El Chepas Comida Mexicana 10372 Leadbetter Road, Ashland, VA 23005

"What passes for Mexican food around here is fairly simple high grease high calorie that is far simpler than Mexico City cuisine. As a former Texan, Mexican food in central VA has been disappointing. This place offers more sophisticated Mexican food that's worth trying."

"Excited about this addition to the Atlee area! The delightful surprise was the Smokey chipotle salsa. The steak burrito was different from your Mi Jalisco or Mexico burrito, and I enjoyed the new flavors!"

"Ordered off DoorDash this evening. The food came nicely packaged with plenty of silverware and napkins (may seem small but to me that’s a BIG deal nowadays). We got tacos de carne asada and carnitas along with a side of queso. The queso has pico in it and it’s THICC but in a good way. Not the regular runny queso. The meat portions in the tacos were pretty hefty. Both the carne asada and carnitas were GREAT!! Although I will say the carne asada was a little too pepper-y. We also got a side of rice and beans. Unfortunately The beans were hard and the rice was dry :( I was really looking forward to the sides esp since the tacos were so good. But nonetheless all in all I would def order from here again!"

"I ordered the tacos de alambre, tacos de carne asada, torta, cilantro rice, beans, esquites!!! Flan…Everything was delicious!! To lick your fingers and making you want more! Portions are so generous with an affordable price. I highly recommend it! Best Authentic Mexican restaurant that I’ve tried so far in Richmond!! Yum!!"

"This is the BEST Mexican food I've had in Richmond. Everything was made from scratch including the black beans and salsa - no jarred stuff here! The carnitas in the quesdilla were crispy and moist - perfect!! We also got  Tacos de Alambre which my husband said were the best he's ever had, Tortas which was super flavorful and Elote (Street Corn) which was delicious! I highly recommend. Take out only (or delivery) out of the Rise and Shine Diner."
