This was the surprise of all the places we ate at during the trip. Great flavor, nothing was over complicated, and had to go back for seconds. Don't miss the small floral selection for viewing in the area and the Hawaiian honeycreeper, ʻApapane. Added to the Big Island rotation.

This is a fantastic taco place in a quite remote, small town of Volcano, HI. Absolutely great taste, nicely packed and arranged, well above the expectations from a small two person food truck. I wish I stayed more in that town or else would have loved to go back.

We tried this Taco shop as it was one of the limited options near Volcanoes National Park. We enjoyed the tacos, but we were not a huge fan of the white sauce on the tacos.
I am not sure if the menu mentioned the white sauce or not, but had I known there would be a white sauce I would have asked for it on the side. Overall the tacos were good, but I wish they had a house made salsa or sauce, and the prices are a little steep for such a small plate of tacos.

WARNING!!!! My mom and I waited 35min for our order. Really disappointed. Food was good but cashier was selfish for not telling us it would take as long as it did.

People are just starving when they come here for any kind of food. This area really doesn't have that many options. No offense to them, just a small taco truck trying to make a few good tips. But seriously, it shouldn't be rated this high. The food took a while to make and it was meh. Come here if you are only desperate.

It's for National park people! Hold on to your sense of adventure, sit at the rustic picnic bench, under a tarp, and enjoy some of the best food I've had in a long time. Staff are very friendly.

Fantastic tacos! We had the roast pork tacos and they were so good for a snack
After hiking all day at Hawaii Volcanoes NP, we wanted food… Rico’s is two miles from the entrance and worth the stop.
Did we sit on a picnic bench in the rain and inhale our tacos? Absolutely.
Carne asada burrito was friggin amazing.
Yeah, it’s in a guy’s side yard/driveway. So what? The food is delicious.
Do yourself a solid and eat up!

You want to eat here. Trust me.
Convenient to the National park entrance, and easy to find. Two brand new picnic tables to sit and eat.
The food was delicious and reasonably priced with good portions.
After walking 9 miles in the park, these tacos were sooo welcome.

Very close to the park entrance, and so convenient. After hiking 9 miles in the park, these tacos were like manna from heaven. Crispy birria tacos were perfectly crispy with cheese and so flavorful. Chicken tinga taco was delicious. Husband also enjoyed his carnitas burrito. Portions were good and prices reasonable. They’ve got a couple nice new picnic tables which were perfect to sit at while we stuffed our faces with food. We ate in the rain and I’d do it again.

There aren't many options for places to eat on a Monday afternoon in Volcano, Hawaii. Fortunately, Rico's Taco Shop was open. The cheese quesadilla and pork tacos were OK.
