Rico's Taco Shop Review (Encinitas Restaurants)


Pricing:
Hole-in-the-wall Mexican dining experience.  $4-6 burritos.  The combinations range from $5-9.

Distance:
An Encinitas restaurant.  Right by the El Camino Real/Encinitas Blvd. intersection.  In the LA Fittness (the old Target if you've lived here for as long as I have) shopping area.

Thoughts:
If you live in Encinitas, dive Mexican food is probably a staple part of your diet.  Life really can't get much better than eating a California burrito on the beach.  And, if you've lived in Encinitas for more than a year, you've probably been to Rico's.  More than once.  If you haven't: go now.

There are a multitude of burrito places to choose from around here, but I think Rico's is one of the best.  It's fantastic Mexican food run by Greeks.  How can you go wrong?  They have just about every combination of beans, rice, cheese and meat you can possibly think of.  And if they don't have it, you're welcome to ask for your own custom order.  Rico's also does breakfast starting at 7am.  They serve a pretty mean breakfast burrito.

In my years of going to Rico's I have seen people walk in wearing swimsuits and I have seen homecoming parties exit a limo to dine at this fine establishment.  A landmark to Encinitas cuisine, this restaurant is packed with both flavor and charm.
