Taqueria Guerita — Restaurant in Richmond

There is a second part to this review, which is 1 ⭐️ . I will get to that in a moment .

Let me start off by saying I am a burrito guy. I realize this place opened in my neighborhood and decided to give it a try after reading the reviews. They’ve got a couple of reviews talking about how the food wasn’t that good etc. I live off of burritos and that is far from the truth. The burrito itself was very tasteful. The seasoning was perfect. The rice is good. The shell was cooked exactly how most people would like it. Let me get to the one star part of My review now. First at the counter, the guy worked in the counter, gave him my order. It was hard for them to understand kept repeating, and I gave them specific directions slowly on how I wanted my burrito made. When you tell somebody no beans and then two minutes later they come back and say you don’t want no beans no I don’t. When you tell somebody I want cheese and then they come back while they’re sitting there typing something in and say do you want cheese. With that said that’s minimal here’s the bad part. My wife cannot eat dairy I told the first person three enchiladas and no dairy, no cheese and no sour cream. I said all three of those things however I should’ve only been able just to say no dairy and they should understand that, but I specifically said no cheese and sour cream.. Specifically said my wife cannot have dairy. After talking to the lady in the back going back And fourth. The lady comes out and continues my order. She’s really a hard worker and tries too hard but I think it’s a slight language barrier. She repeated to me no sour cream and no cheese and I said correct as I’m leaving getting my order she opens it to show me, how the enchiladas were and I said oh is that sour cream she said yes I said no sour cream. My wife cannot eat dairy no cheese and she goes oh no cheese?. So she takes the tray back rather than make a new one she scraped the sour cream out of the tray and was not aware of that at the time when I got home, I had to wipe it out with paper towels. I think they personally should’ve grabbed another tray possibly remade the order if it was the neighborhood of dairy. That’s just my opinion, but the food was great. Have a good day. I went well before lunch place was not busy only one other customer there so no reason to get mixed up here. So I don’t want to dock them for the food and trying just making people aware who can’t have...

The family went hear after church on Sunday, got there about 1:30 and it was consistently busy. Folks picking up orders, seats were full and a few people in line. The wait wasn't long, less than 10 minutes for 4 people and the food was delicious. We ordered a super carnitas burrito, steak nachos, birria tacos, super steak burrito. The review that Cameron left is hilarious expecting a life changing burrito for 14 bucks, and that's a cheap price!! I'm used to paying 18 a burrito at the truck with no place to sit. LOL I pay that much because the food is worth it. I was happy to find a less expensive spot. Good food, quick service, clean spot, nice people, we will be back for sure! We tried to go tonight but they were already closed. I hope they do well and stick around for a while. My family...

Second visit, we ordered to go as we live nearby but always trying different menu items. The atmoshere is pleasant, the staff always friendly, quality and freshness of all the components greatly appreciated. The al pastor sopes were amazing and well portioned, quesabirria w/compote among one of the best I've experienced, chicken enchillada verde also delicous and well portioned but I would request a sprinkle of cheese next time on top. We'll be back and look forward to the option of a drive-thru...
