Taco Rico has been a longstanding local restaurant and it's one of our favorites! You order at the counter and then sit at a table and wait for your food. There is also a sauce bar to pair with complimentary chips which is a really nice touch to the dine-in experience. Prices are fair especially for the quantity of food you receive, and the food is delicious. There is a great lunch menu as well, be sure to check it out! The workers are always friendly and courteous. read more

Service on a saturday afternoon sucks. They had no ice. The guy behind counter was told to please fill the water for patrons. Ignored. Have never had to wait for 2 tacos this long. Ridiculous. Looked at kitchen and apparently the cook decided to take a break at 1p in the afternoon. Sucks read more

We have been coming here for years, one of the best Taco Rico locations if not the best. Cooks and staff deliver 100%

Chicken Burrito was Mushy , loaded with beans , and barely had any chicken in it. Chicken tacos were terrible! Little chicken and lacked flavor. The elote was just boiled cobs sprinkled with cheese. Tasteless! I thought elote was supposed to be grilled? Everything we ordered was stone cold. I will not order from here again. Don't waste your money here. You're better off making your own. read more

Oh man, I've been to taco rico before but just had the steak chimichurri tacos with birria style tortillas and it was A M A Z I N G!!!!!! My heart is so happy right now. The could the steak perfectly so that it was well done but not tough or dry. The birria tortilla was HEAVEN. I could ask for a pack to take home... and I kind-of want birria now. The chipotle crean was nice giving it a kick. They forgot to give me the chimichurri but honestky it was so good i didnt realize it until i was half way dine. The flavor overall was great and all the servers were friendly. read more

No Rico! How times have changed. I used to love eating Taco Rico Mexican food. It was fresh tasty and good quality/quantity. Unfortunately not anymore. My last order was terrible. Rice tastes like chemicals and portion was less than 1/4 cup. Went straight to the trash anyway. Beans are watered down with no beans. Quesadillas have little to no filling. I ordered spinach and mushrooms and there was no spinach and barely any mushrooms. Mushrooms looked like they came from a can. Everything comes in plastic containers. Im so sad and disappointed. Now I have to find another Mexican restaurant. read more

I have frequented here a lot and never done a review I do not know why. So thought I should, as it is about time! First off this is not a chain but a local establishment, I think they have another location in Coral Gables too? They know their Mexican food. I have tried all sorts here and I and my family (kids, mum n dad from England) have never been disappointed. Also to be noted the portions are huge. Typically you also get free tortilla chips with a main order, which are always fresh and crisp. Then from there they offer a salsa bar - where you can get various sauces, salsa etc, as much as you like. LOVE THAT! The service is usually on point and pretty fast. My kids used to go to Palmetto high school years ago and I know a lot of school kids would hit this place after school for some Mexican food!I like how taco rico has a salsa bar too. This is a now thrills, local spot, there is a small sit in area, but you can also to take away. read more

This is the stingiest restaurant I've ever gone to. I used to come here for chicken quesadillas, key word used to. Every time they make it there is too little cheese in it. I asked about it once, and they told me they used a fixed amount. Also they give you a "bag" of chips with it which they are also stingy on! Jesus last time I opened it and there were literally 9 chips in there. I counted. 9. Well guess what if the owner reads this, your "fixed amount" is extremely stingy and frankly pathetic. In order for it to be done right I have to pay for extra cheese every time, and twice after I've paid for extra cheese, I have gotten the same amount. Once I complained to the manager and they made it right, the second time I ordered 30 minutes before close, and I suspect they purposely didn't put the extra cheese because they were pissed I ordered late, and when i came in the restaurant i overheard them talking about my order. Hours of operation exist for a reason if you don't want to work during those hours don't be open. Chipotle is right next door and their quesadillas are $7.49. Taco Rico's are 13$ and change with tax and extra cheese (which you have to pay for if you want there to be enough cheese and not a pathetic amount). This place has lost me as a customer due to the following issues above, and I suggest no one else go here if they're looking for a good chicken quesadilla as chipotle is much cheaper and better. This business doesn't understand customer service, or basic elements of business like retaining customers by having generous portion sizes that match the expensive prices for basic items, instead they try to subtlety Nickle and dime you with overpriced undersized portions. Now I understand why it's called "taco Rico" because the foods expensive and you're making them rich at your own expense. I hope the owner reads this and knows he's lost a customer who has been coming for years long before the current staff and has had enough of the petty gouging or having to complain or accept lousy portion sizes. This place is not worth the cost or the effort. Who is cheap on corn chips seriously? They cost nothing. It's so petty. read more

Taco Rico is a great family ran business with a few Miami locations. I usually dine at the Coral Gables location off US1. That location is easier for me since it's right next to my Fire Station. I wasn't aware of the Pinecrest location till I moved down south. I am so happy to have such an awesome Mexican restaurant close by. This chain deserves 5 stars for the following reasons. -Great Food! -Fast Service -Fresh Flavors -Consistency with meals. Today my wife and I ordered the Steak Wet burrito , Shrimp Tacos and the chili con queso. They have so many different types of homemade sauces to enhance the flavors of your meal or just to use to dip your house made corn chips! All locations are kept clean and neat which is a plus when dining with kids. Check them out at any location , you sure won't be disappointed ! read more

This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. The staff is super friendly, the space is super clean, and the food is well prices, very fresh and delicious. Everything that we have tried so far has been a hit! The salsa bar is to die for, I love each and every type of salsa. If you are looking for a delicious, casual, and friendly place, this is a must visit. Today was our first time here, I am sure that it will not be our last! The restaurant is extremely clean and organized, the staff super attentive and on point. The food is homemade, fresh and very delicious. I can't wait to go back and try other house specials. I have seen this place for years and never gave out a second glance. So happy to have found it today. If you love Mexican food, you will not be disappointed. The salsa bar is amazing, I tried each one and they were all delicious! read more

Taco Rico Tex-Mex Café - Queso and Queso Dipper Fries....where's the rest of the fries? - Mexican Near Me - Pinecrest, Florida

Taco rico is just a solid place. It's not trying to be like one of those hip taco stands that are trying too hard to look cool. It's great for take out or just to dine in for a casual meal. I've gone to taco rico a lot, and after trying many food items, I think my favorite is the burrito. What I usually do is split the ultra sized burrito with someone else. The burrito is huge!! I definitely recommend to not order the regular sized burrito and to get the larger size instead. The larger one costs a bit more, but it is double the size. The ingredients in the burrito taste really fresh and you don't feel that heavy after eating it. The fajita salad is also a good option if you're trying to be healthy. It comes with a good amount of protein and vegetables. I've heard it's tasty. It's just a good option to have if you're trying to avoid carbs. I like how taco rico has a salsa bar too. Many places make you pay for extra salsa, but I like how taco rico gives you the freedom to have as much salsa as you want. They typically include chips with the meal you order, so it's nice to just chomp on some chips and salsa while you're eating your meal. I'm a fan of Taco Rico. I've come here for years and I'll continue to do the same. read more

Excellent service excellent food small place but you go home more than satisfied. I came in I approach the counter I was greeted I was given the options as to what I can eat I was asked what I felt like eating what enticed me more and I took my decision under those recommendations I ordered the largest wet burrito that you could ever think of humongous have you seen my pictures real consisted of steak rice and a lot more beans. Along with that came a basket of chips with a homemade salsa and you have a lot of salt list to pick from from Albany ranging from hot tomorrow to not milder not hot just easy-going awesome delicious regardless made the correct way as a matter fact The restaurant owner or manager made me a particular sauce it tasted outstanding it was hot enough that my lips are still burning hot but he took the time and he asked me I see that you like salsa try this one he personalized it for me Do you have a driving on the restaurant says text mix it doesn't say authentic Mexican food they deliver exactly what they advertise the service is great the food was outstanding I would deathly recommend too many people to go eat there no complaints whatsoever great atmosphere a family oriented business and you can still sit down have a couple beers read more

Worst quesadillas I've ever had. I ordered through Uber eats shrimp quesadillas. The description said meat and cheese nothing else. When I got it first off they were soggy as if they had been sitting a while. Then when I finally dug in I couldn't even pick it up because they were falling apart and to top of off they were filled with onions which I can't eat! I'm not sure why they would assume that doesn't need to be put in the description but beware. Oh and it was about 6 shrimp in the entire thing. read more

Normally I go to the Taco Rico by LeJeune in Coral Gables, but since we were in the area, boyfriend and I stopped by. Parking was convenient and the place itself was relatively empty. Comparing this location to the one I typically frequent, this one seems more spacious, although I think the other may be bigger. It's all in the design. Anyhow, we ordered some taquitos, chicken fajitas, and a ground beef burrito without refried beans. We also had some chips and salsa with water to drink. Absolutely scrumptious. Service, too, was on point. Oh, and I was surprised to see a TV on with a soccer game. Nice; if I'm in this next of the woods again, I will definitely return. read more

Used to love this place but the last two orders I've had have been pretty bad. The al pastor tacos are great but for three tacos and two pieces of pineapple and a pinch of toppings just doesn't taste good. My dad ordered the shrimp tacos and had the same portions with unpeeled shrimp. How do you not take off the shells and tails? read more

Certainly not a fan of Mayo, but I'm glad I gave there Elote a chance. Holy moly if you ever want comfort food after a stressful day, this hits the spot every time. The queso is so tasty, the elote and burritos had wonderful flavor. Only thing I'm sad about is Covid and not being able to eat here in person. Super shout out for being eco friendly during these times. ALL of my takeout containers are compostable or can be recycled. Thanks for making my first Mayo encounter enjoyable. I get elotes every time now! read more

One of my co-workers recommended this place since it is within walking distance of work. I was in a hurry to grab a quick bite and something light before having to head back to work. When she recommended mexican food I thought this was the complete opposite of what I was looking for. Luckily, she had a menu on hand which I was able to look through before walking over. The taco salad caught my eye. I walked in and placed my order to-go. Within ten minutes (it might have even been less) my food was out. The taco shell was light and crispy. It came filled with lettuce, chicken and cheese. I asked for the pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole on the side. It was delicious! I don't normally like pico de gallo but this one was made up of black beans, corn and onions and served cold. It was great to add as a topping. read more

Been eating there for years. Great taco salad and filling tacos. I get the lunch quesadilla made my way with ground beef and spinach/ mushrooms. They'll customize for you no problem. I also get the Mexicana platter if I'm hungrier or for dinner. My friend Big Howard is the owner and he is hands on active so things are done right and he has good staff. I highly recommend Pinecrest location. read more

Me and family really like this place the tacos de la casa are great enchilladas are my go to. The ladies are all very nice.

I came with a group of 4 and it was pretty packed. The location is small and a little tight but the food is good. We ordered loaded nachos with no meat, pork tacos, quesadilla, and the mexicana platter. The nachos came after our food and they came with no cheese so we had to return them once they came back they were delicious. The pork taco was savory. The quesadilla was also very yummy. Will probably come back next time we crave Mexican. read more

This review has nothing to do with food but everything to do with the substandard condition of this locations soda machine. After purchasing our meal and fountain sodas, my gf and I promptly returned the cups due to the amount of PINK MOLD built up in the ice chute. My concerns were addressed to the staff, an older lady in particular. She was receptive but unfortunately completely unaware as to how to fix the problem. The male employee (dark tan skin) seemed to not care at all. It gets better... With this now brought to their attention you would think the least they could do is put up an OUT OF ORDER sign. NOPE... In fact they continued to allow patrons to use the machine. I would genuinely like to discuss high standards, proper training and empowerment with the owner of this location. So if you're listening I'll be waiting. read more

Taco Rico Tex-Mex Café - The pink mold on the ice machine - Mexican Near Me - Pinecrest, Florida

After Q-doba closed in the Sunniland shopping center, there was no place to get any decent, quick Tex-Mex for miles. Taco Rico Tex-Mex Cafe took over a tiny sub shop space, and all is well. Taco Rico offers traditional, Americanized Tex-Mex fare, with the usual tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc, with, oddly enough, a grilled churrasco steak for $13.99. The taco and burrito filling choices are chicken, beef and pork. You're not going to find carne asada, carnitas or al pastor choices. The quality, though IS better than at Taco Bell, and what closes the deal for me is the great little salsa bar, with several kinds of hot and mild salsas to choose from. Even when I just order a pair of soft tacos, the counter help scoops up some fresh-tasting tortilla chips into a basket for munching on while my order is prepared. A trip to the soda fountain and to the nearby salsa bar, and I'm good to go while waiting for the order to come up (which is delivered to your table). Also, BEER is available, and homemade sangria for the hops-adverse. This location does NOT serve breakfast. Recommended, although not worth crossing town for. read more
