" First time dining at Taco Rico. The buzz around authentic Mexican food led me here, and I was ecstatic. The taquitos were crunchy and flavorful, although a tad greasy for my liking. The star was definitely the fresh salsa served on the side; it complemented every bite. As for the service, I felt like we were a bit neglected at times, leading to confusion regarding our order. Regardless, I will be returning for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" It had been over a year since I last visited Taco Rico, and I was eagerly looking forward to it. I remembered how good their tacos were, specifically the lengua taco, which is hard to find elsewhere. I was not disappointed; it was every bit as flavorful and tender as I remembered. However, there was a bit of a hiccup with my order. One of my friends received the wrong dish, and although the staff promptly corrected it, it did detract from the experience. The ambiance is charming, giving you that authentic taquería feeling. Despite the mix-up, I believe Taco Rico still earns my recommendation, especially for tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taco Rico is a hidden gem in Winston-Salem for anyone craving authentic Mexican dishes. My family and I visited last weekend, and the variety of tacos we ordered was outstanding. Each taco was filled generously and bursting with flavor. The fresh aguas frescas were a delightful addition. The atmosphere was cozy, but be prepared for a bit of a wait during lunch hours since it tends to get busy. If you’re in a rush, this might not be your go-to, but the food is absolutely worth it. The staff was courteous but a bit overwhelmed with the number of customers. Despite the wait, we'll definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" After visiting Taco Rico for the first time, I have to say I was thoroughly impressed. The flavors in the tacos were phenomenal and so reminiscent of my travels to Mexico. I had the barbacoa and it was tender and juicy. What really did it for me was the homemade tortillas; you could taste the freshness. The ambiance was vibrant, with cheerful music playing in the background, adding to the overall experience. It's a small joint, but it has a big heart. The service was quick, and the staff were friendly. I can't recommend this place enough! I’m already planning my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I eat at Taco Rico, I'm blown away by how they maintain authenticity. Their meals taste homemade, and you can tell they use fresh ingredients. I love their tacos al pastor, they are juicy and have the right amount of spice. The aguas frescas are not overly sweet, which I appreciate. Unfortunately, the service can be hit or miss depending on the day. Once, I waited over 30 minutes to get my order taken and another 20 for the food to arrive. It was frustrating but also worth it for the food! Just plan accordingly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I go to Taco Rico, I am more amazed by the taste of their food. They truly capture the essence of authentic Mexican cuisine. The tacos were crisp and fresh, with flavors that pop. They even have aguas frescas that you genuinely feel have no additives or artificial flavoring. The service is generally decent; however, I have encountered some wait staff who seem a bit overwhelmed during busy hours. Nevertheless, Taco Rico remains a top spot for me because their food keeps bringing me back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here last night, and I left feeling satisfied. The enchiladas were steaming when they arrived and packed with flavor. Their tacos also did not disappoint, but I felt the serving sizes could have been larger for the price. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, making it a great spot to bring friends. Service was solid—everyone was polite and attentive. Overall, I would recommend checking out Taco Rico! " (*Curated Review*)
