Review from Reed A.

I recently stopped here with a friend on our way through Fresno after a long backpacking trip in Kings Canyon National Park. We both live in the Bay Area and had never seen such a good deal on tacos: two for $1.25. The quality matched the prices; Al Rico serves some of the best tacos I've ever had, and we ended up sharing twelve of them. The horchatas were also huge and delicious, especially on a hot central valley afternoon. The downside (for some) is that the place is a real hole in the wall and the bathroom is one of the worst I've seen at a restaurant. They are not catering to a yuppie crowd and I hope it stays that way. Al Rico is a real gem. Next time I'm in Fresno I will definitely stop by.

An absolute must if you're looking for quick, delicious and cheap. This place is the epitome of "hole in the wall" Mexican food. But the tacos are spectacular. Last time I was there they were selling them for 75 cents each. They are a bargain, so order 4 for yourself. We eat here every time we're in Fresno.
Let me add something. If you're looking for a trendy upscale hip taco place this is NOT it. This is the epitome of "hole in the wall" dining. So if you turn your nose up at "ugly" restaurants then don't go here. But for those of us who know what good mexican food tastes like, and could care less about how the restaurant looks, this is it. Oh... and there are only park benches outside to sit on, so don't come all dressed up.
UPDATE:
Al's Ricos Tacos are closed up. Closed shop, finished, kaput, gone... Now what? Well... since they no longer exist, I've dropped their Rating from a 5 star must visit to a 1 star, don't bother. But there is good news. Lola's Rico Tacos is just up the street.
Lola was the cook at Al's Ricos Tacos 1, until she bought the place and turned it into Lola's Rico Tacos. THIS is now the best taco shack on the planet. Check out the reviews here:

Sad to report Al passed away on December 31, 2010. But his brother Art still carries on the Al Ricos name in a hole in the wall at the Northwest corner of Marks & Ashlan. Same great, yummy tacos at a bargain price (2 for $1.25). Thank You Art for continuing your family's business.

This place has great tacos. They are normally pretty busy but they are quick to get your order. Cheap food and awful yummy to boot.

I love the tacos here. They're cheap and quick even when they're busy. It's a small place only a few tables outside. There's a drive-thru and a big pariking lot. Great place for a quick bite.
