This establishment is unfortunately not good at all. What makes it worse is the pricing I ordered tamales and got this! NASTY. I was trying to be understanding and reorder a new tamale but the photo speaks for itself. This is the second time food like this comes to my table!? read more

Reviews make this place seem good but I didn't get to experience good when I came to eat here. First off this place needs a serious cleaning and maybe a fresh coat of paint. Not a deal breaker for me because sometimes holes in the wall have serious food. I ordered the carnitas burrito and really what it was pounds of rice and beans in a burrito with little pork. It was edible but not worth it. With plenty of taco/burrito options in the area they need to step their game up. read more

This place been here forever! I've been coming here since I was a teenager, but not often since I don't live around here, but at least every other month. This place has never disappointed me. My go-tos are al pastor and chorizo tacos. Always filled with flavor and they do fill the tacos nicely. Yes, the place looks sort of dingy, I don't think it's been renovated, but the food is good! I also like to order their lime juice. read more

This place had completely blanketed the neighborhood with their trash. There are Ricos Tacos stickers on everything - poles, neighborhood free libraries for children, trees, bus stops, just everywhere. The menus are even worse - they are littering the streets on every block. Polluting the neighborhood with litter is not ok. They're a really bad neighbor to have done this. Making the residents live in their filth and clean it up themselves is unacceptable. They need to clean it up. All of the photos were taken within a 2 hour period this morning. Build business by offering quality, reasonably priced food. The money wasted on stickers and menus could have gone towards promotions to increase awareness. Destroying entire neighborhoods within a 15 block radius with trash is not going to entice people to support you. read more

2.5, rounding up for no good reason. Despite my better judgement, we recently did a taco/Mexican food crawl in Sunset Park. The goal was to definitively decide, one way or the other, if NYC had any good Mexican food (or at least any Mexican-style food comparable to the West Coast- forget about being comparable to any Mexican city). Long story short, not in Sunset Park. This place is fine. It's not as good as any taco truck in San Francisco. But the food is reasonable I guess. Our carnitas taco was OK. Our al pastor taco was meh. We had a tacos arabes that was gross. Maybe we were't supposed to order that. Mea culpa... Failure, once again... read more

Ricos Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My family and I have been coming here since I was a kid. The food here never failed! Tacos are delicious, meats are filled with flavor. It's a plus that they are opened late so any late night taco cravings just come here! I always get the al pastor, my favorite taco, and every now and then I would get carne asada. Only thing that isn't so appealing is that the owner never renovated or fixed anything up since... for as long as I can remember. So, it does look dingy and run down from inside and out, which can sometimes make people want to second think before eating here, but that aside the tacos are great here. read more

I felt bad we spent $55 for tasteless food. The carne asada tacos were more like carne guisana no flavor, with cooked onions... the green sauce was just green liquid no flavor ... the guacamole.. I can tell you it had lemon ... first and last time. The staff were friendly and attentive. read more

It is my favorite Mexican restaurant. Reasonable prices and flavorful food make me happy . It is really open 24 hours entire day!! Service so nice ! I was fully addicted with horchata and tostada!! read more

My favorite taco place when I was living in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. It used to be smaller but now is bigger and more comfy. They serve the traditional Mexican food which ny favorites are the tacos the cueritos, posole y las tostadas. The services are on point and very friendly. The prices are cheaper than other tacos places so making it even better for my pocket. I can eat more for less without compromising the taste and the services. A place that you must visit when you come visit New York City, Brooklyn ! read more

The food was good, but the service was really bad we had to call the lady that was working because she didn't came to us, I know that a person is tired after a long day, still it was her job to attend us. read more

My go to place in sunset park when I'm running errands and need a quick bite , friendly staff and good food . Reasonable price .

Rico's Tacos is a gem! I've been to the restaurant twice and, despite mixed experiences, want to keep coming back. The food is absolutely delicious; I genuinely had one of the best tortas yet (regarding my somewhat limited encounters with Mexican food) in my most recent stay. It's also very affordable (I got a torta + a taquito for $9). It's also possible to get more small, yet filling, dishes for under $5. Almost everything is under $10 - only some larger entrees go above that price. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because, the first time I ate at Rico's Tacos, I waited over 45 minutes for lemonade plus a taco. My friends and I were a bit irritable, but still had a nice time. Hopefully, future experiences will be handled better. I would still recommend this place to anyone considering it. Just make sure to BRING CASH and overestimate your eating time :) read more

A 25 minute wait for 6 little tacos on a Tuesday afternoon....was not even that busy. I was only crossing fingers that I would not get a ticket for parking at the hydrant right out front. Phew, I didn't. Thought it would've been a smooth and easy take out if I had an easy order. Two of each: Chicken, Spicy Pork, and Beef. Got home, stomach growling and everything, after all this, I take a bite into dry pieces of chicken. Okay, I still got my all time fave, the Spicy Pork, not even spicy. My last hope, oily beef. Not even that, they were rolled up in parchment paper, which it got stuck on to the tacos after being steamed in the take out container along with the grease from the beef. For now, I'll just say it was an off day. read more

Best Mexican restaurant near 53rd st, very fast service and reliable when it comes to taste

Things that make this joint my favorite spot 1. Hole in the wall; authentic 2. Guacamole sauce is like ice cream and I drain my food with it. 3. Cheap. I order so many things on the menu and the bill is still so cheap. Favorite things to order on the menu 1. Steak tostada 2. Steak taquitos Note: when it's busy, the wait for the food can be long. So long that you get delirious and angry. Once food hits the table, you become barbaric. read more

really bad service i waited hour n a half to jus get even my drink making this review while im still waiting for my food i hope it tastes good if not they need to shut this place down or start hiring energized n hard working people service is soo baddd read more

The tacos are soooo legit. I love that this place offers lengua, cabeza, buche, and a bunch of other animal parts other places don't offer. The tacos are a decent size and cost no more than $3. You get unlimited chips and salsa the moment you sit down to eat. I ordered the guacamole, which was freshly made and chunky ( just the way I like it). It was a huge serving of guac, they might have used 2 avocados. This place isn't overpriced at all and the food is delicious. The only reason why I won't give them a 5-star rating is that they are so slow! I came at around 7 pm, the shop wasn't packed, but it took me 20-30 minutes to get my food. I will come back though because they are opened 24/7 and do delivery! read more

Broooooooooo the foood here is not gooood!!! The torta was very cold , the bread was very different than other places I had if from , the chorizo meat was way to chewy and. Not enjoyable .

I eat this all the time and I never had a problem anywhere with this dish , well no she couldn't do nothing about it but charge me ofc . Ontop of that we waited an hour for the food and the bathrooom was disgusting , clogged , paper everywhere . It was a very bad experience . read more

If you've been to Tacos El Bronco, a few blocks over on 4th, and you thought to yourself, I wish this place was even more authentic, and I wish it had a real seedy vibe ... well then, Ricos Tacos is for you. What Ricos lacks in decore, upkeep, cleanliness, and unbroken windows, they thoroughly make up for in authentic, almost obscenely inexpensive tacos. It's like $1.50 for a taco. $1.50. So you could get like a bag of pretzels, or, a delicious taco. I don't really know how you can beat that. Onto a few caveats: yes, this place is remarkably slow, almost to the point where it's impressive. Even on a relatively slow day, expect to wait around 20 minutes for a few tacos to finally show up ... and that's on the fast side. The restaurant itself seems to be in a rather questionable state of repair, where if I read in the news it collapsed tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. But, it's all about the food, people, and they definitely do their tacos right. In this current age, where tacos are about as popular as crack cocaine in the late 80s, it's nice to see that some truly authentic places are still around, and completely unaffected by the recent explosion of their mainstay dish. The al pastor, chorizo, and carnitas tacos are all very good, and in my opinion, worth the wait. read more

Food took a while to get here, I waited 35 mins for one pollo torta, two pollo tacos, and one chorizo taco. Tacos were average.

BEST TACOS EVER! Their wait time for pick ups are roughly about 15-20 minutes, which is understandable on my part considering they have about 2 servers usually and 1 cook sometimes. Experience was great for dine in. Outdoor seating! Simple. Their grilled chicken tortas are amazing. Especially their avocados. Don't forget the steak tacos. Don't forget their horchata! read more

What a great hole in the wall! The interior is definitely mom and pop store and a little sketchy, but the food is amazing! It's delicious and cheap. I find it hard to find any other restaurant that can rival Rico's tacos. Service is a little slow but they are very nice. There's is always people coming in and out of the store, but there are usually seats. The burritos are huge and can be eaten for two meals! Keep in mind that when you order takeout for soft tacos, you have to order two of one item because they do not want to waste a tray with only one soft taco. read more

Well folks, what can I say... This is it, your search is over, you've found the spot. Ricos is truly the diamond in the rough of authentic Mexican cuisine & is my absolute favorite. The lengua tacos are likely the best you'll ever taste, that's if you haven't tasted them yet. Anther must have is their tostada tinga style which is Smokey and fully loaded w avocado cotija cheese n crema. You may not know it but they also have what could be the greatest sandwich in NYC. Order a torta & you may agree, they are my wife's fav & she joneses for em at times. We went here on our first date & that was the deal maker. Love at first taco. read more

Walking in I was greeted and given a menu. There is a large selection to choose from. The lady working there answered all my questions and was very nice.

This place has consistently slow service, even during off-peak hours. Also, somehow people that show up after us somehow get their orders before us. It's not even like we place large orders. We are the only customers there when we show up and it takes over 30mins for 9 tacos? We didn't even want this many but the lady said we had to get three of each??? (Was told two another time) They lady taking orders changes the minimum taco order amount every time. I've also noticed a trend in how well customers are treated based on certain physical attributes... It's also evident in the negative tips and negative reviews. The tacos themselves are pretty good. Comparable to tacos el bronco close by. read more

This place was nearby and I decided to stop in once during lunch. Waitresses ignore you and the place is pretty dingy. But sometimes the best places are. Not in this case. My food took awhile to get, even though it was just three tacos and my experience was dampened by someone coming around and asking me for spare money. I felt for the guy, but as a restaurant, I was disappointed, because the staff was definitely just letting the guy walk around bothering the customers. read more

Ricos Tacos - Just okay - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Rico Suave has his own taco shop. It's really very good! You're gonna love it! He also owns Suave shampoo by the way. What to get: Arabes tacos, Huaraches, and Horchata What else: Ricooooooo. Suaaaaaaaaaave. I'll be brief, like a pair of boxers. The horchata here is fantastic. They make a special kind of taco called "Arabes" which is supposed to be Middle Eastern influenced. It's sliced off a big thingy, sort of like Pastor. It tastes great. They smother it in very unusual sauce. I love it. You can also get other types of Mexi-stuff here such as Huaraches. These thick, delicious thingamijiggies have a very greasy yummy squidgy base and are like heaven. They're even better than tacos. Try one. Wash it down with some Horchata. Thank me later. This is some of the best Mexican food in Brooklyn - on its day. I think that's what the main issue is. I've eaten here 3 times. Once was phenomenal. Once was mediocre. And once was pretty damn good. All three times I ordered similar things (tacos, huaraches and horchata). The main inconsistency is the Horchata. One day it'll be one of the best I've ever tasted. Another day it's not really very good. But you know... if you get it on a good day. You're in luck. And if it were a "De Gallo" kind of place, it'd be Pico's Tacos. If it were full of smokers it'd be Nico-tine's Tacos. If it sold candy, it'd be Lico-rice's Tacos. And if it were a sex shop, it'd be D*ck-O's Tacos. And probably way more popular. Alas, it just sells food. But it's damn good food. read more

Ricos serves authentissimo tacos--small, fresh tortillas piled with marinated pork/beef/shredded chicken, lettuce, cilantro, a sprinkling of cheese, and lime on the side, accompanied by red, green, and avocado salsas. At ~$1.50 per taco, you can't beat the price. The al pastor and enchilada tacos are my favorite. It is insufferably hot inside though, and the music they blast is cheesier than the tacos. read more

This is the kind of place I would think of for an authentic taco. Well, no estamos en Mexico, pero...este lugar comes close to stalls in Mexico. I liked that they have a few picnic tables along the side of the joint with an awning. It was a hot and lovely day and perfect to enjoy tacos alfresco! The service is Mexican-style. So just be happy someone came by and tried to take your order. The woman taking our order was nice, but kindly informed me that they didn't have any fish tacos or tamales. Just lovely. She suggested that I get a veggie taco. Alright, I wasn't going to complain. A beggar can't be choosy. She put everything imaginable in the taco. Hongos, frijoles, arroz, lechuga, y tomate. It was a pretty decent taco and I got my daily requirement of fiber out of this taco. Mis compadres also ordered up a few Mexican cokes. They told me it wasn't made with HFCS and made with real sugar. I am assuming it tastes better. I haven't had a coke in awhile. Great place to dine for some antojitos to satisfy that taco craving. Sit outside when the weather is nice and just ogle the interesting the people that walk by. Now, I needed was some ranchera music to truly take me to Mexico Lindo! read more
