Delivery order, this place showed up as Rico’s Tacos on DoorDash and I wanted Mexican breakfast.
Packed SO well in styrofoam containers but then wrapped in foil which was necessary because the beans were the thin kind(not thick).The portions are obscene, like the biggest I’ve seen. Got the chorizo and eggs and huevos Mexicanas. Each dish came with a pack of hot Atotonilco corn tortillas. So for 2 breakfast items, I got at least 24 tortillas, maybe 30. Insane.
The chorizo and eggs needed salt and was made with what I assume is fresh chorizo since they’re in a grocery store and they weren’t greasy at all which I appreciate, but the flavor could’ve been better. The Mexicanas were tasty but also needed salt. I don’t like overly salted food, so would prefer to have to add salt, than it be too salty. The rice and beans were delicious, especially the rice - very well seasoned. The horchata which i rarely get was one of the best I had because I could really taste the cinnamon in it.
The food was good for what it was and I’m excited to find a new grocery spot, which I intend to check out in addition to the other food offerings at their taqueria.
The feedback I’d give is to add options on delivery service to add items to dishes like cheese, onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, etc. I would’ve like to have been able to add that to my chorizo and eggs. Also, don’t need so many tortillas, I assume it’s a expediency thing and that they’re getting them for dirt cheap, but it’s not necessary. Finally, the only thing I would’ve liked better is if the lid to my horchata was taped down including the straw hole. Nothing spilled but I do get paranoid about a driver slipping something into fountain drinks that aren’t taped down. My own...
Read moreWe stayed in an AirBnB in this neighborhood while in Chicago and being big fans of authentic Mexican Cusine, we were very excited to stumble upon Rico Fresh.
We only came here for breakfast and had every tamale they made, as well as their Huevos Con Chorizo and Huevos Rancheros.
The tamales, every variation were excellent! You’re always afraid of tamales being dry, but these were moist, filling and flavorful!
If I was to make any critique, the chorizo was on the burnt side, however still flavorful. They also give you a stack of fresh corn tortillas with the breakfast platters.
On top of the small eatery, this grocery store was packed full of fresh produce, a huge assortment of Mexican pastries, and a huge beer/liquor section. I kinda wish we had a Rico Fresh back in Philly where I live. I’d no longer shop at Giant or Acme if this existed in Philly.
If you happen to find yourself in this neighborhood of Chicago, and want authentic Mexican fare, definitely give them your business! You won’t be...
