Taco Rico (Miami)

Taste: ***
Cost: $

Update:

I realized why the food isn't great, I haven't been adding the spinach sauce. The food is good now.

Its all a bit too greasy and just not fresh tasting enough. I had the Chimichanga, Fajita and Taco all to unimpressive results. I'm a forgiving person, especially if the food is cheap... but the food shouldn't have to taste cheap. The Chimichanga was soaked through the paper with oil and just left a bad taste in my mouth after eating. I then moved onto the Fajita, thinking that the peppers would lighten things up... wrong. Just bland and mushy veggies inside. The Taco's shell disintegrated in my hands while eating... Not very good at all... go across the street to Chipotle or something...

This place originally started as Roberto's Taco Stand, and I stumbled upon it late at night (open 24) on my moped. When it was Roberto's the food was great! Coming back after 4 years, its not under new ownership but its almost the same. The big star here is the Chimichanga. Its still absolutely delicious. A burrito, extra cheese, refried beans, carne asada, guacamole, and some veggies then deep fried... The Chimichanga is a 3 star, but everything else is just ok. I think back when it was Roberto's everything was just a tad more tastier but maybe my palate has evolved. If you're around town and looking for a late night snack, definitely worth a try!
