Mexican food is one of my favorites, so I decided to treat myself and try Taco Rico. The place is nice, very clean, and the kitchen is visible, which is always a plus. The girl who helped us was super friendly. The food isn't bad; I'd say it's a step above typical chain food, but that's about it. The chimichanga is huge, well stuffed, and definitely big enough to share. My only critique is that they go a little heavy on the cumin. The birria tacos were the highlight -- nicely filled and very flavorful. The guacamole (one of my favorite dishes) was very good. Whenever I go to a Mexican restaurant, it's the first thing I order, and this time I didn't regret it. They also have the famous "Taco Tuesday" for $10, which is a great lunch option. read more

Taco Rico - Guacamole & chips - Tacos Near Me - Port St. Lucie, Florida

I don't like writing negative reviews, but this place turned out to be a big disappointment. For added context, I lived in Mexico for 15 years and accustomed to good Mexican food and so called Tex-Mex. This place looked so promising, and I guess I got my expectations too high. First the good. The place is brand new and spotless. The staff are very nice, and the windows were clean and the a/c worked great on a hot day. I ordered a chicken burrito and my wife ordered flautas. When ordering the burrito, I double confirmed to not make it so called "wet style", because sauce on flour tortillas is a big no no in Mexican cooking. Anyway, after waiting about 20 minutes for my order, I was shocked to get the gringo style wet burrito. Uggh, I didn't want to waste or wait another 20 minutes to get my correct order, so I decided to just live with it. That turned out to be a mistake. Upon biting into the wet mess, it was a disgustingly soggy blob of liquid tortilla and the meat was wrong, not what I ordered. It was hamburger meat, like Taco Bell style. It wasn't edible. I hated to waste it, but I had them remake it. No problem getting it remade to match my order, I know these things happen with new places, but sadly the remake burrito wasn't much better. I don't know where they get their tortillas from but those gotta go. The taste and texture were not good at all. To get the taste out, I took one of the "flautas" from my wife's order. Oddly, they used flour tortillas instead of corn and the filling was some kind of chicken with some mystery filler. This was also a disappointment. I'm not sure who designed the menu for this franchise chain, but it wasn't from a knowledgeable Mexican chef. For those used to "Florida style" Mexican food, this will be fine, but for those looking for something more authentic, other than the Jarritos sodas, this is sadly a hard pass. read more

This is a step up from Taco Bell but a step down from Pueblo Viejo. My husband got the 3 taco lunch with beans and rice and also ordered a shrimp burrito. He said it was pretty good. His came with ground beef, and the beef was ground very fine, similar to the texture of beef served at Taco Bell. He ordered a shrimp burrito after we'd already started eat, and that took some time to materialize, but when it did show up, he said it was very hot and fresh. It was much larger than he expected so ended up bringing half home. I had the Baja bowel with shrimp. It came with cilantro sauce, which was an excellent addition to the bowl. The rice on the bottom of the bowl was different than I expected, more like yellow rice versus Spanish style that I'm used to in most Tex-Mex places. You get a complimentary basket of tortilla chips, and there's a salsa bar. The chips were not my favorite. They weren't that fresh and had an odd to taste to them. We did use a lot of the salsa, but these days, I'm not keen on serve yourself stations. Drinks were fountain drinks, again server yourself, but there was no diet soda of any kind. Otherwise, you had to buy bottled drinks, but it was nice at least to have options. They also have bottled beer. You order at a counter, and then someone brings your food to you. It felt like the food took an overly long period of time to arrive, especially considering there were only two other customers there when we arrived, but it was nice and hot when it did show up. There are other sit-down Mexican food options in the area, so I'm not sure if we will return. It was good but not great. read more

I have been eating here many times. Never disappointed. One of my favorite place to go every time I want some good food. Very tasty, ingredients are fresh. Great service. Reasonable prices. Great spot all around. read more

The prices were reasonable and the food was very fresh. The service was very good and came with plenty of smiles! Previous reviews stressed how good the hot tortilla chips were. We didn't get hot chips at all. The fresh salsa bar is a nice touch and the restaurant appears to be very clean. Everyone behind the counter and in the open kitchen were very friendly. We will go back. read more

Another fast service Mexican experience. Nothing to bad or exceptional but hits the spot on those "I don't know what I want" days! Food is not bad also! read more

Taco Rico is like every other fast food place in PSL: bland, tasteless and nothing to write home about. Will there ever be a "go to" restaurant in PSL? I doubt it read more

Food is fantastic get the street corn as a starter. The fresh made salsa bar rocks ! Tacos kick ass overall a great meal.

I had went 2 previous times to this place and it's the second time they have charged a 2.50$ steak fee for the steak fajitas which they charge 15$ for already . Small portions are also a recurring theme here . The hospitality is great all things considered. read more

It's an overpriced fast food. Service was OK. The ambience was fine. They had music playing in the background.
