Ricardo's Mexican Foods

Pretty good but definitely not authentic Mexican, or even Tex Mex. Service was nice and food came very quickly! I would compare the food to Mexican Villa in Springfield so if you like that place then you'll probably like Ricardos as well.  I did like their new location off the square.

How do you call this mexican food?  I ordered a beef burritto and got a tortilla filled with chili and topped with chili, sorry folks thats not a beef burritto.  My Wife ordered a taco and she got a pita filled with chili, again sorry folks pita does not equal mexican food.  They need to change the name to Richards snack bar, thats about the quality of the food.  I do have the say the service was excellent but I still cant give it more than 2 stars because the food is horrible. Here's a start <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2F286xpxl&s=9112149b5420816d57873dce3fd556cb20d7b8e2d5c74fde08681d9b09964e0c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/286xp…</a>

Sorry to have such harsh criticism but I am from california and know what real mexican food is supposed to taste like.

Excellent food, friendly service!  A small, privately-owned restaurant with very loyal clientele, recently changed management when the former server bought out the owner-and-cook.  Cindy has made a few changes but the food is as good as ever (and I'm picky!) and added some menu items.  The best thing ever is when you walk in and they have your drinks ready before you even pick a table, just because they REMEMBER you.

And, because the food is prepared right here and not from mixes or pre-packaged heat-and-serve kits, they know what's in it -- important if you have food allergies as so many do.
