Great food, friendly servers. Don't expect glitz and glamour. This is a hometown, mud on your boots, hole in the wall eating joint.

I've been going to Rico's since I was a child, there food is always good, and the owner is nice he always makes sure his costumers are always being served well

Food is always great & service was friendly & great as well! Always enjoy my meal at Cafe Rico!

This is my favorite restaurant in Eastland County. It is always consistently good and it just has, to me, a nice atmosphere.

Fantastic food! The owner Richard is a hoot! Great staff! Love my Rico's!

This place has been a staple in my family for as long as I can remember. The food is great and, as always, friendly service

Great food!!! I could eat here everyday for the xhips and salsa alone! Their chile rellenos are handmade and my favorite meal! Be sure and ask for the green sauce!!

Come here everytime I have to make a business trip to Eastland. Very friendly staff. Great food. Never had a bad meal here. Highly recommend the Adobada Burrito with Queso.

We are from out of town and the lady that served us was so nice 👌 we ordered street tacos and they weren't on the menu but she made it happen! Thank you we will be back

Got off I20 on a Sunday to find a place to eat. Just happened to see this hidden gem! Friendly waitresses and owner. Food was excellent!!

This place, Cafe Rico, is ALWAYS GOOD!! Homemade food from family recipes, a big Thank You to Richard's Mom, :)) Richard, his family and staff take pride in serving their friends and customers, delicious home style food, reasonably priced. You won't be disappointed, laughing, unless they are closed. Check the hours of operation before heading there :))

My favorite Mexican Food in Eastland! Several items there are faves... their queso is wonderful. Their Ricos nachos are fantastic. I love their quesadilla plate [especially chicken fajita ones with the grilled peppers and onions]. They have a wonderful santa fe plate that has stacked enchiladas. My husband loves the Ricos burrito and my daughter loves the chili rellenos and the cheese enchiladas. Service is great.

My wife loves this place. Good food and service is great. We got there at 1:50 pm and they closed at 2. We didn't know this. They seated and served us anyway. We go back for sure.

Stopped here while traveling from Weatherford to Odessa and started to leave since it was so crowded. SO glad we didn't! Friend had cheese enchilada plate with queso and I had beef enchilada plate with queso...We both cleaned our plates, BEST enchiladas we've ever had! Worth a stop! Service wasn't real great and building in need of repairs but the food made up for it...

My favorite Mexican food restaurant since I have moved back to Texas. The owners are friendly. Food is great and i love there salsa. Only bad thing is they close at 2:30 then reopen for evening dinners and they are closed on Monday.

Delicious food and great service. Price is comparable to anywhere you might go. May as well spend it at a locally owned business. It means more to them. I was driving through but if I come back that way I will eat here again.

I wouldn't say authentic Mexican, more like Tex-Mex. Regardless, extremely attentive and courteous staff. Food was great (ordered the prime rib). Can easily have a conversation with another table or the staff.

My wife is pregnant and this is literally her favorite place to eat. I'm Hispanic too and I'm from dallas, where theirs lots of authentic Hispanic places. We moved to Eastland to get away from the violence and I was praying they would have an authentic Hispanic food place around her. Well Rico's is probably the best one

This restaurant has fantastic food, and the best service. This is my "go to" place for Mexican food. The green chile sauce is absolutely fabulous. Five Stars, Rico!

In town for meeting. Rolled by Rico's and decided to try it. So glad we did. Nathan was our server and was super friendly and attentive. Made some recommendations. The adobada taco with crispy FLOUR tortilla was one. So good and plenty of flavor (resembled birria seasoning). Salsa is awesome too. Next time in town will be back for sure.

The salsa is great! One of the best salsas I've had. I had the Chile Relleno and tamale plate. It was on point. If your ever in Eastland definitely worth a stop to check it out.

Wonderful dinning experience. Very friendly customer service, food came out fast and the taste was perfect. I would definitely dine here again and recommend it to others. Very nice cafe experience that is good for the whole family.

best food in eastland i think the owner is so sweet mr rico i just love that place the food so so good chips and salsa 10 out 10 they give you a lot of food

In town to visit wanted some breakfast and this place came up. Richard was very hospitable and inviting! Not only did we get some delicious food, we also felt like we were part of the family. Amazing

I’m from Dallas and I wish this place was located near me. I have been there at least 20 times, on my way Heading down I20 west. I have never once had a bad meal. I love their food, the chips, and their salsa. The service and food at most of the Tex-Mex places near me has gone downhill food is cold, no taste. I highly recommend this if you want some good Mexican food.

Friendly folks and good Mexican food. As a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised when my waitress, Sharon, informed me the green sauce I asked had pork in it. I’m not used to people being that thoughtful, especially in rural towns where they usually look down on vegetarians. Red sauce it was and it was delicious. Chips and salsa were good (not the best I’ve ever had but it did the job). Place is bigger than it looks from the front. Could be good for groups. When your table is done, just go up to the front and pay the cashier.

The staff is VERY friendly and have been very attentive. Not too busy, but it’s 1:15 on a Tuesday, so that’s to be expected. I had the hamburger steak, and it’s one of the best I’ve ever had. A very good meal! Very happy I chose to take a chance on this gem!

Most Mexican Restaurants professing to be authentic Mexican food really aren't, BUT Cafe Rico is the real deal! Most of the imitation Mexican Restaurants add WAY TOO MUCH vinegar to their hot sauce. NOT Cafe Rico! Theirs is the REAL thing! It tasted like the sauce did that i ate as a child! The tamales and frijoles were EXCELLENT! i've not eaten authentic Mexican food like this since i was a child!

Went there first time. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I loved the hot sauce. If you leave here hungry it's your own fault. It's not a fancy place just a little hole in the wall place. You will love the food you can't go wrong.

This place is just great richard the owner is always nice when we go in. His staff is always checking on you. And the food has never been bad. We got fajitas for two and they were hot and fresh as they set them down. It was delicious. They definitely have my business again.

Excellent traditional Mexican food and great service. Stuffed peppers and nachos were great and the beef enchiladas in red sauce with rice/beans is outstanding (I’ve had this dish many times and Rico’s is a top 5). If I lived in the area I’d frequent this place often. BYOB

Good food the building is a little run down but food was good prices reasonable

We always feel very welcome and the food is good!

Good Mexican food . Drive 60 mile round trip to eat there

Good food nice portions locally owned

The food was wonderful ( even tho the order was not what we ordered) it is fair priced

The food is amazing, staff are courteous and well mannered, the atmosphere is comfortable

The meat was very good and juicy, the sodas came in large clean cups, and the waitress was really nice

Hometown feel a good place to go to after church the owner is one on one with the customer

Decent food service wasn't all that great but overall it's ok

Food was delicious. Very nice staff, but no Margaritas

I don't like the restaurant very much their food is good and the prices are fair staff is friendly bathrooms great only drawback is they open so late it would be nice if we could get lunch there that's the only reason I didn't give him 5 stars

Good food and service. I've known him for years and use to take care of his plumbing too. Very nice person.

Food was was good even though I did not get what I ordered. Service slow but they were busy Would eat there again

Food was great Brown had shredded chicken salad yummy, I had beef enchilada and rice will go back again.service was good

Best food and best prices...friendly service...only negative for some is location does not serve alcohol.

Food is usually good and they have great prices! Building needs maintenance and repairs and interior needs work. But overall we enjoy eating here! Owner is very kind!

Their food and service is great, good friendly people. ☺️ The only thing keeping me from putting 5 Stars really, is most of the times that we try to go there they are closed. 😕

We went on a Sunday and the food was good and the restaurant was busy.

Great food, the "help" is spot on with service and smiles. Prices aren't bad either. The place is older & is showing its age. This is a jeans & t-shirt place, brightly lit, kinda noisy, family friendly. Eastland counties best kept secret!

Service was fantastic; great wait staff. Food was very run of the mill.

The food was alright. I loved the service more. She was very sweet and kind.

Super nice folks, good food. The restaurant itself is pretty rough, needs updating, flooring etc. No margaritas or alcohol.

Food was average at best, nothing to really brag about. Years ago is was the best Mexican food around, Taco Bell serves way better than they do now. Inside is outdated and in serious need of renovation.

I eat here quite often. The hours are a bit odd, I think they are closed Mondays and some other times. The staff is friendly and service is quick. The food is cheap and of average quality. Not the kind of place you take a girl on the first date but my wife and I have been together 30 years so we've eaten worse.

Waitress could have been more attentive. We had to steal silverware off another table after our food was served. We ask her for some but, she just said she would replace it later. Food was Good though. Different from most Mexican Chain Restaurants.

Slow service. No one seated us. Waitress staff absent most of the time. Food not great.

Customer service sucks and the food is really bad no flavor

The food is very bland and doesn't have any mexican flavor.

Food was stale, tasted like it was microwaved, the man we talked to was very rude and threatened to file criminal trespassing on my husband for letting him know the food we got was bad! defiantly will not be back anytime soon!!

I'm pretty positive I got food poisoning from this place the other day...i will never go back here

Says it is open, 4:30 on a Saturday. My husband and I LOVE the food here, we drive 30 miles just to eat here... but not open on Saturday when the sign and google both say open 4:30-9. Super upsetting.

There food use to be good years ago. I havent ate there in years went there on valentines day woth my fiance. There food was groos it tasted microwaved. I orded a chili relleno plate. The chilli relleno tasted like it was frozen the put it a fryer the rice was mushy and the beans tasted a few days old. The waitress was bice though. But i wont be going back. The old cooks must not work there anymore

Don't waste ur money here. Got some fajita the onions were not pulled right. Sound something to the owner. He got mad and told me to get out yelling at me. No wonder no one comes in. Not worth the money.

The owner is extremely rude and unprofessional. He asked if I wanted to leave a tip. I said yes and told him how much. He started making very rude comments like: I wouldn't clean the table for that much, you should stay home to eat, I'm just telling you how I feel. He had no idea if money had been left on the table or not by other members of my party, nor was it his business. I've had several people tell me that they won't eat there anymore bc he's rude. I will not be returning.

I went for the menudo and it was not not all that chicken fried steak was dry and had no flavor silverware was dirty... I would not be coming back!

Cannot answer for the food, didn't make it that far. We were ignored when we entered so we eventually seated ourselves. After waiting a while I approached the man at the cash register and explained that we seated ourselves and asked for a menu. He said it would be a while and proceeded to rudely point around the restaurant and say that there are other customers to consider. We decided to leave since he was so rude. The restaurant was not packed either. Rude. Just plain rude.

Our bill was not ever 40$ and left a 15$ tip. They charged our card 105$
