Ricardo's Taco TuesdayOverall, everything was very fresh. Pricing for Taco Tuesday was great. I appreciate the free salsa bar. I appreciated the double wrapped soft tacos. All tacos were very full. All cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage, and pico were cold, crisp, and fresh. My husband really enjoyed the chips and the hard shells.The staff was very nice and helpful.Salsa Bar-Jitomate- mild, red, fresh, not very chunky, cilantro was tasted in a good way, I would have liked it to be chunkier-Green- medium, was not spicy but was fresh, herby, tart, went great on fish Taco, and my favorite-Ricardo’s- medium, orangish, didn't care for and unsure how to describe-Caliente- hot, red, had a nice black peppery taste to it-Torito’s- extra hot, green, didn't seem hot at first then three bites in, the spice was a sneak attack, in a good way-Hot carrots were cut into large, thick circles, nicely marinaded, spicy but not too much, soft but with a nice crunch-Seasoned onions, I thought I got but apparently didn't-Limes were nicely tart-Grilled onions were nicely cooked and soft while still having a nice crunch, I could eat-Fresh Iced Tea, tasted like Lipton and was cold and fresh-Chips were crispy, nicely salted, a great thickness to dip in salsas or guacamole-Hard shell shredded beef needed salt, was a bit bland, but once I got to the salt, cheese, lettuce, and medium green salsa it was very good-Hard shell shredded chicken was inedible, the chicken was so dry my husband had a hard time swallowing it, although he said he liked the flavor, I thought it tasted like cardboard-Hard shell veggie was basically a bean taco, which I enjoyed with some salt-Soft Fried Fish was my absolute favorite, two nice size pieces of fried fish, fresh cabbage and pico, along with really good white sauce. I added a little lime and green medium salsa, split into two tacos since it was double wrapped. I would come back for this for sure. I'd ask for sauce on the side to keep the fish crispy and I'd ask for more sauce since it was so good.-Birra Street Taco was oddly sweet but ultimately my husband's favorite-Consume was oddly sweet, a bit bland but not badI'm sure we will be back.

Service sucked… lady on the phone made ordering needlessly complicated and she was being snarky and underhanded , To the point where I had to hand off the phone to my elderly mother and she had to complete the order (and even she got irritated a little bit) server was francis

Every time my husband goes here to get tacos, he gets the gringo special. Loaded with salsa and lettuce but very little meat. My husband is a whyte, blonde guy and it seems to influence how they serve him. Never happens to me or other latinos I know. NOT NICE! RAYCIST. Way to represent.AND PS: the food is NEVER as good as mine. But sometimes I can't cook >:(

Great, authentic Mexican food. Large menu, and it can take a while to make choices due to the wide variety. The street tacos and the breakfast burritos are especially good. Those burritos are huge and fulfilling. The staff is friendly and even tolerate my Spanish

This mom and pops style Mexican Restaurant is by far the best I've had since I moved here. The rice and beans were flavorful and the Queso Pastor tacos were amazing. They have a nice salsa bar with fresh cut limes and grilled onions. The asap Torta was great as well. I will be putting this on my Mexican food rotation.

The food is ok, they maintain the establishment clean, and the bathroom are large. They mainly have the tv on sports so it's good to chill and watch the game.

First time trying Ricardo's Mexican food, and I am disappointed. We ordered Carne asada torta and Pollo asada quesadilla with chips and salsa. First of the lettuce in the torta has gone bad, it taste as if it was sitting out for long and it was very greasy. The meat had a odd smell. The pollo asada quesadilla had dry chicken bites and taste like scrambled eggs. The chips were very stale you cannot chew them properly. The salsa that came in a individual container was delicious. The spice was just right. The other dips that came with the quesadilla which was guac, pico de gallo, sour cream were fresh too.I also feel that they are over priced for the quality of food they serve. ?Parking: Lots of open space.

They don't make their burritos big enough for the price. Lot of extra tortilla.
