Taco Rico

This was my first time to Taco Rico. I liked the ambiance and traditional Mexican decor, soft mariachi jalisciense playing, a clean dining room... Open for breakfast and all day, Taco Rico offers various kinds of tacos, flautas, tortas, burritos, panchos, parrilladas, and a few plates that can vary such as carne guisada. I chose the combo #1 that included 4 tacos (mine were of deshebrada on corn tortillas with all the garnishes), a dressed baked potato (butter, sour cream and bacon bits), a bowl of beans (simple), and a drink. It was a great price for what I got. The food was served fresh and hot. Order at the counter, and then fill your own drink and set your number on the table. A server will bring your food to the table. There are two parts to the dining room, one large enough for groups and a narrower portion divided by a wall with cut-outs. I enjoyed my meal which was delicious and hearty. The service was friendly. The prices are excellent. I will return.

Food is gross now! Quality went down! Used to be worth it not anymore unfortunately. Used to come here all the time.

Ordered the bistec tacos and a full baked potato. The tacos were on the dry side, definitely not what you get in Mexico. But the potato is fantastic... loaded with cheese and butter. The bean soup they bring to you was also good.One negative thing is if you want a glass of water. The water cup is like 6 ounces, and there is no water option at the soft drink machine. You have to ask them behind the counter to give you more water.

If you're visiting McAllen & craving some crispy tripas taco, then stop by Taco Rico & get your fixing.It was my first time dining. I ordered the 4 corn taco meal (2 bistek & 2 tripas). The meal comes with a cheesy baked potato, potato soup, & a fountain drink. Tripas is an upcharge.I was excited & nervous to eat the tacos. Excited cause I rarely find crispy tripas & nervous that it wouldn't live up to my expectations.. & well, the tacos were delicious! I went back for a second order of the extra crispy tripas tacos! In one sitting, I had 5 tripas & 1 bistek.The bistek looks like cheap beef & there was no distinctive flavor.. My dining companion disagree & enjoyed her bistek flour tacos.Tripas is beef liver. If not cooked properly, the texture & taste can be unappetizing. Taco Rico season and fries the tripas. I like that it's crispy with a satisfying crunch. It could be more flavorful but that's easily fixed with some avocado salsa and hot salsa.

Visiting for work and a coworker sent me to El Rodeo to get tripas tacos but they were closed. Headed back to hotel and found Taco Rico and checked it out. Looked like a fast food drive thru type place. Surprisingly they have tacos tripas on the menu. The full order is 6 tacos but they have a half order which I got. FANTASTIC! So crispy and delicious and tortillas were fresh. Loved them and recommend this to all tripa lovers.

Very tasty tacos... Had the steak on corn. Great flavor. Interesting thing to me was getting a fully loaded potato with it for the side. Never seen that at a taco place before but good. Also came with beans...

Food at any Taco Rico is fantastic. The service I've gotten has been A1 every time. A full order of 6 street tacos is about $8.something with tax included, which is great if you're hungry. Ambiance is super homey. It felt welcoming overall

Very good food really well flavored and seasoned really fast service excellent very friendly and

The tacos were perfect and the baked potato was also perfect and the service was so nice and the place looks a a Mexican restaurant and the feeling to

If your looking for good fast food tacos your at the right spot. Will always be my childhood favorite!
