They converted a part of the parking lot for that. The food, itself was really good. My picky daughter even had two orders of the beef tacos. Plus, the prices were very affordable.

It feels a bit out of the way, but it is actually pretty close to Woodbridge and surrounding areas. I really loved it. The food was delicious with generous portions. It is a little pricey, but definitely worth it. The service is nice and the chips and salsa are excellent. Even though it has a Mexican theme, the food feels more like a fusion and not fully traditional Mexican. Some of the portion sizes are huge, but everything tastes great. I always enjoy eating here and keep coming back. They do get busy, but the staff is attentive and the decor is really cool. I would definitely stop by if you want to leave full and satisfied.

I ordered bistec tacos which come 3 to an order for $14. My wife ordered lengua tacos which are 3 for $16. We shared an order of tortilla chips with guac. Chips were fresh out of the fryer, golden brown, and still warm when we got to the waterfront. Guac was chunky, fresh and so flavorful. The two of them were a perfect combo. Bistec tacos were delicious! Steak was thinly cut, seasoned well, and grilled nicely with a tasty char to it. Homemade tortillas, onion, cilantro, a little salsa verde, and a little salsa Rojo with flash fried green onion on top made for a great lunch. My wife loved her lengua tacos. That meal along with enjoying it on the waterfront during perfect weather turned it into a wonderful afternoon!

I ordered shrimp tacos, quesadilla de pollo and a plain churro. Everything was fresh. Everything was full of flavor. Everything was authentic and everything was well prepared. I will certainly try everything on the menu. I am more than pleased with the food and speed of preparation. Totally recommend Rico Taco Mex! Happy eating!

There's no shredded cheese or baskets of chips here--just real Mexican dishes done right. The tacos and burritos are great, but don't sleep on the dinner plates. In our house, the steak and onions are a favorite every time. My personal go-to is the squash blossom quesadilla--don't ask, just order it (and always ask for extra sauce). One heads-up: they're cash only.

The meat came in huge pieces, it should have been chopped smaller. The tortillas are huge, they were very basic, lots of cilantro, not enough onions, lemons were dry, tacos were basically dry unless you use a lot of salsa. I will say the salsa was okay but hardly any flavor. The ladies never checked on me even though I was the only one there. I paid using Zelle. They never came out to confirm my payment or anything so I left. I wouldn't recommend this place at all.
