Very disappointed. I come on vacation to Brownsville and I highly recommend this place, when I arrive they give us an 8 minute wait that turns into 20 minutes, when they finally give us a table they dont give us service, they leave us waiting without a glass of water or chips, They literally forgot about us

Food was good. However, we did have to wait 30 minutes to get served. The waiter didnt show any sense of urgency, took his time, a bit sluggish tending to customers. The wait staff that usually take care of customers were not there.

This place has good service, and the food is too good for the prices. I ordered a special that had chips as a starter, seafood soup, main course corn, puree, fish bread, prawns and to finish, dessert. All that for $13. I thought it was very good for the price :)

Ricardos pleasantly surprised us during our visit. The staff deserves an A+ for their attentive service; we never had to ask for anything as they were consistently on top of every detail. The food at Ricardos also stood out, We happened to visit on a sunday which apparently is not a thing but now it is.

While their food and service is very reasonable, their tortillas always look raw, and if you ask them to cook them a little more they get hard. Lots of people just don t eat the tortillas and leave then on the table. Thay need to fix this ASAP.

We ordered our food and they literally brought us whatever they wanted, they took 30 mins to bring a tortilla that should of been included in the order. Took over 45 mins for a small plate of menudo and when it was brought out there was a giant spider on the plate which I don t understand how they didn t see it. Never again will I be going back !

I ordered takeout... And they put me to make it takeaway. :S It is taken to the kitchen and prepared there, so that the diners do not see or avoid me serving dishes. It is part of the waiters duties. They never asked me if I needed anything Very delicious food.

The tortilla de harina was overcooked. The portion was on the small side compared to other places that offer similar daily specials. The potatoes were not fully cooked on the papas with chorizo side, I asked for a glass of ice water, I got tap water. Lastly, I paid with a cc, I asked if i left there was a fee, she said no but when I signed their copy it said $5.41, & I wrote in zero tip, since I left a cash tip on the table. My receipt say $5.41, but on my card statement it says $6.22? So is there a fee or not its usually 3%, which is what they charge me @ the other restaurant I go to on weekends. I tried calling but they already closed, Ill call back tomorrow

The food is good but the service is lacking. They are under staffed and/or the waitresses are too slow. We had to ask for menus to start off with. We placed our order and received our food about 30 minutes later. We also didnt get everything we ordered and we were glad they didnt charge us for it. The place is also too small and while we were there at least 5 different groups of people walked in and left because there was no place to sit.
