If you are looking for yummy and legit paella at reasonable prices, Rico Rico might be the answer. We decided to get Marisco that is topped with squid and shrimp. They did not scrimp on these so you get a good deal. We also got chorizo (Php275) one of their tapas offerings. Service was prompt. Highly recommended! View all feedback.
What Shania Bosco doesn't like about Rico Rico:
Being a paella lover, I was excited to try their version. I must admit that in the Philippines, their prices are considered expensive, but if you've been to other countries, especially in Europe, then the price would be okay. I was very disappointed that they serve too little for the price of P320. I'm not a heavy eater but their solo serving of the paella is not enough for me. They are way more expensive than the pa...

Since I rarely end up on this side of the Metro, I decided to try food unique to the area. Rico Rico was known to me because of the SosBolz' social media accounts. I am a fan of the couple but I was honestly disappointed with the paella. I had the plain paella negra. It was expensive for the minimal quantity of rice (the pan seemed to have just 1 layer of thinly spread rice ????) and scarcity of toppings. The taste of the paella rice itself was good but there was nothing special. I say this because I've tried a better, "siksik" sa laman, and cheaper paella place from Mega Mall. It was a full meal in itself. I was really disappointed with ricorico because having a solo order of paella made me feel like I just ate 1 order of plain rice from a fast food restaurant and I needed to order something else to soothe my hunger. My conclusion for this review is ricorico is certainly not a food court experience for everyone. It is not for those who are on a tight budget and certainly not for an average student.

I was very disappointed that they serve too little for the price of P320. I'm not a heavy eater but their solo serving of the paella is not enough for me. They are way more expensive than the paellas that I had in Barcelona. For me the food taste good but you won't get your money's worth in terms of the amount.
Would definitely have given it a 5.0 because it's really delicious but we were very upset with the serving size FOR TAKE-OUT orders. Before we ordered, we asked how big the solo serving size was, to decide whether or not we should get that or the sharing size (because we don't really eat that much so my mom and I decided to share). The staff showed us the actual serving size for the solo order and we agreed it was more than enough for us. The staff was friendly and they absolutely seemed lovely. Very excited to try it out for the first time since we've been wanting to since it opened, we went home with our take-out order. As soon as we were setting up for dinner, we were VERY disappointed to see how little the serving was compare to what they showed us! We specifically asked to look at the serving size for the solo order and this is not what they showed us! One lady who was dining in even had left overs from her solo order and her left overs are as much as our take-out order! Very much disappointed especially since this meal isn't that cheap as well compared to the order vendors. It almost feels like we got the leftovers of the lady dining in but obviously with the presentation, it's not. Posting this to warn anyone who're planning on buying take-out. Definitely give it a try, but probably dine-in instead of taking-out. ????
