affordable and amazing food!! our friends performed here the other week and were recommended this place! def worth the trip! thank you!
nice atmosphere you can watch your favorite sports game or maybe catch a live band. the servers are always nice and the food comes out pretty quick. I love their happy hour specials and the taco special. It's a great spot for a great bite to eat or a date night, I could easily become a regular here.
I would recommend the Bandito's Deluxe Nachos with Spicy Ground Beef. I paid $13 with taxes. Food: I had the Bandito's Deluxe Nachos with Spicy Ground Beef. The topping were salsa, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, cilantro, jalapeños and tomatoes over tortilla chips. Spicy ground beef is not spicy at all and there are other options for meat such a shredded beef and pork. Cheese is topped over the ground beef and chips, not extremely cheesy which I liked. This was a really good order of nachos, I was satisfied. The portion was plenitful. It was enough for two servings for me. No queso only shredded cheese Service: I ordered to-go. My interaction with the server was typical nothing out of the ordinary. The server did thank me for coming in, which was cool to be thanked as a customer because I could have chosen from any other place. It was slow at the time around 4pm on a Sunday. Ambiance: This is a standard bar/restaurant; the mexican theme isn't displayed much outside of the signage and menu items. There is a massive bar with traditional seating. This restaurant hosts a lot of activities throughout the week. Tuesday- Open Mic, Wednesday- Karaoke, Thursday- Saturday: Live Music, DJs, and Saturday and Sunday: Brunch
Love Banditos! This is my fave spot in Richmond for nachos (with shredded chicken) but also love the shredded chicken tacos. I go a lot of Sunday evenings and the service is always hit or miss. They seem to not have enough staff. It's always two guys behind the bar but the same two guys wait on tables too. So if the bar is full, then service slacks for people seated in the dining area. Otherwise, good spot for a meal and a beer!
This review is for their music space. While I have not had food here before, I've had friends tell me it's just ok. I came for their Devil's Night Bash! and had a blast. The bouncer at the front took his job really seriously. He was a bit rude to me and my friends. I'm not sure if this is normal, but it was a cash only event. Thankfully I always have cash on me. For my friends who didn't, there was an ATM near the bathrooms. When you enter, there is a full bar. My friends enjoyed ordering PBRs and mixed drinks. The music space is in a separate section to the right. It feels like a patio space, but indoors (especially with booths in the back). It was pretty small so it was made for an intimate show. I loved the set up they had with movies playing in the background. I'd come back for another show at Bandito's.
This place has some of the best burritos around. Lots of food-chimichanga, rice, beans-for just one order. The service was quick, even in the later hours of the night. Low light in the performance room adds to the intimate feeling the audience feels. For food and performances, this place is a must!
My wife and I along with a friend went here for dinner on a Friday evening. This place is in downtown Richmond and has a small parking lot along with street parking. We were seated right away and the service was good throughout. Two people had fish tacos and I had the classico burrito. Both were very good!! The fish had excellent flavor and the burrito was large, good and very filling. This place appears to have an arcade room but we did not go in there. The food was very good and I plan to be back again at some point.
