Conejo is a modern Mexican restaurant that offers a pleasant dining experience with its bright, sunny ambiance and welcoming service. The menu features a variety of contemporary Mexican dishes, from brunch favorites to classic Tex-Mex fare.
The food is generally well-received, with highlights including the fresh guacamole, expertly seasoned esquites, and a delicious breakfast burrito filled with tender brisket, fluffy eggs, and fried potatoes. The chilaquiles, enfrijoladas, and chorizo and egg tacos also earn praise for their quality ingredients and flavors.
Diners appreciate the three complimentary homemade salsas, each with its own distinct profile, that add a flavorful kick to the dishes. The service is attentive and hospitable, even as the restaurant gets busier.
While the pricing is on the higher side, the overall value is considered excellent, with a full meal for five people costing less than $20 per person. The restaurant's modern Mexican offerings, combined with its great ambiance and service, make Conejo a standout option in the Richmond metro area.
However, not every dish is a hit. The tortilla chips served with the guacamole were reported to be thick and stale, and the guacamole itself lacked flavor. The birria and carnitas tacos were also met with mixed reviews, with the meat and accompanying gravy lacking in seasoning.
Despite these occasional missteps, Conejo remains a popular destination for those seeking a contemporary Mexican dining experience in a pleasant setting.
