    Flautas and chicken enchiladas
    Leticia P.

    This place hit the spot! Horchata was on point. The flautas and chicken enchilada plates were authentic, flavorful and well put together plates. We also had the Pancita soup (not pictured) and it was really good! Service was great and we plan on returning to try more soon.

    This place is awesome! Wonderful service, beautiful owners and the tacos are heavenly! I was desperately in need of some authentic Mexican street tacos, like what I grew up on in Inglewood, California and had many times in Mexico. Taco Rico filled that void today! We simply had the Bisteca Tacos con frijoles y arroz! The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly, dressed only with white diced onion and cilantro served on two soften corn tortillas. The rice and beans taste like mom made them! I am beyond satisfied. I plan to return to explore the rest of the menu. I definitely recommend this hood jewel. Any restaurant established for 15 years and you can feel the warmth and love in the place deserves a 5 star rating any day! Last photo is of... ****My leftovers I made into a 'oh so delicious bowl'! Rice, beans, a sprinkle of the meat left from some of my steak tacos, jalapeños, onions and seasoned with the sauces served at the table. Yummers!!!

    After coming back from my vacation last weekend in Mexico, thought I'd check out which restaurant in this Mexican community makes breaded chicken torta closely as good as back in Mexico. This place isn't even close when I ordered one for carryout. Although they were a little generous on the toppings, the chicken cutlet was pretty dry almost like jerky. They require a minimum order of $10 to accept credit card. Wouldn't even bother ordering there again at all.

    We came here after seeing the reviews and another taco place down the street was super busy on Saturday night. The place is amazing. The tacos are fantastic. We ordered 6 tacos between myself and my husband and one cheese quesadilla for our kids to share (4 years and 2 years old). The kids raved about their quesadilla even though we regularly make quesadillas at home- they said it tasted different than the ones we make at home (which is just tortillas with melted cheese inside) but they were great. They speak English well! Good because my Spanish is limited although we love frequenting taco places and not all of them speak English well. We ordered one chicken, 2 pastor, one grilled steak, 2 carnitas. We also had the flan for dessert which was small but we shared it among the 4 of us. All that food for $26. Great, cheap place. Caution to those who like a fancy place to eat: the floor is pretty dirty and was unswept. Definitely a hole in the wall place but was amazing food and great service! We loved it! Great for little kids. We loved the decor too which seemed authentic.

    This place is in the corner and with this blue color and Yellow stripes is not difficult to spot as you drive on Edmonston road.

    On Sunday evening; I was there with my friend. We ordered Pancita Sup, Tacos and a Burrito. The place was crowded and I expected to have the order coming with delay because of that. But I was wrong. The server named Candy did a very good job bringing the food in a short period of time very reasonable considering the amount of costumers. She was very nice and efficient with a beautiful smile and that is exactly what makes a costumer comeback. Good food and fantastic serving skills. I invite you all to go to Taco Rico and experience the authentic Mexican Food. And feel completely like a king or Queen on the hands of Candy the best Server I have found on the area of Mexican restaurants in Riverdale. I give this experience a 5 stars no doubt about it.

    It's one of those grimy little hole in the walls. After watching the guy stand close to the front counter cut raw bloody beef I definitely had second thoughts about eating there. He took his bloody glove hand and accepted money from someone. He saw me looking at him and then he went over and washed it. It is definitely one of those holes in the walls where you just pray that you don't get food poisoning. But I must admit I order two chicken tacos they weren't seasoned as well as you would expect from authentic Mexican restaurant but they were good. But it was 3 p.m., I hadn't eaten all day so take that into account

    Normally like this place but DONT ORDER SPICY CICKEN QUESADILLA. Sopping in grease, not spicy just greasy. :(((( BAD cuts of meat up top and only half way through the dish... Also ordered huaraches con carne and the CARNE is all fat!! In corner. Bad meat in both dishes :(((((

    It had been 12 years since my last visit, and over a decade later--this place did not disappoint…read more On our way out to enjoy the weather, I stopped in with my cousins and we ate very well. We shared the corn, which was perfectly sweet and tangy, ordered three lemonades, and tried a handful of tacos. The taco de lengua was tender and moist without being fatty, the barbacoa was savory with just the right hint of sweetness, and the carne asada was hearty, meaty, and full of flavor. We wrapped things up with a flan that was creamy and custardy--exactly how it should be. The packed parking lot says it all about this place's popularity. Don't miss out.

    This place is ALWAYS poppin'. This taqueria has been here for years! I can't think of many times…read morewhen this place isn't packed, busy, or having multiple parking spots open. There are definitely a variety of taco choices. I haven't been unsatisfied yet. There is a small eating area inside away from the bottleneck area where people order and pick up their food but I don't think I'd ever want to eat inside since it's way too busy and the ambiance would be too hectic for me to deal with. There are other choices of sides or extras like maíz loco (corn on the cob with a variety of toppings like mayo, catsup, crumbled cheese, tajín...your choices), dried pork rinds, chicharrón (chewier and crispy version of the pork rinds), atole (hot, masa-based beverage made from corn dough, water or milk, sweetened with sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla). There are quick desserts to go too. I would highly recommend ordering ahead so you can get in and out or figuring out the less congested times. I've come during the dinner rush hours time but hadn't been planning on getting it ahead of time. I definitely recommend this place and will continue to come back.

    Really understand why this place is so popular! Came here with some friends and had a lovely…read moreexperience. We were sat right away and I was surprised at how big the restaurant is (way bigger than it looks from the outside!). I started with a hibiscus margarita, which was delicious. Then we ordered a few things to split, including: guac and tostadas, charred cabbage, gorditas with chorizo, aguachile negro, and the beef short rib platter. The charred cabbage was the biggest sleeper hit. It was so flavorful and unlike anything I've ever had before. Everything else was delicious, although the aguachile was probably my least favorite of what we tried. We finished with the rose water tres leches and the dulce de leche crepes. The tres leches were pretty good but the crepes were amazing. I don't usually love dulce de leche, but it was definitely a standout.

    Overall, I had a positive experience dining at Cielo Rojo. The restaurant has a very inviting…read morespace, and it appears to be very kid-friendly. If you are planning to visit during popular dining hours, it might be worth it to make a reservation. We arrived during a weekend around 5:30 pm, and the place was somewhat empty. However, by 6-6:15 pm, the place was PACKED. I was a very surprised (in a good way) that the menu was a bit smaller compared to other Mexican/Tex-Mex restaurants in the area. I necessarily do not think the smaller menu is a bad thing because, with a smaller menu, a restaurant can focus on preparing everything well (i.e., it's easier to do a good job with 20-item menu versus a 50+-item menu). For my dining pleasure, I went with the enchiladas suizas with a few margaritas. Overall, I thought my plate was very delicious; however, other diners at my table and I noticed that the portion sizes were a bit small for the price. Perhaps, the restaurant uses higher quality ingredients for its dishes. Although the margarita sizes might appear to be small, they definitely are not "small" in power/punch, so the $13-$18 price range is appropriate. My favorite margarita of the night definitely was the El Jardinero, which was a wonderful mix of carrot, cilantro, peach, lime and a semi-spicy pepper of sorts. Collectively, we all thought the service was exceptional because our waitress constantly visited the table. Personally, I thought it was a bit overkill, but that's a very, very minor complaint based on my very, very personal preference.
