Their food is ALWAYS fantastic! I dine in or get take out at least once a week. Today we had chicken fajitas, the new fundido chicken and steak burrito, and a chicken avocado salad. Perfect as always! My wife normally doesn't like Mexican restaurants but she hasn't found anything she doesn't like here!

Who knew such deliciousness was hiding in the Mechanicsville area of Richmond! When I walked in I noticed how nice, spacious and very clean it was! After peeping the bar area, I ordered the Skinny Margarita to get things popping— light, just right and refreshingly tasty. Now to the appetizers... The local fave, queso fundido. That molten, cheesy goodness that literally melts in your mouth. Next up, the elote! It’s so good, you might have to ask them to run it back a second time! Haha Now, let’s get into the main event. The Steak LALO — a grilled tender rib-eye and shrimp, topped with melted cheese... Talk about a flavor party in my mouth! And I cannot forget to mention the Pomegranate Margarita Y’all! Chef’s kiss. Oh, and shoutout to Susan, the bartender! She was super friendly and made the best drinks to complement my meal. Cheers to her! P.S. there’s a nice patio! Go check it out y’all!

I really enjoyed it, my food had a great flavor, the only negative was that they didn't post prices on the menu, you had to do a goofy online scan code thing to see pricing

Although I literally never go to Mexican style restaurants because I don't like Mexican food haha I went here with a group. Like a picky child and a severe distaste for Mexican food, I ordered off the kids menu and got chicken nuggies and fries. They made them perfect they were honestly the best nuggies I've had from out to eat which is kinda wild. The fries were perfect as well, and the portion was actually pretty decent for an "adult" lol. The locations itself is pretty neat inside and is definitely worth at least checking out. The staff was friendly and quick. For all the different foods and meals ordered everyone seemed to enjoy there food and it all was delivered together. It is dim light wise inside (except the men's bathroom, wear sunglasses).

Perfect portion size, delicious food and attentive service! I had carnitas and it was moist and well seasoned. It came with a green sauce with a good kick and acidity to cut the fattiness of the meat. We’ll be back to try many more.

Patron is my go-to Mexican in the area. The Al Pastor is amazing, the carnitas are incredible and there's definitely something about that Shrimp Diablo that makes me smile.

Loved my Cancun salad! They replaced the lettuce with spinach for me and no pico. My favorite mexican place in this area by far. They always accommodate. And they are pet friendly! Always bringing our doggie water outside and wanting to pet him. Great waitress. Food is always good. 5 stars!
