Reviews Rico's Ribs & Tacos

A great family-friendly place with a wide variety of platters to satisfy even the pickiest eaters. You can choose from their traditional Mexican tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and tortas to their all-American classics, cheeseburgers, New York steak, and everything in between. One of my favorites is their shrimp cocktail; each bite delivers a spoonful of freshness and rich flavors that guarantee a unique taste. Their chips and salsa should also be an all-timer in this restaurant. The freshly made chips are the best compliment to their delicious salsa that makes you wonder if it was prepared by the inferno-burning hands of Lucifer or by the rainbow-farting unicorns sent from up above. Either way, the perfect balance is evident in each bite when you wonder why they lack the “bottomless” option for this. You can complement your meal with a delicious agua fresca. Horchata, Jamaica, and my favorite cucumber-lemon are delightful. Also, let’s not forget their amazing mangoneadas, ice cream, or shaved ice, to mention a few snack options. The prices are very affordable, and their portions are more than fair. You can always call ahead if you’re in a hurry for delivery or carry out. The staff is always friendly and courteous. I would highly recommend this place, and I hope it becomes one of Coalinga’s signature places to visit.

It's sort of hit and miss with this place. I've had make-you-crazy good food, and then I've had a few that weren't so great because they were cold or old. It is perky and fresh inside, so there's that. It's a fresh location and the parking is great. On most Mondays they serve Filipino food. And that's a treat out here on the edge of nowhere.

Very good food. Great service. Nice people. The only downfall is they started to charge for their water. They only bring you bottled water without informing you at the time of the order so you don't have a choice but have to pay for it. And it costs as much as a soda.
