" Rico's is an amazing family gathering spot! The colorful decor and fun music instantly lifted our spirits. We tried many items from the menu, but the birria tacos were superb! There seemed to be plenty of portion size, and everything was reasonably priced. Although it took a bit of time to get served, the friendly staff made the wait worthwhile. Overall, I highly recommend Rico's for anyone looking for a lively spot with fantastic food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had the pleasure of visiting Rico's, and I cannot rave enough about their ice cream. The flavors are unique and well-crafted! I particularly enjoyed the mango agua fresco, which was refreshing and not overly sweet. The food options are fantastic too! My family had a great time. However, the only downside was that the service was a bit slow during peak hours. But overall, I highly recommend this place for its authenticity and lively atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Rico's, I finally decided to visit. The bright decor welcomed us as soon as we walked in. I loved their unique take on traditional sweets. We ordered the Birria Pizza, which was a delightful twist on a classic, and I was pleasantly surprised. However, I did feel that the service could improve as the staff appeared overwhelmed, causing delays. Overall, I would recommend trying this spot for the delightful offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful place! My family and I had a great time enjoying the different snacks Rico's offers. The variety kept the children entertained while they tried unique flavors of water and ice cream. The quesabirria tacos were the highlight of our meal! Everything was well-seasoned, and the environment was clean and colorful. The only setback was a longer wait for the food than expected, but given how good it was, I'll likely come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Rico's with some friends last weekend and was blown away by how colorful and vibrant the place is! We tried a variety of snacks, but the highlight was definitely the elotes. The way they prepare them is spot on! There were so many toppings to choose from as well. The only downside was that the line was long, and it took a bit to get our food. But it was worth the wait! I can't wait to go back. " (*Curated Review*)
