Kind of disappointed. I've been going for years, and slowly things have gotten worse. Went in for dinner on Tuesday, right around 6:00. I honestly didn't know if they were open at first because there was no one there. Went inside and was seated. There was one other table of people eating and no one else in the dining area. Also another table completely covered and not bussed. We waited for 15 minutes after being seated before anyone even came to the table to ask about drinks. Took our drink and appetizer order. 5 minutes later, server returns with no drinks and lets us know that neither options for appetizers were available. Needless to say, we left. read more

GOOD RESTAURANT CLOSE TO FORT DRUM ==================================== We were flying out of Syracuse in the afternoon and met my son for lunch as he was nearby working at Fort Drum. You can tell the service people and others like this place because it's close to the base. I got a tostada with chicken. I wasn't really thrilled with the chicken, but I ate everything else. My husband liked his shredded beef burrito. My son liked his burrito as well. This business is owned by an Army veteran too which is nice. read more

Slow service, bad food, very expensive!! Very very disappointing. Steak was overcooked, we smelled like grease when we left . Never again!! read more

We have been visiting the Tico's restaurant in CHAUMONT. The owners own this restaurant as well and offer up in Italian cuisine as well. My friend ordered the chicken Parm and I ordered a seafood pasta dish. Wanted to try the Italian side since we know they're Mexican. Food is five star. We were not disappointed great flavors good food. The spaghetti was done properly and the sauce was not too sweet. Plenty of shrimp and scallops. I would recommend this place and most likely will visit them again. I will say, though that the Mexican Tico's in CHAUMONT is still my favorite. The shrimp tequila is to die for. Give it a try you'll love it. Say hi to Jose and his family. They always come out to greet you. They're the proprietors of both restaurants. read more

Great food, amazing service, and reasonable prices, along with extensive menu: Wonderful experience!

Unfortunately the food was awful. Service was great but the food is not great by any means.

I'm in town for work and I stopped by for lunch. I got the ground beef burrito supreme, which had great flavor and the toppings were fresh. It even came with chips and salsa included for under $10! The gentleman that took my order was also very nice and hospitable. I'll be back! read more

One of our favorite places to go. Great friendly service and fresh delicious food. Easy to eat in ir take out!

Placed a pickup order. Only two items that were ridiculously overpriced for what they were. My husband picked up the order while I was on the phone, and the worker he spoke with was extremely verbally abusive to him, ignorant, and rude. He was confused about our order and then blamed my husband for the mistake. Only after several minutes did he realize he was wrong and get our order. The following week I decided to make my own tacos birria at home in the instant pot. They were 4x as good and the ingredients cost me 1/3 of the price. But by all means if you want to be overcharged for mediocre food and treated poorly, then order here. read more

Really your only choice for good Mexican food close to base. Great food too for New York.

Walked in for a late lunch. None of the tables had been bussed from earlier in the day. The place was absolutely trashed. Waited for about 10 minutes to be seated, which was kind of weird because we were the only ones in there. The food was mediocre at best. The kicker though was the GIANT RAT we encountered behind the counter on our way out. Won't be returning. read more

The last time I ordered they gave me expired beans. I used to really like this place, but it's changed :/

Granted, we had a large group. But we waited for 2.5 hours before getting our food. I got some tacos and flan. The flan was delicious! Probably the only redeeming quality about this place. I found a fly in my taco, which absolutely ruined my appetite. When I told the waitress. She replied "well.. it is north country." stellar. response. never going there again. read more

I have vowed to no longer go back. Food is good but owner lacks basic customer service skills. I took a friend for lunch who just got to the area. He asked the owner if he had any munch specials and he completely went bizerk. He proceeded with, "I don't know why people keep asking for the lunch special, we don't do that." Like bro if people keep asking why not offer it. I ordered the lunch steer tacos (not a special) and asked for just the tacos no sides, he charged me more than what it would've cost with the sides. I mean at least let me know it's going to be more. Decent food, horrible attitude. read more

Seems like an odd concept, Mexican and Italian in the same restaurant, but somehow it works! I've never been disappointed when eating here!

One thing for sure when you leave this place is that you will be stuffed full of good food! My husband and I relocated here from Texas. My husband is from a Mexican heritage and grew up around authentic Mexican food. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the music adds to the ambiance. Our food portions were generous and our entrees were served warm and fast. Our waitress was very nice and friendly. She recommended a great chocolate cake to top off our Dinner with. It's a great place to stop for a delicious Mexican meal. read more

This is usually one of my favorite stops,but Saturday evening was a different experience. It was a warm day so I decided to forgo my usual entree and ordered the taco salad. Huge mistake, and major disapointment. The taco bowl was beautiful, but it all stopped there. The bowl was about half full of ingredients, most of it being diced wilted lettuce. I'd ordered shredded beef for the meat, and there may have been a tablespoon full of meat but not much more. Several little pieces of diced tomato,and a dollop each of soft cheese and guacamole. With the price being 12+ dollars,I left feeling really ripped off. My wife's Italian entree looked good, and we will no doubt go back again,but I'll sure as heck pass on the taco salad. read more

This review is for their pastries and desserts. Honestly is hard to find a good mexican place to eat, and is even harder to find a place to buy mexican desserts and sweet bread, but this restaurant have it, 5he iwner bakes delicious mexican sweet bread (conchas, besos and all that), they remind me of Mexico. read more

Authentic and amazing!!! I literally feel like I was back home. By far my FAVORITE restaurant here.

Food was terrible. I asked for taco salad, no Bueno. I asked for rice & beans in my salad. I got mushy-ass refried beans instead of pinto beans or protein packed black beans. The rice was brown instead of yellow or white. 1 word disgusting.... read more

food smelled like 2 week old hospital garbage left overs, looks the same as it smells and to top it all off everything was so slimy it was a waste of money. all I could do was throw the food out. if I could have put 0 stars I would have. read more

SOOO GOOD! SOOOOOOO GOOD! Yea, Tico's mom was in the house, serving tables and smiles. OH those huevos rancheros! Good food, served by he who has served, with pride and passion. Will definitely come back!! read more

Last time I had just a regular taco how do you mess that up it was nasty and I threw up later that night

We have only ever eaten in the Mexican section which has some pretty good food. The owner is nice too and the complimentary chips are a traditional touch. The only problem we have here is that their waitress is always sick. She coughs all over the place and we've watched her holding plates while coughing over her shoulder. It is worrisome especially when we hear her coughing in the kitchen, I'm sure she's added her own seasonings to our meals. Usually after we eat at Tico's, one of us falls ill with a cold which is why we have not come here in a while. Maybe they should consider hiring more staff so the poor woman can take a day and rejuvenate her health. read more

Absolutely loved our experience here! The food was great & the service was even better. We are Mexican food so we don't know how their Italian food is. But the food was great. Especially their desserts! We ate the sopapilla & tres leches cake. Omg they are amazing!! The establishment was clean & the staff was so friendly. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

I love the Mexican food and proportion size. The menudo is delicious and the tacos are just like home. Everyone is friendly and the establishment is very clean and service is fast. read more

Absolute GARBAGE food & service. Should've known better when arriving at noon with no other customers. No table service, order food at the register, pay in advance & the miserable cerote brings it to your table. Chips served in a brown lunch bag. All around the worst! Stay away! Taco Bell (yuk!) is a much better choice. read more

Wasted over 1 1/2 hours for our food, waitress said they had lots of orders ahead of ours, we dined In, 1 of 3 other tables. Dine in should have priority over takeout. The food was microwaved, guacamole was watered down and tasted tangy, the shrimp tacos were not what you would expect for the prices they charge, 3 shrimp, barley anything else, the enchiladas were rubber and we didn't get any of the add-ons we ordered, but We were charged for them. Over 100.000 later and still hungry and tired, this isn't a restaurant I could recommend for good service or good quality of food. read more

ordered 3 meals . wasn't impressed with the "traditional flavor " they offered ..........................................

Mexican and Italian dishes under that same roof, this is my fist. Especially for this part of the state and the proximity to the post is less then 5 minutes. Friday is salsa night with free military entrance, see you there! read more

Great food, they had my order out fast. The tacos were good but I really loved the tamales.

I'm from Texas and have been craving good Mexican food!! This place made my day, it was delicious. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful!

Okay, I admit we haven't eaten here until now because I was skeptical that one place could do justice to Italian and Mexican food. The owner explained to us how they bought all of Primo's recipes when they bought the building. The free chips and salsa set things off on a good start. We love bruschetta so we ordered Tico's. A good tip is to order it without the cheese topping. It was fantastic. I ordered the shrimp fajitas. They came out on a sizzle platter hot and delicious. My wife ordered the chicken parmesan and it too was tasty. Just when we thought we were stuffed, we gave into the temptation of a freshly baked cannoli cheesecake. Oooh, yeah. If you're coming to Tico's, remember that the food is prepared fresh and can take little time. read more

So, as I'm reading through these reviews, I felt the need to seriously back this place up. I think the ppl who are giving this place negative reviews have never had real Authentic Mexican food. Being from Texas and having in laws that live across the border and actually going to to Mexico to eat, I feel that I can say that I know what real Mexican food is. This place is legit. Pricey, but you get what you pay for people. It's a sit down restaurant so if you expect to get your food super fast and you want to eat shit then don't go here. Missing Mexican food from ACTUAL Mexico, I think I can say that I found my go to place!!! The family who owns it is super friendly as well! Had a 30 minute conversation with him. Now all he needs to get is the barbacoa ;-)!!! Haven't tried the Italian menu, but when I get tired of munching in Mexican food then I will! read more

What a great combination of Italian and Mexican cuisine!! My husband's favorite is Italian and mine is Mexican so we could easily find something from both menus to satisfy both of us!! It's a family owned and ran restaurant and they made us feel like part of their Family!! The food was amazing flavor and portions were big!! read more

This place was amazing! Real authentic Mexican food! So many types of dishes. They even have Mexican drinks and candy! It was delicious cooked perfectly. I am not Mexican but I am Hispanic and I know Hispanic food. And this reminded me of home. Almost wanted to cry, please check this place out. You will not be disappointed. If you know Hispanic food, you will know this is real authentic food. Don't expect it to be Taco Bell or chipotle! That is not authentic Mexican food. Tico's Mex Mex Grill is the real deal. Thank you for the experience! We will definitely be back! read more

Primo's De Tico's - Chicken Enchiladas swissas - Mexican Near Me - Carthage, New York

We've been living in the area for almost a year, but we have not tried Tico's (even though we are AVID Mexican food fans). From the outside, the place looks like a dive, which shouldn't have dissuaded me, because I know that "dives" tend to be the best restaurants. When we first moved here, someone told me this place was disgusting. So, I never gave it chance. Plus, there were only 2 reviews here on Yelp. I always worry about places with so few reviews. Recently, though, someone told my husband that the place was good. So we decided to give it a try. Boy, am I glad we did! This is the ONLY Mexican food restaurant in the area. It tastes like many of the family owned restaurants I love back in my hometown in New Mexico. The food was tasty. The service was good. I'm glad we went. I had the carnitas. They were very good--typical carnitas, with a nice hot chile sauce. But my husband had a combo plate with smothered tamales. YUM. I will definitely get the tamales next time. read more
