Every Tuesday is Taco Night at Ricon Tarasco. That means tacos are only $1.25 each. Your choices are chicken, Steak (carne Asada), Shredded Pork slow cooked and marinated Cochinito Pibil), and Al Pastor (also marinated, but in different spices and not slow cooked).

Tacos Al Pastor has been my favorite for years, until I tried Cochinita Pibil, now it is a toss-up.  The pastor is a little spicier, but the Cochinita is more tender and has a hint of orange to it. Cochinita comes from the Yucatan region of Mexico and is marinated in sour orange juice and achiote.

I use to have to drive to SouthWest Blvd. or Independence Ave. to get Mexican food this authentic.  It is a little milder than I am use to but they can offer you a large variety of salsa if you feel the need to punch it up a notch or two.

The restaurant is located on the South West corner of Raytown Road and 350 Highway. Just South of the grocery store. They offer carry out and the phone number is 886-5444.
