“Our table of 4 loved everything from start to finish. My chorizos were the best I’ve ever eaten (including Spain). Dinner companion Eileen orders the shrimp in green sauce every time and is in heaven. Husband Phil’s vegetarian paella and portobello mushroom appetizer were delicious as were the table’s side dishes of green beans and carrots (perfectly cooked) and potato chips (yum). Massive entrees of which we all took portions home to enjoy as leftovers. Expert service by real waiters who knew everything and met our every dining need.“

“Shout out to Ricky's for being the last restaurant in the neighborhood to keep it real on food quality, price, and portion size.

I'd been scoping out Ricky's for a few weeks, after I noticed it by accident while walking by.

Wonderful and delicious home kitchen Puerto Rican dishes. I have no idea why this place doesn't have a line out the door all day everyday...probably because of its humble unassuming appearance.

Right now with the price gouging at restaurants and inflation, it's Exhausting going out to eat when you look at the bill.

It felt so good to sit down and have a plate if delicious homecooked food with a bottle of soda for $9.75!

Picture below is PR stew chicken w/rice and beans. Definitely will be back soon!“

“Awesome food. Family style food!!“

“Wow. Just went to this place. It was delicious. Nice people and service. Clean. I had the Colombian eggs with Chicharron and rice. Sooooo good!!! I’ll be back.“

“Seafood here was amazing—so fresh and so well done! Ordered steak as well, perhaps one of the best steaks I’ve ever tasted! From food to service to the overall ambiance, I was very impressed. The owner was so kind and personable as well! Bring family and friends because it’s not possible to have a bad night here!“

“So glad that Sanchos is back! A must go to when in bay ridge for spanish food done right!“

“"This Cuban food restaurant offers excellent value for money. The staff is friendly and attentive. However, a small limitation is that they do not accept card payments, which may be inconvenient for some customers. Overall, the experience is wonderful, but due to this limitation, I give it 4 stars."⭐️“

“The pupusas are the best in Elizabeth and the rest of the food is delicious.“

“Everything we tried was delicious. Well seasoned and cooked just right. The only issue is that there isn't a menu to look at the items and we ordered a mofongo and it was served with cheese. One of the members in our group cannot have dairy. That would be an important piece of information to share when the order is placed.“

“I order 5 Star quite often, the food is good. The restaurant is cute but, and clean. What I do want to say is that if you order bbq and request bbq sauce you may not get it. Plenty times it has happened, i comfirm its in the bag, then you check the to go bag and they hand it to you. Not nice.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level entrance, no steps.“

There's a board that shows the menu if you're new and she'll be sure to point you to the second board nearby (Grilled/fried food). There IS an ATM inside the store as they only accept cash. The food is extremely good too, thumbs up for them!“

“Really good place really good food really nice place. I didn’t end up getting the food that day that I ordered from there cause the restaurant was so packed and even though the people that worked, there were really nice the guest that they had there wasn’t too welcoming to black folks, but not the restaurants faultreally great service was willing to meet me outside and I could tell by the way the food looking smell it was it would’ve been so good“

“They have a friendly and quick staff, they know the menu very well and so far made two great suggestions that I really enjoyed. Beat Bolon we had so far in the planting to cheese and meat ratio. Hoping they Jazz it up in the future and add a cheese sauce like their competitors who don’t have that great ratio just mentioned.“

“Ordered a couple dishes from here on door dash for the first time and I am impressed! The food was absolutely delicious, not one complaint about any of it. I didn’t know what to expect because the prices are so low and you just don’t see that anymore, the chicken combo was only $9. The portions are generous and even though some of it is deep fried NONE of it is greasy. Will definitely stop by next time to try more dishes.“

“Very nice place for lunch. Great variety, and the food tastes very good. Rather cheap also. You pay by weight.The only thing I don't like much is that they only have plastic disposable cutlery. But despite this, we go there often for lunch with colleagues.“

“This is the best Spanish food in Newark . Small , quiet neighborhood place with outstanding food and professional service. the waiter turning is zero. The same waiters at the restaurant for many years. They got me to try the goat and it was excellent........even though I'm not a fan of goat.“
