EL TACO RICO – Mexican
Taco Rico Tex-Mex Café has anchored South Dixie Highway in Coral Gables since 1992, a Tex-Mex institution built for regulars who know the order before they sit down. Sizzling fajitas remain the signature, brought out steak-and-chicken with the pan still hissing, alongside a Tex Mex burrito, birria tacos, and loaded tacos piled well past the tortilla's edge. Chimichangas and a Baja bowl round out the heavier plates. A basket of chips lands automatically, backed by a salsa bar stocked with house-made varieties. Diners keep coming back for the lunch specials and the consistency, a menu barely changed in three decades.
