Taqueria Rico is a Mexican taco restaurant in the heart of Antwerp. Since opening in late 2024, it has positioned itself as a fast-casual spot focused on authentic Mexican street food, with an emphasis on tacos prepared on handcrafted tortillas and complemented by side dishes, desserts and a small cocktail list.
The menu draws inspiration from Mexico City classics such as al pastor, alongside vegetarian and other variations, and uses fresh ingredients with traditional flavours. The interior combines a modern, informal design with a relaxed atmosphere, and the restaurant also offers outdoor seating and options like takeaway and delivery through partners.
While its core focus remains Mexican tacos and related street-food elements, the restaurant rounds out its offering with drinks and desserts that reflect its broader culinary theme.

Em’s star rating
Taqueria Rico is a great place to go when you’re craving honest, bold Mexican flavours without any fuss. The focus is clearly on tacos, served on handmade tortillas and filled with options like al pastor, suadero beef and gringa-style tacos with melted cheese, all well-balanced and generously topped. I absolutely loved the tacos and will definitely be returning here soon.
Fun fact
The team behind Taqueria Rico hand-makes their tortillas from scratch every day. A time-intensive process that they say is essential to giving the tacos their authentic Mexico City street-food character.
