Absolutely skip this place unless you want to pay triple premium for average at best food. I used to visit 2-3 times a week and the owner was always there. Never cheap, but the food was great and correct and an owner had to make a buck! I get it, I am a waiter.
Fast forward. Car died so I have not been out for late night at Taco Rico. A new woman took my order. A campechano burrito, 4 tacos, rice and beans. Standard tacos are onions and cilantro. I asked for them loaded: lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream. She said there would be a charge and I said, of course it is more food. The total was $43.60. Yes you read that right. Plus I tipped her.
Get home. Plain tacos, so God knows how much she charged me for whatever I did not get. And the rice and beans...usually a big container of each. Tonight a scoop of each in one box and not much at that.
The meat on the tacos and burrito was dry. As in better have a glass of water handy dry. The rice was probably from yesterday as it had no moisture.
I used to gladly give him good money for great food after leaving my restaurant. Now the food was D+...I will be generous maybe C-. As for the prices how does that add up.
Say 5 dollars a taco (what??) So 4 = $20
Then say 15 a burrito. Steep but worth it if it was large (which it definitely was not) and good, but it was average at best.
That would leave $8 (freaking) for a splash of rice and beans.
I am sad because my favorite taco truck is now a place that will NEVER EVER see one penny of my business. I have never written a review before but this was SUCH a huge ripoff I want to warn others. Save your money and seek out a real truck. Guy was my fave, his crew lost at least 300-400 a month in business. Not to mention referrals. My guests are always asking where to go if they get hungry later. Taco Rico will never be mentioned.
I am not bitter. But $43.60 for such little food AND it was wrong. Major skip read more
