Description

This restaurant has shown mixed results, with some diners praising the flavorful skirt steak, sweet plantains, and friendly service. However, there are significant concerns regarding food quality and consistency, particularly with overly salty dishes and empanadas that lack freshness. Service issues have also been reported, including order inaccuracies and longer wait times. While some customers appreciate the quick service and decent food, others urge caution due to health concerns related to sodium levels. Overall, the establishment needs to enhance its food preparation and customer communication to restore its previous reputation.

The staff at this restaurant has a horrible attitude. I came in greeted the lady at the counter and she asked me what I had wanted. I told her what I wanted then asked me to look at the menu to look at the options even though I had already told herwhat I wanted meaning she wasn?t listening to begin with. We ordered five empanadas and i had asked for pink sauce whileordering. We got our empanadas without pink sauce so then I had to get up and ask for the sauce once again. She came around andbrought us 1 sauce for all the empanadas. At this point I was embarrassed to ask for another sauce but there was no way I wasgoing to eat 5 empanadas with 1 sauce. So i got up once again and asked the lady to give me a few more sauces, she told me thatthey had hot sauces at every table and i told her I did not like hot sauce and she responded ti that saying ?so what do youwant? and I had to repeat myself once again that I wanted pink sauce and she gave me two more. As we were leaving I disposed ofmy food because I don?t like making the workers clean up after me when i could do it myself and as I walked to the trash can thelady had given me the dirtiest look as if I took her man. Will never come here again.

I would say how the food was but I can?t because I never got the food I ordered. We waited about an hour when we didn?t get it, we called. Just to be told by whoever answered the phone that our food had just left. But that was a lie because we stilldidn?t get it. 45 minutes later, I canceled with Seamless got my back. I will never again order from here and I will telleveryone I know not to order from Rico?s Chicken.

I ordered twice, rotisserie chicken and chicken rice and both times the food was too salty, specially the rotisserie chicken. If you have high blood pressure this is not the place for you.

Went here because it was conveniently located across from Flushing hospital. I ordered the fried rice with beef and chicken. Overall it was good but there was room for improvement. The sodium level was high for sure and so was the amount of onions theyused. The service was good, everyone there was very friendly. I'll go back and try another dish if I happen to be there again.
