"One of the popular booths at the Richmond Night Market is of course Ponchos Tacos! You can’t say you’ve been to the Richmond Night Market until you’ve made a stop here! Their famous birria tacos hit different. Their birria tacos were everything! It’s an explosion of juicy, cheesy, crispiness in each and every saucy bite! I tried their secret menu item…the walking taco Takis! It’s packed with flavour, spice and crunch! It’s the ultimate taco experience! Everything you love about tacos gets combined into a bag of Takis! It was honestly so fire! Ponchos Tacos are worth every hype! These guys have bold flavour & serious snack satisfaction! So run don’t walk to Ponchos Tacos!"
