What a nightmare! So I thought I'd try this place out, and order a vegetarian burrito to go (no sour cream, no lettuce, add guacamole). Sounds simple enough, right? Then I get home and took a few...

Walk up the hill to Carmelas for delicious Mexican. More mediocre Mexican food found here, not horrible, just basic and somewhat boring.

Great, authentic Mexican food. Reasonable prices. Nice people. Not the greatest atmosphere, however. It's not really a "date" kind of place, more of a "get your grub on" place. It's very busy at...

I used to come here quite often in my dorm days for cheap, simple and tasty chicken tacos. Now, if I'm not mistaken, the prices have gone up a little bit, and I'm more willing to cook my own food to...

Yes, finally some good Mexican food. Great service, good chips, and tasty salsas. These people know what Mexican food is and ain't frontin' like some other spots including a few taco trucks. The menu...

For the price, you can get no better...Take it from me, and I'm FROM New New Mexico and spent a decade in San Francisco's Mission area. This place isn't nearly like either of those locations, but if...

I like it. Granted all I ever get are the veggie burritos or veggie chimichanga as I don't eat meat, but I've never been disappointed. With my student discount I get a huge chimichanga for a little...

Like Onions? Like cilantro? Like Hot Sauce? Then this is the place for you. Its a small place in a little strip mall in Safeways parking lot. The food is great and the cost is even better.

Please forgive my NorCal brethren! They have a very forgiving palate when it comes to Mexican food. I only eat here when I'm super-tired and desperate: it's mediocre American-style Mexican food, but...

I'm sure that great Mexican food probably comes right to your mind when you think of the North Coast, right? Rico's has some seriously good food at dirt cheap prices. The burritos and tacos are...

As far as Humboldt County goes, this is one of the best places to get authentic Mexican/Taqueria style food. Their beef is delicious, tacos are excellent, burritos are ok, service very friendly. Very...

Decent burritos (just don't get the fish... frozen breaded nastiness, ewww), good tacos, disappointing nachos. Good prices, though.

5 stars is a bold statement, I know. But hey it's worth it. I would drive 350 miles to get these damn tacos any day. Katelin H. may have said it best, "Tacos = life" You will never forget about them....

Two small corn tortillas smothered in barbacoa beef, onions, cilantro, and Rico's secret salsa. 3 bites - and just like that, it's gone. Now your eyes are tearing, your nose is running, your sinuses...
