    While I was running errands in Gallatin, I figured I would grab lunch and a local Mexican spot…read morealways hits the spot. I pulled up Yelp (of course!) and noticed that Ricardo's had solid reviews and was less than a mile away, so off I went. Ricardo's sits in the middle of a good size plaza that sits across from Wal-Mart and features retail, office space and other eateries. Parking is plentiful give the plaza, so no issues from the outside. Walking in, the vestibule features a cool neon sign that says "Live everyday like it's taco Tuesday", which was pretty cool and set the vibe, so I thought. I walked in and the Associate behind the register was face down in his phone, and after a few moments of me awkwardly standing there, he finally looked up and led me to a booth. Once sat, the waitress was very quick to greet me. She was friendly and helpful when needed. I started my meal with a bean dip, which only comes in one size, large. It was a bit much for just one person and honestly would be for two. I am not one to complain about "too much" food, but with this, I definitely suggest they offer a small version, as they do with queso. In follow up for my meal I went with the lunch Arroz con Queso with Chicken. After 15 minutes, my waitress comes by to ask how everything is and noticed I had not gotten my food yet. She apologizes and runs to the kitchen and returns with my plate. I could tell by her reaction and the luke warm temperature of the food that it had been ready and waiting back there for a few minutes. In addition to the temp, I was a tad surprised at the service size of the dish. I get it was off the lunch menu, but it was still priced over $10, and it was honestly the size of what you expect from a children's portion. Which is funny given my previous comment on the bean dip portion. All in all, the food was okay. It is your standard locally owned Mexican restaurant fare. Lunch ran me around $20 in total. Overall, Ricardo's was just okay in all facets from service to food to price. I do not find myself in Gallatin often, but when I do, I cannot see myself going out of my way to swing back by Ricardo's.

    The waitress was incredibly friendly and if she didn't know something, she made sure to ask. The…read morefood was delicious, although I couldn't have the guacamole because it contained milk. Maybe next time I'll request just avocados. Surprisingly, even the rice had milk in it. I'm not sure why. My in-laws really enjoyed their meals. They had steak and fish. I just wish there were more vegan choices so I could join them more frequently. The restaurant has a charming decor and it's always clean. The parking is convenient, especially for those who have trouble walking with its low curbs. Oh and they have outside seating too.
