Shelly's Food, Comida Latina

I’ve been going to Shelly’s for the past two years. The past two visits have proven to be my last. Used to be you could get seated and served pretty quick, the food was hot and tasty and the prices were great. They all changed about six months ago when the man who ran the cash register was not there and neither was the waitress we always had. Two visits in a row the food was questionable at best. The service is slow and the waitress seems to care less if you get your food at all. We went yesterday for lunch. Papussas and an order of tacos. Waited 40 minutes and had to ask twice where my order was. The papussas were great, the tacos were awful. Greasy and very few toppings. When it came time to pay I waited another 10 minutes in line while they took care of a carry out order. Not like they are short staffed. Plenty of people working but they just can’t get their act together. On a side note the booths are dirty and the walls are marred up with food stains. Not a good look. I’ll try the

This authentic latina food! Until someone proves me otherwise this is probably the best in Richmond.

If you like papusas you're going to love this place! I've been to El Salvador a couple times and have a lot of El Salvadorian friends, so I've had my fair share... These were perfectly cooked, and the pork and cheese was my favorite. Also, very reasonable prices!! Got a large horchata which was basically an old school 711 big gulp that I had to share with the people I went with! If it wasn't far away I'd be eating here at least once a week!
