Al's Ricos Tacos — Restaurant in Fresno

Review for Al’s Ricos Tacos – Fresno, CA

Coming to Al’s Ricos Tacos is more than just a stop for great food—it's a deeply personal tradition for me. I’ve been coming here since I was a child, always accompanied by my mother. She’s no longer with us, but this place keeps a part of her memory alive. Every visit feels like stepping back into those cherished moments of my childhood. The sound of the grill, the scent of the tortillas, and the warmth of the staff—it all takes me back.

To see this small, family-run business still thriving after all these years is genuinely magical. It brings me comfort and reminds me of simpler times. Whenever I visit, I make it a point to order a little extra—for her. The tacos here taste exactly as they did when I was young: the tortillas are perfectly toasted, the meat is flavorful and tender, and the salsa has just the right kick. It’s rare for a place to maintain that same consistent quality over time, but Al’s does it effortlessly.

This spot is a true gem in Fresno. It’s not just about the food—it’s about the love, memories, and legacy behind every plate. I’m so grateful Al’s is still around and thriving. If you’re in Fresno and want to experience something truly special, stop by and grab some tacos. It’s comfort food, memory, and flavor—all in one plate.

This place is actually a little jewel for anyone who finds her or himself in this part of town. The prices are amazingly fair and the food is really good! So far I've tried the taco plate, which consists of two delicious little tacos, perfect for a woman's palate, size-wize. Today I switched it up to the torta , which is a little more bold, as I had more of an appetite. It was great! Even though my heritage is northern European, I am suspicious that somehow, someway some Mexican got in there because I love Mexican food and all things south of the border. Well, almost all things. I've had my share of bad water, shall I say. What I was getting at , is that this little place has the most delicious salsa. The first time, on my tacos, I just used a little on the tacos, then drank the whole container of salsa. It's that good!
