In Short – Though mini-chains of Tex-Mex restaurants are as prolific in Houston as oversized trucks, Rico's promises regulars a family atmosphere and dependable Mexican dishes. The decor features all of the requisite kitsch, but it's the cheap margaritas and the sizable menu that keep the locals coming. The menu offers classic fare including enchiladas, cheese-topped combo platters, sizzling fajitas and oversized burritos, plus grilled or sauteed shrimp, red snapper, mahi mahi, baby-back ribs and even quail. There's live music on weekends.

Great fajitas
by sarahLouise1980 at Citysearch
My Husband and I live right up the street from Rico's and I could have asked for a better local Mexican food spot. The chips and salsa are only average/good but the fajitas are great! We usually get the Rico's combination fajitas and the sauce on top of the huge amount of vegetables and meat is almost better then Papasittos.
The staff is mostly very friendly and attentive with the exception of a few grumpy hostesses. But I do agree with some of the other postings that the guitar playing is way too loud on the weekends.
Overall though this restaurant is one of the best local places in the area and if you are considering going there to eat, stop thinking and just go. :-)
- Pros: Really good food
- Cons: too loud on weekends

This place is great!

I can't understand anyone not liking Rico's food! Remember Ninfa's? Well, if you get Rico's Taco's (the ones with the fajita beef or chicken in the soft flour tortillas), I promise they taste just like Ninfa's! The beans and rice are very good too and I don't even usually eat the beans and rice! Their prices are really good too and you get a huge amount of food! Their flour tortillas are just like Ninf'a's ' they are very thin and slightly floury and taste wonderful with just some butter on them, too! Their bacon wrapped shrimp isn't as good as Pappasitos (but what is?), but it is very tasty. Their chips are very thin, the salsa is rather ordinary but pleasant. Their queso is quite good and you get a really large bowl even if you ask for a small order. Anyway, my husband and I eat here at least once a week and the manager, Cris, knows us from his past restaurants. In fact, we plan on eating there again tonight! I highly recommend it.
- Pros: Great food, easy parking, easy to get to, very inexpensive!
- Cons: Typical Mexican restaurant atmosphere. Kind of loud on weekend nights.
