Rica’s Tacos — Restaurant in New York

No, no, absolutely NOT. I ordered carnitas and Korean bulgogi tacos. I was shocked and appalled by the poor quality despite this place having pretty decent reviews. I really question the taste of anybody who actually enjoys this food. The Carnitas tasted like canned meat (think: tuna fish in the can), and the Bulgogi was hard to even stomach because I couldn’t get past the smell and the texture. It smelled utterly gross like dog food. It is clear that they are either using frozen foods, microwaves, and/or don’t wash their meat nor cook it properly. All the tacos tasted like they were on the brink of expiration. Not to mention when I got tacos, they were soggy and excessively drenched in meat juice from the tacos. It was just NO.

I normally wouldn’t say anything because I like to try a place a couple of times before making an assessment and I like to patron small businesses, but I think the reviews that are on here are misleading. 🤮 Proceed...

You have to try this spot! I work in the area and I’m so happy I found this spot! My new go to! They’re staff is so nice and polite! You can tell the food is fresh and very well prepared! They have so many options of food, dessert and beverages! This is like chipotle but BETTER! I didn’t feel sluggish at all after eating three fully loaded tacos! I had the chicken teriyaki taco and 2 of the chicken tinga and they were so on point! I could’ve probably ate 10 of those lol! Like I said amazing, very welcoming staff, great food, great variety, great prices and so clean! I absolutely can’t wait to go back To work just to go to this spot again! Please try! I wish I had photos but I demolished the food before thinking of that lol. I’ll take some next time! I...

DON’T COME HERE!!!! FOOD IS BAD!! They load up your burrito with rice and beans- neglecting the protein portion. I ordered ahead of time over the phone for a burrito, but when I went to pick it up I saw an empty restaurant and my order hasn’t even been started. I would understand if the restaurant just opened for the day and there was a long line of orders , however this was not the case. I made the order an hour after they opened and they accepted it telling me it would take 10 minutes. On top of that they didn’t even properly wrap the burrito tight enough 👎🏼 .. I PROMISE YOU’LL REGRET SPENDING...
