Rico's Mexican Grill

My family and I eat here just about every Sunday after church. They staff knows us and greets us with a smile always. If there is a Sunday we miss they notice , the next time we come in they say welcome back. Not only is the food great but so is the service and atmosphere . Coming here is the highlight of my week .

Came in for late lunch/ early dinner. Sat at a table immediately. Our server was attentive and prompt. Food was good for the price, everything came out hot and tasted food. Mango margarita was a hit. Chorizo dip was the star of the show. Great for a casual dine!

Finally went out for my birthday dinner. We just moved to Mechanicsville over the weekend, my birthday was Saturday but we were not able to visit the restaurant over the weekend. Today we did and I'm so happy we did. The food was above and beyond our expectations, my husband could not stop dancing with every bite of his Steak a la Mexican because it was exactly the correct spicy 🥵 to it. My T-bone steak with vegetables was super, the table guacamole 🥑 is a must have. Mauricio did an outstanding job but barely towards the end of our meal we felt rushed by the other waiters but by Mauricio he was great. We even order steak and chicken fajitas to go and had the cheesecake dessert, the dessert was not my favorite but I'm glad I did not visit for the desert. We will be back because this is so f

Very fast service and a great vibe at Rico's, but our burritos were very sloppy and messy and drenched in a cream sauce and tomatoes that made it impossible to pick up. Our hands were coated in the white sauce and we would have been better off eating the burritos with knives and forks. The burritos also fell apart after first picking them up. The chicken salad wasn't too bad. Wouldn't recommend Rico's.

First and last time going to this restaurant was a few weeks ago. It started out fine, I let them know I was waiting for a friend I hadn’t seen in a bit. She was shown the table as soon as she arrived. Great. Where it went downhill was the service and my order. We both had waters to drink. The waiter came by at least 4-5 times to specifically refill her glass. Not once did he ask me nor check to see if my glass was empty (it was). Never gave me eye contact. Next was the fact that I ordered carne asade street tacos. I was given ground beef. I know the difference between the two. I chose not to send it back or say anything. I simply finished a great conversation with my long lost friend, paid the bill for both of us, and left. BUT I do not recommend this restaurant.
