Lived next to Mexico for 3 years, and Taco Rico is the closest I can get to authentic Mexican cuisine since then. It’s cheap, delicious, and just amazing. I haven’t had a bad dish there! One of my top favorite Mexican restaurants.
I sure don’t think the food was as good as the rating hints. Maybe folks around here don’t get much Mexican. If you are expecting more than average, you will be disappointed.
Pozole. Authentic pozole for anyone with a true mexican craving!
Because everything’s yummy in a tortilla!. We visited Taco Rico, a family owned business, serving up authentic Mexican cuisine in Lafayette since 2002. Their current location in Eastway Plaza has been operating since 2005 and is open every day from 11am-10pm. The menu includes all the traditional favorites one would expect: tacos, fajitas, burritos, quesadillas, and more, which you can mix and match to create the perfect combo. But thats not all they have. We were pleased with an extensive lineup of choices including plenty of vegetarian options for Jo and me, over ten meat choices for Bevs fajita, and seafood platters that made Kays head swim.Arriving hungry, we started our lunch with chips and salsa, an order of guacamole and queso which hit the spot, but who doesnt like a quick snack before a meal?For lunch Jo ordered a veggie quesadilla with mushrooms instead of meat and all the ingredients youd find in a fajita for $6.49. Though her mouth was full, Jo exclaimed, Thats the best quesadilla Ive ever had! The vegetables were all grilled, and the mushrooms were obviously NOT out of a can. Nothing over-cooked and the seasoning was perfect. I had no business eating all of it, but I couldnt stop!Bev ordered a steak fajita served with tortillas, beans, rice and guacamole for $10.99, her review? Great seasoning. Steak, peppers and onions were nicely grilled, with a twist of lime, served on a sizzling hot skillet. Nice presentation.I chose two vegetarian tacos only $1.75 each, and a small horchata drink. I love tacos served on soft corn tortillas and was happy with the seasoning. Three different sauces were offered to spice things up; my favorite is the green verde sauce. The horchata was great. Word to the wise, the small is very generous!Kay selected the guachinango frito o a la diabla (red snapper for us gringos) for $12.19. Much to Jos and my chagrin it came with the head and face. We vegetarians are a squeamish group! Kay was pleased with the deep fried preparation, not breaded. The plate came nicely seasoned, complete with guacamole, beans and corn tortillas. After a little assembly, presto-chango, fish tacos. The menu has a generous number of fish and seafood options not typical of many Mexican restaurants. Lots to choose from here.The fish on the plateAlso on the menu is a breakfast section, which is served all day! A kids menu includes hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken tenders, pizza and breaded shrimp all for $3.69-$4.19 making this a great family friendly location for any meal.Domestic and imported beers are available with your meal and desserts to top things off for anyone who has left room. The flan was tempting but we were all so full we passed and decided to head to Mama Ines to check out the baked goods we are hearing so much about … but more about that trip later!!
Best Mexican food in the midwest. Taco rico is amazing Mexican cuisine at its best. I have never written a review on here before but after seeing a few other reviews I felt I had too. I have no idea where the other peoples taste buds are. We’ve always had great service and the menu has a lot of variety. I have tried a number of itemsand have never been disappointed. Some favorites include chiles rellenos, diabla shrimp, fajitas, fish tacos, chimichanga (if you like cilantro), and the beens and rice are to die for. Taco rico is truly a gem and we will miss it when we move.
Worst Mexican Experience Ever. We walked in and seated ourselves. No one even acknowledged we were there until about 10 minutes later. When they finally did, it took another 10 minutes at least to get our drinks and a basket of chips and salsa. (Chips and salsa are usually served even before drinks!) The chips were cold and stuck together. When we finally got our orders, they were wrong. My friend took a bite of her rice, which tasted like the stuffing of eggrolls. The waitress didn’t pay much attention to us. We sat our plates (of which we didn’t eat much) at the edge of the table to signal that we were ready for the check. We waited for a long time, again, before she came over to give us our check. I did NOT leave a tip, which is not something I do very often. I would highly recommend that you find another Mexican restaurant! We left extremely dissatisfied.
Not that great. Cheddar cheese on everything and the chips taste like fritos. Go somewhere else for better authentic Mexican.
