this is a mom and pop eatery of the best kind. Great service, and the food was delicious. Do not underestimate the portion size as it is indeed very filling. Would absolutely eat here again?

I just had Rico’s tacos for the first time today after hearing how good it was for years it seems. It lived up to the hype! Got the shredded beef taco and a steak taco the food was prepared quickly, seemed fresh, and tasted great! I’ll be back for sure.

We had the Quesatacos and street corn. Both were so delicious!! Definitely recommend!

Tried this place while visiting Branson. Small spot with good food! I tried the Gorditas plate with some pineapple salsa from their salsa bar. SO GOOD! I chose steak for my protein in my meal. It was juicy and not greasy at all. The fried corn cakes were crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside. Very flavorful! My husband had the steak burrito dinner. His favorite. Again, the steak was juicy and flavorful and not greasy. Both meals came with rice and refried beans that were also good. Usually at Mexican restaurants, there is complimentary chips and salsa, here they give something else. I'm not entirely sure what they are, they're wheel shaped and puffed. I think they're pork rinds lol (I know, I should have just asked). We put a little hot sauce on them and they were pretty good! Sooo... there's that! Haha! :) Service was good and pricing was fair. Could have been a little cleaner, so took off 1 star. Check em out!

Some of the best tamales and tacos I've ever had. The sauces are really good, more the green one I don't remember the name of. Y'all keep going i wanna eat here again even if it mean I have to drive 3:30 hours to get here

Great food that reminded me of the tacos we’ve had in Mexico. Very crowded but still had quick and friendly service.

Everything Was So Good!!!! Our Food Came Out So Fast. I’m In Love With The $1.75 Tacos

We recently used them for a wedding catering and was very pleased. We will be using them again in the future. How they had the food setup was absolutely beautiful. The food tasted great, the staff was very professional and the amount of food was unbelievable. Not to mention it was very reasonable priced.

Can’t relate to any of the negative reviews! We have been twice and both times everyone is so polite and the food is great! My husband loves the street corn! The consommé is off the chain

Finally. After years of disappointing “ Branson style” Mexican food fancied up for tourists at absurd prices and small portions we found tacos 1. It reminds me of the food back home in California. Fresh Ingredients, large portions made the way it is supposed to be. Simple and delicious. This was the first time ever I was asked at a Mexican eatery in the area if I wanted cilantro. YES I would love cilantro, thank you! We ordered the street tacos which were normal sized tacos piled high with goodness. Not the silver dollar sized tacos you get in town at most places. The pico was delicious as well as the side of rice and beans we ordered. I can't say enough good things. We will definitely be going back.
