Welcome to Cielito Lindo

“ 5 Stars for the food alone. Not a decorated interior, but still clean. The Staff was very kind and the prices were more than fair. There was plenty of seating if you were going with friends. We got the mixed pupusas, asada tacos, and an extra side of rice and beans. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the slaw that came with the pupusas. The tacos were the authentic style I craved for a while. Looking forward to going back and trying new things. We looked around at the market after Dinner; they also had a great selection with fair prices. ”

“ If you haven't tried their food, you're missing out on this hidden gem!! I finally got a chance to check this place out after driving by multiple multiple times. This is one of those hole in the wall places so you know its delicious! Behind the grocery store they have a little restaurant area where you can dine in or get take out. My partner and I were craving some pupusas so we got 1 one kind. Not only did they come out with gooey cheese but also super soft and chewy. My favorite was the pork and cheese because the meat was so flavorful. The cheese and loroco (a type of flower) was also solid. It tasted kinda like a slightly sweet but also seasoned broccoli florets to me. The gordita lengua was also delicious! I haven't had a quality gordita for years now and their was crispy and packed with chewy, well-seasoned lengua pieces. I wish they gave me more lettuce but the combination of the fried tortilla, meat, veggies, sour cream, and salsa was perfecto! Their salsa also had just the right spice kick - aka went well with everything I put it on! Got to try some of my partner's beef burrito and it was so flavorful and seasoned nicely! I appreciated their of meat to cheese to beans/rice ratio! Staff were super nice/smiley and patient with us. Its not the most pretty/sanitary place but the food sure is yummy! The store also sell lots of cool things and we were able to find some Latino/Mexican snacks from our childhood. They have a mini-parking lot too which was quite convenient. Hands down would come back for their food! ”

“ My Latina friend took me here telling me it's one of the most authentic tasting places she has found in Richmond. Papusas were 10/10 and the carne asada tacos were so fresh and had incredible flavor. Traditional style with cilantro, white onion and avocad kn for. Tortilla. Served with a verse salsa that had a little kick to it! Will definitely come back and try something else. J saw some soup dishes on the menu that I want to try, but I was craving tacos! Everything is very reasonably priced !! And very friendly staff. ”
