El Taco Rico Restaurant

When you first walk in this restaurant it smells like they have plumbing problems.
However I chumped it up to it being an older place.
I ordered the taco plate with rice and beans 2 steak and chicken tacos.
One look at the beans, I could tell something was off bc they were extremely watery.
The steak( or should I say beef) as well as the chicken was tasteless.
I could not even swallow the food bc it tasted like expired food mixed with new food.
Total cross contamination.
Therefore I threw the entire plate in the 711 trash can down the street.
They should be shut down.
I don't even understand who is giving this restaurant a passing Grade.
Clearly fake reviews.
I don't even think they deserve a 1 honestly..

I did not visit this place yesterday, but a long time ago,our friend and her brother brought some street tacos.
They didn't have any taste to them! And from what I read about the negative reviews about this place, I read that the place seems a little unhygienic--there were roaches there, somebody got sick, the owner is not friendly--I don't want to go to a place where I'm not welcomed-and I don't want to eat their food if it doesn't have any taste, or is not any good!! So I didn't visit this place recently.

I gave 3 stars and here is why Customer Greeting 4* Employee Cleanliness 5* Restaurant Cleanliness & Appearance 2* Food Presentation 5* Ordering Accomodations 5* Food serving speed 5* Food Flavoring 2* Overall Taste 2* Cost 2* Beverage Options 2* Upon arrival I was promptly greeted, I was the only customer at the time.
The employee wasn't interested in small talk since he was the only one working.
I came in during breakfast hours and was able to order lunch at this time as well.
I chose the Enchiladas Verde with rice and beans.
Taco Rico doesn't offer fountain drinks which I didn't realize until after I ordered my food. While waiting for my food and observing the restaurant I noticed that the employee was constantly keeping his hands clean which is good since he licks his fingers to grab plastic to go bags.
Additionally while I was waiting other employees arrived and both washed thier hands before making food preparations.
The restaurant however doesn't appear as clean.
The walls are missing paint and are extremely dirty with food and beverage still embedded on them. After getting my food I was surprised to see a good portion of food.
I cut into the enchiladas and was unexpectedly disappointed.
There was absolutely no flavor to the chicken.
It's like they were boiled and that's it.
The only flavor came from the Verde sauce and it was quite spicy to say the least.
I've had lots of Verde sauce and this was my first experience with spicy sauce.
It's usually a rather sweet sauce with low heat.
This was completely opposite, lots of heat and low sweet.
Not saying it was bad as I like spicy, but unexpected.
The rice had a hint chocolate flavor that I'm guessing is coming from the peas.
The beans weren't anything to speak of just regular in my opinion. Overall I think it's just regular ole Mexican food, nothing sets this food apart from the others that makes it great other than it's the only Mexican Restaurant in close proximity to Discount.
