(Apologies if it bad form to resurrect a years-old topic.)

I moved to Richmond in March 2002, and this location has always been a family-friendly Mexican restaurant, first Mexico and later Original Mexican. It was clear in that time I was new to town that the space had previously been a Chinese restaurant (a fact confirmed by at least one waiter), but when the change happened I couldn't say.

The place Bahama Don described to me sounds like what is now Full Kee, a somewhat rundown but nonetheless popular Chinese spot.

For what it's worth, this section of Horsepen has become a Little Vietnam, with three solid, no-frills restaurants in a two block area.
