5/5 ~ Ambiance is romantic and offers various seating indoor and outdoor. While sitting and eating, I feel like I'm in a home. 5/5 ~ Service is quick and personal 5/5 ~ Parking can get limited when there are events in the outdoor area but park next door in the huge business complex. 5/5 ~ Food An "upscale" version of El Torito and the flan is the most delicious, so order the flan as a first item before the meal. My taste buds are always satiated with any food item on the menu.

After living in the area for a little over a year we have *now* found our go-to restaurant for homestyle classic Mexican food.It started after I asked a hispanic, "what's your favorite Mexican restaurant in the area?" They said Ricardo's, but that it was a little pricey: note taken.My first time here I ordered a crispy beef taco and chile relleno combination plate ($21.99) and I haven't been able to stop ordering that same dish every time: it's been 4 times now! My husband is a crispy beef taco snob and said he hasn't had better. Their taco shells are homemade - not the pre-made grocery store shells. Now, I'm a chile relleno snob so I love that theirs is a pasilla chile (dark green), which has more flavor than its anaheim chile counterpart (the light green kind).Let's not forget their margaritas. While a bit on the pricey side for a non-craft cocktail (they use mixers), they do give you a large goblet for a drink. Their traditional margaritas are too sweet for my taste, so I have to order a skinny cadillac which costs $17.99. Ultimately, what brings me here besides the food is the atmosphere. I love their booth seating which is reminiscent of traditional mexican restaurants of my youth. The decor is cozy and friendliness of employees also stands out. P.S. !Taco Tuesday goes off here!

Absolutely look forward to eating a lot of my meals here when I come into town. Super great food and service at a hole in the wall restaurant. Best Chicken tacos. I dream of my next visit in town and the house green sauce. Definitely don't miss out and come by for some amazing food. And Richard is still here helping out. Have eaten here for so many years. Growing up in the area it's fun to come and still see his face helping out. We need a restaurant like this in Idaho.

AMAZING food and service!!! We rented out half the restaurant for my grandmas 90th birthday and we had the absolute best time! Servers and staff were incredible. The food was top tier!! I got a plate with a carnitas taco, beef enchilada, and rice and beans. Everything was absolutely delicious. Their horchata is excellent too!

I love this resturant for many reasons. One of the most important is Mrs Bertha. Always hospitable, and welcoming. Even with special orders to avoid food allergies , I know when she is there I am in great hands. Today. I ordered "take out" on a friday. My usual Tostada Salad, shredded beef ( strained/drained) so the shell is not soggy, extra rice, beans on the bottom and extra lettuce and we have a winner folks! The crunchy shell, the guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo makes every bite worth every penny. A must order when you come here. Everything on the menu is amazing, and whether you choose to eat inside the resturant or do take out you cant loose. Win-win. Ricardos is a staple in the community and a gem. Highly recommend 10/10!

Came on a Saturday night and had a party of six, so as expected we had to wait 15-20mins. The place is busy so keep that in mind if visiting on the weekend, but they are busy for a reason. The place is big, plenty of parking and it is cute that they decorated for St. Patrick's Day considering this is a Mexican restaurant.Prices are about $20 per meal and then they do offer a lunch menu and special along with a senior special.Service is always exceptional and food order has never been incorrect, which I appreciate it. Including my skinny margarita The food was absolutely delicious, portions are huge so be prepared to take home left overs or split a plate.Ricardo's is one of the few places that offer potato taquitos that are so delicious you don't need to slab guacamole or sour cream to add flavor.Everyone in my party enjoyed the food, which again is hard to find. You won't be disappointed

This place looks small on the outside but actually held a lot of people. Parking is decent and you'll most likely find a spot. Service was great they are very attentive. They will fill your chips up as much as you want and refills as well. The ambiance I would say is cluttered and loud but yet fun. The booth is plus size friendly which was great. I had the pozole and I did not like it there was not enough flavor. The food seemed like your average "American style" Mexican food. Pricing I would say is overpriced my pozole was 19.99 and it is large but it was very bland.Overall I would say this is more of a get drinks and appetizers type of place rather than outstanding food.

Hands down, the best chips and salsa! I originally found Ricardo's Place about a year or two ago through a DoorDash delivery -- it was packed! That piqued my interest (and I ended up ordering tacos of my own that night). I recently went back for a late lunch on a weekday and got the All Day Special (beef enchilada, taco, beans and rice). I'm not usually a rice and beans person -- I usually prefer to go a la carts and get more substantial food options; however, decided to try something different this day.Really enjoyed the taco -- I would like to come back for Taco Tuesday (although their tacos on Taco Tuesday do seem pricier than some nearby comparable establishments). The beef enchilada was honestly not to my liking -- at all. The enchilada sauce tasted like it came from a can? Maybe it was just an off day -- because I really love the tacos -- so won't hold that against them. Will definitely be back for more chips, salsa and tacos soon!2023: 61/100

Absolutely have loved Ricardo's for many years.Used to come in here weekly, but sadly the prices have gone up so high that is no longer feasible for us.The food is outstanding always and the staff is fabulous!The fish tacos are true Baja tacos! A tough find in California!Miss coming here as often, but will return for sure!
