Love for Abuelita’s on DC EATER’s “Best Restaurants in Richmond, Virginia”
Mar 16, 2025 | by John M.
Abuelita’s is the only South Richmond spot named to EATER DC’s The Best Restaurants in Richmond, Virginia:
Husband-and-wife team Everardo Fonseca and Karina Benavides have created an oasis of guisos —rich stews reminiscent of their childhood in Mexico — in the Southside of Richmond. Eight different versions rotate daily utilizing seasonal vegetables and proteins and all are served with freshly pressed, Maseca-based dough tortillas, zippy rice, and deeply flavorful refried beans.
