Taco Rico is your elevated Latin street food spot in the heart of DIFC. By day, it’s a hub for business lunches; by night, it shifts into a lively gathering spot where tacos and freshly shaken margaritas are enjoyed against the city’s backdrop - blending brand identity with spatial storytelling.
The restaurant’s identity is anchored in its signature red - a hue drawn directly from the brand logo and woven seamlessly into the interior. From the striking ceiling ducts and subway tiles to custom-designed furniture and the kitchen door, this bold accent color energizes the space while reinforcing a sense of continuity.
At the core of the interior, a sculptural counter crafted from burl wood and stainless steel sets the tone for a refined industrial aesthetic. Overhead, a bespoke suspended shelf doubles as a wine glass rack and menu display marrying utility and design that becomes a focal gesture in the small space.
