) provided and the enchiladas verdes were both spectacular and plentiful. Service was outstanding as well! Looking forward to going back soon.

Parking: It’s Cary town so there’s not lot of parking, but we got a spot right out front
My daughter and I decided to take a drive to Richmond to check out the area. After driving around we stumbled upon the Carytown neighborhood. it’s a really cool place to spend some time. We decided to get something to eat and my daughter wanted Mexican. We stopped at the Jalapenos Mexican grill. It’s small but has a really cool vibe. They started with free chips and salsa. That’s always a good sign. The chips were fresh and crunchy. The salsa tangy and a little smoky. She ordered Quesabirra which is shredded beef and cheese. It was moist and tender but it’s all meat so it will be heavy on you stomach best to share this meal. I ordered the burrito and enchiladas combo it was Moist and delicious the re-fried beans were very creamy and smooth. though a very good meal it was not very filling. A very good and reasonable place to step for a taste of Mexico.
I will let the pictures talk. Our server was so nice and friendly!! And to the guys in the back that made out food!! DELISH!! I been to alot of Mexican places but this is my top 1!! I wanna go again....and I might do that! Just thinking bout it makes my mouth water?. Our food came out smoking hot. Had to wait a min so it can cool down. The Quesobirria(for give me if I spelled it wrong) the meat was soooooooooo juice and tender. And that piece of FAT! The dripping sauce was sooo good, I drunk the rest ?Go and sit down, and eat...you will NOT regret it!
