Hailing from Texas myself I know true Tex Mex.This place comes very close to true Tex Mex.I say close because it's missing something. And I honestly can't put my finger on it.Food servings are generous. Very tasty. But again.Missing that something special to call it authentic.The salsa is imo a major disappointment.While delicious it lacked the "kick" (heat)Thier most spicy salsa was mild.Overall I really liked eating here. And will return.

Lucked up on this little spot and couldn't be happier. The food from this spot was the most memorable ever. The tacos were so delicious we wished we would have gotten more than to two. We just wanted to try them and we were more disappointed we didn't get more.The chicken was moist and seasoned to perfections and the beef was even better. This is a small easy to miss restaurant but the local know because the DoorDash orders were flying out the door. I want to go back to Miami just to eat a few more tacos.

I bought food at the Taco Rico on US1, Coral Gables today 3/30/22. Worst food ever! don't got there, don't waste your money. I bought a "Steak Burrito Platter". Something tasted bad in the burrito, something was old. It was not made with stake, it was made with meat balls meat!!! the platter had a chicken taco, it tasted bad too. The refried beans and rice were bad... I had to throw the food away. How could they call this "Mexican Food"... what a joke... and what a waste of money!

Super nice staff and great crunchy tacos. I love how generous they are with their salsas too.

Great taco place with reasonable prices and fantastic service. There's parking available and there's even a few tables outside.Food was delicious. We tried various tacos, burritos and an enchilada. The guys behind the counter are really friendly.You will find restrooms behind the building. A bit sketchy, but they were surprisingly clean and smelled fresh. That's always a testament to a well run restaurant.We'll definitely be back next time we're in Miami.

Awesome food, also for vegetarians like us. We had the veggie taco options that were awesome! Super friendly staff and reasonable pricing!

We really enjoyed this stop for quick Mexican food. Tasty counter service, right off of Dixie Highway, we definitely recommend this spot.

Delicious food. The quesadillas are top notch. Recommended

My brother recommended this place. Started with very fresh chips and salsa on-the-house. I ordered the Lunch with 1 beef taco and 1 beef burrito. It came with rice, beans and cheese. The taco was very good, filled with ingredients that tasted very good. The burrito was beefy as I had hoped. But, best of all was the absolutely incredible spicy habanero salsa that the Manager, Marlon, made! It was perfect!!! The prices here are unbeatable. The staff is very friendly and inviting. The place is very clean and there is ample parking right out front. I will definitely be back for those .99cent tacos on Monday too! Thanks again Marlon! Highly recommended for any Tex-Mex food lover.

Quick, delicious and gracious staff. Had tacos al pastor. Came with rice, beans, some chips and a drink. I highly recommend their chipotle salsa. I will definitely be back.
