I stopped in to get take-away a few weeks ago, and they kept trying to microwave my takeout - IN the styrofoam containers!!

I kept having to stop them, it completely freaked me out, using styro is bad enough, but not knowing not to microwave/melt it leaves me wondering what else they're doing.

This place has amazing potential, but the microwave has GOT to go and they need to be conscious of what their customers are saying.

I'll go back to give them a 2nd try in the hopes they make a few changes.

I spent a lot of years in Los Angeles and ate at many a Mexican friends home where their mothers cooked some of the best mexican food that I ever tasted. Most of these friends were immigrants from Mexico so I am assuming that what they ate was what they eat in Mexico.

Anyways, Tacos Mexico Rico should be ashamed of calling itself Mexican, I dont know what part of Mexico they are from but they are not ANYTHING like my friends mom's food. Their food sucks so much that I think I would prefer having Taco Bell rather than go there again. The service is horrible, the ladies there think they are doing you a favor by giving out the food instead of serving. The beans are so watery that it makes me wonder if thats their way to save on the bean budget.

Here is the thing that pisses me off: THEY STICK THE FOOD IN THE MICROWAVE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. I am sorry I have eaten at enough Mexican places in Los Angeles and have never ever seen my food go into the microwave. In case you're wondering I have walked through many a kitchen as some of those we had to walk in via the backdoor (hole in the wall joints in Whittier) and none had a microwave.

Go to Salsa and Agave a few blocks away instead if you want Mexican food. For the price and quality their food is a lot better and so is the service. Maybe they microwave their food too but for some reason it bothers me to have someone microwave my food at a restaurant right in front of me. I am one of those people that dont like microwaved food, not because of radiation or crap like that, but I feel that it dries up the food, especially the tortillas which are ruined by it.

Try eating Microwaved tortillas if you want to know what I mean, its like having a microwaved rubber steak.

An former coworker from Mexico told me the most authentic Mexican is Tacos Mexico Rico. I happened to be d/t and decided to drop in.

The restaurant is very clean and spacious definitely not a hole in a wall. I was greeted by a very kind lady. I ordered the beef enchilada. It came with complimentary chips and salsa. There should have been more chips and the salsa certainly gave a kick to the tastebuds. Some people might find the salsa too spicy but it was fine with me.

The enchilada with rice was excellent, the sauce was savory and mild and tender chunks of beef was tender.

The full meal with a can of soda was less than $11. A great value. As I as stepping out, a person was checking out the menu posted on the window. I told him the food was excellent. He took my advice.

Terrible service, food made us sick and tasted microwaved. Not very authentic. The ambiance was a mexican soap opera on the small t.v that hung above us. Chips were broken end of the bag pieces and their sauces were cheap out of the bottle sauces. Would never go again.
