"The over-all restaurant was great....from the hostess to the waiter. But, the food? Not so great. My husband was still hungry when we left! That NEVER happens at our favorite Mexican restaurant! The waiter asked if he wanted the lunch or dinner portion. He said dinner. Well, if that was a dinner portion, we would hate to see the lunch time portion!!!!!oh, and TWO mushrooms on his plate of food????? Ridiculous is what it was. My meal was pure awful, the chicken was mush! Literally looked like processed baby food! We won't go back. Was to be a special treat for Mother's Day and ended being so not that ;(."

"Early bird specials are very scant with serving amounts. They are half of the size of a regular meal. I felt a little misled about what a "special" I was actually getting."

"We were very satisfied with the service, food, drinks and seating. We had a crowd of 23 people and I thought the room we were in was very spacious. Even for the kids to get up and move around a bit.(Loved the magician/Balloonist for the kids)
We had very prompt service, for drinks and ordering. (the margaritas are awesome)
Before you knew it the food was there,hot and delicious. Loved everything on my plate. Thank you so much for making my wedding Reception the best. We appreciated the wonderful service and food. Thank you sincerely for everything. We will definetly return.

"Starting going to Ricardo's about 17 or so years ago, when they were in the MGM, and followed them to their current location. They are a must, whenever we are in Las Vegas. The food is always outstanding, and the staff is always friendly."

"I hadn't been to Ricardo's in years and was excited to see that they were now open 24 hours a day to accomodate late diners. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with smiles from all the staff and noticed that all the diners were smiling too. Our food was just like we remembered it, amazing! As a hotel concierge, I am always looking for perfect locations for my guests and Ricardo's tops my list. Great portions (alcoholic drinks included) to match the great value! We will back for sure!!!"

"After being out of town for 13 years, we made reservations based on our good memories. We were not disappointed. Ricardo's margaritas are just as outstanding as I remember them. Thank you Ricardo's! Oh yes, the food was delicious too : )"

"It was great that they take reservations since the restaurant got pretty busy.I did not like that they don't make their guacamole table side.Most authentic Mexican restaurants make their fresh guacamole table side.Otherwise the service,food and drinks were excellent and we will be returning to this restaurant again and again."

"Margaritas, chips, salsas, dinner--all great--so nice to get out of the tourist traps and find a really good Mexican restaurant that did not cost an arm and a leg. It was quite a ways off the strip but worth the trip."
