I keep coming back! Such delicious food! The tortillas are made by hand and you can taste the love. The salsas are amazing and some of the cheapest tacos and burritos in the area. Feels like my best kept secret! The service is amazing, such a kind family business. Asada burritos and tacos all the way! Cash or zelle! read more

Super sweet and friendly couple, the tortillas were fresh pressed, and the red salsa is soooo good. They also put a ton of meat in each taco. Easy to find free metered parking along Pico, and they have tables and chairs if you wanted to sit and eat. Go support them! They deserve it :) read more

Fresh pressed tortilla and quick service! One of my favorite street taco stands in LA. The price is a little higher than other stands but for fresh tortilla, I think it's pretty worth it! Parking is in the laundromat behind the stand and there's usually a handful of spots open. read more

Soooooo good! The tortillas are amazing and they give you free beans! delicious tacos read more

Rico's Tacos - two people preparing food under a tent - Street Vendors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ok. I've spent a few years trying different taco stands throughout LA. I have two places I go to when I am craving. But never noticed this stand that's sorta close to my place. The tortilla is made fresh to order. The salsa was warm...as if it was recently cooked...never knew salsa had to be cooked...but my chef brother confirmed, fresh salsa is cooked. The meat had flavor. Wish they had more drink options. They only had horchata that looked like it was from the night prior. Sides...radish, lime, onion cilantro, and something else. Not a lot. They were grilling up onions and pepper. So maybe if I was there a few hours later??? They might have more side options. I'll be back for sure. Maybe not right when they open at 7. Parking...I and a few other people parked at the laundry mat and walked over. read more

I also love this place. Quick, friendly, great food and a price that cant be beat. The best horchata IMO its flavorful and not too sweet. Of all the taco spots I have tried in my time in LA I keep coming back to this one. I used to live just a 15 min drive away now its more like 20-25 depending on traffic, but we still make a regular trip to get food from here. They make their own masa tortillas and they aim for perfection. It was really cute to watch them roll out tortillas and throw back the ones that were too small or not round. They take pride in the food they serve and is shows in the flavor quality and portion size you get. read more

Best late night food in the area. Don't miss out. Surprised there's this good Mexican food in the area tbh. Fresh tortillas for the tacos.

I almost bet the next time I go back they won't be there. Without signs of ever existing. Like a fuggen mirage to only exist in my memory of a delicious taco. They were that finger licking delicious, is it even possible they are real? Apparently so, says the other 2 reviews on Yelp. 2 al pastor tacos and a horchata for $3. Can. not. be. beat. What lured me here was that delicious meat on display. The guy shaving the pieces of meat off and that pineapple sitting on top. Looks legit!!! Tastes legit as well. Swing by and give them a try! read more

Top spot fr, if you get tacos and quesadillas from a place that has walls you're a walking L. Rico's on the block with it, making it fresh in front of you & the hot sauce is fye. Also the price is unbeatable you can grip 5 for 10 that's recession proof margins at work #kanye2024 read more

I have legit eaten several thousand burritos all over SoCal. I eat at least one burrito a day (usually two) and have been doing so for years. This is probably the best burrito I've ever had. Hard to say, but top 10 for sure. Everything is super fresh. I feel like most places just cover up subpar ingredients with tons of salt. This carnitas burrito was so clean and fresh that I almost couldn't believe it. Every single part of it was perfect. The beans, rice, carnitas were all fresh and the flavor was perfect. Even the onions and cilantro were crisp and fresh. The tortilla was made fresh right in front of me. It was $6 for a good portion. Similarly, large tacos were $1.50. You will have a hard time finding better burritos and tacos. Look, I know we're all loyal to that one corner spot at the end of the block where we live, but I don't care if they've been there for 40 years, this stand is just better. The only place I can think of that comes close is Cinco Puntos in East LA or La Chancla in Long Beach read more

Love this truck. Probably my favorite one. Al pastor is amazing, as is the Asada. Even the chicken is bomb. Quesadillas, tacos and burritos are good, but I like the mulatas the most. So good. read more

Best street tacos ever! Our friends live in the area, so they introduced us to this wonderful world of delicious street tacos, and omg, it was like "where have you been all my life". I'll be the first to admit that I was buzzed both times we had the tacos from here, but my tastebuds can't be so off when I'm inebriated that I can't tell what is good and bad. Their tortillas are great, their meats are delicious, the portions are generous, and the pricing is affordable. Their salsas are great too! My husband loves the cow head taco, but I stick with the generic carne asada. Lots of onion and cilantro, and it's so good, I'm drooling thinking about it. They're only there after 7pm, and I'm not sure if they're there every day, but try it next time you're driving by and see this street taco stand open. So good... can't wait to go again! read more

My favorite homemade neighborhood taco spot!! Great prices, great food! Can I ask for anything else.

Tacos Al pastor hit the spot! They're really nice too. Great music playing in the background as well.

I ate 7 tacos. Yup. Went to DTLA for Artwalk, only to have the OccupyLA folks ruin my plans for Kogi :[ Leonard W. mentioned about this great tacos place towards West LA so we headed there. To be honest, I did have my doubts at first. It's more of a taco stand rather than the usual taco trucks. However, as I walked up, I immediately noticed the pork on the vertical oven and I knew it was gonna be a good night. I'm a huge fan of the pastor, but it's not like the typical pastor. Essentially, it is like chicken shwarma, where they stack flat pieces of spicy pork on a metal rod, then placed on the rotating vertical oven. It is then shaved off, but the best part is definitely the little pineapple they slice from the top to add with the tacos! I went with 3 of the pastor and 2 carne asada to start. Both meats have a bunch of flavor and very tender. The pastor was definitely the best out of the two. A little fatty for the flavor! The best part though, is all the different toppings that they have. Pico de gallo, 3 types of salsas, cooked onions, raw onions, grilled chili peppers, cucumber, and cilantro. I went crazy and made all the tacos with different toppings. The salsa verde is probably my favorite and watch out for the grilled peppers. My mouth was burning for awhile haha. After I ate my 5 tacos and as I watched my friends finishing theirs, I had to get more so ordered two more of the pastor tacos and devoured it. The guy forgot the pineapple so make sure to ask for it! $1 for tacos and $5 for burritos. Saw the guy making the burritos, and wow they pack a lot of meat, so definitely worth the $5. There's also horchata and I like how it is not that sweet, but it might be because it is a bit watered down by the ice haha. Usually it is El Gallito or El Chato for me when I'm around this area, but I think Rico's is the new default! read more

This review is for the street taco set-up at night. NOT the truck that parks here during the day. OMG. These are REALLY good street tacos. Every thing rings of freshness. The tortillas are pressed fresh and grilled as you order. In a corner of the tortilla grill, a huge crock of pinto beans simmer. (Those are free btw, added gratis on top of your taco selection.) They a big variety of taco meats. Standard fare of carne asada, chicken and pastor. THEN they have the tongues and cheeks of what I'm not sure, my tastes are simple: I went with asada and pastor. Next stop: the salsa table. The green tomatillos sauce was so fresh it was still slightly warm. The avocado salsa was also good. Add your onions and cilantro and a squeeze of lemon, mercy those tacos were good. Second visit: I discovered the grilled onions and jallepenos. And the quality of everything was on point with the first visit. read more

Rico's Tacos - Homemade tortillas. - Street Vendors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

RIGHT ON! No sooner had I placed my order when one of these talented women began hand-making the tortillas for my tacos. That was the first inkling that this would be memorable. Was it ever. I got 4 steak and 1 tongue taco and their deliciousness was astounding. The condiments were fresh and plentiful. Great job. I will be back regularly. You're welcome. read more

3 1/2 stars. Not all the tacos here are amazing. Most of them are good, the pastor is the best. Definitely get the pastor. What I loved about this place is they've got baked beans to put on your taco for free! I've never seen this as a free taco dressing. So you can totally fill up on just 2 tacos if you want and it's stupid cheap. read more

Go here if you're looking for good portions of meat to tortilla. Don't go here if you don't like the gamey taste of beef tongue and beef head. read more

Food - the asada and pastor tacos paired perfectly with the freshly made tortillas. Beans are also available to put as a topping which is always a plus. Staff - so helpful, friendly, accommodating Atmosphere - homey, warm, neighborhood feels, one table to sit Also a location on Venice and Overland read more

The Al Pastor here is awesome! This is the meat that you see spinning and cooking as you pull up. I also love that all the prices are even numbered, so change needed. Tacos are $1, Burritos $5, and Horchata $1. With a burrito, you get beans, rice, cilantro and onions along with your meat choice. You can customize anyway you like. They have all of the condiments right there and you and take what you need. There is also a long table set up with a few seats but I would say most people get theirs to-go. This review and place is not to be confused with the truck that is there during the daytime. This STAND is here at night only. Come by and see for yourself. read more

I'm not sure what their relationship to the very popular Leo's Taco might be, but they have Leo's logos taped over on the side & back of their truck coupled with the same style Al Pastor I grew to love from the afore mentioned truck (complete with slice of pineapple). Rico's has a great selection of salsas and condiments, and best of all: none of the crazy gangsta carnival like atmosphere of Leo's. Every time I go, the environment is easy going and the staff is friendly. All I ever eat at Rico's is the Al Pastor tacos, which they make them right in front of you (for a very reasonable one dollar), so I can't speak for anything else other than the al pastor tacos. Actually... I've had the al pastor burrito once, but I wasn't impressed, which is why I'm giving it a 4 star review as opposed to a 5. read more

Rico's Tacos - Rico's tacos (fuck the truck) - Street Vendors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My family member went to pick up food for us this rainy day to eat at home. We love street tacos. We love pretty much any food that is Mexican. You can't get much better Mexican food than in Los Angeles California. I ordered two al pastor tacos and one al pastor quesadilla. I ate half the quesadilla first. What I liked about it is that it was filled with more than just cheese and meat. It included onions, cilantro, and avocado. Add a little jalapeno and salsa and a full one is a meal in itself. The salsa was hot and flavorful. Probably more hot than flavorful. But I ended up only giving 4 stars because I didn't go to the restaurant myself. But the food was really good for eating it on the go. I can't wait to come back. :) read more

This place is awesome!!! I went late on a Saturday night. There was a short line, however they move fast. The tacos are so good!!! You can't go wrong with anything here. I love that they have all the onions, cilantro and salsas already individually packaged to keep things clean. The prices are very good. Cheaper than most other taco places in the area and way better food. read more

Just had their al pastor quesadilla. It was bomb and goes well with their green salsa! I was planning to go to el chatto but they don't open until 9pm and the line for Leo's was just too long and the parking is horrendous. This was a great alternative and I am planning to go back! They also give way more meat than el chatto! The salsa bar is clean, which is always a plus! read more

I keep it simple. I like my tacos just how I like my men: HOT! Rico's salsa is just that. This is a man who can handle his meat. He's got a great team and all of the ingredients to make for an unforgettable night. WARNING: NOT for tourists. This is a "locals only" kind of spot. Respect the name, and learn the game kids. This is Taco-town, USA! read more

On a Sunday at 11pm the need for a taco came... But where???? Where ???? And at this time I want some of that authentic stuff ! On Fairfax and Pico Blvd by Hayworth street I saw the light. Thank you for providing everything in Al Pastor, chorizo , tripa , carne asada , chicharrón ! read more

The best of the best, and very nice people. Very friendly and their food taste better than it smells (if that's even possible). Very minimal wait time. Highly recommend it. read more

Can't go wrong with fresh tortillas!! Great deal for $1.25. Tacos are larger than ur average street tacos with a single handmade tortilla. Asada - the best out of the 3. Flavorful n tender. Paired with the fresh tortillas...... bomb. Chicken - salty but tasty. Pastor - not my favorite. Bland n crunchy. Fresh tortillas - soft n fluffy. Super delicious. Service - uber friendly. Love the ladies here. Parking - street Hours - open 7 days a week until midnight. Half pass midnight on the weekends. Happy taco eating!! read more

These guys got the best tacos ever! If you don't feel like waiting in line at Leos or El Chato then there's no reason why you're not coming here. To be honest they are better than Leo's and El Chato combined in my opinion in terms of taste and quality. Some of my friends might disagree but anybody who I've ever taken here is extremely impressed and I've converted many of my friends who were former Leo's fans Who haven't been back there since. This place is the BOMB read more

Rico's Tacos - Getting down in her sidewalk kitchen - Street Vendors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Rico's is pretty awesome. I've seen some different cooks over the past few years but their quality has always been pretty good for what you pay for. Great for a late night snack or a late-ish dinner. The prices have gone up over the past few years too, can't blame them for that. Glad they finally added a tip jar because I've always wanted to tip! They keep it pretty simple, with the tacos but they also added quesadillas! I love them! I always get the onions, lime, and cilantro. Their green sauce is where it's at. Definitely come here to try if you get the chance, you can spend $10 and get a great meal. read more

My only gripe is that I have to wait til 7 for them to open. I've been coming here at least weekly for years. I absolutely love their food. I usually get a pastor burrito with everything on it. Their light green sauce is perfection. read more

It's always great to find a new street tacos spot that manages to be cheap AND authentic! Rico's tacos isn't a truck, but rather a stand that is set up on the side of Pico. The tortillas are handmade and FRESH TO ORDER. I prefer flour to corn tortillas and was super excited when I found out they used flour. Their carne asada was really good and so were their salsas (which are self-serve). Their red salsa was actually pretty spicy which I loved! $1.50/taco is sliightly more expensive than other places, but this place is worth it! read more

Nice homemade tortillas and good sauces but the asada is too chewy almost like rubber. Almost impossible to eat.

They set up at 7pm every night. Don't listen to the one star reviews, stupid people say stupid things. Call the police again douch they have a food vendor permit. And is authentic Mexican street food. If you want an Americanized version loaded with cheese and sour cream, take yourself to Chipotle and get salmonella whole you're at it. The women who run the place are sweethearts. I stumbley way through ordering in Spanish every time and they politely teach me the proper way. I trust the cleanliness and quality of this food over Chipotle any night of the week. The flavors are simple but delicious. The sauces they have are amazing. Especially the avocado sauce, it's unbelievably delicious and matches the red sauce perfectly. The red sauce brings the heat. I wasn't expecting it to be as spicy as it was and had some left over the next day, which went gangbusters on my scrambled eggs. They have high ratings for a reason. They make delicious burritos and tacos. I have had the steak and chicken burrito. I prefer the chicken. Also, el pastor taco is phenomenal. If you ask for a burrito with everything it comes with meat, chopped onions and cilantro, pinto beans and seasoned rice. You can also get sautéed onions and jalapeños but, the one time I did, my burrito was pretty soggy when I got home. Ask for them on the side. read more
