" I have to share my wonderful experience at Rico's! This is the definition of a family-friendly restaurant. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and the place was buzzing with energy. Our kids enjoyed the game section while we savored delicious tortas and their famous churros. The staff was friendly and patient, especially with my particular order. If you haven't tried the aguas frescas yet, you're missing out! It was fantastic and really complemented our meal. We’ll definitely be regulars here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my doubts before visiting Rico's because of mixed reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised! The ambiance is vibrant and family-friendly. The ice cream flavors are unlike any I've tasted before. I also ordered tortas, which were fresh and delicious. Sadly, I encountered a little mishap with the order taking. My son received the wrong dessert at first, but the staff corrected it quickly with a smile. Overall, this place earned my vote! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rico's is an absolute hidden gem! I was blown away by their selection of paletas and the authentic taste of their elotes. Every bite was flavorful and not too heavy on the toppings, which was just perfect. The ambiance is very inviting, making it a great place to unwind. I recommend trying out their special flavors—they never disappoint. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the mood for authentic Mexican flavors, Rico's is a must-visit! I had the chance to try their Quesabirria tacos, and they were simply out of this world. The meat was flavorful, and the tortillas were perfectly grilled. The atmosphere is lively, perfect for families. My kids particularly enjoyed the ice cream flavors, especially the coconut one! Great service as well—definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)
