El Taco Rico Restaurant

"Gotta fry your tenders crispy, or they will be raw!!! Please listen to me cook crispy. Good fries and Arnold palmer"

"Waited a while before someone helped us but aside from that very good chilaquiles are actually some of the best I’ve had at a restaurant taste very authentic"

"First time there in Denton. Food is delicious and hot. Customer service is great. Atmosphere warm and inviting. Recommend this place for some good Mexican food."

The employee wasn't interested in small talk since he was the only one working. I came in during breakfast hours and was able to order lunch at this time as well. I chose the Enchiladas Verde with rice and beans. Taco Rico doesn't offer fountain drinks which I didn't realize until after I ordered my food. While waiting for my food and observing the restaurant I noticed that the employee was constantly keeping his hands clean which is good since he licks his fingers to grab plastic to go bags. Additionally while I was waiting other employees arrived and both washed thier hands before making food preparations. The restaurant however doesn't appear as clean. The walls are missing paint and are extremely dirty with food and beverage still embedded on them. After getting my food I was surprised to see a good portion of food. I cut into the enchiladas and was unexpectedly disappointed. There was absolutely no flavor to the chicken. It's like they were boiled and that's it. The only flavor came from the Verde sauce and it was quite spicy to say the least. I've had lots of Verde sauce and this was my first experience with spicy sauce. It's usually a rather sweet sauce with low heat. This was completely opposite, lots of heat and low sweet. Not saying it was bad as I like spicy, but unexpected. The rice had a hint chocolate flavor that I'm guessing is coming from the peas. The beans weren't anything to speak of just regular in my opinion. Overall I think it's just regular ole Mexican food, nothing sets this food apart from the others that makes it great other than it's the only Mexican Restaurant in close proximity to Discount."

"I just stop by over here after reading the review of other people.. I came in to have some street tacos... The guy behind the counter was not that friendly and when I ordered he didn't even asked if you wanted it on corn tortilla or flour tortillas?.I got two tacos at first to try it, how's the taste was going to be, before I spend more money in it.well, the taco was good but a little greasy and the salsa verde was a watery..u can not taste any spice of Salsa. so this is what you see in the pic.. I have the taco, cilantros, onions and the salsa on top of it."
