This IS your grandmother's Mexican: Abuelita's

Richmond Famous

We know you’ve heard of Abuelita’s: #rvadine can’t stop talking about the delicious food coming out of Karina Benavides' and Everardo Fonseca’s temple to guisos Mexicanos. The two restaurant veterans, who are partners both in life and in love, opened a spot centered around Mexican home cooking and hospitality that is truly their own. We talk about thinking outside the “Mexican box;" the challenges involved in sticking with their vision; what it’s like being the hot new spot in Richmond; and their recent Elby nomination.
