Taco Rico (Revisited)

Chorizo taco

This was my third time visiting this place.  I did a write-up on them some time ago.  My main gripe about this place are the prices.  It costs between 4,500 to 5,500 for ONE stinking taco.  I know property value in Gangnam is ridiculous, but come on!  This is essentially a deal-breaker for my broke/cheap ass.  Also, the burritos here are REALLY small and skinny.  I could definitely see myself eating here a lot more if it was a bit cheaper.  Fortunately, someone else paid for me on this day.

Pork taco

Anyways, for this particular visit we ordered a pork taco, a chorizo taco, and the chili cheese nachos.  I ate both tacos and a good amount of the nachos as well.  The only other place I’ve had chorizo was at Los Amigos and their chorizo looked and tasted like fucking sliced hot dogs.  I’ve never had chorizo in the states and this is what I imagine proper chorizo would taste like.   It’s delicious.  It’s chewy and peppery and it doesn’t taste like any other sausage I’ve had in Korea.  I would say that this is the real reason to come here.  They make chorizo burritos and quesadillas as well.

Chili cheese nachos

The chili cheese nachos were served with a very bean-heavy chili that was light on the meat (if they used any at all).  They did totally hook it up with the cheese sauce though.  We had to ask for more chips (which were provided free of charge) to scoop up the rest.  There were also a few random slices of carrots in there, which I found to be kinda odd and out of place.

These sauces are good, but the tacos are well seasoned and taste just fine without em

    Hey man, you can buy chorizo at any of the foreign or fancy grocery stores in Itaewon. Taco Rico’s prices for tacos are ridiculous! Also, I’d recommend these guys: http://gringoskorea.yolasite.com/ They ship frozen burritos to your house, and they have a chorizo breakfast one. I usually get 12 at a time and split with a friend for the cheaper deal.
