I recently got a job in the area, and decided to check out Soul Taco since it was walkable. When you walk in you grab a menu and order at the bar. Enter Pat, the bar tender/server. She was so sweet. She checked on me without hovering and removed my dishes promptly, always calling me by my name (not something I care about, to be honest, but I found it made her seem even friendlier). I would come back just to be in Pat's presence. In fact, I'm considering coming back after work for a margarita.
Now the food. Most of the menu items are battered and fried (I suppose that is the "Soul" part), so not exactly a light lunch, but still delicious. I got the Nashville Hot and the Shrimp Po' Boy. The tacos are about $5 each, but they do offer a lunch special of 3 for $12 for specific options, which is why I didn't go that route. They were ready very quickly and Pat brought them right over.
Ambience wise, they were pumping somewhat loud pop music, which I enjoyed since I was solo. I could potentially see it being a little loud for a conversation.
All in all, the meal might have been a little heavy for returning to work, but I will absolutely be back in the evening sometime.
Came to Richmond, VA on vacation from Texas and came across this place Soul Taco. Me and my family where surprised how good these tacos where. Did not expect. Not your ordinary tacos they had their own spin on it. I really respect that. Coming from Houston Texas where Tacos are king. I would put these up against Texas tacos. I really enjoyed the food here definitely recommend this place to everyone. We had the Oxtail taco, jerk chicken taco, birria tacos, buttermilk batter fried chicken tacos, country fried carne asada tacos. All where great.
This place was worth the stop in Richmond. The decorations, music and experience was awesome. The food was really good! I would like to come back one day, the deep fried carne asada taco is where it’s at!
I went to Soul Taco on a whim because it was close to my hotel downtown. I ended up ordering a delicious mojito from the bar while I waited on my tacos. I ordered the fried catfish taco, the buttermilk chicken taco and the oxtail taco & all 3 were amazing! So much flavor and very reasonably priced. I’ll definitely stop by again before I leave town.
While traveling through, I saw Soul Taco in the Virginia travel guide so decided to try it out.
It was lunchtime so service was not your typical restaurant. Maybe this is how it normally works. You pick up a menu at the entrance and place your order at the bar. Frankie was nice and told us about the “must try” for first timers. Did not disappoint. Food was fresh and tasty. Their hot sauce wasn’t really spicy but my heat level is not average. The lunch special was cool. Two tacos any style and a beer for $11. Can’t beat that.
Would definitely recommend if your a taco lover.
The food was very good — I particularly enjoyed my shrimp, chicken and carne asada tacos! Kathryn was a great, attentive server and her services lifted the atmosphere for us…the interior could be brought to life a bit more. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is that they could use to improve the aesthetics, but comfort was definitely elevated by the phenomenal service
The food is delicious! Customer service is great and like the music. Good drink optu8ns also! Lunch was definitely vibing today!
I sat at the bar and was made to feel so welcome by the bartender Connor. He made a fantastic margarita and the vegan taco I had was very good, shout out the Eric the chef I was told who made it. Overall had a great experience!
That buttermilk fried chicken is the TRUTH! Chicken is crispy, flavorful and sauce 🔥🔥 I have to come back to try the catfish taco! I wasn’t super crazy about the oxtail taco! All in all 10/10 will be back!!
Delicious tacos, our server Frankie was a delight and we happened to be there on a trivia night, which was fun. Will return if we come back to Richmond.
