    Southwest Chicken Salad A+
    Jennifer J.

    As always, food was delicious. This is one of our go-to's when family & friends come to visit. 6 of us ate and every person thought their food was delicious. That scallop poboy should be on the menu ALL THE TIME. It was amazing! My kiddo loved the Southwest Chicken Salad Special. My husband's Royal Rooster was as good as ever. Our family all loved their food too. Staff was great. The cozy converted gas station sets a great hometown vibe. We always have a great experience. Thank you for continuing to WOW us with how awesome you are! Never change!

    Wow wow wow!!! This place is always stellar. This is the Brunch apothecary's sister restaurant (located in Dacula, another must try brunch spot!) and once I heard that, I knew I had to run over here. Ambiance: smaller homey space with limited parking. Service: not bad, very attentive, nothing out of the ordinary. Food: delicious, flavorful, just the right amount of creativity. I had the ahi tuna sandwich special. It had seaweed salad, pineapples and a sauce. It was the perfect amount of flavors that complemented each other. Overall this place is such a win! It's a must try.

    We went at 3 PM for a late lunch, early supper, so we were seated promptly. We asked what the vegetable of the day was, and there were 3: Cole slaw, salad, or sweet potato tater tots sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. My husband got their Royal Rooster chicken sandwich with salad, and I got a Cuban sandwich with salad. (Sandwiches come with house-made chips, so getting a different side comes with a small up charge.) The salad was enormous, but very good! We've been to Rico's many times, and still enjoy the colorful photos on the wall. The service was great, and we'll of course be back again soon!

    I LOVE their specials! This blackened Salmon on saffron rice was perfection! It's offered some days as a special. We got a seat outside I was a beautiful day. We also got the Chicken Cuban with the house chips. Always a favorite from their regular menu.

    Crème brûlée!

    Ok , on our way to the mountains we wanted something different ! Found them on YELP! Man this place is FIRE! The fried green tomatoes were great as was the Hungarian Goulash soup! The Hummingbird drink was great if you like Lavender Simple Syrup. My wife does so she liked it - I don't so it still tastes like soap to me as all things lavender and cilantro do! But she enjoyed hers. My IPA Ace Pear Cider was great! The portions are not ridiculous but large for a semi-gourmet class of food. If you're within 10 miles I highly recommend it... maybe 20! AND!!! (Drum roll please!) They were sold out of all desserts except... my wife's favorite... Crème Brûlée !

    We absolutely love Rico's world kitchen, and it is our go to! The fried green tomatoes are soo good as are the lumpia and chicken sandwich. We drive from Loganville just to grab their food and it is so worth it. I do not care for their desserts but the food is great without adding any additional seasoning. At this point we have tried most of the menu and I can only complain about the dessert. So worth it! The servers are fast and efficient and the location is the cutest cozy spot ever.

    Wednesday Lunch. We enjoyed being back here again. Our waitress was very good for lunch. We got there as they opened at 11 and walked right in. She had the french onion soup and I had the strawberry salad with grilled shrimp added. That salad was very tasty, fresh, and cold. We enjoyed being here again.

    It was absolutely adorable. The food was amazing and the server was nice . Parking kind of sucked if you drive a pick up truck there's no room. You could park at the church if you have to but everything else was really nice.

    Soooooo yummy!! You can definitely tell a Chef runs this place... you really can't wrong with anything on the menu. And be sure to check their FB page daily for the lunch and then the dinner specials

    It's an easy place to miss if you're not looking for it. A renovated gas station, auto service shop. Really good food.

    So this restaurant popped up in a "Best Vegan Restaurants near me" Yelp search... looking at the menu i see NOTHING that is Vegan... what am I missing here?

    Hi. I’m not sure how we got labeled a vegan restaurant; however, we try to accommodate all of our guests. We are able to make dishes that are vegan, but they are limited to our salads and modified sandwiches. Rarely do we have an entire special… 

    Visiting in the past, we were somewhat inconvenienced by the fact that Ricco's doesn't take AmEx, which is the only card we carry. Has that changed?

    We now accept AMEX. We hope to see you soon.
