Rico's Mexican - Midlothian

Having moved here recently from Hanover, I tried 5 different Mexican restaurants before I found Rico's. The food is great, beef dishes are not overcooked which is a common complaint of mine. But, I need to talk about the salsa. Some people enjoy eating salsa and tortilla chips. I enjoy eating salsa and the tortilla chip is merely a utensil for shoveling tablespoons of salsa in with every bite. Rico's salsa is PERFECT. If you taste a salsa and immediately taste lemon or onion, that salsa is imperfect. Lemon and onion are part of the recipe, but they shouldn't be leading the flavor parade. Cilantro should barely lead in flavor. (Sorry you Neanderthal Cilantro haters! Rico's salsa is blended perfectly medium between too chunky and too watery to have a uniform, homogonous flavor, texture and body. (See salsa heap in spoon picture below . We buy extra large salsas with our meals to use at home for almost anything!

We have enjoyed dining at Rico's for many years. Their food is consistently excellent and the portions are large. We never leave hungry.

We've been to Rico's several times now and every trip is a delight. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Food arrives quickly and we've greatly enjoyed everything we've tried, from their large menu. One note dishes with the spicy tomatillo sauce are not for the faint of heart. Where else can you get a giant margarita for $5? Rico's is my favorite Mexican place, hands down.

Good family fun place. Food is good and the service has always been good
