" Ricos Tacos El Primo has a mixed reputation, and my experience confirmed that. The tacos were decent but didn't stand out to me in terms of flavor. Service was friendly enough but felt rushed. The restaurant itself is pretty small and can get cluttered easily. I would say it's worth a visit if you're nearby but don't go out of your way to try it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had incredibly high hopes for Ricos Tacos given the raving reviews, but I must say I left feeling somewhat disappointed. The tacos had potential, yet they lacked the punch of flavor I expected. The staff were polite but seemed overwhelmed by the crowd. The place had a casual atmosphere but felt more neglected than inviting. I’m willing to give it another chance, but I hope they improve on consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Ricos Tacos! The food is fantastic, and the tacos are bursting with flavor. My favorites are the asada and the fish tacos. The ambiance is friendly and fun, making it a great spot for a casual meal. The prices are reasonable, too! Hands down one of Riverside's best taco spots! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great experience at Ricos Tacos El Primo. The food was incredible, especially the enchiladas, which tasted perfectly authentic. The staff was warm and welcoming. However, the restaurant was a bit cramped for my liking. Still, I would recommend it to anyone looking for genuine Mexican cuisine in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally decided to try Ricos after hearing about it for years, but I have to say I was underwhelmed. The tacos were decent, but I found them to be a bit bland. The staff was friendly but somewhat distracted, and I had to wait longer than expected for my food. The atmosphere left much to be desired; it was a bit cluttered. Overall, it's a decent spot, but not my first choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Ricos Tacos was a disappointment. I ordered the nachos, but they were poorly constructed and left a lot to be desired from a flavor perspective. The staff seemed overwhelmed, which hindered service. The vibe of the restaurant felt chaotic, which dampened my dining experience. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ricos Tacos is the real deal! The food tastes homemade, with fresh ingredients that truly make it shine. Their burritos are packed with flavor and perfectly portioned. I had an encounter with one of the staff who was not very enthusiastic, which put a dampener on the vibe a bit. But overall, the food is fabulous, and I will return for sure. " (*Curated Review*)
