Ricochet Tacos

Eclectic, nice bar atmosphere with fun murals and other artwork. Friendly attentive staff. We had a steak taco and a buffalo chicken taco = delicious. But what you really have to have while you are there is the mac & cheese, brisket nachos. Portions are very generous. Nice diverse cocktail list. Will definitely be back!

We love everything here from the drinks all the way down to the tacos! They sell empanadas on the weekend and they are delicious! Don’t miss out if you happen to be there during the weekend.

The tacos at this restaurant are the absolute best I have ever had. The awesome thing is any taco can be made vegetarian by substituting the meat for Potatoes or Cauliflower. Each taco has so much depth in flavours. My favorites were The Crosshairs and No Country For Old Men, both substituting the meat for Cauliflowers.

Ricochet Tacos has amazing tacos. One of the best tacos I have had. The menu is well thought out and is flexible for vegetarians/vegans. The service is super quick. My favourite was the taters gonna tate. Vegetarian substitutes available are cauliflower, avocado and potatoes. The flavour of each taco is really good. Portion size of one taco is good, one person can easily have 3 tacos considering mine was vegetarian. The tres leches were delicious. A definite come back place. 👍🏼

Went here on a Sunday afternoon. Loved every bit of my experience! Food was delicious. Atmosphere was cozy and the music was on point. Service was great and they really knew what they were talking about when I asked questions about the menu! New favorite! Got the passion fruit mimosa and it was amazing!!!

Stopped here on a whim to grab lunch after attending the Farmer’s Market. Ricochet Tacos did not disappoint. The historic interior has a “pop culture” vibe that makes the place interesting and comfortable to visit. However, the food is what makes Ricochet Tacos a gem of Valparaiso’s downtown area. All the food is made to order and can be customized to your particular tastes. Our server was more than helpful in explaining the menu and the difference between the two we were given. For starters, we ordered the guacamole and chips. The guacamole tasted fresh with an excellent blends of spices (some other guacamole’s can have too much garlic or limes) and the chips seemed freshly made with just a hint of salt. Plus, you get more than enough chips. Perfect appetizer to start off the meal. For entrees I ordered the Uncle Rico burrito (minus the beans) and my wife ordered Handle Bar burrito. (Yes, we went to a taco place and ordered burritos-don’t judge us) Mine was done to perfection with a creamy egg, crispy tortillas and a wonderful bleak of sausage, sauce, cheese and spices. I cannot overemphasized how important blending of tastes and spices are to me. Some other places give you a plate of one flavor, be it salsa, heat, guacamole or just sour cream. Ricochet Tacos does not do that. I enjoyed my entree from the first bit to the last. I did taste my wife’s entree as well. Very tasty and well seasoned. The skirt steak filling was tender and flavorful and the rice was well cooked and seasoned perfect. The only downside of the Handle Bar was the cilantro. A bit too much for our liking, but it does scrape off easily. The portions are perfect to a ‘good eater’ like myself. In addition, the prices are pretty good. Maybe out of the range of a struggling college student for everyday eating, but well worth a splurge once in a while. Our bill, which had no drinks from the bar, with tax and a good (20%) tip was $40. We highly recommend Ricochet Tacos if you’re in the area.

Ever since moving out this way we have been DYING for a new chips and cheese place. I love the banana peppers in the queso and the tacos were packed with flavor! Will be back often!

Awesome place to give your taste buds a trip to flavor town!! These are not your traditional tacos. It’s a combination of ingredients that pleasantly dance in your mouth. Don’t change a thing on a taco and be pleasantly surprised!!!
