Taco Rico Coral Gables — Restaurant in Coral Gables

This place is honestly hit or miss. The food is pretty good but what turns me off completely is the service. I'll call ahead to place an order, they'll tell me to come in 10 minutes. I decide to come in 25, just to give them the extra time to prepare it. I get there and they JUST STARTED making the food.

This isn't even a one time occurrence. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but it's happened more than once, more than twice before I said forget it.

This place could be so much better if they didn't have terrible customer service. Another time, I called and placed an order for chicken tacos and they gave me bean instead. Things like that is what made me stop coming to this place.

You're probably better off going to Salsa Fiesta a little south of this Taco Rico. If you're not up for the gamble of potentially not getting what you asked for, I'd stay away...

I think that this Taco Rico located on South Dixie highway and LeJeune Road is the original. Place is small with only about 7 tables but don't let that stop you because the food is awesome. We were 6 and got the usual texmex flair of burritos, fajitas, and tacos. All of it was excellent and plentiful. They offer a salsa/sauce station with about 7 to 8 different salsas from mild to hot to roasted to verde. Excellent. You get chips and salsa with your order, pretty cool. This location has been here for decades and never disappoints. Only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because the guy who took our order looked liked he hated his job and had the personality of a wet rag. He's been like this before on other visits. If he's not the owner I would fire him. Smiles and thank yous are required to make any place earn 5 stars. Would I go back? You bet your...

This is the original taco Rico I've been waiting here for 20 years. The owners started small and have been growing slowly. The food is delicious high-quality and reasonably priced.

Monday is taco night where they have beef bean and chicken tacos either crunchy or soft for only 99 cents.

My favorite thing is their fajitas served on a sizzling cast iron skillet at the table. At only $10.99 for the chicken or vegetable fajita you get an amazing meal. It comes with a little container with fresh hot tortillas, chicken with onions and peppers served with sides of sour cream, shredded cheese and guacamole.

they have an excellent lunch combination special my favorite is lunch d which comes with a chimichanga as well as a variety of other...
