“A nice restaurant with good food and service. The steak and chorizo tacos were very good!“

“Incredible drinks and tres leches. Food and service was amazing too. Only thing that was lacking was the cilantro rice. Will be back again though.“

“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.“

“Best Mexican food. Good service and friendly staff. Everything there is so good.“

“Excellent staff and the best Camerones a la Diabla in RVA!!!“

“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.“

“We got a to go taco bar catering package for the family for the 4th celebration The food was ready in time and was excellent What went about and beyond was the way they packed the accessories causes and paper products Even matches for the sterns well done ! Massive amounts, super happy wife and kids“

“My boyfriend and I have eaten here twice and both times it has been delicious I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and the prices are really great“

“Pretty Good For being in Virginia“

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

“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.“

“Late night food ! They got me tacos at 1 am and I am very grateful.“

“amazing food, great staff, decent prices. I go out of my to come here when I'm in the area with my wife, never had anything a didn't like from here. totally recommend this place to everyone.“

“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! 🌮🎉“

“La Milpa has delicious authentic Mexican cuisine. The food is well seasoned and served quickly. Ordering maybe a bit of a challenge for a non-native Spanish speaker but the staff is friendly. The atmosphere is very rustic but that is part of the charm.“

“Frida's is small, but they maximize the space, and it's very comfortable. Food is extremely fresh, portions are generous, and prices are fair. The margarita was strong, and I appreciated feeling like I got my money's worth for it. The tortilla bowl they make for salads is far better than the tortilla bowls at many other Mexican restaurants - you want to eat the entire bowl in addition to your salad. I only have two minor complaints. One, the chips are a bit thicker than many Mexican restaurants. I prefer the thinner ones, but that's just a personal preference, and Frida's chips are still very good. Two, the fajitas are huge, but they only give you two tortillas and charge you for additional. I don't mind being charged for additional tortillas, but when they only give you two to start with, it stings a little. Even three would be great. But, this stuff is minor compared to how good everything was. This was our first visit to Frida's, and we will definitely be back!“

“Our family's go-to spot for Mexican food for over 25 years. Great food, great service, staff always make sure you're well taken care of. Try the Burrito Chuchos. Tender roast beef, best burrito I've ever had!“

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

“Amazing food and super friendly staff, highly recommend!

We were driving through town and decided to try Mi Casita on a whim—and were treated to a wonderful meal.

We had the plantains with crema and an assortment of tacos (birria, asada, and al pastor) which were all delicious. But the tastiest surprise was the baleadas—beans, cheese, avocado, and eggs in a flour tortilla—filling but delicate and light!“

“Delicious food, great service, and fun events! I participated in several Día De Los Muertos events organized by Kahlo's and was thrilled to meet the owner, who is everything a local business owner ought to be: kind, driven, and makes a burrito bigger than your head! Highly recommended!!“

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

“I went there for the first time yesterday and my experience was amazing! As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a warm welcome .The staff were very nice and very helpful since i didn't know exactly what i wanted .I ended up getting a bowl and it was so delicious !I will definitely be coming back 😍“

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

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

“ultimadamente como que están dejando la comida muy salada especialmente la bandeja mixta. digale al cocinero que use menos sal. y menos sal alas snow crabs“

“Delicious and Authentic! Nice large portions and very friendly staff.“

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

“Amazing food! I ordered food to go during a road trip. The food melted in my mouth! That’s how good it was. I ordered picaditas - the best I’ve ever had. Milanesa de pollo torta, tacos and a quesadilla. It was delicious! Will definitely stop by for food during my trips.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Chicarrones ! Sí por favór“

“It was as always, great atmosphere, great service and great food.“
