El Mexicano Restaurant & Cafe

The Best Restaurants in Richmond, CA | Eater SF

"In a neighborhood replete with taquerias, always-bustling El Mexicano (at some point rebranded from its former name, Los Mexicanos) stands out for its all-around consistency — there isn’t really a badly executed meat on the menu (though the suadero, the al pastor, and the cueritos, or braised pork skin, are paricular standouts), and the burritos are just as reliably tasty as the tacos. This is also home to some of the best tortas in the city — specifically a gut-busting carnitas number that’s overstuffed with tender, crispy-edged pork and fresh lettuce, tomato, and avocado." - Eater Staff
