Taqueria Y Antojitos El Chido ( Midlothian ) — Restaurant in Virginia

There's a group of 10-15 of us who dine out every Friday night. We are always on the lookout for new places to eat so we were excited to visit El Chido. (The Cool)

Every year, 4 of us of spend 2-3 months on the west coast of Mexico, so we are well versed in the authenticity of Mexican fare.

I ordered Al Pastor. I should have asked for extra pineapple, because I could barely find any. The tacos were tasty, but the preparation was derived from a region I'm not familiar with. No cilantro, nor onions.... pretty good, but not like a good street taco. Between everyone, orders ranged from Pozoli, to Burritos, to Tortas to specials. Most diners were "ok" with their choices.

A couple of people said the pork in their taco or burrito was under cooked, so they set it aside.

Elote was DELICIOUS and the homemade chips are addicting. The Horchata was impressive.

Staff was friendly and the meals were delivered in a timely manner. We like that you go up to the register to order. With a large group this works great because we don't have to worry about check splitting.

We will definitely go back another time and give El Chido...

I mean, look at this burrito. I'm 6'7 and 260 pounds and I could barely finish this. That was about halfway through my meal and I took that pic. Chipotle fried burrito al gusto with Carne Asada. It had the right amount of spice (salsa poured over it too). You walk right up to the register and order your food. You can get a number and sit or take it to go and they had several drinks options. For $14, you can't beat it! And it felt like it took like 5 minutes, but my food was definitely cooked fully. Most of the bad reviews I saw were about gorditas, but this burrito was delicious. Highly recommend...

I went there a couple of days ago and the food was really good. I got a suadero and a steak gordita and both of them were really good I even ask if it was possible for them to make the gorditas oven cooked instead of being deep fried and they even did that for me so the staff and service was like really nice, friendly and attentive...

The only reason I'm giving only 3 star on atmosphere it's because I sat at the bar and the counter it's set up like to high I'm 6'2 and it was still uncomfortable for me to be seating there because of its height, other then that...
