" I visited Ricos Tacos El Primo after hearing great things, and while I enjoyed my meal, it didn’t wow me. The tacos were good but felt a bit overpriced for what was served. The staff were very cordial, but with the small dining area, the overall experience was slightly cramped. I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but I expected more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Ricos Tacos El Primo based on friends' recommendations. Unfortunately, I walked away feeling disappointed. The tacos lacked seasoning, and I found the meat to be dry. The dining area was cramped, making it difficult to enjoy the meal comfortably. The service was okay; a bit inattentive. I would not recommend based on this experience, although I might give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ricos always knocks it out of the park for me! I went with my family, and we tried a bunch of different dishes, and each was better than the last. The staff was accommodating and made the dining experience enjoyable. While it can be a bit crowded, the food and service certainly make it worthwhile. We will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love Ricos Tacos El Primo! The carne asada tacos are to die for, and the homemade salsas bring the perfect amount of spice. The service is always friendly, and I love that they remember my usual order. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, just perfect for a quick bite. This is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving authentic Mexican food. Highly recommend trying their tacos de carnitas! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally stopped by Ricos Tacos El Primo after hearing so many good things. The tacos were genuinely impressive, with a great blend of spices that tasted authentic. However, the seating area was quite compact, and I felt a bit rushed due to the busy environment. Still, the value for the quality of food is undeniable. I recommend the pork tacos!

" 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*)
