    Solid local Mexican staples. Great Tamales and good tacos. Variety of meat choices. Nice indoor seating, or picnic tables outside. No liquor license.

    So good I forgot to take a picture until almost done.

    I am not much of a tamale fan but my husband is. Two chicken and cheese tamales later, I was ready for more. Absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend. It's a small place but good service and fabulous tamales.

    Authentic Mexican! Must try 'em Mulitas! (Nowhere else to be found.) Easily the best in town.

    Rico's has become a regular visit for us. Tamales are top notch, tacos excellent. Definitely worth the drive to Rothbury.

    I love Rico's. There tamales are great. They also have great tacos. I'm so happy there in Rothbury. Just wish they would serve burritos.

    I like that their masa is just right and not too hard or dry.

    Finally...a good restaurant on River Street! We're in Manistee about a dozen times a year and I'm…read moreso burnt out on not having good places to eat. If you're looking for good Mexican, skip 'Taco Bout It' (which is very generic Americanized Mexican fare) and go here instead! This place just opened in the old River Street Station location and it's now my favorite place around town. Authentic Mexican food and drink in a very cool "Day of the Dead" style atmosphere. Awesome custom murals and decorations inside. It was totally empty when we walked in at 3pm on a Wednesday (to be expected) so we got 1 on 1 service at the bar. Food was super fresh and made to order. The freshly fried taquitos with super fresh veggies were awesome, and the tequila drinks were solid. I'll go here again the first chance I get. I feel like some restaurants in Manistee think they're fancy but are just overpriced and the food isn't very good (lookin' at you Golden Stag and Blue Fish). Then you have second tier food at Taco Bout It, Fricanos and North Channel. The food at these places almost seem like the quality of "theme park food" (generic and not very fresh). This place, IMO, is a big step forward. Fresh and authentic, probably family-owned (that was the vibe I got), with a great atmosphere (they were jammin' some modern Mexican music videos on the tv over the bar, which is WAY better than places that play ESPN or some political news channel). I predict that, if they can last until summer and have a good business-minded owner, they'll be jam packed all summer long. Or at least I hope so because I want it to be here, and be thriving, each time we visit Manistee!

    Best restaurant in Manistee, hands down. A true taste of some of the vibrant and vital cultures…read morethat make northern Michigan so special. The food is authentic, unique, and absolutely delicious. The menu is large and has options for everyone! The prices are fair and the portions are large. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The deck overlooking the beautiful river has a picturesque view of historic Manistee, a nice breeze, and is conveniently right across the river from the live music pavilion!
