Let's just say I was hangry when I arrived and I was super excited to see they were offering a limited menu due to RAGBRAI and that they were churning out orders FAST. I went with three tacos - one of each offering - and they were all delicious. My favorite was definitely the steak and bacon taco, but I would 100 percent eat this exact meal again and again if I lived in Denison. If you happen to be passing through (or, perhaps you're local and looking to try out a new spot) El Paisano is a gem and totally worth it. Cheers to supporting local businesses!

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!
