EDIT -1 star because they charge fee for using credit cards
Held off on writing the review until I ate her again. The first time I ate here, I really enjoyed it and saved it in Google Maps so I could remember the next time I was in the area.
I went back today, and the food was delicious! Es muy rico! Just like I remembered. I ordered four carne asada tacos and loved every bite. The plate was packed.
I will definitely be back the next time I am in the area.
~They accept credit card
~Clean dining area outside next to the restaurant
~Lots of onsite parking

Decided to try this place since I recently moved to the area. I was very pleased that I decided to eat here. I had the chicharron burrito. It was better than I expected…. sooooo good!! My daughter got the bean & and cheese, and her boyfriend got the deluxe fries w/asada. My daughter said her burrito was really good bcuz not all restaurants can make a good bean & cheese, according to professional. (my daughter)Lol. I had a bite of the fries and the entire bite was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be going back.

Ok so I got rice and beans and 2 carne asada tacos and 1 birria taco. Rice and beans fire fresh great flavor. Carne asada tacos meat didn’t taste fresh cabbage was super hard and they put some type of red sauce on my tacos and didn’t ask for it taste was hot and sour I don’t know so then let’s get to the birria taco asked if they had consome she said yes they do but it’s inside taco huh ok in the picture you will see it’s the first taco to your left alot of cabbage and the same red sauce they put on my 2 other tacos all she had to say was they don’t have consome and I would of gladly went some where else. But will eat there again for rice n beans.

I love the pictures painted on the wall of the great pedro infante y ,Vicente Fernandez , Lola la grande famous mexican singers ,Inside is clean and tables are clean ♡.Down to critics.

On a noteworthy stretch of what was once “Route 66” in San Bernadino, Amapola Rico Taco inhabits the same site as Glen Bell’s first taco restaurant, a taco shop that was nonsensically-named “Taco Tia.”
Yes, the origins of Taco Bell can be traced to this tiny building situated directly across the street from Mitla Café, the eatery whose owners Bell befriended before stealing their taco recipe and audaciously setting up shop across the street to compete against them.
The current ownership of this small taco shop is a family descended from founder Rosina Gallardo who came to the U.S. from Zacatecas, Mexico, and opened the first Amapola Rico Taco in March 1975. Her family currently operates four other locations of the same name in the Inland Empire. They have no connection to Glen Bell and thus serve far less offensive fare. As part of my pilgrimage to Mitla Café last year, I stopped here and ordered a “Taco de Chicharrón.” My curiosity was rewarded with a dirt-cheap taco made with a bagged corn tortilla wrapped around springy pork skin with crispy edges and a zippy salsa roja with a nice burn despite being a tad on the watery side of saucy.
This taco alone is not worth a special trip, but it checks all boxes of good, cheap, and fast. If you’re in the neighborhood and want to eat at a property that (for all the wrong reasons) was important to popularizing Mexican cuisine in the United States, this is an easy diversion.
