Tuesday is my favorite day @ LA Super
Rica - that's the day Sopas are the especial of the day.... YUM and double yum...
All food is a la carte - so when you order from the regular menu - think family style and get several dishes so you can try a little bit of everything. Fabulous marinated pork !
Don't be surprised - Super Rica doesn't serve chips - but they make a killer guacamole and the hand made tortillas are perfect for dipping.…
overhyped and overrated.
After hearing and reading about how great the food is, I decided to try it out. I am from San Diego and I have eaten at many taco stands rom Tijuana to Mexicali, Mexico. I can truly say that La
Super-Rica taqueria's food is nothing special and definitely not worth the long wait nor the price. However, I am envious of whoever the owner is. He has hyped up his taco shop resulting in many (majority caucasion) people believing that his tacos are made of gold. He maintains this illusion by intentionally creating long lines (frequently takes breaks whiile taking orders or takes orders very slowly). Check it out if you don't believe me. Yes, the older guy who was taking the orders, just walks away from the window for 5 minutes. I saw him at the back of the kitchen hanging out. The line grew longer and he returned. Nice trick...It obviously works.
Also, with the amount of business that this taco shop makes, they should purchase some better chairs and tables or at least clean the one's they have. Another illusion.
Playing "hard to get" really works. Also, they do not take credit cards or atm cards only cash (hmmmm..).
In my opinion, La super Rica Taqueria is no better than most taco stands. Save your money and time and go to a real taco shop.....just look for one where there are a lot of hispanics eating there. I bet you that it will be better food than this place.…
Julia was right about this place!. Just wait in line, it always moves quickly. Like everybody says the Super- Rica Special is great. But don't worry - just look at the board, find anything with the ingredients you like and go for it, you'll love it. I've been eating here for decades and never been disappointed; you won't be either.…
Different type of mexican... same love!. I have finally found this place again! Went here with a couple of friends a few years ago, and was completely blown away! The food here is outstanding. Not your typical mexican. Thought it might be from a different part of the country or something. Whatever it was, we all left very happy and very full. Was totally shocked to hear about all the negative reviews. Funny, those are probably the same people who would call Tito's tacos in L.A. horrible too! I say, go try it for yourself. It's got to tell you something when there's a line outside the door!…
Truly a Gen.
First of all after reading a few reviews, these people are completely WHACKED.
This is the best Mexican food ever. I've traveled extensively throughout Mexico, even one trip trying to find the best Tamales in Mexico. I believe the owners are from Spain and add their own flair to the dishes. So its not traditional Mexican. If Julia Childs thought this was an amazing place I would agree.
Enjoy…
