Taco Rico: Reviews & Ratings
It's changed a bit in the past year. The food and service stay relatively the same which is great, which was good. But also they brought back a feature I thought was gone for good, the salsa bottles. During covid times they had the salsa on small plastic containers which felt like they were rationing the salsa, but they have brought back the bottles, which I love, since I do use a lot of salsa. Other than that, it's still the se pleasing place to go have any meal in.
I have to hand it out to this location. Very satisfied with their service and food. We ordered our tripas very crispy and they were excellent. They did a fantastic job. Waitresses are very friendly and helpful. Unlike the other location on Ware Road. They have horrible service. I'll definitely be back to this location.
Excellent food. Good service. Our first time visit to Taco Rico's. Before going in, I wasn't expecting much. It was clean and refreshing. What I ordered was more than I expected, it was fantastic. I will return over and over again.
Love, love, love taco rico! The service is great. The restaurant is always very clean.
Ordering through the phone is easy and convenient. The frijoles are delicious. My boyfriend loves ordering the tripa durado they make it very crispy and the tripa is also good. The potato could be a little more loaded. They always make sure to give lime, salsa and everything you need. I'm a regular.
Our family just wanted to say thank you so much for the fantastic customer service from your employee, Matthew, at the Mission, Tx restaurant. We got the best customer service today that we’ve ever received there. Matthew was very kind, courteous, and took the time to listen carefully to our order when placing it. Thank you Matthew for the exceptional customer service. The food was very delicious! We truly appreciate your kindness. 5 stars from us! Keep up the great work!
I got a Taco pirata the vegan way. I do recommend if you want with meat it's good too. The ranchero beans si que nunca pueden faltar. It's good. Aside the Taco pirata, my kids like to eat a whole potatoes with sour cream and cheese with meat and bacon beats. I do recommend this place to anyone looking to eat Mexican taquitos. Try it for yourselves. Here are a few fotos I want to share with you all.
I moved here from Tennessee to make a lot more progression than I did up north, This restaurant became my favorite as soon as I got here! The team has always been super nice and their food is delicious! If I could give them 10 stars I would!
