Hubby wanted to try their food, I told him I had read bad snd good reviews. We decided to check it out. We waited a bit which was no biggie, the problem was when we got out food, #1 and #6 mine (#1) was ok, (#6) my hubby’s plate the chicken was spoiled. I notified waitress she I notify waitress she asked how we knew, I told her taste it, she said she would notify She said she would notify, the kitchen It turned out that we were charged for the food. Their excuse was that that was a very popular plate and they make it on a daily basis. WTH the chicken was spoiled, not going back!!

If you love Chinese cuisine, this place is a must-visit! The service was outstanding—our server was knowledgeable and polite, providing us with a great dining experience. The food was bursting with flavor, especially the Mongolian beef, which was tender and packed with spice. The ambiance was a true highlight, with traditional Chinese lanterns and wood accents giving the restaurant a warm, welcoming feel. The perfect place for a family dinner or date night. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

This used to be a good place. They have gotten lazy with their food. Fried Rice has been substituted with Mexican rice.

I recently visited Rico's Food Place, and overall, the experience was good. However, the space is quite small for the number of people they accommodate, making it feel cramped. For me, this is a downside since I prefer having private conversations and dislike overhearing others.

On the positive side, the customer service was efficient — my food arrived quickly, though the staff seemed very busy. As a result, I had to call them for most things, as they didn't have time to check in with customers individually.

I’d recommend this spot for a quick lunch or takeout. The food was flavorful, offering a unique Mexicali twist on Chinese cuisine. I tried the teriyaki chicken and fried rice, both of which were delicious. The wonton soup, however, lacked flavor, though they provide sauces to adjust it to your taste.
