“ Absolutely Excellent!!!! I have been dying to try the Barria Tacos and Riko’s did not disappoint!! I loved everything (the tacos, sauce, beans and rice). I will definitely return to try the chicken version. ”
“ I ordered mixed Fajitas with fries and they were fire! Tell them you want the Rob special it’s with fries just kidding. But this place is a solid 9 1/2 out of 10 on the fajitas. ”
“ Let me start by saying that I LOVE, not like, LOVE good Mexican food. I discovered this place last week...had it 3 times. I had the steak torta (replaced sour cream with mayo) and the chicken tacos. The torta bun is grilled ever so slightly that the top of the bun is toasted while the inside is soft. Absolutely outstanding. The chicken tacos are. I would recommend sitting down and eating. the tacos are better fresh off the grill...more bang for the buck. Quick service, friendly staff. I give this place ”
“ This small, local business has great authentic Mexican food. The newest additions to their menu are seafood options. And though the prices are higher for those platters, the serving portions are huge and the quality is great, making the price very understandable. The stuffed pineapple was amazing! A bit on the spicier side, if that's something you're worried about. Overall this is a great spot to go to for some great Mexican food, and you're also supporting a small business. Wins all around. ”
“ Went here with my partner for the first time, and we'll definitely be coming back! Staff was super friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious. Would recommend for anyone looking to eat some yummy food! ”
“ I'm just mad I didn't discover this place sooner. One of the best taco places in the heights. The pastor was on point and the asada was well seasoned, tender and not fatty or full of gristle. Today I tried the quesobirria. Meat was tender and the consume was rich. Next is civeche. Give it a try. ”
“ The food was so good it made me rethink my decision to buy Taco Bell. The food took 8 minutes after i sat down to get to me. The entire atmosphere was just a vibe. This is why we love family runned businesses. They always do it to perfection. ”
“ Amazing service. Great waitresses and authentic food. What else could you ask for ”
