This hole in the wall taco spot always knows how to cook good food. I just go for their tacos and they are always superb.

Just saw a white haired gentleman with an Al' Rico's Tacos shirt on going into smart and final getting a basket from the cart coral and throwing the trash that was in it on the ground, even though he walked right past a trash can going through the front door. Not ok sir, makes me wonder what happens in the kitchen that is considered "not best practice" shame on you for littering, please try and be a better example. read more

Al's Ricos is a long standing Fresno tradition with a loyal friendly customer base. Since it's an outdoor walk up counter style service you'll have the opportunity to make some friends while waiting on most likely the cheapest meal in town. $1.80 for 2 asada tacos! Are they stuffed with meat? Not exactly, but the meat is tasty and flavorful. Tacos are a little greasy but it just adds to the flavor. I like that the salsa is spicy and packs some heat which balances out the greasiness. Line can get long but service is pretty quick. read more

2 soft street tacos for $1.45 I decided to splurge and get the crispy tacos. I've been driving by this place for a lil bit and I finally decided to try. This is all take away or eat in your car. I had crispy tacos with carne adobada. I was pretty happy with my choice. It's so much easier to get them here than it is to make them! Hah, I'm loving this lil place. Looking forward to trying more items but I think I'm kinda hooked on the crispy tacos for now. By the way crispy tacos cost a bit more but worth the splurge if you like them crispy. read more

This place has been around for years, ever since I was a little kid. They were closed down for a few months/years at one point though because I heard they had failed some sort of inspection, which could have been a health inspection. Their prices have hardly gone up, and I think it's because the volume of people that they serve is high and so they are able to make a profit even when their prices are so low. I think one of their best dishes is the crispy taco, which is still a corn tortilla but put on the burner until it is crispy. However, if you are in a rush, I recommend that you do not get the crispy taco since it takes a while to prepare. If you get the standard 2 tacos, you'll pay around $2 for a meal (if you add cheese) and you'll get the food in less than 5 minutes. The salsa could be more flavorful and less watery but overall, the food here is great considering the price that you pay. This place has definitely been a staple in the area for as long as I can remember. read more

Very quaint outdoor, grab and go style food service. Plenty of parking, near downtown and the freeway. No seating available. But very quick service to take home. The line was long(so you know it's good) but they go to us super quickly, tops 10 mins. We ordered the tacos combo, the burrito and horchata. We got two carne asadas, cabbage, mild salsa, lemon, and ordered cream cheese (this is the ticket right here) in the combo along with pinto beans and rice--and it was SO GOOD! The burrito had grilled beef, extra cream cheese, rice and beans along with the cabbage and it was also really yummy--I topped it with salsa. Horchata is always a must with Mexican food so I had to have that too and definitely a good choice! read more

You get what you pay for. They're definitely cheap but in my opinion not worth your money. I ordered a plate of tacos. At least that's what I thought i got. Instead it was just a plate of straight oil. So much oil it made me lose my appetite. I picked up a taco, drenched in oil spilling out of it as well. Wouldn't feed it to my dogs either. Straight in the garbage it went. Horchata was watered down like a mf. I will not be coming back to this place. Save your time/money. I should've taken a pic of my plate but it was already in the garbage where it belongs. read more

Beyond yummy! It's a hole in the wall, but food is great. You have to stand in line to order, but food comes out quickly.

Best bang for your buck!!! If u don't wanna cook then u can feed the whole fam for $20.

I loooove their tacos. They're reasonably priced and delicious the wait is a tiny bit long but worth it!

These little Ricos tacos, are very good. When my daughter comes up from Visalia her and her daughter usually stop in and get 4 each. How can you beat 2 for 1.80, that is right 2 for 1.80. They also have an assortment of meats and other dish besides tacos read more

There food is really good and reasonable prices . They are polite and good service and fast . Excellent food I recommend this place. read more

I used to go here a lot when I was younger and was super excited to go back when I got into town to visit but unfortunately it is not the same quality definitely taste it like cheap tacos read more

Beans aren't refried, and they put tomatoes on EVERYTHING. Lady working cash register was very unpleasant, and made me uncomfortable. Also tables would be beneficial to eat the food while it's warm. read more

There tacos are very good and tasty for the price always a go to for a cheap meal,when you don't wanna cook

Found many other competitors to compare to with time. Last I had the burrito here, the tortilla was stale and the filling tasted old. Super disappointed! Do better. You had a good thing going a few years Al Rico. Shit happens but I hope y'all get it together because what I was served recently...was NOT it. It was disrespectful . . . read more

Everything was very well service food was great tacos a little greasy other then that it was a good visit

Preface: So, I've never been against the mask mandate, I've used a mask since the beginning and I've never had an even slightly strange moment involving a mask. I have stopped here numerous times in the morning in the past month and the first time -- I noticed several people ordering from this outside location without masks, some with masks. So after noticing I had forgotten my mask and searching my vehicle for one I approached the outdoor window and they luckily they took my order. Without question. Each morning. Up until today -- I pulled up as usual I'm standing far from the outdoor counter and the main lady asks "do you have a mask?" I reply "I don't think so, but I will check." I go to my vehicle and search through to find out I had left my mask at home. Granted, in the mornings I take my son to his grandmas and then go straight home to get ready for the day. Recently I have been stopping at Al Rico's and they've been allowing me to order maskless. However on this day I return from my vehicle without a "mask" but I did completely cover my nose and mouth with my T-shirt and she said "if you don't have a mask, leave" I asked her why they had been serving me prior days. Which she replies "I wasn't here". To imply that there are different sets of rules for different people. I asked her why my nose and mouth being completely covered by my T-shirt wasn't enough or why it was different from the paper mask that she had on that had less cover. She wouldn't answer me, because there was no difference she was just being mean for whatever reason. Now, I live incredibly close to this place and she has most definitely taken my order maskless numerous times. I recognized her as would anyone recognize her that lives in the area -- and before you ask -- I am always polite and I always tip... I will not return here because I'm fairly certain this had absolutely nothing to do with a mask -- but it almost felt like cause I'm a güero, where I live it, happens often. My family has been coming here for 2 generations. My Tia loves the breakfast burritos, the cheap but good tacos, she is disabled and I am the one who gets food for her and helps her around. This has been really disappointing, she was very rude, and a liar -- to someone who lives and works in the community... I understand precautions, but even after covering my nose and mouth securely I was still refused service without any explanation... I will continue to go to Castillo's and Las Mañanitas, as they have never been so shady, or rude -- EVER! #foodonventura #gueroproblems read more

All my family got was asada tacos. We got a total of 14 asada tacos & the total was $11 and some change. The tacos were good, not anything life changing but for the price!? We got a lot of tacos & fed the whole family for under $12!! If the food wasn't such a good price I'd have given them 3 stars but like I said the price makes it 4 stars for me lol. Definitely would come back if I wanted some good cheap tacos! read more

Very good tacos on a budget been going there for generations. Don't judge by its cover I Highly recommended!

Some of the best tacos in town. Ive been having these since the were 2/$1 back when I was a kid. Now as an adult I still enjoy them and best part is the price. There about $1 each now. Which given the economy we live in now its not bad at all. Ive only ever had the tacos, not sure about the test of the food. The service is always good never had a bad encounter. Area is ok too me but then again I grew up on this side of town. read more

Definitely didn't taste like I remember. Very long line and the food was way below average.

This has been my favorite taco spot for years, I go to the Marks and Ashlan location and I get the EXACT same thing every time. I went on 2/16/23 and a different lady was working the window, I asked for my usual taco order with cheese and the price is higher than normal. She says that is the correct price, I show her the receipts from previous times, she says the other lady is wrong and has been wrong (over a hundred times?) All of a sudden she can't speak good english so good, acts dumb and shrugs her shoulders. I went across town to the Ventura location and the price is what it always is, yeah it was only a little more, but I hate being overcharged and/or charged wrong especially when I can show what i've been charged before. Not sure i'll go back even if the regular lady (who's actually really nice) is there. Really sucks because I like the spot but i'm not going to support a business where an employee is wrong to a customer and instead of trying to make it right treats you like dirt. read more

How can you not like this place?? Two tacos for 1.35..Been there a zillion times and have always left happy. The tacos always have plenty of meat..they are filling and so good. This place is very consistent. It's always a get go when were downtown!! read more

The tortilla could be better. Meat was okay. Sauce and lemon with it is a plus. Price is 2 tacos for $1.45 not bad. read more

Back then the tacos was really good and now it's sooooooo nasty if you want good tacos go to Anthony's taco good favor, no watery meat and

My favorite taco spot in all of fresno. Was able to buy tacos for my entire staff and was very reasonably priced. The salsa is .

I got sick from the asada tacos. It's a small place always hot and flies everywhere inside. Customer service maybe based on your presence not sure I paid and got 6 asada tacos with cabbage/tomato read more

Best pork tamales in town, the meat to masa ratio is ridiculous. and the price for $1.40. Can't beat that! Cheap, good eats!

Best Asada Burrito I have had, Wasn't greasy at all and it was HUGE! And they were very fast and making our order! Would definitely return! read more

The second time I've been here to have the tacos and you can't beat the price. 2 for $1.35 is awesome, but unfortunately, this time I came I didn't enjoy them as much. The food is served out of a shack, and it gets pretty hot waiting outside in the heat. I went with my vegetarian friend and they were nice enough to give her bean tacos, but she wasn't a huge fan (but she knew that the taste wouldn't necessarily be the same, but shes had good vegetarian tacos before). I had the chicken and beef tacos. The beef tacos were tasty and juicy, but the chicken was pretty dry. The area is a little sketchy, but I've gone in the daytime and it was fine. If you need a cheap meal and are craving tacos, these will do the trick but I probably will head to other places. read more

So good!! The line is always long even though there's a taco shop across the street that never ever has a line haha

I got a plate of 4 tacos, another plate of 6 tacos, a med asada burrito, and an asada nacho for $19 and some change. Let me tell you that it was a waste of money. The nachos were disappointing and had nacho cheese and bland toppings as if you got them from a high school basketball game. My tacos were cold and had a weird after taste to the meat. They didn't even put a lot of meat like the other Mexican places. I'm so disappointed and will never go here again ! read more

This gotta be one of the best spots in town, bomb ass tacos for good ass price! They always got a line so you know this where it's at and I order more after my 1st order that's how good it is! read more
