The food at Taco Rico

What I like about the food is that it tastes refreshing. The iceberg lettuce and shredded cheese add a light but comforting flavor to the meal.

If you're like me and can't always handle tacos overloaded with spice, these taste lighter and less greasy, but you can still turn up the heat with plenty of sauces at the bar.

After you order, a friendly team member hands you delicious tortilla chips. Here's one of the tacos I ordered:

After enjoying my snack, I stepped to the front to place another order.

What Port St. Lucie says

It’s not just me who likes the restaurant.

So far, the Tradition and PSL community love the spot.

With a 4.7-star rating on Google, customers praise the clean restaurant, service, and food. One guest, Troy Sanchez, shared his appreciation for the 3-taco combo: “I loved it! Also a great price for lunch!”

What you might miss, but can’t

Another underrated part of the Taco Rico menu is the fresh juices at the counter.

I tried both the maracuyá (passion fruit) and mango. They tasted natural, like thick néctar, and had the perfect balance of sweetness.

About Taco Rico

Taco Rico isn’t new. It’s a small franchise in the Miami area with locations in Brickell, Coral Gables, and Miami Beach. Thankfully, we didn’t need to wait for it to grow in Broward and Palm Beach first–it’s right in our backyards.

If you haven’t tried the restaurant, I highly recommend it–especially on a lazy Sunday with friends and a round of maracuyás.
