Wow, what a find, and all thanks to Yelp!…read more A few blocks east of Duff Road on the south side of Lincoln Way, Rico's Tacos is a wonderful combination of customer service, personality, and a quality food product. We visit Ames frequently for family and were comparing taco trucks on Yelp before making our initial trip to Rico's. Manny was working the truck and is a good guy who knows his product. He guided me to their burrito, which was amazing. The tortilla did not fall apart, and its contents were spectacular, merging asada beef with scrambled eggs and other items to yield a great meal. I loved both of their sauces, with the red-hot red narrowly defeating the tasty green salsa! There is a lot of parking in this location, and the truck's staff makes it a positive experience due to their interaction and people skills. A taco truck isn't supposed to be an elegant experience! Thanks to customer Jessie, who visited as I was ordering and used Rico's for her wedding catering, giving me keen insight to their food!

He told me I had to go look for it. This was right when they open, and there was nobody in line.

Well at the 2018 Ames Pridefest, who should I find but the Hungry Boys taco truck? Filled my tummy and my spirit to see some brown brothers at Pridefest serving delicious Mexican food.

Catch them on Facebook, they do keep funky and late hours, but if you have a legit Mexican palate you want to put in the effort.

It is not technically a truck, rather a trailer. It was lunch time and when I finished my locksmoth business I enjoyed three tacos de lengua. The tortillas were fried but left soft, exactly the way I like them. The lengua was cooked very tender and grilled a little to prepare it for the tacos. They were delicious. I liked both salsas. One was smooth, green avocado based and the other was red chile based. What a great place. I counted 17 different tortas on the menu.
