Decent food, friendly service. They're not setting the world on fire, but they'll give you a good meal at a fair price.

$1.99 Taco Tuesday is where it's at! They have limited taco options (chicken, ground beef, chorizo, or carnitas) that count but dang who cares. All were great little street tacos, especially with their 3 sauce options they brought out. My husband and I also shared their steak nachos and they were delightful! Staff were friendly and attentive. They were blaring some random music (Michael Jackson/Queen/hispanic rap) so it was a bit loud but overall still a great experience. We'll definitely be back to try other items on their menu!

First time trying and I will be back!! Chorizo, Asada, Pollo all fantastic flavor. This place serves true Mexican plus, we got our food within like 5 minutes. There's a bit of a language barrier (because I don't speak spanish) but the staff make sure to get your order right. Chill environment too!

Being a little expensive, and a small language barrier prevent a 5 star rating. Otherwise, the atmosphere is nice, and the food is really good. Nice little place to eat. ?

I heard from a friend about their cheap prices for soft tacos on Tuesdays. This Mexican restaurant is in the north end of a strip mall north of 38th Ave & Wadsworth. It is quite small with only 8 booths along the wall and the kitchen opposite. They have a small bar with 3 stools. Indeed, you can get chicken, ground beef, carnitas and chorizo tacos for $1.99 each. I got the chicken, carnitas and chorizo with a bottle of Jarritos Tamarind soda. They brought out 3 salsas, red, green, and something else. I tried the red & green salsas. Nice and spicy. They have a full menu of standard Mexican food. I got a bowl of Pork posole with hominy, cilantro and lettuce with 4 corn tortillas. Service was quick. Nice broth and well cooked pork with bones in bowl. I will come back for their tortas and seafood dishes.

Found this place through a recommendation. Tried tacos the first time and it was delicious. Came back for a breakfast burrito and was equally tasty! Friendly service, yummy food and great prices. Will definitely come back!

Taco Tuesday. 4 tacos. $1.99 each. $8.24 total. SAY WHAT?! IN 2024?! A MEAL FOR LESS THAN $10. SAY IT AIN'T SO?! Taco Rico immediately climbed the ranks of my go-to Mexican restaurants. Tucked away next to Jet's Pizza in the Safeway and USPS shopping center. Talk about a hidden gem. When you walk in, the atmosphere is lively. Nice decorations, mostly booths, and loud music. You don't feel like you're in Colorado! You order at the counter, they deliver your food, then you pay at the counter when you're done. I inadvertently came here on Taco Tuesday. Did I want tacos? Yes. But didn't put two and two together. Keep in mind the taco menu is more concise on Tuesdays. I had two carnitas, one pastor and one chicken. They were out of ground beef. Got them loaded all the way with onions and cilantro. The verdict? Fantastic. Meat was tender and juicy. The hot sauces paired extremely well. The tacos themselves tasted fresh. I probably could've downed two more, especially after the gym. But for walking out the door for under $10, there is absolutely nothing to complain about. They boast a large menu with many Mexican specialties. They even serve pupusas, which are El Salvadorian. If the tacos are an indicator for the rest of the menu, I want to try everything! Excellent tacos in Wheat Ridge. Don't sleep on this hole-in-the-wall spot!

Definitely coming back. we all ordered tacos and a side of sopes con chorizo. DELISH. Felt legit and satiated my out of town friends who were hankering for some street tacos.

I give them a Star and they don't deserve it. Well, I ordered two of them for takeout. After 35 minutes they gave them to me. Imagine yourself in SHRIMP broth. Don't let them sub
