About Taco Rico

Taco Rico is a restaurant that holds nostalgia for some, serving food that reminds people of their childhood. The baked potato remains a popular choice and is highly praised. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including tacos, flautas, tortas, burritos, panchos, parrilladas, and plates like carne guisada. The combo #1, featuring 4 tacos with deshebrada on corn tortillas, a dressed baked potato, a bowl of beans, and a drink, is noted as a great value. Customers often mention that the food is good and plentiful, with beans being some of the best they've ever had.

While the food is often served fresh and hot, there have been occasional inconsistencies with other dishes, such as the tacos having burnt or gamey meat and the fajita tacos lacking flavor. Changes in serving practices have also been noted, like charro beans, which used to be unlimited but are no longer. The atmosphere is pleasant, with traditional Mexican decor and soft mariachi music, and the dining area is clean. The restaurant has two parts to the dining room, accommodating both groups and smaller parties.

Customer service is generally very good, with some staff being very friendly, helpful, and attentive, always going the extra mile. Overall, Taco Rico is appreciated for its delicious meals, excellent prices, and friendly service, making it a place customers are eager to return to.
