Chicken tinga tacos
Donyiel C.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, these college kids have so many options compared to back in my day (decades ago)! I love it, but I'm low key jealous lol. I wanted to try a new place for Taco Tuesday, which just happened to also be "National Taco Day!" Woot! This was a good choice. I've seen positive reviews from some fellow yelpers and knew at some point I'd visit. The service was great. Very nice people working here! I did the taco Tuesday soecial - $2.50 for certain tacos. I did chicken tinga. I was a lil greedy and did 4 tacos. There's some sauces on the side! I liked the hot one. The tacos were good! Parking is tricky. There's a garage but I risked it and parked right in front since I was just doing a take-out order. Add this place to your list!

I popped in here randomly one Sunday needing something quick that the entire family could eat. There's not a designated parking lot so just be prepared to park along the street it's on. But it appears to be majority college kids walking in since you're basically at UMD. I ordered a chicken quesadilla, cheese quesadilla, bowl and a few tacos. Everything is made to order so be prepared to wait a few minutes for your food. But that just means you know it'll be hot when you get it. The kids enjoyed the cheese quesadilla, it's large enough for a couple of small children to share. I hoped the kids would eat some of the chicken quesadilla but I ended up eating it and enjoyed it. The bowl was a little smaller than desired but solid. The tacos were really good also. The hibiscus drink I found to be delicious and finished before my food was ready. ENJOY!

Birria Tacos (3 Tacos) Guac & Chips
Candace M.

This is my first time here and in College Park! I stopped in and the menu looked pretty extensive! I must say that the guacamole is some of the best I've ever had! The service was friendly and prepared my food quickly. I like the decor of the restaurant that got very colorful and good music. Understandably so it was a tad bit pricier than I would've thought, but it was worth it!

Steak Nachos(Choose Protein)
Bessy G.

Same dish, different year. Still flavorful. I went before the lunch rush so the dish was brought to the table. The parking isn't free, cheaper to pay for street parking at the meter

Parking garage rates right across the street

Randomly stopped in. Never been here before. It was "Taco Tuesday" so select tacos fillings were only $2.50 (Carnitas, Tofu and Chicken) I got a Carnitas taco. It was filled with various toppings. I added some medium sauce, grabbed a cup of free water and was on my way. Consider I was just trying to stave off hunger, I would have prob. got a 2nd :) Little dining space. Large menu. Worth a late night stop in

Baja Fish Taco & Crispy Shrimp Taco
Marlo J.

I decided to try this place out on a whim. Baja Fish Taco - Flour Tortilla Shrimp Taco - Corn Tortilla Birria Tacos The fish in the fish taco was pretty good. It had good flavor and tasted like it was cooked freshly. The shrimp taco was OK, nothing too crazy. The sauces in both were decent. I could've passed on the birria. It doesn't really have too much flavor when it comes to the meat or the consommé. There was definitely a lot of cheese in the birria taco as well. The tortilla wasn't crispy throughout. It was just crispy on the ends. I will say the fish taco gave this review some extra points for me but overall I think it's a pretty mid decent taco place. I did like how the flour tortillas weren't like those thick bulky flour tortillas. If I had eaten the fish taco alone in the order, I probably would've rated it higher. I'm not sure if it stays open late or not but it'd definitely be good for that.

Skirt Steak Quesadilla
Aries R.

This is a solid Mexican option for casual dining. They are really fast and the food is great, i recommend the steak quesadillas or burrito. They also offer a reward system and daily specials. I will say during my last visit they didn't give me sour cream and pico with my quesadilla like normal, but i think they were training someone. I visit here almost every week though so i strongly recommend!

Shrimp Burrito
Brittney W.

Came here on a Friday night hangry and I was kindly greeted by Lordez and another lady. They recommend that I choose the shrimp burrito over the fish one. My food was fresh and they were able to make the requested substitutions. Since the food was fresh and it was busy, it took about 20 min. The burrito was HUGE. The shrimp was good and flavorful but it doesn't disburse throughout the burrito well. So next time, if I want shrimp, I'll get the tacos and get the burrito with fish.

Parking can be a bit tricky because of the other popular businesses and a church nearby. Very quaint dining area and easy to order at the register. I opted to order to-go. Got 2 pollo, 2 carne, and a horchata for about $19 with tax. Food took about 20 mins, which is typical made-to-order timing. Tacos were both delicious. Very flavorful, not fatty, and the tortillas had great flavor and were the perfect thickness as to not fall apart while you're eating. The salsas provided were also pretty good. I liked the flavor and spice of red more than the green. Horchata was pretty sweet and could have used a bit more cinnamon. Final thoughts: Would definitely recommend for a quick bite of authentic flavors. Will definitely be back.

As much as I used to go to Beltway Plaza and shop in there, I never got any food from there…read more.. until now! Taco Tuesday means I have to enjoy some somewhere right?? El Taco Rico has some tables outside of the small restaurant, and there are a few inside. When you walk in, tables are to the left, and the register is to your right. They have a plastic screen up, and you can see their small menu... there are no physical ones, and I had to ask what their taco types were. From anyone just passing by, the place honestly doesn't look like much, and everything looks kind of old. I opted for 3 chicken tacos... which came to $12, I was surprised they were $4 each! Around my way I usualy expect things like tacos to be way cheaper lol. So I was a tad concerned... I went to sit down outside, and when the plate was brought to me (I chose dine-in) my jaw almost dropped when I looked at my plate. The tacos were bigger than I expected and they were loaded with chicken! They brought out 3 bottles of sauce and veggies to put on the tacos too! Presentation and size immediately took my concerns away. When I took a bite... yes. The pulled chicken was tender and I was STUFFED after I finished all 3.

This place is horrible!!!! I'm not sure how they have 4 stars and I don't understand how they're…read morestill in business. I will never ever ever come here again. I wouldn't even recommend this place to my worst enemy. First off they have no prices posted, secondly they only have about 8 items that they sell. I don't understand how they could mess up tacos to the extent that they did... I ordered 4 tacos (2 chicken and 2 steak). The tacos were $5.00 a piece and the quesadilla was $13 I believe. This was the worse $34.00 I've ever spent. The steak tacos were so small and they were dry but, they did have a little flavor to them. The chicken tacos were like dry shredded rubber--horrible. I couldn't even finish them, even after drenching them in all the sauce I had. The lime was so hard I had to fight to get juice out of it and when I did get juice to come out it was bitter--yuck! They doubled up on the wraps like most places do, but it was useless since the tacos were dried out. The cilantro and onions tasted fresh but that's about it. I removed the extra wraps and they were clean and looked unused. I thought the reason for the double wraps were to help support the first wrap so the taco doesn't come apart..... The wraps weren't even warmed together, they were literally separate--ugh.. The quesadilla was huge until my son opened it and looked inside. There wasn't much filling at all.The wrap was big and soggy--matter of fact I think it was a burrito instead of a quesadilla. It didn't look like it was heated nor was it cut. Everything is wrong at this place, I would avoid at all cost. This has to be the worst taco spot in Maryland.. I am very disappointed in this place, it was the worse experience ever. I've attached the pictures of all the bs they sold me. I

It's a hole in the wall! But hole in the walls are sometimes gems! I was the only female customer at 6ish. Quite a few men in the restaurant. The ladies working there are super nice, and attentive. Let's Get Into It! Cheese Enchilada - Met expectations. The chili sauce is not spicy and they made that enchilada cheesy! Fajitas- Met expectations. I have had better fajitas honestly but these weren't bad. Price point: Very Inexpensive for the amount of food! Overall, the place is decent. It has a El Salvadoran menu and Mexican menu, which for me I'm not a fan of. The Mexican dishes were okay but their tortillas were more thick and El Salvadoran style. I wouldn't return as the food was just okay for my liking. There were loud men singing at the top of their lungs like they were on the Latin Voice and that was off putting. I get it, they are having fun, but it wasn't karaoke night and was disturbing. I left after two songs of the man singing, thankfully I was already done. Definitely worth a try though for others.

The guy who preps the chicken didn't hear me? Giving me only one half chicken white. Manager fixed things but it did mess up their process a bit. I had to make sure I got the correct second meal. The chicken was great. Moist just the way we like it. The string beans were not cooked properly even though they looked good. This happens too often. The sauces. First, we just don't get enough sauces as part of the meal. Second, I was making sure I got enough sauces this time and ordered my usual types. Apparently, yellow sauce is now considered to be honey mustard. I did get some of the great tasting amerillo sauce but also got honey mustard which elsewhere is usually just fine. This honey mustard is awful. Trying to be like everyone else is not what made Sardis a success. If you must have honey mustard sauce go get a batch from McDonalds or some other fast food in the area. It will taste better. Was not happy with this visit. Given how high the prices have gotten Sardis can't afford to go down hill any further. I'm sure I'll go back sometime. Hoping things get better. Three stars cause the chicken was great.
