On the Grid : Ricos Tacos Lupe

"Who doesn’t love a good street taco?! Ricos Tacos Lupe is one of the best, serving super tasty tacos for next nothing, especially on Taco Tuesday. The al pastor is a must and the burritos are pretty great too. This place is no frills, classic Mexican street food, the kitchen is actually a food cart built into the building. If you are into #winning, you can try your luck eating piles and piles of tacos, but chances are, the red-bearded man in the poster has you beat. “The Boulevard” is full of Mexican and Central and South American restaurants, everyone has their favorite, but for great foods super cheap, go stand in line at Ricos." - Rachel Sleeter

On the Grid : Ricos Tacos "Lupe"

"You’ve got a craving for authentic street tacos that won’t quit. So heed that call here, where they actually cook on a street cart built into the front wall. Really. Their al pastor pork is a must and at $1.50 apiece ($1 on Tuesdays) you can stuff yourself for next to nothing. In fact, some people get competitive and pictures line the walls of triumphant souls who have consumed incomprehensible numbers of tacos in one sitting. Pro tip: You can BYOB. And use the green salsa liberally. Warning: They should call it “Reekos” because you’ll walk out smelling like a burrito, but you won’t care." - Brent Anderson

Stopped into this gem for lunch and grabbed a carryout order. I ordered inside at the counter and the woman behind the counter was helpful and kind, answered any question I had. I waited about 7 minutes for my carryout order, 3 asada tacos, add onion, with a habanero salsa. This place is fantastic. The tacos were 12/10, delicious. From staff, to seating, all the way to the food, everything was great. I will be coming back!

Hands down some of the best tacos I've ever had! The carnitas and barbacoa tacos were AMAZING! The carne asada went well with the green salsa. Overall, fantastic food at a great price. Extremely recommended! Edit: had the al pastor this time. Delicioso! I think it's pork belly too!

Wednesday morning before we start our route for work... we get a breakfast burrito from the food truck park outside their restaurant. I usually get the steak burrito cause its so amazing and a great way to start my day. If your in the area its worth stopping by. Her tamales are some of the best in town. 🧡 this place

Tacos were good. Service was great but the people who run this place are fantastic. Would come back just for the environment.

Tried to place a pickup order from this place since there is a Thursday discount on the house burrito. Called up and asked if I can make the order online instead of the phone, was asked "Online? You mean like Google?" Also, the website doesn't work. The home and special page links are broken, so to order online you have to use Doordash or some other online platform that charges you more than the normal price (and doesn't have the Thursday discount). Disappointed.

So delish! I had the carne asade tacos it was the best I’ve ever had. Service was quick, and they all seemed friendly. Definitely will be coming back.

I love supporting local small businesses. And it’s even easier to recommend when their food is delicious! Highly recommend coming on Tuesday for discounted tacos! I loved the crane asada and beef cheeks. The pastor was yummy, but the pork was drier than the beef. Complimentary chips and salsa made for a wonderful experience with their fast and direct customer service.

If you are looking for street tacos... this is the place to go. I have been going here for years, and they deliver downtown, which was a hit for me when I used to work down there. Today, I tried the tamales... hands down the best tamales I have ever had.

What can I say about Rico's other than they have the best street tacos in Kansas City. The service is great, the food is fast and delicious. We are addicted.

TL;DR: While the food wasn't bad, there were a few disappointing items, and when you consider the service, price, and ambiance, there are much better Mexican joints all over the KC metro and Southwest Blvd in particular. If you want a recommendation, I love love love San Antonio Carniceria Y Tortilleria. Some friends and I stopped in for some tacos and tamales (not pictured) for dinner, and while most items were good, we weren't sure what to make of the chicken tacos, which tasted like they were seasoned with Indian curry powder (?). We were also disappointed by the tamales, which were mostly masa (tortilla paste) and not enough meat filling. Compared to other taco joints where you can grab your own limes, salsas, and condiments, there weren't enough limes to go around and we had trouble asking for more because the primary servers were two kids who were either busy serving orders or on their phones at the other side of the restaurant. Overall, it was a bit of an unfortunate experience. For the price, I'd still say it was worth it, but it wasn't quite the cool hole-in-the-wall we were expecting.

Kansas City staple for sure! $2 burrito day is now $3.50 and that's still a great deal! Looks like they've expanded the kitchen since I've been last. Looks like you're in Mexico! For cheap and pretty good food this is your place. Not sure if I'll be back, I just wasn't too impressed. My chicken was overly salty. The chips were stale so I didn't eat them. When they asked if everything is Ok I said yeah but these taste a little stale. She took the chips and I thought she would be bringing fresh ones but she did not.

There are not a lot of food places that get 5/5 stars in every category. This restaurant was very clean! Our server was extremely kind, welcoming, while also giving great recommendations. The food... The food deserved that moment of silence just now. It truly had my friend and I in pure bliss. The green salsa was my favorite but the hotter salsa which is the red orange was very good spicy, but greatly flavored.

This restaurant has great service, charming decor and stays pretty busy with take out orders. I had an asada torta that was huge and delicious, it was a bit sloppy to eat but worth it. I got an assorted dozen tamales of pork and chicken to take home too, they told the cheese jalapeno are the most popular - I need to go back and try them. The green salsa that comes with chips when you dine in probably one of my favorite salsas in KC, in a spice wimp so if you like heat it may not be your deal.

The tamales & tacos are a go to for game days. The tamales are cooked to perfection. The carne asada tacos are my favorite. Best street tacos in KCMO.

I'm puzzled by some of the panning.. Best taqueria in KCMO and my favorite salsa in the tristate area . (I've seen people sip it.) Sorry if you didn't like your 'chicken tacos'. Id recommend the tacos pastor and Barbacoa cuz im a grownup

There's not a lot of places I'd willingly walk into that have bars on their windows but this place I would go and risk my life for. This little area is known for traditional Mexican food and it does not ever disappoint. Homemade tortillas, homemade salsas, tamales, everything. I think I could eat a thousand tamales from Rico's. This place is nothing short of amazing. If you're looking for a traditional Mexican restaurant give this a try. Give the whole block a try!

I came here on a Tuesday evening after work. It wasn't packed so I was able to choose my seat by the window. I ordered queso as an appetizer though they did provide complimentary chips and salsa. The chorizo and chicken tacos were excellent. I could've eaten two more of those. I'll certainly return for those again. I didn't like the molida and carne asada tacos though so I probably won't get those again.

We stopped here for lunch. It's a hole in the wall restaurant, nothing fancy. I had street tacos (carnitas, pastor) and they were delicious. My husband had a tamale and two street tacos. The tamale was really good too. It's been awhile since we've been here but we'll coming again. I'm adding it to our rotation. If you like street tacos, you need to check this place out. Best street tacos I've found in the area. Food: 5/5 Facility: 2/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 2/5 Value: 5/5

A delicious little taco joint! Came here for taco tuesday and got the pastor, barbacoa, and carne asada for $1.50 each and a small horchata. I saw that the horchata was highly recommended and they were not wrong! Out of all tacos, my favorite had to be the barbacoa. It was so tender and cooked to perfection. This is a great little place to try

This spot is hands down my FAVORITE taco place in KC. The tacos are packed, made traditionally, and so so so good every single time. Taco Tuesday deal is GREAT as well. Get yourself a horchata... you won't regret it. The interior is full of art and decorations that make you feel at home and the staff is attentive and helpful! Our food always comes out quick whether for takeout or sit down.

Seriously, best place to celebrate Taco Tuesdays!Rico's Taco definitely is a hole in the wall taco joint, but do not let the appearance scare you away. The tacos at their low price are undoubtedly worth it! This taco joint provides chips and salsa and is too good to pass up. The salsas come in squirt bottles but are unique and flavorful! I ordered three veggie tacos that come with black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole served on corn tortillas. Sounds pretty basic right? That's what I thought, but it was delicious! The corn tortillas were soft and warm, and I could seriously eat those alone. On Tuesdays, the tacos are $1. Taco Tuesday the right way! And they are making Burrito Thursdays a thing for $2. Definitely a must try place that is not breaking the bank!

Parking is hell, the fact you push the door even the the handle makes you want to pull can be tough and it can be crowded, BUT it's oh so worth it! The food here is some of the most authentic Mexican food I've ever had. Every bite tastes fresh and delicious, and their spicy red salsa is to die for! If you're ever in the mood for Taco Bell or Panchos the food at Ricos is better, cheaper, and most importantly it's made by people who care about what their product. They've got daily specials but my favorites are $1 tacos on Tuesday and $2 burritos on Thursday. They can get really busy so be sure to call you order in ahead of time if you're going to carry out. Hope you all can fall in love with this place as much as I have!

Went here for the first time with a couple of friends, and it was taco Tuesday. Don't let the outside fool you, once you go inside, you get serve immediately. There just a tiny kitchen where the tacos are made. And it looks like a family owned restaurant. I order 3 tacos, one carnita, one Pollo, and one chirizo. All tacos were delicious and full of flavors. I wanted more but we had a movie to catch. But each bites were just as good as the beginning. Definitely will come back again. Fast food, good service and good food.

I came here with my coworker after 12pm on a Tuesday. It was $1 for tacos on Tuesday and this place was probably packed because of it. Of course, this area sucks when it came to parking so carpool if you can or get lucky and find a spot in front. We were seated almost immediately and took the last available table that I saw. Their menu was simple, but I mostly looked at the taco menu. Each taco at the normal price was $1.50. I ordered two carne asada tacos, two carnitas tacos, two pollo tacos, and two pastor tacos which were the first four items under the taco section on the menu. I don't remember which ones my coworker picked but he also got eight tacos. It took a long time for our food to come out and I think there were a ton of to-go orders that were being cooked. The chips and salsa were not bad but also nothing special. The tacos were all very good to me. The order that I liked them were pollo, carnitas, pastor and carne asada. I was glad that I got two of each because I tried the tacos without any salsa and they were already good as they were; however, it was even better with the salsa whichever you choose. You can't really go wrong with any of those tacos. Glad my coworker told me about this because I would have never known about this place to try before moving back to California. Come check it out!

Taco addiction is real, friends. That simple combo of corn tortillas, carne asada or pastor meat, chopped cilantro and diced onions can completely take over your mind. Luckily for anyone in and around the Crossroads, Ricos Tacos Lupe delivers your fix at just $1.50 per hit.. I mean per taco. These authentic little tacos are worth every penny, bursting with flavor and with three table sauces to doctor them up if you'd like. I tried the pastor and asada which are always my personal favs. These didn't disappoint, although I did have to add on to my original order of three because I was both starving and they were hitting the spot. We also tried out the guac which was awesome as well. As others mention, the place is a hole in the wall, not that there's anything wrong with that. It's not about having cloth napkins and service, it's about getting that taco fix. Prices are right, tacos are delicious, and I'm glad there's a spot that is close enough to get to regularly when those taco cravings strike again.

All I can say is WOW! I had been wanting to try Rico's for some time but hadn't gotten around to it considering there are so many great Mexican places in town. However, I clearly had been missing out. If you like salsa with a little bit of kick, this is your one stop shop. Rico's has half a dozen original salsas, all of which are to die for. My personal favorite was the mango habanero. The first basket of chips were complimentary and any additional basket after that were only $1. So we of course splurged to enjoy the excellent salsa and extra creamy queso. I ordered the the pastor taco and chicken taco; both of which I'll crave until I have the chance to go back. My friend had the steak and chicken. Ricos Taco Lupe has ruined all other street tacos for me. Definitely the BEST in KC.

Rico's Tacos Lupes has the best street tacos in town. The food is fresh, flavorful and the staff is extremely friendly. The house burrito's are also unbelievably good and a great price. I would highly recommend and have been eating here for over 5 years. Give them a Try!

On a taco Tuesday, like most Mexican taco places, this restaurant was packed. But they were vigilant to acknowledge all the waiting customers, check up regularly and ge them seated. 5 stars. The best was yet to come. We ordered a burrito and dollar tacos (special on Tiesdays). The regular price is $1.50 per taco which is the cheapest around. They served proper grilled meat in their tacos as opposed to most high volume places that serve meat that comes out more steamed than grilled. The prices across the menu were on the affordable side. I will keep this place on my lunch radar for further visits.

Ricos Tacos Lupe is another gem on Southwest Blvd that gives you something to taco 'bout. With authentic food and cheap prices, they'll have you coming back time and time again for your taco fix. This place serves you the true definition of authentic street tacos: 2 crispy, warm tortillas, flavorful meat (my favorite are the carne asada, chicken and pastor), onions, and cilantro. This wonderful, yet simple, combination will leave you with a flavor explosion with every bite. While the tacos are tasty, don't let the size fool you. They are small but mighty and filling. On days where I feel ballsy, I order 5 tacos only to end up in a 2 hour food coma after! Not only is the food good, but the prices get me even more excited! $1 taco Tuesdays and $2 burrito Thursdays will certainly leave your stomach (and wallet) full. All in all, a great Mexican food joint with great deals. You can't go wrong with their tacos here!

One of my go-to places for burritos in KC! I am a big fan of their veggie burrito and going there on Thursdays has become a tradition for me and my friends! Their burritos on Thursdays are $2 and if you dine in they have wonderfully crisp, warm, freshly-fried tortilla chips. I am personally also a huge fan of their variety of salsas (My favorite is the pineapple jalapeño which has an amazing mix of sweet and spicy flavor)! On tuesdays, they have $1 tacos which are also great though I personally prefer the burritos. The place itself is casual, with reasonably paced service. It can get busy and take a bit to get your order (for both dine-in and takeout) during the evening hours. However, I have never felt rushed by the staff while eating here. The food is all cooked in the front of restaurant and between the sound of the grill sizzling and hot food coming out of the "kitchen" area, you always feel like you are getting authentic food. Don't be fooled by the appearance of the place from the outside - it's definitely worth the trip inside!

Every time, without fail, you can find me having 4 chicken street tacos at Rico's. And I especially can't pass them up when Taco Tuesday rolls around with $1 tacos. The chicken is the most flavorful I have found in the KC area. The rest of the street taco is your average 2 corn tortillas and onion and cilantro. What I enjoy about the tortillas here is that they are slightly crispy from the grill which I haven't found at any other taco place I have tried. However, the crispiness is not always consistent; on my visit today 1 of the 5 tacos was quite soft while the others had a pleasant crunch on the outer edges. Probably the biggest issue I have with Rico's is the portion size. The amount of meat is quite small but the flavor more than makes up for how little there is. The portion size also doesn't change when it's Taco Tuesday which makes the $1 tacos more than worth it. Service is not the most attentive, but food comes out fast and the staff is very friendly. They also don't have the best hours, closing at 3pm on certain weekdays, which is disappointing when I need a quick taco fix.

Honestly one of the best authentic mexican food joints in the entire city. On Thursday's the house burrito is $2.50 and I always get it with cheese on top for a dollar more. I get 2-4 burritos to eat the next day for lunch because the burrito is so delicious. My only issue is the guacamole really isn't the best- too lime flavored and not enough avocado. Overall, I come here at least once a week and highly recommend.

Super divey place, excellent street tacos. Folks, we may have found the street taco Mecca in KC. You would be hard pressed to find any in the city that are better than these. At just $1 each on taco Tuesday, they are a steal. The place is BYOB, so if you are wanting an adult beverage, make sure you stop at a liquor store on the way, or bring one with you from home.

I found myself up in the city a couple weeks ago during midday and texted a friend who worked near there to see if he was free for lunch. He asked where I wanted to go and I told him to choose... hence, my first visit to Ricos Tacos Lupe! Parking was difficult, and that would likely always be the case... you'd need to see the vicinity for that to make sense, but the options are pretty limited onsite... I'm sure it would be even more so at a high traffic hour. That being said, I have only positive things to say about my experience at Rico's. Our server was pretty reserved, but attentive. My order was exactly what I expected, and it was delicious! (Steak quesadilla and 2 small tacos; one w/carnitas and one w/al pastor). The whole meal was inexpensive and tasty... a great combination. My wife and I are transplanted Texans and we love good Tex Mex, but this place isn't that... It's authentic Mexican food in its purest form. Nothing fancy. No pretense. Just good food at a great price. If you're feeling adventurous, make the trek to Ricos. Oh-- and you might want to carry along a shirt for later. When I got back to my office, my boss said "You smell like a burrito" to which I happily replied, "Uh... it was a taco, and it was amazing." ;-)

Completely forgetting that it was a Tuesday, we stumbled into Ricos Tacos Lupe eager to try some delicious tacos. The best part is tacos are $1 each on Tuesdays. The exterior and interior of the restaurant are very simple. Service is quick and efficient. They know how to keep a busy restaurant moving, which meant we didn't have to wait too long to be seated. We ended up ordering queso and chips, two asada, two chicken, two shredded ribs, and a Mexican sausage and marinated pork. The chips and queso arrived quickly. I loved the flavours of the queso, which was sweeter than I'd had before. There was also three kinds of salsa on the table, which we helped ourselves to. A small station to the side of the room had pickled jalapeños and some other sauce on it. Ten minutes later, our tacos arrived. Each taco was delicious, although I feel like the flavours could have been more pronounced in all the meats. I definitely recommend eating here. The value and quality are hard to beat!

Ok yea so I think every one has already said it but this place is great. Crispy, tasty meat, cilantro, onions on a corn tortilla . Came in for taco Tuesday and understandably there was a line so be prepared for that. Just all around a great taco place! Rice and beans were awesome too!

So, I had a taste for tacos and on a Tuesday in midtown the options are endless. I wanted to try a new place and after reading some reviews decided to give Ricos a try. Understanding it was Taco Tuesday, I decided to go later to not be in the prime lunch hour. I arrived at the restaurant just after 1:30 pm and waited for nearly 10 minutes before even being acknowledged by anyone even though several waitresses and the hostess walked by me several times. Since I was now nearly 30 minutes into my lunch hour after battling parking and waiting, I decided to order steak nachos and a carnitas taco to go. The taco was tiny. The carnitas was overcooked, hard and crunchy. I love nachos so I was hoping for better luck but was quickly disappointed. The cheese sauce was very strange and tasted like a ranch dressing that has cream added to it. There was also a strange yellow cheese substance that was a cross between real cheese and cheese whiz. The steak was actually good but overall the visit was disappointing. I ended up throwing most of the food out and will stick with one of the other options on the Blvd. for my next Taco Tuesday.

Would have given it 3.5 stars... I had the steak and chicken tacos here with cilantro and pico and they were very good! Rico's is a cool little hole in the wall on Southwest Blvd but they need more staffing. 2 people waiting tables, taking orders, and running the phones and 1 person manning the grill just isn't enough when this place gets poppin! I'd go back - as long as it looked dead inside...

Chicken tacos. Well marinated and crispy too! The tacos are what you expect with any authentic street taco: 2 crispy tortillas, well-marinated meat, cilantro and onions. On taco Tuesday's they cost 1.00 and on regular days 1.50. Sometimes the quantity on each taco varies depending on how busy they are. However, you can expect the quality to be the same every single time! The seating area gives a nice, friendly, family vibe. Seating is usually pretty quick regardless of how busy they are. Perfect for small and big groups. When you're seated, you're served with a bowl of tortilla chips that you can eat with the various sauces they have: salsa, spicy green/red sauce, even extra spicy. Food is served generally quick (~10min after you order). They take call-in orders for to-go. If you ever have a chance to come down to Southwest Blvd, stop by Ricos for a quick fix of street tacos! Of course they have other foods like burritos and tortas which both have special pricing on Thursdays and Fridays respectively. I highly recommend this place!
