2018/12/02 -Mexican Food, Osaka(大阪), Restaurant, >Umeda(梅田)
Que Rico has many different meanings in Spanish. One translation I like from Spanish to English is: Isn't it delicious!/How delicious!

Its is served with potatoes, shredded cabbage, salsa and sour cream on top. You also get a choice of ...
