We came back to this place again for a quick lunch. I didn't notice the other menu items last time but, it is quite varied so I'll have to try the Huevos dishes (11-1) or quesadilla? The corn tortilla tastes great! Plenty of food in each taco. We went there to try out the place on a Saturday for lunch. The tasty tacos lived up to most of the review raves about the delicious taste and fresh corn tortillas. Lots of options on their menu. Small indoor seating area and decent outdoor area in an urban setting with people asking you for money. For me, another trip to Rico Rico Tacos as a destination would involve another day of the week, another time of day and being in the near vicinity of Lake Merritt/Grand Lake Theater. Allow some time to find a place to park regardless of the day and time that you drive there.

First time dining here for a casual lunch with a friend, and I was so impressed with my mushroom and fish tacos! They are medium sized at $4 each. Absolutely delicious! My friend had the crispy beef quesadilla for $11, and that was a huge meal in itself. I loved the service and ambiance too. I will definitely be back and soon!! ♥️

Best Mexican food by far my family and I have had and Mexican food is a staple for us. Saw this place recommended to me and man, so glad I went. The restaurant is clean and every single dish is amazingly delicious. Also cheaper then other places we’ve gone to. Recommend this place 100%, never going to another Mexican restaurant again.

This used to be my go-to spot because I work down the street. I purchased a burrito and as I was eating it, I found a long piece of hair in it. I was immediately disgusted by it. I tried to give them a call but no one answered, I went back to the restaurant and I said that I found a piece of hair in my food and said clearly it’s not mine because I have braids in my hair and I would like a refund now for that. I had also ordered chips and salsa and an Agua Fresca sidenote they had also given me the wrong Agua Fusca I wanted the Jamaica one and they ended up giving me the watermelon one. I showed her a picture of it and the first thing she asked was can you send me the picture so I went ahead and sent it to her then she says I’ll go ahead and remake the burrito I said no I would just like my money back at this point so she gives me my money back but it’s only for the burrito. I said I spent more than $11 here and she said well this is for the burrito I said why to return all of these items to you I don’t want them because of what happened and she said well there’s nothing wrong with those others items so you can keep them I got a little loud and said I found a hair in my burrito. I don’t want any of this food. I was disgusted by it so she decided to give me all my money back. She did not apologize she didn’t say anything it was like she was annoyed about what happened. I don’t know what happened at Rico Rico, but they used to have the best Customer Service and it has gone downhill. Also, a lot of the women who cook do not wear hair nets.

I love the atmosphere of this place, from the cozy seating and inviting decor, to the friendly staff and fun music. The food has been amazing every time and their prices are reasonable. There's indoor and outdoor seating options as well, which is nice. I highly recommend Rico Rico!

Fantastic tacos, I had the camaron and the carnitas, which were some of the best I have ever had. Do yourself justice and check it out.

Not sure if there was a change in ownership, cooks, meat source or what...not as good as it previously was. A tremendous fall off.

Delicious food and friendly service. Highly recommend the vegan shrimp, chicken and king oyster tacos. Everything thing I’ve tried here is amazing though.
