When you order, use cash !!! They charge an OUTRAGEOUS fee for using a card !! Will NEVER go there again! Went to another Mexican restaurant & even paying WITH card price was $5 cheaper for the same items I got a rico's !! Nope !! Never again.... Even if I had cash !! read more

Hands down, my favorite meal whenever I visit from California. Easy to order over the phone and pick up is simple. Their hot sauce is unmatched and never changes. The inside is fun and colorful. read more

Living in Arizona half my life I was spoiled with many good authentic Mexican restaurants. Moved back to Michigan about 20 years ago and am still searching for really good Mexican food. Technically it's Sonoran style . Rarely outside of a tacobell did I find hamburger filled burritos. I'm still amazed at what some consider a wet burrito a good offering. Anyways in constant pursuit of something better than the norm in Michigan I saw this place had shredded beef burritos. The basis of my favorite back in the AZ. My nephew chose their fajitas. And he enjoyed them. I chose the shredded beef burrito dinner that came with rice and beans. Now my favorite variation is to ask for the burrito enchilada style. That's just topping it with enchilada sauce and melting cheese on it and a light amount of tomatoes, green onions and cilantro on top. And the guy taking my order said they couldnt do it because the enchilada sauce was precooked. Precooked? It's just a sauce. Tried to get me to just order enchiladas. After going back and fourth the best I could get was a side of sauce to put on myself. I received 2 tiny burritos and true to his word with nothing on them. Rice and beans. Rice was tasteless. Didn't even give me salsa so I could fix it up. Beans had no melted cheese which if it isnt the norm it should be. And the burritos which I am happy to say they didn't stuff with Rice and beans to limit the beef but there was no flavor at all. Like they took leftover roast beef and stuffed the small tortillas with it. I have had luck in the last 15 years a few times down in the Detroit area. Ironically not really in Mexico town area. But I will continue to search for a good Mexican restaurant north of 23 mile. Maybe keyword in search should be Sonoran. Tastes differ and these guys may be what you would like so give them a try. I myself am moving on . Place is small, just carryout. Seemed fast enough. And in today's market not over expensive. Don't expect any complimentary chips and salsa.Hope you enjoy more than I.. read more

Food is excellent - authentic Mexican cuisine, fast efficient take out service. Get the deep fried taco dinner - they do it just right! read more

We used Rico's catering for a large family gathering and we couldn't be happier! Rico's ensured that picking up the food was a fast, easy process. The quality of the food itself was incredible! Hot, flavorful, and made with love, Rico's truly lives up to its name! read more

Not authentic. BLAND. Most food items tasted like they were out of cans or bags. Wanted to try tamales but none available. Staff was wonderful though! Only authentic item I found was the Mexican Coca-Cola in the bottle. read more

Are you a moan or cuss type of person...? Cause if the food is good enough, I'm both. And let me tell you, Rico's nachos had me sounding like I should be charging $4.99/month on OnlyFans to listen to me eat these nachos In case it was misunderstood...12/10 recommend. read more

Everything was Very good n l go to a lot of Mexican Restaurants n l Live my Comb n Large Nachos n Peppers n I Highly Recommend please Go its Worth . The $$$$$$$$ read more

We've always been interested in ordering take out from Rico's. I've always heard good things about their chips so I ordered the nachos. I ordered mine without meat so it came with lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, and cheese. I got the small which was $6 but they were huge! My partner ordered the 2 deep fried lunch special which came with 2 deep fried beef tacos, refried beans, and rice. Both were delicious and very filling! We'll definitely be back! read more

Yummy, my 1st was the best authentic taco's I've ever had. I will definitely be a frequent flyer!!

I like my tacos like I like my coffee. Any way I can get them and preferably for free. Now I've had Rico's fresh and I've had it brought to me. The major downside to this place is that it is cash only, and I am not that person. Now I'll start with, I grew up in CA. So what I may look for in a great place is NOT going to be what someone from MI does. As usual, I start with the rice and beans. The rice while colored well, was under salted and too soft. The beans had the thing going on where you can tell the first cook was done too hot/high. The ground beef wasn't a life changer, but it rarely ever is. They do have barb and chicken as alternate offerings though. I'll go if it's what everyone else wants. I am not going to cry if I'm craving it and they're closed. read more

Stumbled across this place while driving around looking for dinner, thought I would swing in, noticed it was to go only which was OK I was looking for a dine in place but settled for this. Ordered a small double layer nacho, added some jalapeños (minus the tomato and onion) and wow best nachos hands-down! Staff was very friendly. Highly recommend read more

it was amazing and performance (costumer service) elite 10/10 I am going back for sure

We love Rico's!! Every single time we order the food is excellent. My personal favorite is the chicken enchilada dinner with onions. Not only is the food wonderful but the man who usually takes my order over the phone is one of the nicest people in the city. He is always so nice!! Thank you Ricos for a wonderful place to get delicious, authentic Mexican food. read more

Great tacos and nachos and all of their friendly staff. Keep up the great work. If you want good food, this is the place to go. I can't wait to try the rest of there menu. read more

If you like authentic Mexican food don't go to Rico's. Fast service but very bland and my bean burrito is a mini tortilla folded once over a spoonful of beans and a little cheese. read more

Read the reviews, got curious. Talked to people that suggested this place, heard it was great food for a great price. Walked in to a small no frills pick up area with a packed room of customers and bustling area behind the counter with employees working hard. I got nervous that I couldn't decide what I wanted fast enough , but when I got to the front, the employee was patient and helpful. $14 fed three people and we are stuffed. Food was delicious and FRESH. Simple fresh flavorful ingredients created a filling meal. I definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a great meal on a budget. read more

Rico's Authentic Mexican Take Out - Take out chicken taco & beef taco on flour tortillas and bean tostada. - Mexican Near Me - Saginaw, Michigan

I usually don't complain and I know that everyone makes mistakes but got a bean tostada dinner and the deep fried taco dinner and was disappointed. The deep fried tacos were not crispy like I've had in the past and the tostada dinner was to include 3 tostada's, beans and rice and when we opened the container there was only 1 tostada with no beans or rice. Bill was $27.00 for a deep fried taco dinner and 1 tostada. read more

Stopped by last week to grab some tacos dinners as my office has a taco tuesday lunch day once a month. Most times one of the minons just run to the 'border' but this week I was up and wanted something different and local (no chain). Great fresh tacos! Only downside is it is take away only and for me they close at 7pm. That is about the time that I usually leave the office. read more

BARBACOA!!!! I didn't see it on the menu, but after reading some reviews I saw that they had barbacoa! We stopped in and asked for barbacoa tacos, and they made them with no problem. YUM. My only regret is that on our visit to Saginaw we could only eat there twice. If they had been open on Sunday we were going to load up and fill our freezer with those tasty tasty barbacoa tacos. My only regret is that we do not live closer to Saginaw to eat there more often. read more

I'm going to give this place 4 stars because I have had their tamales and they are delish. I ayoped by recently to pick up some salsa, chips, pico, and refried beans on my way out of town. I was disappointed with everything. The salsa was spicy but rather flavorless. The refried beans...I've made better at home. The pico...lord have mercy, ZERO TASTE. I'm kinda shook by the whole experience because I've loved their food in the past but this time, Taco Bell would have beat them. read more

I ordered a Carne asada burrito and got a soggy Taco.....?? over the last 30 years in San Diego I've more at more Great taco shops than you can Imagine, this was a very disappointing experience... I was hoping for better... and the hot sauce- Well it really needs a make over. read more

Wow - best Mexican I've eaten in Saginaw! Perfectly sized tamales come fresh and hot wrapped in corn husk with a side of excellent spicy salsa. Rice and beans are great but nothing special, disappointed that whole beans aren't an option. Guacamole, salsa, and other sides go well with the housemade tortilla chips. This place is takeout only and cash only but worth the inconvenience since the prices can't be beat! read more

Did I die and go to heaven or am I at Rico's? This hard-to-please picky eater has never been happier with Mexican food! I keep my face down, fork to mouth, and start shoveling in the goods. The pricing is amazing for the amount of food you get, too! Large serving sizes almost guarantee you'll have a nosh for later in the evening. You know those fake hands on the end of a stick used with animal shelter dogs to see if they're well-mannered when it's meal time? Yeah, I'd bite the hand if it approached me while eating Rico's. read more

I wanted chicken fajitas they were out. I paid for shredded beef fried tacos and they gave me ground which is about a $3 price diffence they ripped me off and the burritos were just soft tacos. I will never eat here again. read more

For the fourth time this year we order extra sour cream and only one hot sause. The order, when we get home is one sour cream for 5 burritos. What bull shit again read more

I love this place.. the tacos are the best and the nachos are good as well.. they give you a lot.. for your money..they are prompt and clean which is a big plus in my boom read more

I love Mexican takeout and Rico's is a great example of it: homemade everything, quick (like, super-quick. So quick it's in the bag before I'm done fishing for change), and cheap. Wow, is it cheap. Please do yourself a favor: drive past Taco Bell and every other fast-food chain on Tittabawassee and Bay roads and get yourself a 99 cent taco, or four, or a dollar forty-nine bean tostada, or a homemade tamale, which you will not be seeing at any fast food chain anytime soon. The fresh crispy corn tortillas are the star of the show here. They sell bags of them at the counter, along with some other goodies, for your at-home Mexican cooking needs. A little rant: I want to compliment this place for not jumping on the new faux "authentic" Mexican bandwagon, which everyone seems to think requires loading everything with cilantro and raw onion and calling it a day. Food that is freshly prepared and seasoned well - be it americanized, tex-mex, or otherwise transformed - trumps "authentic" unless "authentic" is actually done well. So, at Rico's your tacos come with lettuce, cheese (yellow little shreds strewn on top, gasp!), tomato, and homemade hot sauce, and it satisfies this Midwestern girl's taco craving just fine. The only down-side is no seating and it's cash only. read more

This is the best Mexican in town. I go here at least twice a month. The hot sauce is fabulous! I haven't had a bad meal. My favs are the enchiladas or the nachos, but you can't go wrong with anything at Rico's. read more

WOW! Great food!!! Try the shreded beef burritos. The chips and salsa are super. This place is take out only, but the food is fantastic! You can buy chips and fried taco shells here if you are making your own. This is a jewel to the tri-county area! read more

best mexican in all of saginaw!! the chicken enchiladas are my favorite. i always ask for this place when i come home to visit my family! i've had his as my birthday dinner for numerous years, and always request it when my family offers to go out. chips are awesome, but if you leave some in the pantry they'll get greasy after about two days and won't be good anymore! everything on their menu is awesome. can't go wrong here! read more

Rico's is cash only so be prepared! The food is delicious, and the portions are very generous.

You really can't beat Ricos when it comes to good Mexican food! Honestly, I've never had a bad dish from here but I haven't tried everything so can only comment on their tacos and beans which are great! The only reason they lost that 5th star is because every single time I eat there, my stomach hurts and I end up on the white knight the next day! It's me not you Rico! read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Every time I call there is nothing but attitude from the women that take the phone calls. This has happened on multiple occasions. Last time I will be going there. read more

Hands down the best Mexican food in town. Cash only so be prepared for that. Don't waste your time with the chains or sit down restaurants. Support this local business with pride Saginaw. read more
