El Tiempo (Richmond)

El Tiempo was Part II of Mama Ninfa's Friday and I was really really full on Mama Ninfa's Friday night.  My family always orders a combination of the following dishes at this restaurant, so I am not qualified to review anything but 
  • carnitas
  • veggie fajitas
  • brisket flautas
  • any given combo of shrimp and bacon
That being said, everything at this restaurant is top-notch.  The carnitas are the best in town, no doubt.  There is no other restaurant in the world that will give you as much variety of charry veggies that come with the veggie fajitas.  The brisket flautas have nothing to do with Mexico, but man are they Texas.  

For a review of the guac, see Ninfa's on Navigation.  It's the same, and it's delicious.  Ditto on the ritas.

I love this place, although last summer the valet crashed my dad's car.

yeah, I, too, love the veggie fajitas. I'm a vegetarian, and as such face many obstacles and prejudices in Texas. However, these veggie fajitas will qualify for what omnivores would call, "its really good. I eat meat and even I liked it."

However, being the person who had to do primary clean up on getting the car fixed after last summer's crash, I feel conflicted endorsing the place. Seriously, I would highly recommend just parking at the Pink Pussy Cat. Maybe there is a 3 limbed stripper there.
