I found this spot because of their $1 tacos on Tuesdays and Thursdays.... small, but honestly worth it for the price. I mean... $1, you can't complain. The service is solid, it's always clean inside, and they've got a good variety of salsas to choose from read more

I ordered taquitos, there was enough guacamole for 1 bite, and the bite had no chicken in it and as you see in the photo it was burnt read more

AVOID! I got food poisoning from those damm tacos. Throwing up and chunks of meat in the mix. $1 for a mfk reason. A V O I D !! Previously: The food in this establishment got me pretty sick the day after (today) the food was decent but tasted a bit off. read more

Average. $1 tacos are small, but they are not stingy with the meat. Also got an order of taquitos. They were Chicken, perfectly crispy and really good amount of chicken. The service was quick and the restaurant was clean. I will come back and try other dishes and let you know how it goes. Can't really taste the sazón on some dollar tacos. read more

Ricos Tacos El Tio - delicious. - Mexican Near Me - Bellflower, California

1$ tacos on Tuesday and Thursday. A lot of different meats to choose from and a nice salsa bar. This place provides the basics and is very satisfying to come to. I had 2 asada tacos and 3 Al pastor and they were pretty good. Will definitely be back. read more

Quesabirria tacos and the large consome that comes with them is perfection. By far one of my favorite places for this. The carne asada tortas are also pretty good! read more

Not a good place to eat they are overpriced for small portions the tacos should be 50 cents at this point for the size of them the meat is low quality and not flavorful read more

Ricos Tacos El Tio - This place is a joke these are not tacos they are so small for a large price ridiculous never coming back - Mexican Near Me - Bellflower, California

I ordered 4 tacos $1.80 each, there was hardly any meat in the tacos.... They used the smallest tortillas and it was 85% tortilla 15% meat! Almost no meat in them. I ordered chicken, asada, cabeza and tripa, the chicken was hard as a rock and looked old like it had been sitting all day. My son ordered a burrito it was the same small amount of meat all rice and beans. The burrito was $11.+ Never again. Very disappointing. Put it this way each taco I ate in 2 bites and that was only bc I didn't want a mouth full of tortilla. The salsa bar is good, they have a big variety of stuff and everything was fresh, the carrots were a bit disappointing as well as they were sweet and not spicy or in vinegar as usual. The service was good, friendly and we didn't wait long. The ambiance was ok, the place was empty. read more

Not happy to give bad reviews but tried them by ordering Chorizo and eggs, eggs mexicana, rice and beans were flavorless and way below par of any other restaurants in area. Both of the breakfast plates were only edible if you were really hungry. Sadly this is the first time the entire food order was thrown out. Not sure why uber eats rated this place 4.6? Later looked on Yelp and saw the true rating. nuff said read more

$0.99 tacos two days out of the week! Quick service and good portions! Inviting atmosphere! Good burritos too!

Bad. That's the word that comes to mind. 99 cent tacos were being advertised for today and that's mainly what drew me to this joint. I ordered 4 tacos, along with a side of rice and beans. My total came out to $12 and I couldn't add up how rice and beans added an extra $8. All of my food fit inside of ONE to-go box; as soon as I saw this I knew I was going to be disappointed. My sides of rice and beans were just small dollops in the box and my four tacos were disappointingly bland and puny. It was pitiful and felt like a waste of money. No one wants to spend their hard earned money on below average food, the food was mediocre AT BEST! I recently came back from a trip to Mexico and maybe my standards for tacos are a little higher than they should be, personal biases aside, I've been to great taco spots in LA county and this wasn't one of them. California and its beautiful taco loving populace deserve better. By no means does Mexican Food HAVE to be cheap/low cost, but there's something to be said about a Mexican restaurant that offers; small portions, low quality food, and Los Angeles prices. Do better! read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and I REALLY wanted to like this place to make my go-to spot, but sad to say I am very disappointed in the quality of food. We got carne asada fries and a combination plate with lengua. First off, the carne asada fries were soggy and oily. It was not made fresh and I knew it was already going to be bad as soon as I saw them take it out of the microwave. Lacking flavor and salt. The carne was dry and hard. The rice in the combination plate was okay, but the lengua tasted gamey. The salsa bar is a disaster. The pickled carrots were not vinegary enough and also lacked salt. The cucumbers were note fresh since they had a yellow hue and soggy texture. All the the salsas has a funky smell and taste. The guacamole salsa was a green color that reminds me toxic waste (I'm not exaggerating when I say this) I usually don't feel so strongly disappointed by food, but this was not good. I would not recommend this place. read more

Tacos were good. Meat soft and well cooked. Parking is limited on site but there is plenty of street parking.

My pastor vampiro was awful! It had traces of EGG in it from my husbands food. When i went to say it didn't taste right the guy making the food reached in my food and picked out pieces of egg. that was so gross and honestly really dirty because i can see him not changing the gloves and i couldn't even finish my food it was so nasty and probably won't be coming back any time soon. read more

I tried this restaurant for the first time today and I was impressed. I ordered 4 tacos, 2 Asada and 2 Pollo and they were well-cooked, well-seasoned, and delicious. The accoutrements bar had 3 types of salsa, guacamole, lime, horseradish, and lime...it all looked and tasted very fresh. Lastly, the prices were very reasonable with tacos only being $1.25. I wish this place the best of luck and look forward to eat there again. read more

My neighbor recommended me this spot and I'm so glad she did as the food here is delicious. The nachos are bomb! The vampiritos are also soo good! We enjoy the taco portions. Good pricing also! read more

Ordered a carnitas burrito, was delicious!!! All very fresh. It had rice, beans, salsa and I asked for cheese. The rice and beans had great flavor and the meat was perfect. I don't live in the area but passed by it at 920pm and it was the only mex place open in the area and I'm very pleased it was :) Normally I'll take a pic and add it but got it to go. When ever in the area ill will be back. read more

I don't like the men that's cooking can't cook what so ever the carne Assad meat is horrible , bad attitudes makes bad food I work across the street and I'm never spending money in there I'm telling all my coworkers ! read more

Will NEVER COME HERE AGAIN!!! The lady behind the counter was talking shit and didn't know I understood Spanish. ALSO, they need to go to Luis Meat Market to buy their meat cause it taste like dog food!! Don't waste your time trying this place. I usually don't leave bad reviews but when you get disrespected from an employee then they deserve it!! read more

The nastiest tacos of my life!!! Salsa and toppings had a weird smell like spoiled. The green salsa containers looked as if they were getting ready to pop that only means they weren't properly refrigerated!!! The al pastor and asada tacos were so gross! Definitely NOT fresh meat!! I truly hope management is reading this and does something about it!!!!! read more

I work close by and decided to give this new place a try. Glad I did! Best tacos I have had in a long time! I would give their salsa bar 5 stars alone. Great house salsa, great guac salsa, and a very spicy pineapple salsa for the heat seekers! Not sure what they put in their beans..but yummy! Great to find local mexican food spot by my work. read more

Ricos Tacos El Tio - Taco Plate - Mexican Near Me - Bellflower, California

This location is Closed. I been several times and haven't been open. Sorry to see them go they have the best burritos.

Please don't get the shrimp fajitas platter! They have absolutely zero flavor. I wanted to eat that since redondo beach is closed, but these sucked horribly. Didn't satisfy my cravings at all. Smh. I wish I can give zero stars. Oh wells. I'll stick to the pastor burrito and their birria. read more

Carnitas burrito was good. Like the veggies packed with my to go bag. They don't make hard shell tacos, too bad.

Asada burrito was fire. There sauce to me was spicy and delicious. Definitely recommending the spot and going back!

Worst burritos ever! I ordered taco de buche and there was more beans and rice than anything. Don't waste your time going there. My husband spoke to the lady there and she wants to act stupid. The people there are trying to scrimp amd save meat so they can take that shit home to their family!! Fuck that place! And the lady was behind the register on her phone on social media. You go there to get goof food and you come out with shit!! read more

First customer alert! I happened to drive in, the back way and noticed a new Mexican joint in the neighborhood. So, I stopped by, and was the very first customer. The carne asada tacos were excellent. I anxiously await the Al Pastor equipment to get set up, so I can try those, as well as the seafood. Hoping for them to have much success. Hang that lucky, first dollar. I'll be back! read more

Tacos El Tio doesnt give you what you pay for. I bought 2 pozoles with meat. i received the pozoles with no meat. I returned them and addressed the issue. I received 2 pozoles with no meat once again. They charge you full price and dont give you any meat. read more

First and last time I ever eat at this establishment, The pastor had no flavor and the meat was hard. Also the shrimp was chewy, I wouldn't feed my dogs there food. Terrible read more

Wife and I stopped by Ricos to grab some food simple order... tacos and a chicken quesadilla. But when we recieved our food.. no cheese in the quesadilla.....how do you #$%* up a quesadilla? It has cheese in the name.... what ever read more

Just ok. Price was reasonable but unfortunately the flavor was not great. Pretty much all the meats were dry. Ordered tacos de asada, al pastor, chicken and chorizo. Out of all four I'd say the pastor was best. Chorizo, asada, and chicken were all over cooked. Rice and beans were just ok. Husband had a burrito and said that the flavor was just ok. Nothing was really worth coming back for. Considering that they just opened I had high expectations on freshness. I was not expecting dry meat. Horchata was too sweet but that's personal preference. Lastly they gave me the wrong meat on one of my tacos Not a big deal at all but the man questioned me about receiving the correct amount of tacos I said yes but one was the wrong meat. He asked for one back, dumped it in the trash, and then handed me the correct taco in my hand not on my plate or a new plate.. in my hand. I wish them luck. read more

What a GRAND OPENING! Me and my husband were eyeing this place for about a week or so and decided to go yesterday, just to find out it was their grand opening! The food is DELICIOUS and soooo authentic. Will definitely be back! Super affordable too read more

Honestly, it doesn't get any better than this place. The quality of service is exceptional. I absolutely will be recommending this spot to all my friends and family. This place took care of me like no other! You can ask for any kind of food, any kind of requests and they will deliver with excellence. More than anything, the owners are beyond caring. They care that you have a wonderful visit and are served correctly. I'd tell you what I recommend to eat, but honestly- all of it was delicious. The wait time is efficient and so is their staff. I promise you, you will not be dissatisfied or disappointed. Thank you Tacos El Tio! read more

You won't be disappointed ! By far my favorite burrito spot ! Growing up I would go to the same chain in the South Bay.
