Taco Rico — Restaurant in Maryland

Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt . But very disappointed. Several bad experiences and I still went back . But never again . 1st occasion: they missed one taco in my order . (Didn’t say anything) 2nd occasion: I ordered a chicken quesadilla and it was SUPER dry & hard to even chew . ( didn’t say anything) 3rd occasion: I ordered tacos to go . When I got home I opened the tacos and on 3 tacos there was barely any meat(tacos de tripa) I called and told them that if they didn’t have enough meat they could have told me so I could select another type of meat but those tacos were just unacceptable because I paid full price for the taco not parcial price . I was told they were sorry and next time I would get “two free tacos” 4th occasion: I ordered my tacos and mentioned the “two free tacos” . I waited one hour for “9” tacos . I get home and I’m missing “the two free tacos” and one of the tacos that i did get once again barely had meat . At this point I was very upset . I didn’t call I went to back to the restaurant. I mentioned that I didn’t get the “two free tacos “ they proceeded to say I wasn’t getting no free tacos because they tacos from the previous time had enough meat . I said okay that I wanted my money back and I was returning the tacos because I was not satisfied. They said they could refund me because I paid with card .

Overall I wouldn’t recommend this place . Not to mention one time I saw the guy owner outside the restaurant and he came inside and started cooking without washing his hands.

Hope someone from the restaurant reads...

Got birria, steak tortas, pupusas, and guac. Birria and steak tortas were exceptional. Spicy, savory, peppery, dark flavors. Hearty portions. The consomé was crazy flavor full with an intense depth of flavor. The torta roll was a bit spotty but we got it take out so I won't count that against them. The veggies were fresh with plenty of bite and pop to them. The guac and pupusas were excellent sides. Guac was a bit peppery but I like that and it it's fresh tomatoes and onions in it. Not all places do that but it's how I like my guac so was pleasantly surprised. The pupusas themselves were crisp with a savory and slightly sweet flavor. Really excelled with the curtido. Inside is colorful and the staff are busy and focused. I had to wait for my food but I got to see the food go from prep, to grill, to me which was a treat. sorry if I seemed like I was staring. The cooks were good, looked like they are preparing 10-12 orders. I must say I didn't care for their refried beans but I don't think they were bad just not my style. The flavor was good. Got a side of rice and it was good. Salsa verde and rojas came with the meal and...

On Sunday evening; I was there with my friend. We ordered Pancita Sup, Tacos and a Burrito. The place was crowded and I expected to have the order coming with delay because of that. But I was wrong. The server named Candy did a very good job bringing the food in a short period of time very reasonable considering the amount of costumers. She was very nice and efficient with a beautiful smile and that is exactly what makes a costumer comeback. Good food and fantastic serving skills. I invite you all to go to Taco Rico and experience the authentic Mexican Food. And feel completely like a king or Queen on the hands of Candy the best Server I have found on the area of Mexican restaurants in Riverdale. I give this experience a 5 stars no doubt about...
