Parking can be a bit tricky because of the other popular businesses and a church nearby. Very quaint dining area and easy to order at the register. I opted to order to-go. Got 2 pollo, 2 carne, and a horchata for about $19 with tax. Food took about 20 mins, which is typical made-to-order timing. Tacos were both delicious. Very flavorful, not fatty, and the tortillas had great flavor and were the perfect thickness as to not fall apart while you're eating. The salsas provided were also pretty good. I liked the flavor and spice of red more than the green. Horchata was pretty sweet and could have used a bit more cinnamon. Final thoughts: Would definitely recommend for a quick bite of authentic flavors. Will definitely be back.

Ordering was a breeze, there was no line. The guy who took my order spoke English very well--he was very pleasant, I placed my order with ease. I order 2 chicken tacos and 2 steak tacos. The chicken was very flavorless but the steak....... Omg, the steak was to die for, it was juicy and flavorful. I was a bit disappointed in the chicken tacos but I would definitely recommend the steak tacos. I didn't care for either one of the sauces they gave me on the side--wouldn't recommend. Also, I gave 4 stars for the quantity. I feel like the portions were just as large ordering fajitas from a sit down restaurant.

Let me start by saying the food is absolutely great. However, parking isn't the best, and since it was Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday, it was extremely packed. I ordered my food an hour in advance and still had to wait, and my order ended up being incorrect. Because of that, I can't give five stars for customer service. That said, it was very busy, and the staff was genuinely apologetic about the mistake, so I'm giving them 4 out of 5 stars. Overall, I'll definitely be back. I really enjoyed the food--and again, the birria ramen was amazing!

Taco review…read more Seafood is clearly their focus / specialty, but the tacos were solid. People complain about fattiness, but I like my meat moist and flavorful, gotta have some fat to make that happen. I concede that the meat isn't particularly "flavorful" beyond the taste of the meat itself, but that's fine by me. They provide two types of salsa to punch it up to your liking. I don't want my steaks covered in spices, I want to taste the beef. So these tacos were good in my book. I got cabeza and barbacoa. A LOT of meat per taco. Comes with a two salsas, a deep fried little onion, a pickled pepper, cucumber, lime, and radish. (And salt packets ). I was really pleased with it. I want to come back and try the ceviche or seafood cocktails.

Also it only came with 1 salsa type that was good but super smoky. Would've liked the typical option of salsa Verde as well

I wouldn't even recommend this place to my worst enemy. First off they have no prices posted, secondly they only have about 8 items that they sell. I don't understand how they could mess up tacos to the extent that they did... I ordered 4 tacos (2 chicken and 2 steak). The tacos were $5.00 a piece and the quesadilla was $13 I believe. This was the worse $34.00 I've ever spent. The steak tacos were so small and they were dry but, they did have a little flavor to them. The chicken tacos were like dry shredded rubber--horrible. I couldn't even finish them, even after drenching them in all the sauce I had. The lime was so hard I had to fight to get juice out of it and when I did get juice to come out it was bitter--yuck! They doubled up on the wraps like most places do, but it was useless since the tacos were dried out. The cilantro and onions tasted fresh but that's about it. I removed the extra wraps and they were clean and looked unused. I thought the reason for the double wraps were to help support the first wrap so the taco doesn't come apart..... The wraps weren't even warmed together, they were literally separate--ugh.. The quesadilla was huge until my son opened it and looked inside. There wasn't much filling at all.The wrap was big and soggy--matter of fact I think it was a burrito instead of a quesadilla. It didn't look like it was heated nor was it cut. Everything is wrong at this place, I would avoid at all cost. This has to be the worst taco spot in Maryland.. I am very disappointed in this place, it was the worse experience ever. I've attached the pictures of all the bs they sold me. I

El Taco Rico has some tables outside of the small restaurant, and there are a few inside. When you walk in, tables are to the left, and the register is to your right. They have a plastic screen up, and you can see their small menu... there are no physical ones, and I had to ask what their taco types were. From anyone just passing by, the place honestly doesn't look like much, and everything looks kind of old. I opted for 3 chicken tacos... which came to $12, I was surprised they were $4 each! Around my way I usualy expect things like tacos to be way cheaper lol. So I was a tad concerned... I went to sit down outside, and when the plate was brought to me (I chose dine-in) my jaw almost dropped when I looked at my plate. The tacos were bigger than I expected and they were loaded with chicken! They brought out 3 bottles of sauce and veggies to put on the tacos too! Presentation and size immediately took my concerns away. When I took a bite... yes. The pulled chicken was tender and I was STUFFED after I finished all 3.

It's a hole in the wall! But hole in the walls are sometimes gems! I was the only female customer at 6ish. Quite a few men in the restaurant. The ladies working there are super nice, and attentive. Let's Get Into It! Cheese Enchilada - Met expectations. The chili sauce is not spicy and they made that enchilada cheesy! Fajitas- Met expectations. I have had better fajitas honestly but these weren't bad. Price point: Very Inexpensive for the amount of food! Overall, the place is decent. It has a El Salvadoran menu and Mexican menu, which for me I'm not a fan of. The Mexican dishes were okay but their tortillas were more thick and El Salvadoran style. I wouldn't return as the food was just okay for my liking. There were loud men singing at the top of their lungs like they were on the Latin Voice and that was off putting. I get it, they are having fun, but it wasn't karaoke night and was disturbing. I left after two songs of the man singing, thankfully I was already done. Definitely worth a try though for others.
