Fabulous!!!! Chicken tamale was everything you want it to be! Great flavor and moist without falling apart. Chicken, barbacoa and pastor tacos were fabulous. Carnita tostada was fantastic. Steak burrito had a great chew with great flavor. Rice and beans were good. Guac had a little too much crema for me. Would comeback and eat the tamale until I was sick! Super fast service. read more

These quesabirria tacos are life changing. The ratio of meat to cheese was perfect and the consume was phenomenal

TL;DR: While the food wasn't bad, there were a few disappointing items, and when you consider the service, price, and ambiance, there are much better Mexican joints all over the KC metro and Southwest Blvd in particular. If you want a recommendation, I love love love San Antonio Carniceria Y Tortilleria. Some friends and I stopped in for some tacos and tamales (not pictured) for dinner, and while most items were good, we weren't sure what to make of the chicken tacos, which tasted like they were seasoned with Indian curry powder (?). We were also disappointed by the tamales, which were mostly masa (tortilla paste) and not enough meat filling. Compared to other taco joints where you can grab your own limes, salsas, and condiments, there weren't enough limes to go around and we had trouble asking for more because the primary servers were two kids who were either busy serving orders or on their phones at the other side of the restaurant. Overall, it was a bit of an unfortunate experience. For the price, I'd still say it was worth it, but it wasn't quite the cool hole-in-the-wall we were expecting. read more

Kansas City staple for sure! $2 burrito day is now $3.50 and that's still a great deal! Looks like they've expanded the kitchen since I've been last. Looks like you're in Mexico! For cheap and pretty good food this is your place. Not sure if I'll be back, I just wasn't too impressed. My chicken was overly salty. The chips were stale so I didn't eat them. When they asked if everything is Ok I said yeah but these taste a little stale. She took the chips and I thought she would be bringing fresh ones but she did not. read more

There are not a lot of food places that get 5/5 stars in every category. This restaurant was very clean! Our server was extremely kind, welcoming, while also giving great recommendations. The food... The food deserved that moment of silence just now. It truly had my friend and I in pure bliss. The green salsa was my favorite but the hotter salsa which is the red orange was very good spicy, but greatly flavored. read more

This spot never disappoints. It's the best place to grab tacos in the metro! BAR NONE!

This restaurant has great service, charming decor and stays pretty busy with take out orders. I had an asada torta that was huge and delicious, it was a bit sloppy to eat but worth it. I got an assorted dozen tamales of pork and chicken to take home too, they told the cheese jalapeno are the most popular - I need to go back and try them. The green salsa that comes with chips when you dine in probably one of my favorite salsas in KC, in a spice wimp so if you like heat it may not be your deal. read more

I came here on a Tuesday evening after work. It wasn't packed so I was able to choose my seat by the window. I ordered queso as an appetizer though they did provide complimentary chips and salsa. The chorizo and chicken tacos were excellent. I could've eaten two more of those. I'll certainly return for those again. I didn't like the molida and carne asada tacos though so I probably won't get those again. read more

We stopped here for lunch. It's a hole in the wall restaurant, nothing fancy. I had street tacos (carnitas, pastor) and they were delicious. My husband had a tamale and two street tacos. The tamale was really good too. It's been awhile since we've been here but we'll coming again. I'm adding it to our rotation. If you like street tacos, you need to check this place out.

There's not a lot of places I'd willingly walk into that have bars on their windows but this place I would go and risk my life for. This little area is known for traditional Mexican food and it does not ever disappoint. Homemade tortillas, homemade salsas, tamales, everything. I think I could eat a thousand tamales from Rico's. This place is nothing short of amazing. If you're looking for a traditional Mexican restaurant give this a try. Give the whole block a try! read more

A delicious little taco joint! Came here for taco tuesday and got the pastor, barbacoa, and carne asada for $1.50 each and a small horchata.

Ricos Tacos Lupe - Deshebrada (Shredded Beef) Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Best tacos in the city!!!!! By far!!! I have been coming here for over 10 years and it gets better every time!

Seriously, best place to celebrate Taco Tuesdays!Rico's Taco definitely is a hole in the wall taco joint, but do not let the appearance scare you away. The tacos at their low price are undoubtedly worth it! This taco joint provides chips and salsa and is too good to pass up. The salsas come in squirt bottles but are unique and flavorful! I ordered three veggie tacos that come with black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole served on corn tortillas. Sounds pretty basic right? That's what I thought, but it was delicious! The corn tortillas were soft and warm, and I could seriously eat those alone. On Tuesdays, the tacos are $1. Taco Tuesday the right way! And they are making Burrito Thursdays a thing for $2. Definitely a must try place that is not breaking the bank! read more

Pretty good food. Quick, friendly service. Good value. Not much in terms of ambiance or frills.

Parking is hell, the fact you push the door even the the handle makes you want to pull can be tough and it can be crowded, BUT it's oh so worth it! The food here is some of the most authentic Mexican food I've ever had. Every bite tastes fresh and delicious, and their spicy red salsa is to die for! If you're ever in the mood for Taco Bell or Panchos the food at Ricos is better, cheaper, and most importantly it's made by people who care about what their product. They've got daily specials but my favorites are $1 tacos on Tuesday and $2 burritos on Thursday. They can get really busy so be sure to call you order in ahead of time if you're going to carry out. Hope you all can fall in love with this place as much as I have! read more

Taco addiction is real, friends. That simple combo of corn tortillas, carne asada or pastor meat, chopped cilantro and diced onions can completely take over your mind. Luckily for anyone in and around the Crossroads, Ricos Tacos Lupe delivers your fix at just $1.50 per hit.. I mean per taco. These authentic little tacos are worth every penny, bursting with flavor and with three table sauces to doctor them up if you'd like. I tried the pastor and asada which are always my personal favs. These didn't disappoint, although I did have to add on to my original order of three because I was both starving and they were hitting the spot. We also tried out the guac which was awesome as well. As others mention, the place is a hole in the wall, not that there's anything wrong with that. It's not about having cloth napkins and service, it's about getting that taco fix. Prices are right, tacos are delicious, and I'm glad there's a spot that is close enough to get to regularly when those taco cravings strike again. read more

Went here for the first time with a couple of friends, and it was taco Tuesday. Don't let the outside fool you, once you go inside, you get serve immediately. There just a tiny kitchen where the tacos are made. And it looks like a family owned restaurant. I order 3 tacos, one carnita, one Pollo, and one chirizo. All tacos were delicious and full of flavors. I wanted more but we had a movie to catch. But each bites were just as good as the beginning. Definitely will come back again. Fast food, good service and good food. read more

I came here with my coworker after 12pm on a Tuesday. It was $1 for tacos on Tuesday and this place was probably packed because of it. Of course, this area sucks when it came to parking so carpool if you can or get lucky and find a spot in front. We were seated almost immediately and took the last available table that I saw. Their menu was simple, but I mostly looked at the taco menu. Each taco at the normal price was $1.50. I ordered two carne asada tacos, two carnitas tacos, two pollo tacos, and two pastor tacos which were the first four items under the taco section on the menu. I don't remember which ones my coworker picked but he also got eight tacos. It took a long time for our food to come out and I think there were a ton of to-go orders that were being cooked. The chips and salsa were not bad but also nothing special. The tacos were all very good to me. The order that I liked them were pollo, carnitas, pastor and carne asada. I was glad that I got two of each because I tried the tacos without any salsa and they were already good as they were; however, it was even better with the salsa whichever you choose. You can't really go wrong with any of those tacos. Glad my coworker told me about this because I would have never known about this place to try before moving back to California. Come check it out! read more

All I can say is WOW! I had been wanting to try Rico's for some time but hadn't gotten around to it considering there are so many great Mexican places in town. However, I clearly had been missing out. If you like salsa with a little bit of kick, this is your one stop shop. Rico's has half a dozen original salsas, all of which are to die for. My personal favorite was the mango habanero. The first basket of chips were complimentary and any additional basket after that were only $1. So we of course splurged to enjoy the excellent salsa and extra creamy queso. I ordered the the pastor taco and chicken taco; both of which I'll crave until I have the chance to go back. My friend had the steak and chicken. Ricos Taco Lupe has ruined all other street tacos for me. Definitely the BEST in KC. read more

Rico's Tacos Lupes has the best street tacos in town. The food is fresh, flavorful and the staff is extremely friendly. The house burrito's are also unbelievably good and a great price. I would highly recommend and have been eating here for over 5 years. Give them a Try! read more

On a taco Tuesday, like most Mexican taco places, this restaurant was packed. But they were vigilant to acknowledge all the waiting customers, check up regularly and ge them seated. 5 stars. The best was yet to come. We ordered a burrito and dollar tacos (special on Tiesdays). The regular price is $1.50 per taco which is the cheapest around. They served proper grilled meat in their tacos as opposed to most high volume places that serve meat that comes out more steamed than grilled. The prices across the menu were on the affordable side. I will keep this place on my lunch radar for further visits. read more

Ricos Tacos Lupe is another gem on Southwest Blvd that gives you something to taco 'bout. With authentic food and cheap prices, they'll have you coming back time and time again for your taco fix. This place serves you the true definition of authentic street tacos: 2 crispy, warm tortillas, flavorful meat (my favorite are the carne asada, chicken and pastor), onions, and cilantro. This wonderful, yet simple, combination will leave you with a flavor explosion with every bite. While the tacos are tasty, don't let the size fool you. They are small but mighty and filling. On days where I feel ballsy, I order 5 tacos only to end up in a 2 hour food coma after! Not only is the food good, but the prices get me even more excited! $1 taco Tuesdays and $2 burrito Thursdays will certainly leave your stomach (and wallet) full. All in all, a great Mexican food joint with great deals. You can't go wrong with their tacos here! read more

Disgusting very bland and rude customer service couldn't get a refund on nasty food will never come here again

One of my go-to places for burritos in KC! I am a big fan of their veggie burrito and going there on Thursdays has become a tradition for me and my friends! Their burritos on Thursdays are $2 and if you dine in they have wonderfully crisp, warm, freshly-fried tortilla chips. I am personally also a huge fan of their variety of salsas (My favorite is the pineapple jalapeño which has an amazing mix of sweet and spicy flavor)! On tuesdays, they have $1 tacos which are also great though I personally prefer the burritos. The place itself is casual, with reasonably paced service. It can get busy and take a bit to get your order (for both dine-in and takeout) during the evening hours. However, I have never felt rushed by the staff while eating here. The food is all cooked in the front of restaurant and between the sound of the grill sizzling and hot food coming out of the "kitchen" area, you always feel like you are getting authentic food. Don't be fooled by the appearance of the place from the outside - it's definitely worth the trip inside! read more

Every time, without fail, you can find me having 4 chicken street tacos at Rico's. And I especially can't pass them up when Taco Tuesday rolls around with $1 tacos. The chicken is the most flavorful I have found in the KC area. The rest of the street taco is your average 2 corn tortillas and onion and cilantro. What I enjoy about the tortillas here is that they are slightly crispy from the grill which I haven't found at any other taco place I have tried. However, the crispiness is not always consistent; on my visit today 1 of the 5 tacos was quite soft while the others had a pleasant crunch on the outer edges. Probably the biggest issue I have with Rico's is the portion size. The amount of meat is quite small but the flavor more than makes up for how little there is. The portion size also doesn't change when it's Taco Tuesday which makes the $1 tacos more than worth it. Service is not the most attentive, but food comes out fast and the staff is very friendly. They also don't have the best hours, closing at 3pm on certain weekdays, which is disappointing when I need a quick taco fix. read more

Went here on a whim after seeing a $1 taco Tuesday sign out front. Ordered 5 tacos (chicken, pastor, steak, chorizo, carnitas) with the works. I was immediately served up some hot tortilla chips and salsa. Also ordered guacamole which was the same price as my beautiful taco plate combined. The tacos were great. Authentic street tacos with a nice selection of salsas to go with them. The guacamole was fresh and delicious. A squeeze of lime, dollop of guac, squirt of salsa and my tastebuds were dancing around all over my mouth. Rinse and repeat x 5. On another note I saw a man with a pint of tequila and several tecates on the table.. BYOB maybe? read more
