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!!!!
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. You’ll spot the counter by the crowd—it’s where everyone’s waiting for their burrito fix. The burrito I ordered was massive, easily a meal and a half. 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. The vibe is casual—red tables, foil-wrapped food, people talking across aisles, and the hum of the grocery store in the background. It’s not fancy, but it’s the kind of spot that reminds you flavor matters more than presentation. Highlights: • Generous portions (you’ll probably need a fork halfway through) • Real flavor, not fast-food seasoning • Affordable prices—good value for how much food you get • Quick service even when it’s busy Downside: Seating is limited, and the line can get long around lunch. But the wait’s worth it. Verdict: Rico’s Tacos is the hidden gem of El Morelia—great food, no fuss, and serious satisfaction.
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!
