“ I thought it was gonna be all hype riding on his brother's name but this place is one I highly recommend for delicious tacos. They had all the meats you would want and all the sauces to go along with it. It's a bit off a wait to get in as expected but there doing there best seating peolpe as soon as its available, once your in service is fast and friendly. Everything is clean and family friendly. I would definitely go again on an off day or order for take out to avoid the wait. The tacos de lengua where mouth watering definitely my favorite. ”
“ Hello there once again I am adding my review for this taqueria El Pastor del Rica which offers great tasting Al pastor meat tacos worth a try if you are visiting Guadalajara, Zapopan area. Known for its owner who is brothers to the famous world champ boxer Canelo Álvarez. Rica, the owner seems very friendly and people seem to ask for pictures with him during their visit. My opinion or review is based only on my experience and I believe there can be a few additions to the additives such as rábanos( radish, and sauteed onions) the salsas were great specially the chipotle sauce for the al pastor yummy . Also the peanut based salsa was yummy, so was the green salsa and all of the salsas. My thoughts are that they can improve on their service The hosts are very friendly however the waiters need to relax and smile . Oh the tortillas could be a bit warmer for me as I actually ordered a large al pastor order. Now I will be going back some time in the near future. If you are looking for a great tasting taco make sure you stop by if you are in the area. ”
