Richardson's

Yelp asks: "What went well?"That's a rather good question!EVERYTHING went better than "well," it was all delicious and well worth the visit! You're greeted with a wonderful aroma of the food magic you're about to partake in as soon as you walk through the door... I knew it would be awesome right from the start!We were seated (without a reservation - I'd get one next time) promptly, and our server was super friendly and efficient. Our drinks came out quickly and were nice and cold (105F outside, ya know...).You simply must have the bacon wrapped jalapeños - they are packed with umami, and have just a little heat after a minute or two, which is perfect.I got the Taos Combo... it's an enormous amount of food, but all of the items are amazing - sausages, refried frijoles, arroz, and the pulled brisket quesadillas were amazing.They are well prepared to pack up the leftovers for home, and are just an amazing, welcoming place I'd like to be a regular at. Until next time, and thank you!!! ¡Muchísimas grácias!

An "off day", for Richardson's.10/10 atmosphere, 10/10 food, and 2/10 service. My girlfriend and I went to Richardson's, a gorgeous building nestled in green vines overgrown to showcase its stand against the test of time. We were seated right away by a friendly, well dressed waiter. We perused the robust list of chef inspired mex/american cuisine and in a timely manner our waiter returned to take our order for, "breakfast chile rellenos and carne asada enchiladas". After about 15 minutes my partner's food arrived, cooked to perfection. As soon as the plate hit the table the waiter was swiftly gone. I tried to order more coffee, but before the words could leave my mouth, our stealthy server escaped to the back...further fumbling by failing to bring my order for food....ever. He was seen bartending casually, and chatting with other guests. My food tarried. Another 15 minutes passed. He checked on us and after being reminded; abruptly, insincerely and with an air of swagger was quick to respond that, "the ticket was never sent to the kitchen". Another 10 minutes passed, and he was so smooth/absent we were still unable to request more coffee. I ate off of my girlfriends plate, which, to be honest, was a generous portion(and undeniably delicious). I asked for the check as soon as I could. In the end they did bring my meal to go and were apologetic, this time slightly more sincere refusing to charge me as a gesture. I simply could not accept it, but I would definitely return knowing today was just an, "off day", for Richardson's.

This place is amazing! The whole experience was amazing. We were in town for my 50th birthday and my wife found this place I can tell you it was so good we had to make 2 stops here before we left. Honestly, this was some of the best food we had and in the coolest restaurant I visited. So unique, and just an amazing vibe! I wish we had a place like this in Dallas!Our food was amazing! My wife struggles with what to choose (she wants to try everything) so we asked our waiter for some suggestions and he told us she could order whatever she wanted al la carte and build her own dish!!This was a highlight of our visit! When we are in town we will be back!

Excellent lunch here today. Green chili burrito. Very authentic New Mexico food. Their green is delicious. Service was good (I sat at the bar). Great ambiance. Definitely worth coming back for some other dishes.

We friends had their wedding reception dinner here, a party of about 25. We arrived and the valet was quick and friendly. Our party was sat at a large table in the middle. Our servers were polite and attentive. The atmosphere is like an enclosed patio with trees and vines. The whole menu is New Mexico based. Admittedly I have a very low tolerance for spice so while others were hyping up the other dishes, I opted for the Santa Fe Chicken. I was not prepared for the massive portion sizes! Good thing we were all starving from a full day of wedding activities. Everyone really seemed to enjoy their food and some took the opportunity to order the signature GCP (Green Chili Potato). I think if I come back a different time I'll be a little more adventurous. Everyone was getting a kick out of the "Kid's Menu", which obviously had to be a joke because it had Tomahawk steak, Foie gras, Steak and Lobster, and a charcuterie board on it.

The staff here is topnotch from the host to the server and to the loving hands who coaxed the flavors from the pork advado to the light Prickly Pear Margarito.The portions are huge and I leftovers for lunch and breakfast over the weekend when I felt peckish.This establishment is the place to go for Southwest, Nee Mexico cuisine. Bring your appetite!

The Covid hangover has been officially excorcised! Richardsons has returned to its original excellence. We love the building, the people, and the food. It's a regular on the date night schedule. Our favorites are the Carne Adovada, the smoked ribs, and the New Mexican sausages.

The best, Nicholas was marvelous and very accommodating.The food was fantastic, my only suggestion is try and deal with the fly scenario, once the food was delivered they bombarded us.

Definitely prefer their other establishments like Dick's Hideaway, Rokerij's basement, or their speakeasy Rosie's, but if you want a patio with greenery when we have nice weather than Richardson's patio is ideal and lovely.Had the Pasta Heidi, a favorite of theirs, creamy, flavorful and delicious. Has chipotle cream with green chile linguine and grilled chicken. By the way the side salad is an additional $9, it's not complimentary. During lunch, you can park yourself. During dinner they do valet. And there was no wait for lunch on a Friday.

Richardson's is a well known local establishment serving up New Mexican-inspired fare for the last 30+ years... It is warm and cozy with a Southwestern vibe.I've been in for dinner a couple of times over the years, most recently on a double date with my husband and some friends. We made a reservation ahead of time -- I recommend you always do so to avoid a long wait. Even with a res, we waited for a bit at the bar and had a drink... no big deal.Service was attentive at the bar and also once we were seated. We went with the pan seared salmon bites appetizer for the table, accompanied by some drinks. For entrees, three of us went with a Chilean Sea Bass special and my husband went with the Chimayo Chicken. Each came with a dinner salad, which was delicious. There are a variety of sides you can choose from too... We all agreed that while tasty, the entrees were all pretty rich and saucy... We are used to eating a bit lighter, so none of us could finish our food, nor did we have room for dessert. That being said, I look at this as a once in a while / special occasion kind of place vs. a regular on the rotation.I definitely want to return for brunch sometime - it's served daily until 4pm. If you've gotten this far in my review and want to meet up to check it out, let me know :)
