I judge a Mexican restaurant based on their ritas and salsa, and green sauce if they have it.. If those are good, then the rest should be fine. Then again, Los Cucos has great ritas and salsas, but the rest only gets mixed reviews at best. Go figure.
I like different places for different reasons and it all depends on what I am craving at the moment.
@donnatella: That's a good go-by. I just started out with the queso & salsa to satisfy my craving. I've been super disappointed with Rico's lately. We used to order there weekly & the past several times (every time), the orders were wrong, service was bad & food quality declined
I don't really like Los Cucos, but they do have good salsa! (Haven't tried the ritas).
@Retired_EngineerYes, hopefully they were just having an off-day! 4951
