They are now open in the old La Costa, and even older Pario's, location off Mountain Creek Rd. This establishment is a spin off off Taco Rico on Main St.
They have most everything offered at Taco Rico with several additions. The obvious addition are the empanadas, these are pastries with fillings such as cheese, cheese and shrimp, cheese and chicken etc. then deep fried. We shared a cheese and a cheese and shrimp, both were very good and freshly prepared.
Other additions to the menu include salads and entree plates with beans, sometimes black beans, and rice. A dish I look forward to trying was rice with chicken, sausage, shrimp and ham. There are a couple of similar items on the menu, arroz con this or that.
The balance of our meal were dishes we've had at Taco Rico; chicken tamales, tacos and papusas, all were of the excellent quality we have had at Taco Rico.
Our server was definitely non-Hispanic, if he is on duty, which it sounds like he mostly is, no-one will have a communication problem. The kitchen staff, happily, seems very Hispanic.
Perhaps the best addition is that they serve beer. The selection is minimal right now, but they are very interested in offering a wider variety of beers, both Mexican and American craft-brewed.
