Oh my- where to start!?The fresh, bright and clean decor was inviting and well planned, and was a pleasant surprise!I ordered the AMAZING, fresh and oh so delicious Barbacoa Sopes! (I devoured it until I could devour no more and was left with a very full stomach and leftovers to bring home with us!My husband ordered a couple tacos- that were quickly inhaled and enjoyed, so much so- he also ordered the enchilada plate... and also brought home all by the 2 enchiladas.No room to try the Tres Leche Cake- but that's ok, I'll be be back at this place and will be sure to save some room for that!Jessica was our amazing and friendly server, she's only there on Fridays, but that's ok- it just means i'll be back to try the Quesabirria that was sold out within an hour of me learning about this excellent place!We walked out with VERY full stomachs, a full to-go box filled with leftovers- and our tab was ONLY $40!Can't beat that or even GET that anywhere else in 2024!PROS: Very friendly service, but hands down- the fresh food prepared each day! The tortillas, Sopes, everything is made fresh everyday starting at 4:00-5:00 in the morning from what our wonderful server told us, and it tasted like it too!CONS: (which is MINIMAL) we were a bit disappointed they didn't have queso or appetizer menu options, but that didn't stop us ! We started with a fresh dish of Guacamole and the Free Friday Margarita that did not skimp on the tequila! (You won't really need appetizers with how full you will get!)

This is definitely the best and most authentic Mexican restaurant in the entire Texoma area!!! So happy to have a place to get amazing quesabirria and super fresh flavorful food. Service was awesome with Jessica(she is only there on Fridays) the salsa is fresh and flavorful and different than other places. Sopes are made fresh everyday. We got the el pastor and they were amazing. Also tried the chorizo Gordita which is made with fresh masa to order. Guacamole was amazing with the perfect amount of sat and lime juice. They also give a complimentary margarita on Fridays. If you haven’t been yet, you need to go!!! It will be your new addiction ?

My husband and I love tacos and pick some up at restaurants or food trucks at least once a week and today he stopped by El Ricon because he saw TACO signs as he passed by. THANK GOODNESS HE DID!! They are the best tacos I have EVER HAD!! The tortillas were homemade and phenomenal. They included generous amounts of onions, cilantro, and limes on the side! Both the green and orange sauces were to die for and very spicy which we love. We recommend the Asada tacos with the hot sauces. We also highly recommend the Barbacoa tacos that come with the broth on the side to dip in. So yum and juicy, very similar to Birria style tacos. I could go on and on about their food and how amazing it was! They are a must try! I will add photos the next time I go in since this time we ate them so fast we didn’t get a chance to snap a picture!! My husband also said that the lady working was so kind, friendly, and helpful!

I recommend it to anyone looking for a good spot to eat Mexican food!Pictured are the best steak sopes I’ve ever tried, and my other favorite would have to be their Friday specialty, Mole de olla! ???

I’ve been here twice and have loved it both times!Chips and Salsa: The chips are always crispy and taste fresh. The salsa has a rich flavor. 5/5The sopes de bistec (steak): My absolute favorite. They have the perfect crunch and the taste is as authentic as it gets. 5/5Service: The servers are very attentive and friendly. 5/5Vegetarian options: You can order the sopes with no meat. They’ll add avocado and lettuce if you want. According to my vegetarian friend, they’re delicious!
