Best Casual Restaurants in Richmond

Helpful waiter, great drinks and food and lively atmosphere

We tried this restaurant due to recommendations and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and the experience was excellent. We started with the Fried Green Tomatos and Onion Straws for appetizers and really enjoyed them. I had their Meatloaf dinner and my wife the Spaghetti Squash. They also were delicious. I could not finish my meal it was so large. I would definitely return when I visit Richmond again.

Lolita's offers a welcoming atmosphere with truly great service and some good drinks. However, the food itself proved to be a bit of a mixed bag. While the hot sauce/salsa is a definite highlight, the main dishes left something to be desired. The much-talked-about Carne Asada "fries" were surprisingly breakfast-style potatoes, which, while having a good flavor, felt underwhelming for the price, especially lacking expected additions like guacamole and jalapeños. My sopes featured brisket that unfortunately was quite dry, though the other components were indeed quite tasty. Overall, Lolita's shows promise with its service and beverages, but the food quality needs more consistency to truly impress.

Loved Tiara & Andrew. Perfect music to listen to and still be able to hear and chat with people around my table.

Had a great night taking some out of town family to a nice dinner! I 100% forget our servers name but she was fantastic, food and service was all 10/10. It was our first time and we’ll be sure to be back
