Mexican Restaurant · Fan - Oregon Hill - Carver · 79 tips and reviews
Molly Szkotak: The tacos are generously sized and just $3. Get the carnitas and one of their creative cocktails and the iffy service won't faze you. Closest thing to authentic Mex this side of La Milpa.
Bryan Mortensen: Pretty inexpensive, but very good. Taco meat choices are broad. Salsas are authentic, if not a little too spicy. Service is subpar, but the atmosphere of the dining area makes up for it. Beach vibe.
Jim Contoris: The food is authentic and delicious. Burritos are huge. I saw several complaints about the service in others reviews. Our server was excellent. She was friendly, attentive and fast. Excellent meal.

Cuban Restaurant · The Fan · 109 tips and reviews
Online Producer: The bread on the side, with the palm leaf baked into the top, certifies the authenticity of the family-owned, 15-year-old establishment.
Rachel Mercer: Best Cuban sandwiches around. They also are one of the few places to serve Jupina (pineapple soda) and plantains. If you have a sweet tooth be sure to buy both.
RVA Badge: An beloved neighborhood restaurant, the food is well worth the wait. Don't forget to always save room for the Tres leches, Food Network even featured the dessert on The Best Thing I Ever Ate.

Shelli Lutz: My absolute fave place in Richmond! Good food, fun and authentic atmosphere, owner's lovely, never disappointed.

Brian Clay: This place is awesome! Can't go wrong, but my favorites are the Jalapeno Please, El Chancho, and the Rickety Cricket. But, again you can't go wrong.
Frank Lynch: Burgers a bit on the small side but incredibly tasty. Fries are wonderful and great beer list.
Elle Breezee: The people are nice, the food is great! Burgers and fries done right, and an impressive beer list, fried Oreos!!!!!!!
