What to Order at Taco Riko

The tacos are the star of the show here. Soft corn tortillas are loaded with your choice of meat—carne asada, pollo (chicken), chorizo, or al pastor—then topped with fresh onions and cilantro. Reviews consistently praise the freshness and flavor, with locals calling them perfect every time.

But don't sleep on the rest of the menu. The burritos are stuffed with rice, beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese, and your choice of protein, all wrapped in a 12-inch flour tortilla. If you're feeding a crowd, the Riko Special Plate is a standout: a whole chicken served with rice, beans, salad, ten tortillas, and both mango habanero and teriyaki sauces.

Taco Riko also serves pupusas—handmade Salvadoran corn tortillas stuffed with chicharrón, chicken and cheese, beans and cheese, or cheese only—plus quesadillas, tamales, and aguas frescas in hibiscus, sweet rice, or tamarind flavors. It's the kind of variety that keeps regulars coming back to try something new.
