Ricky's

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!

Best flavored food I've had since being on the East Coast this past year. I got the yellow rice, habichuela, and pernil. The skin was so crunchy, and everything was delicious. Can't wait to go back and try the empanadas and other meat. Glad I found this gem of a place

Nothing but Abuela and Abuelo love and good food here. Ricky's is a small, family owned, to-go spot with simple Spanish plates at great prices. They normally have chicken, steak, rice, beans, and empanadas. A plate for chicken with rice and beans is $8. Steak is $8. Empanadas are $1.50! They are all huge servings and deeeelish. This is true home cooked goodness and the couple here are so nice. I'll choose this spot over any other latin restaurant in the neighborhood. They keep your belly full and grandpa's positive vibes and short stories about his glory days will keep you there for a few extra minutes chatting about nothing. Just like grandpa's do. Love it!

Purchased the chicken stew with beans red rice and the steak with beans and red rice meals as takeaway.

classic rice and beans with chicken and tomato sauce, but the empanada for $1.50 are crazy delicious
