I really enjoyed coming here today. My little fella and I stopped by for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and there were only 2 other tables with guests, so we were seated immediately. The service was top notch! Not sure if it was because they weren't super busy, but the gentleman helping us was so attentive. The decor is pretty standard for a Mexican restaurant, but with a modern twist (Frida Kahlo, but holding some... "fresh herbs" shall we say.) Not generally my vibe, but I did think it was a nice play on the generic hacienda scenes you normally see. The food was very good. My big guy always orders the same thing: French fries and Queso and he said it was delicious. I had a chicken tamale and the birria ramen and the birria was soooooooo tender. I had to use a spoon for some of it because it kept falling apart on my chopsticks. It was THAT tender. The broth was good - definitely not traditional ramen broth but was feeling it! A nice hefty squeeze of lime and it was awesome! The tamale was good too, not at all dry which tends to be my biggest complaint with them. They served it with some verde and some Queso for dipping. Yum! I also LOVED that they served a little bowl of beans alongside the salsa and white sauce. THIS is what I want to dip my chips in! It was very good and creamy, but also... what an awesome perk! I have never been to another restaurant that does that, but you better believe this will now be my go-to restaurant because of it. We also ordered some churros and they were really good! So crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.I also really liked that they have a picture menu on each table that lists their drinks, desserts, cocktails, etc. No guessing what kind of desserts they have, or how the drinks look. The attention to detail here really makes these place stand out in my opinion.This will definitely be our new place going forward!

We stopped in after work. It's near to a few hotels in the Chester area. It felt like we were just there a really long time. Drink sizes seemed to increase without an increase in alcohol, was unclear where our appetizers were even after ordering entrees. Food was good, I enjoyed everything I ate. A Tierra Y Mar and a sangria. They had free parking and were easy to access. There were graduation decorations up, which was funny. Music was loud in there. The experience was fine, and to be fair we were a bigger group on a Monday.

This is a review for a visit on 10/14/2024, on what is now called indigenous peoples day. We were off that day and my real live adult son (a built-in designated driver) took me out for what was supposed to be breakfast but turned out to be brunch. I ordered the Carnitas. It came with beans and rice. My boy ordered the usual, which was a burrito. Came with the usual chips and salsa and that southern white sauce that tastes like "cool ranch". But what I definitely liked was that the complementary chips came with a bean dip/refried bean dip.I ordered a margarita. At my old big age I know what a margarita is. I just wanted a standard, you know, lime salt, or sugar rimmed but they gave me some kind of pineapple margarita with fruit. I brought this up. They said it was a regular margarita, whatever I ain't finna argue about no booze. Long story short the Carnitas were delicious. They were the most moistest and freshest Carnitas that I've ever had at a restaurant in this area. The chips were hot. The salsa was delicious. And all of that pineapple whatever kind of margarita got your girl drunk off that one drink, and It wasn't even 1pm yet.The day was lost. But whatever. Someone there said that they have burritos de desayunos and I'm definitely gonna have to try that. I recommend.

Authentic Mexican food! We were so excited when we walked in and realized this would be an authentic experience. The food was amazing! The staff went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed, offered refills, etc.

Conveniently located beside the hotel I where I was staying, this little gem has good food and drinks. This was my second visit and I believe the management has changed since the last time. I had the shrimp burrito with grilled onions, peppers and covered in queso and it was delicious. I also had a pineapple margarita on the rocks that I couldn't finish but you can take it with you as they allow cocktails to go which is a plus.

First visit to La Raina. Not sure what was here before, but from the outside and inside it gives the vibe of a diner. I was warmly greeted and was provided a menu. After a minute settled on a settled on a burrito loco. It was incredibly good and supplants another area restaurant as my favorite for a burrito.The salsas that came with the chips were also very good, but the chips themselves were just ok..Based on only this dish, I highly recommend!

Family friendly from the menu to the staff. They are happy when you are and it shows. Great food and drink menu and just all around great place to grab a bite. The mango salsa is out of this world.....and trust me order the small Margarita it is more then enough. Outstanding quality.

As a California transplant, this is the best Mexican food I've had in 13 years of living in Virginia. Great service and proper food. Feels like the best kind tiny restaurant.

Awesome! Friendly staff put the delicious chips and dips on the table within a minute of us sitting down. Multiple staff checked in with us to make sure we had ordered and the food was served quickly steaming hot, huge portion. The place is clean (including bathroom) with Mexican music and a very nice vibe. even asked if we'd like to try mango salsa (si!) everything was delicious!
