Great food. Ordered the rico rico combo for the family and it filled us up so much. Will definitely be returning here again. Highly recommend.

I absolutely love this restaurant and have no problem driving over an hour just to enjoy their food. That’s how much I usually look forward to it. But this last visit left me disappointed. I ordered 5 Hawaiian empanadas and 2 chicken, and as I was eating one of the Hawaiian empanadas, I found a piece of plastic in my food. The food itself wasn’t bad, but that moment really threw me off. It made me hesitant to eat the rest, which was such a letdown, especially from a place I usually rave about.

My favorite Colombian restaurant in this area! So glad I have one so close by to me. I constantly order from here. The food is so delicious! Our personal favorites are rice & beans, skirt steak and the fruit smoothies. Highly recommend it!

Amazing food. Everything was cooked deliciously for a hole in the wall Colombian place in middle village. I did not expect this. Next time I will try the flan...I was stuffed with the bandeja paisa.

Rico Chicken Restaurant consistently delivers excellent food at a reasonable price, with a service team that genuinely listens and follows your order instructions—something many places overlook. Their yuca fries are a standout, crispy and flavorful, and the chicken cutlet is always cooked to perfection. Some items on the menu are a miss, but for the most part is good. A reliable spot for great meals and attentive service.

Food was good but not the best Spanish spot that I've been to. To stones are not to my liking and the sweet plantains aren't good. I'm also Dominican so I have high expectations. I would go here again but I've seen better. Anyways, if you aren't Hispanic I'm sure u will love it regardless. Hot sauce is on point though.

Rico’s Chicken Layout/atmosphere *Tables; three TVs Food/drink *Combo Personal #1 (1/2 rotisserie chicken, rice & beans, small salad) - OK; meat but dry towards the middle; green Aji sauce not overpowering heat; rice & beans - Good; beans had flavor; small salad - OK; too much black pepper in the vinaigrette

This is the second time I ordered from Rico’s and the rice was not fully cooked. The avocado salad is good but it is too wet with too much dressing. Also, the prices have gone way too high.

Based on the great reviews I wanted to give this place a try, have been trying to find my go to local spanish restaurant. The first thing that happened when I entered was the cashier kept telling me to take a menu. I had already known what I wanted as they have a big menu outside in their window. I was then ignored since there were two spanish men that came in after me and she went to asked them what they needed. Afterwards I told her what I wanted to order but didn't want any avocado instead could I get something else. She said salad and I said sure, I thought she meant to give me more salad as a substitute. There was probably a miscommunication. That was not the case. For $16 before tax this was one of the smallest spanish platters I have yet to receive.

Just go Jackson Heights/ Corona for your Colombian food. It’s no surprise that in this parts of Queens, things can get zesty in the blandest way possible. And unfortunately, I had the displeasure of being on the receiving end of what was low hanging fruit a racist “joke” yesterday when I went in the pick up my order. It’s disappointing because the food was decent. But the distasteful joke quite frankly ruined this establishment and my meal.

Why I given this because honestly is the key I don't like people that is not honest I when there for first time I expecific explain exactly what i want and how I wanted if you can not do it said it and I live the guy who was in the kitchen was to gentlemen's he was taken the chicken out of the racks and I told him let me get that one because it look fresh and juicy, but the lady at the register she said we have to sale first the one on the counter that being out from over night she. Said it needs to be sale first but I told you can give it to someone else if you want but I want that one the one the man was removing from the racks he told her the lady want this one ,, not that one the one she wanted to give me it was already serving on plate to go was cold and very burnt they make believe they was given me the one I requested he put it on a to go plate and he put it on top of the one I didn't want and she pull it real fast inside the bag thinking that I didn't relies the move that just did ,it told her and they all look at me and the two men started laughing because of what she did first of all I was paying for it ,it wasn't free why not given me what I wanted or request, she doesn't have no customer skills that is the reson people business get slow and make no money because people with no morals and respect why make it so difficult and thinking that I was stupid and not knowing what she just did i don't understand why she refused to give me what I ask also she have a attitude and I believe she needs to go home and get another job i will never give my money to that place and I also will tell friend and relatives not to go there poorly nasty business status And also she put soooo much dressing in the salad that was real saggy all watery horrible real horrible that food wasn't for me some send me to buy it it was pretty embarrassing..

Would like the manager to reach out. Work in the neighborhood. I experience Has been amazing but lately I’ll place order for pick up. They give me a time for the order and when I show up the order is just being put in. And it’s something as simple as empanadas. Would love to personally speak to the manager as this does not fall on the employees it’s mainly the chef just sitting around and waiting to be told to do this work

I really liked this place, but the quality has gone downhill and it is way too expensive. It is advertised in the picture as 1299 for a whole Chicken when that is not the price and that is the price for a meal that used to be 899. The bandeja paisa I ordered was sad. The size of the piece of steak I got was ridiculously small . This place is really gone downhill. They don’t even pour the sauce cups to the top anymore. I understand times are tough and everything is expensive but the least they can do is properly advertise.

The woman on the phone doesn't know anything about customer service. Terrible!!! The service was better some time ago. We are a family who has been loyal to this restaurant for 4 years, but lately the food is burnt and the service is horrible. Many people go to a Colombian restaurant for the service, but here they don't know about that. Please don't buy here.

I ordered a skirt steak Med-Rare and the steak came super well done. It’s all burnt and I paid $32 for this. Super disappointed. I don’t like my steak cooked a lot, which is why I ordered it Med-rare.
