    Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, a little before 1, and I just knew it was going to be busy! We ordered our food and had to wait around until a table opened up. Once seated, we got our drinks right away. And complimentary chips and salsa which are the only reason I love this place HAHA jkjk I've been coming here since I was little so it's very nostalgic for me. I love their wet burritos! But this day i got tacos de carnitas and asada. The carnitas were so soft but needed salt. The asada was crispy and full of flavor. I got an horchata & it was DELICIOUS. My boyfriend got the taquitos (chicken) & enchilada (chicken) plate & omg it was so good!! I would definitely get that next time.

    Idk if it's cuz I'm from Nor Cal but this has got to be the best burrito I have had. The service was very quick and painless and the atmosphere had authenticity. Most definitely would come back here again during my work trips.

    I've been eating taco Rico since I was a kid. My mom used to work in Norwalk and always brought us here. I don't know what they put the in the chicken Cesar salad but it's amazing till this day. I finally visited again recently after moving to Norwalk and had the chicken salad and a torta de asada. They also give you chips and salsa which is a plus. Service has always been great and prices are not crazy. Definitely will be visiting more often.

    Decided on Taco Rico to cater a small holiday gathering @ home. I had been here in the past and seemed like something changed ( quality). We ordered a fewest items to try, and decide what to serve. All items were delicious just like old times. We were hosting for 10 people and wanted a good variety. Maria was very helpful w/ recommendations and we decided on Taco Rico Plate, chicken Enchiladas and Cheese Enchiladas, Beans & Rice. Chips & Salsa was provided, along with/ flour & corn tortillas. We decided to have it delivered rather than having to pick up the day of. Everything was delivered on time with a smile, and I couldn't be happier.I would definitely recommend Taco Rico, and will consider for future events.

    My favorite Mexican restaurant. I always introduce my friends and family to this place. Probably the most authentic in my opinion. Their chips and salsa are amazing. The service here is always outstanding. It's self order at the counter and seat yourself type of establishment. It's not very big and depending on time this place gets busy. It's fast service. Clean. Average noise. You can't go wrong with anything you order. Any burrito is delicious especially if you get a wet burrito. My all time favorite dish is the El Taco Rico plate. I've had it both with Steak and Chicken. I love everything about it. They have really good beans and rice. They have really good quality food. Flavors are authentic. Highly recommend.

    5 foot Burrito (half asada and half carnitas).

    This place is a nice gem in the city of Norwalk. I picked up a five foot burrito, taquitos, salsa, guacamole, and chips. This place always hits the spot. The workers are great and always friendly!! It's a nice local spot and always seems to have local customers and is reasonably priced.

    I was recommended this place by a friend a while ago, and the time to come here finally came. I ended up ordering the wet burrito with asada and horchata. Overall, my food was alright, nothing too special. I just moved in the area and this restaurant is nearby so I do plan on coming back in the future, probably to try their breakfast items.

    The items are prepared fresh. They also allow dietary modifications, just in case your allergic or have other issues. The venue is quaint and the service is quite hospitable. Oh, if your vegetarian, don't be afraid, they have you covered.

    Doing laundry and my go to Mexican mom and pop a couple of doors down. Ordered 1 carne asada burrito my daughter says it was really good. I had a El Pastor wet burrito. Good as always El Pastor moist not dry and sauce was great. Always smells great when I walk in the ladies at the counter are always so friendly and bilingual since I don't speak fluent Spanish.

    Words cannot express how much I love this place. I'm picky when it comes to poke shops as fish and…read moresauce quality not only vary from place to place but are also the two ingredients that make the bowl. Their fish looks beautiful and they have an array of sauces (I assume) are made in house. Best tasting bowls around! The place is clean and the staff is friendly. Cannot recommend them enough!

    Poke has never failed me before, and it has remained true to this day. Simply Poke lives up to its…read morename with the simplicity of its ordering process. I came in the afternoon with no line despite my expectations of a lunch rush, so that was awesome for me. My order is as follows: Size: Large Base: 1/2 salad, 1/2 rice. Protein: 3 scoops tuna, 1 scoop spicy tuna Mix: Cucumber, onion, jalapeño, cilantro Sauce: Ponzu Toppings: Furikake, green onion, ginger I had very limited interaction with the two ladies at the front, but they did their job and that's all any customer can ask for. The bowl satiated my appetite to an extent, but I was expecting a little bit more with a $20 purchase. I believe they lowered the amount of total protein scoops from five to four for a large bowl. But hey, resources are getting scarce by the day I guess. Tuna and spicy tuna was pretty great, although the ratio of protein to sides seemed a little too disproportionate than what I'm used to with other Poke places. So in other words- pretty solid, not amazing. Will probably go back again.
