" My family comes here often and we are never disappointed! The carne asada is fantastic, and I also like their quesadillas. I wish the inside could be slightly larger since it can get cramped. It's always busy on weekends, but that just adds to the excitement! The prices are great for what you receive. You really get your money's worth here. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I tried Rico's for the first time, and we were thrilled with the results! The tacos were incredibly tasty and came with a good amount of toppings, including fresh cilantro. The kids loved the simplicity of the flavors, and I found it to be a great value for a family meal. The decor is simple but inviting. We'll definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on friends' recommendations, but my experience at Rico's was quite average. The tacos were decent but not exceptional; I felt they were lacking in seasoning compared to what I had heard. The service was polite, but there was no effort to check in on my table after the food arrived. I may try it again someday, but right now I feel indifferent about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Rico's after hearing so much about it. The carne asada tacos were indeed good, but I felt like they were just slightly overcooked. The vibe is cool, and the staff is friendly, which helps. Overall, it was decent, but I expected more based on the hype. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! I've passed this place numerous times, but finally stopped in and tried the tacos. They were everything I hoped for—juicy, flavorful, and the salsas complemented them perfectly. The environment was casual and welcoming. Prices were reasonable too! I’ll definitely be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Rico's Tacos for the first time last weekend and I was blown away! The al pastor was flavorful and the portion sizes are just right. I really appreciated the friendly staff and the busy, vibrant atmosphere. However, I did have to wait quite a while for my food, which was a bit disappointing. Still, I’m planning to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I remember visiting Rico's years ago, and it has only gotten better! The number of salsas they offer is impressive, and the quality of their meat is excellent. The seating area could use some updates, but I've always prioritized the food, which remains outstanding. Worth every cent! " (*Curated Review*)
