We walked a few blocks over here at night after the place we were initially were going to was closed. It felt like a pretty sketchy area as we just got into town and weren't sure about it. When we found the place I really didn't expect much but it was actually really good. My partner had some chicken quesadillas with beans and rice and I did 3 pastor tacos which were a generous size. Both meals were delicious. It appears to be family run and the young kid working there was polite and gave great service. You'll like this place!

We recently checked out El Taco Rico and had high hopes for their menu. Honestly, the shrimp taco was pretty solid. The rest of the items we tried, though, were kind of a letdown in comparison. So if you go, definitely grab that shrimp taco.

While traveling and visiting the city, we came across this Mexican restaurant and it was a great find. The food was delicious and full of flavor, the decor was beautiful, and the ambience was warm and inviting. The staff was very kind and welcoming, making our experience even better. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area! The food was so good I forgot to take a picture, but safe to say we liked it.

I've been coming to this place for about a year now and in the beginning, I was very satisfied with the food and service. So much so that I've given a good review and bragged to family and coworkers about how good the burgers and chicken wings are. But it seems like lately, they've been totally inconsistent with the food. Depending on who's cooking, the food could either be great or a total bust. There's never an in between. I just ordered wings and a cheeseburger. The burger was fined and the fries were okay but the wings were burnt on the outside. I ordered two orders of them and neither one came out good. This wasn't the first time that it happened and it's the reason why I no longer give a tip unless I see the order first. Because of this, I'm going to totally limit if not just stop going to this place and start getting my food elsewhere. It's a shame because I would rather support small businesses but if this is the type of service you get, I would rather go back to ordering from the big boys. I was totally unhappy with my order after paying over $30 for something I can't eat and enjoy. I'm not going to even mention all of the feathers that was still on those wings.
Update: I trashed it. What a waste of money. After a while, the chicken did not smell good at all and I spent a lot of time in the restroom afterwards. Just let that soak in for a second. I think this is going to be my last trip at this place. Good customer service but the food has declined.
