Rico's Tacos

If you’re shopping at El Morelia and your stomach starts growling, skip the chips and head straight to Rico’s Tacos tucked inside the store.

The beef was well-seasoned, tender, and packed tight with rice, lettuce, and cheese. Nothing soggy or bland—each bite had balance. The tortilla was warm, the foil wrap tight, and the ingredients fresh. It tasted like something made by someone who knows their way around a taquería grill.

California Burrito with Chicken was incredibly tasty, big enough to share with someone. The Carne Asada Fries are also super tasty. We will be back to try the other items on the menu along with the weekday special. Pineapple Aqua Fresca is perfect!!!!

The food here is so good. The portion sizes are massive, and everything I've eaten here had been delicious. I recommend the carne asada fries, burrito, flautas, and aqua frescas. This place has become a staple for lunch. Come check it out!

FIVE BIG BOOMS FOR RICOS TACOS BOOM💥BOOM💪BOOM💥BOOM💪BOOM Undeniably the best Mexican food you're going to find in St. Louis. Located inside the El Morelia Supermarket, Rico's Tacos is the rarest amongst hidden gems. FOOD: - Cooked fresh in front of you. Birria, carne asada, horchata, all the Mexican staples. SERVICE - Warm and welcoming. Excellent around the board. Shoutout Rico for his hospitality. ATMOSPHERE - Love listening to the Mexican tunes playing in the background Rico's Tacos not only holds its ground against the likes of Tacos el Gordo and the other countless Mexican Resturants I tried in Southern California and Texas, but the Food, Service, and Atmosphere makes it without doubt one of the best I've ever had.

We were so excited to try this place after hearing so much about its authenticity! The quality and service were excellent! The menu includes appetizers, chilaquiles, burritos, empanadas, tacos, and non-alcoholic drinks. No rice, fajitas, or seafood is available. The tacos and carne asada fries were delicious! Super quick service! Be aware that the closing time is 7 p.m. earlier than the store closing time. There is a separate food bar (carryout) but that's part of the store
