The chicken was big and dry, the coleslaw wasn't good, and it was just a messy meal. The fries were normally their delicious way. The location of this restaurant is also a little inconvenient as you're fighting with other local mainstream shops in 1-surrounding parking lot, not even mentioning the huge UMD campus near by. I don't think I'd want to come to this location again unless I'm in walking distance, and for this visit in particular, I was driving.

I ordered delivery the first time and enjoyed it but wanted to sit down and try again as well. Ordered the birria tacos, spicy chicken, grilled chicken, and the Al pastor tacos. The Al pastor felt a bit overcooked but still had great flavor. Both chicken tacos smacked tkl and the birria was fantastic. Tender meat with a yummy consommé to dip in. Parking at this location is kinda hit or miss since it's street parking. I know there's a location in Beltsville -- haven't been there but will soon to scope the parking situation out.

This place is definitely a hidden gem in College Park. I tried the al pastor, carne asada, lengua,…read moreand shrimp tacos, and every single one was excellent. The tortillas were fresh and tasted homemade, and each meat was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. You can tell they care about the quality of their food. I also tried the esquites. They were good, but they didn't stand out as much as the tacos. The tacos are definitely the star of the menu. If you're looking for authentic tacos in the area, Tacos A La Madre is absolutely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back.

Been a while since I've been to Taco Bell, and honestly this visit was pretty disappointing…read more The biggest issue was the wait time. Our food took longer than expected, but one of my friends had it way worse--he ordered second, yet somehow about 10 people got their food before him. When he went up to ask what was going on, the person we assumed was the manager gave a snarky response: "I'm calling them as I get them." Not exactly helpful, and definitely not great customer service. It still took quite a while after that for his food to come out. On top of that, I ordered a Baja Blast, but the manager ended up locking the soda fountain so no one could get refills because a few people were abusing the water cups. I get the reasoning, but it kind of ruined it for everyone else who paid for drinks. Overall, not the best experience. Between the long wait and poor customer service, this visit definitely missed the mark.

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

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.
