Been eating here my whole life (pre move to this building) and never had a bad meal. Had meals that weren't the best but never bad! Will always come back. Burrito Tropical is the bomb!

I eat there regularly and have never had a compliant about it. The food is good and the employees are always nice. UPDATE:. May 31, 2022-Still good as always. UPDATE:. August 21,2022- The food is still good, like always. They don't have lunch combos on Sundays, so I ordered the Burrito, Taco, Refried Beans, and Rice combo with a Diet Coke. Just as delicious. UPDATE:. September 11, 2022-I was back tonight, and ordered the same thing - Burrito, Taco, Refried Beans, Rice, Diet Coke, along with Chips and Salsa to start the meal. Just as delicious as the last time. Also, the service was good and fast. UPDATE: June 7, 2023-It has been a while since I have been for lunch during the week, so I ordered the Taco, Burrito, and Rice Combo, along with a Diet Coke. It was still good and delicious, like always.

Great experience. Food was great- especially Enchiladas Suizas- topped with roasted pork & green sauce, filled with white cheese-Yum! Very friendly service, festive atmosphere, good margaritas! We were not expecting much...but very very good Americanized Mexican...with some dishes more true Mexican if you order well!

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Richmond. I try to visit every time I'm in town visiting family. The sweet tea is very good, not too sweet. My favorite dish is the pollo asado, but la mejor is a close second. Chips and salsa are complimentary and delicious! Definitely recommend.

I have been to many, many Mexican restaurants and I find this one in Richmond Indiana the most authentic in every way. Employees, service and atmosphere is above and beyond any other establishment. I will drive 65 miles again from Anna Ohio to Richmond to enjoy a delicious meal here.

Incredible! Not only are there more vegetable options in their dishes than most but they're cooked exactly right for each veggie. One of my favorite cheese, rice, chicken, shrimp comfort foods taken to a new level with zucchini, tomatoes, onions.. just amazing!
