Soul Taco - Shockoe Slip

We stumbled upon this place and we were pleasantly surprised! 🌮 The food was absolutely delicious!!!! One person in our party did receive a lukewarm taco and a room temperature drink but everyone else’s food was impeccable. The flavor of the Jerk Chicken taco was amazing! Now it does have a kick, so if you’re not used to spicy seasoning be cautious! The catfish taco tasted like my grandma was frying fish in the back!! The bean taco was textured perfectly and not mushy like some other bean tacos I’ve had. Their corn tortillas didn’t fall apart which is always a concern when getting tacos. When you order chips and guacamole, it’s unlimited! So while we didn’t get a refill on guacamole, it was great to know we had the option! The drinks are not batch made— the Jose Palmer is made BY CUP so

Tacos were extremely good. The food was Fresh and had that flavor difference we were looking for from what we are used to in Texas. Tacos Ranked in Reverse Order 4. Corn Meal Crusted Catfish - it was good but was just average compared to the other 3 Taco's 3. Buttermilk Battered Fried Chicken - Very solid taco would have #2 had it not been for #2 2. Nashville Hot Fried Chicken - This taco was loaded with flavor and good heat. This Taco had my taste buds dancing 1. Oxtail Al Pastor - Easy Win for us. Oxtail was extremely flavorful and extremely tender. The meat just melted in your mouth. The Pineapple salsa sent it to another level. (MUST TRY) Overall I give this place 5 stars from the tacos to the service.👍🏾👍🏾

As a Texan I was thrilled to find Soul Taco on my visit to Richmond! Their unique blend of flavors really hit the spot, offering a delightful twist on classic dishes. The tacos were packed with bold flavors and the atmosphere felt welcoming, bridging that familiar taco comfort with a fresh, local vibe. If you’re craving a taste of home while exploring new places, Soul Taco is a must-visit.

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.

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.
