“Food was so good, and plated beautifully. The appetizer sampler is top tier, but be careful because it's really filling. I didn't finish my entree because I got so full on the apps, lol. Great service. It's BYOB and they have a lot of nice mocktails to mix with or just to drink by themselves.“

“I was happy with the service and the food. However , we were 5 adults and 3 children and the bill was $8oo. We did not consume a lot of liquor. The appetizers and entrees were delicious but the prices were way too high;. For the family to go out to enjoy a good meal is becomes impossible to do with those prices.“

You willabsolutely enjoy whatever you order and you will always go home with a doggie bad that will never go to the doggie...lol Look at my pics. That is one order for only $34. Two people could nit finish this and portions aren't just large they are delicious.“

“I called this morning at 6am to inquire how long it would take them to make 3 dozen empanadas, for a work event, they said ten mi utes! They saved my day. The empanadas were a hit at work! They were delicious! I bought chicken, beef and cheese! They’re affordable too! Gracias! 🙏🏽 I’ll be buying from here again.“

“We recently held a family reunion at El Mesón Español, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, taking the time to explain the menu and answer all of our questions. The food was outstanding—every dish was cooked to perfection. We especially enjoyed the paella, oxtail, veal, and ribs—each one full of rich, authentic. Highly recommended!“

“A friend ordered a variety of wraps and some fried chicken for my family which was a wonderful surprise in itself. But to add to this the food was Amazing!!! Crispy non greasy moist chicken, tasty huge chicken wraps and the largest fresh shrimp wraps with fresh vegetables that I have ever seen. Give this local establishment a chance you won’t be disappointed.“

“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.“

“"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 place opens at 8am as shown on maps. The decor and atmosphere is very family friendly and cozy. Took my mom to eat and truly enjoyed the meal the restaurant offers variety of foods and delicious ingredients and it's the best place to consider to eat“

“Amazing service and food, absolutely delicious!!“

“large menus. delicious food recomiend the restaurant 100%“

“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 had the garlic chicken.Really good, but that’s beside the point. Service is extremely bad. Especially the wait time. 1/10. Waiter has a weird attitude, for no reason. Not even a hi or hello, just checked in once the whole time. Wait time felt like hours. Honestly, food is delicious but the waiter was dry and it honestly offended me. Anyway, not recommended.“

“Decided to try this restaurant after seeing the photos of the food on Google, and I’m so happy I did! The food was like homemade and so delicious! The women working there were very friendly and welcoming. I had stewed chicken, beans and yellow rice. I left satisfied!“

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

“I love the place; I have been there a few times ; service and food are excellent garlic shrimps over asparagus delicious!!!!“

“The lady and her husband are extremely nice. I go here almost everyday. 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.“

“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.“
