    I'm going to be stereotypical for a second. Rico's storefront signs are entirely in Spanish, which made me think, "Oh, this has gotta be authentic Mexican food. They're not even catering to English-only speakers!" Perhaps that's an ingenious marketing tactic; if so, it worked. It's a very small place with a diner counter and about three tables. I didn't see a menu posted anywhere, but the woman behind the counter provided one. Pretty limited menu, but that's not really a surprise with the word "tacos" in the name. Actually I should be surprised that they offered other items. Went on a Saturday and the woman told me they only had tacos that day. However, a whiteboard behind me said something about flautas being available on Saturdays and Sundays. (I know enough Spanish to understand that!) I wasn't concerned though. I came for the tacos, plus a small establishment like that tries to minimize costs wherever possible. If they didn't think they would have a great demand for flautas then they aren't going to make them. No points deducted there. We ordered four tacos ($2/taco!): two beef, a chicken, and a pork one. We had an option of beans or soup. In the five minutes it took to serve us, the woman set down a verde dip of some sort (It wasn't salsa, but I'd never seen it before) and radish slices. That was a really unique touch. We dipped the radishes in the sauce. Boy was it spicy! I was impressed. The tacos were delicious. She provided us with some diced pineapple for the pork taco. The beans are not your average baked beans. They are stewed in a beef broth with pork bits, hot dogs (??), and beef bones (adds succulence). As a gringo, I can only assume they are authentic, but I could be wrong. Be careful though about biting down on a bone fragment. I only encountered one. They are a cash only business, but they have a sign right at the cash register, so it's your fault if you order before realizing that. This was truly an enjoyable experience: fast, inexpensive, and delicious!

    Not much in the way of ambiance. Really small. Reminds me of a converted old coffee/diner spot. But the counter staff is super friendly. And the four tacos I had (two chicken, two pork) were simply divine. And at about $2.25 a pop, the price is awesome. Go here!

    They are a taco shop... Very delicious tasty tacos. (They have Pozole[whole hominy kernel soup] either (green or white) with (chicken or pork).... They serve it with taquitos (fried rolled up tacos filled with chicken), chicharrones (fried pork skin), chiles rellenos (jalapeño filled with fresh cheese), avocado, radish, fresh cheese, and tostadas, everything is on the side on a different plate of course. It's super delicious!!!!!! But they only serve that on Thursdays. They also have tortas during the weekdays... Love them!! You must try it!!!! So good, seriously. GO!!

    Wow Rico's Tacos makes some great tacos. Try the Barbacoa and Tounge - both are super delicious. $2.25 per taco is a steal too. Tacos are legit authentic: double-wrapped with legit corn tortillas and topped with cilantro and lime. Plus the tacos come with 3 different salsas (verde, roja, and a guacamole-ish salsa), a bowl of limes and radishes, and avocado on the side. Also, they provide soup for free with your meal: choice of bean soup or spicy beef soup. They have several agua frescas --- horchata is they way to go because the salsas can be spicy. Definitely check this place out: Thurs-Sun 10am to 9pm. Cash only.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
