On a warm summer day in Belize, I was walking the streets on the search for some good food, cultural foods. Then I came across this little restaurant called, Rico's. There was a sign that said they served homemade tacos and that sounded delicious! I hopped in line, which wasn't too bad, only about three people long. Once I was up I ordered their street tacos with lettuce, meat, sour cream, cheese, onions, salsa, and guacamole.
It only took one bite and I knew it was the greatest taco I have ever put in my mouth. the soft shell, juicy meat, the fresh lettuce, and the hint of spicy salsa. It all just complimented itself so well. The glass of lemonade was a great touch to wash it all down too.
