The outside ad says best Mexican food in Richmond. I can't say as I didn't try every one, but this one was/is very good.
The chips were served hot and immediately with a cute little jar of salsa on the side. The service and the food were excellent (enchiladas Supreme lunch special) and the water glass was kept full.
My only reservation (no pun intended) was that the waiter hovered with his little machine waiting for me to pay even though I wasn't using plastic. I don't like figuring out tips while the waiter watches....just tell me the total and walk away. I'll figure it out.

A large family gathering, for which we apparently wildly underestimated the number for the reservation. As people kept showing up, the staff worked tirelessly and patiently to find tables and chairs for everyone. They managed to keep everyone's orders straight as far as I've heard, and they were never rude or even short-tempered no matter how many guests popped up.

The food was okay but not especially memorable. The staff, however, was heroic.

Underwhelming food. I live in California so maybe my bar is a little high but the food was not of quality. The service matches the subpar food. Ramon was my server came in around 3 and was seated. I waited and had to flag down the host for water refill as Ramon seemed busy tending to the 2 tables in the restaurant. When my water was brought back I asked the host to ask him for my receipt as I wasn’t getting tended to so I wanted to pay for my food . He assured me and as he was assuring me Ramon came up and agreed as he told him in front of me. After about ten minutes I walked up to the manager and expressed I didn’t get my check and had told 2 people 2 times. I explained I used to be a server therefore I am very understanding however the service was unacceptable. Very dismissive he kept assuring me it wasn’t like him and never apologized for the service I received instead he kept challenging my events even noting Ramon told him I was on the phone so he didn’t check on me. Instead of just apologizing for my experience the manager indirectly invalidated my experience as well as the chain of events . If you are looking for authentic Mexican cuisine u will be disappointed. It is mediocre at absolute best

I ate here twice while catching a flight from Richmond International Airport. My flight was delayed the first day so I returned again for a second meal at Mexico Restaurant since the first one was so enjoyable!! The food was excellent and authentic and the service was also excellent. It’s very popular with the locals and easy to see why. Good value, good food and friendly courteous staff made it a very pleasant experience both times. Highly recommended!

Decided to follow the crowd on a Wednesday night this place was packed. After ordering our food I could understand why, I thought we had crossed the border to eat authentic food.
