“We were there on a night when there was a show close by. The place was packed and incredibly noisy. However, when it was near time for the show to start, the crowd mostly cleared out, and the 6 of us at our table were able to hear each other much better. Our waitress was attentive, and the food was great. We would come back!“

“We have been here a couple of times and it is without a doubt the best Mexican food I have ever eaten in RVA! The restaurant is attractive and spotlessly clean. The staff is professional and friendly.“

“I'm so happy I found this place. Both beef stews we tried were amazing. The Birria Fries were a favorite, for sure, and the Menudo was great. Will definitely make this a staple during colder months. Amazing flavors, great service, and reasonable prices.“

“I wonder if this is a more authentic experience than most Americans want; loud, cramped, and bussling, this place is an experience. But the food is good, if perhaps the fish tacos, one of our 3 dishes , was bland.

The medium sized margarita was giant and a fair price, and not too sweet. You can find better but you'll pay double.

A good experience overall.“

“Honestly the food is excellent. I had the AL Pastor tacos and my buddy had the Fajitas. Margheritas were also pretty good as well. But truthfully I'd go back just for Gabby. She is so much fun. Our first time in and we all cut up the whole time. Definitely a people person who's ready to laugh. So all in all, Great food, great drinks and great staff. Thanks for a great experience Gabs. 10/10, highly recommend.“

“This place was a beacon of hope during covid. Other than not being able to go inside at first, it was like nothing had changed. They made sure of that. And this was after it was already my favorite restaurant. Good prices, great food, best atmosphere.“

“I came here with a work group of about 45 people the night of a Richmond boil water notice. They handled our group so well, despite all the difficulties. Food was flavorful with just enough spice. Music was great, service was excellent. Thank you!“

“This place was incredible! We all had nachos as it was Nacho Thursday.“

“The tacos are delicious, the service is friendly and the restaurant is clean. From the outside it looks bleak but I come for the food not the atmosphere. Try the Tripa, Lengua, or Carne Asada tacos and ask for the corn tortillas which are made fresh.“

“Very delicious!! Great service. Clean. Friendly.“

“Best street style tacos in Richmond. Everything is fresh and full of flavor. They have a hot sauce bar, the drinks are really good and the vibes authentic.

“We catered a welcome dinner for our wedding for 90 guests through Jalapenos in Carytown. The event was at a local brewery. We ordered a wide variety of items including tortillas, fajitas, steak, chicken, rice, quesadillas, dip, and other items. All the food was extremely fresh and tasty, with great portions! It came right on time, and was set up perfectly! We received so many compliments on all the food, and people kept going back for seconds. Carlos and his team were such a pleasure to work with, and cared so much about the success of our event. We could not recommend them enough.“

“Tacos de lengua, son los mejores y la calidad está muy buena.“

“I love the food! Try the street corn! Have never had anything bad there! Yummy! My favorite Mexican restaurant near Chester!😁“

“Stopped here for lunch and ordered their chicken fajitas. First of all their prices are reasonable. Secondly, the fajitas were delicious. Flavorful and nicely seasoned. My daughter had the burrito with ground beef and this nice sauce came with it. I know it was good because she finished the whole thing!
I also had the lime margarita, that was good. If I had more time I would have ordered another one.
Go eat!!“

“Great authentic restaurant!“

“Very good! They were super accommodating and friendly - they helped me order a vegan meal that was truly delicious *and* they were bilingual English/Spanish and very kind in speaking with me in both languages. (I can communicate some in Spanish but for complicated questions one of the staff members helped me in English, with no judgement and such hospitable vibes.) Truly a warm and friendly atmosphere - a great experience!“

“Me gusta la comida la música y todo … solo faltan cervezas en el menú . Muy buen ambiente“

“Idk if they just opened or what but a bit unorganized. We went during the week at night for dinner. Food took a while to come out but it was fresh. Nachos aren’t that good. Waitress not too familiar with menu. The soups are really good and the pupusas are okay.“

“definitely doesn't taste like your average taco joint“

“wraps , it is always worth it .“

“Tiene muy buenas opciones de comida“

“Food was good, fresh, hot and reasonably price. Nice atmosphere and great service. Would recommend“

“Let me just by far the best Birria tacos I’ve ever had. I’ve been there 3xs now and the consistency is amazing. Over the summer was my first experience and they had a homemade watermelon drink that was out of this world. Each time I go I get the Birria tacos and the broth is made perfect. Also, the rice is served in the broth which is very tasteful. No complaints and I’ll definitely continue to dine here.“

“We were planning to go to the more popular place across the street but they had no public restrooms. Neither did a lot of other local business, but thank goodness we walked into this friendly establishment!! We decided to stay and eat. This service was quick and direct. The food was to die for. It was seriously so good and they serve much food for the price. We left very happy.“

“Casa Grande never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served quickly—perfect for a family meal or a casual get-together. Their queso and salsa are some of the best around, and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is lively but relaxed, and the staff always make you feel like part of the family. If you’re in the mood for great Mexican food, Casa Grande is definitely a go-to! 🌮🎉“
