Rico's Restaurant — Restaurant in Hamilton

Do not recommend this place at all. If only there was a zero star to rate it, I would definitely give it a zero star! It's so unsanitary! The old lady at the counter noticed that one of the serving spoons had dropped into the food, and she just scooped the spoon up from the food with her bare hand, SO DISGUSTING! I almost threw up! Then she looked at me as if nothing happened. 🤮🤮🤮 No wonder a couple of people here who gave comments said that they got food poisoning from eating the food from this place. It's also so UNSANITARY that they serve food and handle cash at the same time without cleaning their hands in between. Yuck!!! So disgusting especially at a time like this when there's Covid!

The foods are not even that good, they are very dry and lacking taste especially the noodles, hardly any vegetables in it. The servers at the counter and people in the kitchen are unfriendly and UNPROFESSIONAL. Heard them screaming at each other because they were angry at each other for whatever reasons. No customer service skills either. Don't want to be in an environment like that where there's no respect and that shows in their low...

My wife and I were attending a wedding of her best friend's daughter this past December. We traveled from Ohio to the Hamilton area. As my wife is Filipino she wanted to find a restaurant with her favorite native dishes. We found Rico's in a Google Maps search, though didn't realize it was not a sit-down restaurant. Regardless, the selection was great and my wife was quite overjoyed to pick and choose her favorites. I am not such a huge fan of Filipino food and I don't eat seafood, but I do enjoy adobo and caldereta and Bicol Express. I will say that everything I tried from Rico's was very tasty, and my wife also enjoyed it so much. We have one Filipino restaurant near our house in Ohio, but it is so expensive and sometimes the food is not worth the price. Also, while were in Rico's standing in line my wife struck up a conversation with an older Filipino man who was a doctor in the Philippines. It was as if they had known each other for years already, but that is Filipino...

Went to Ricos for the first time Sunday April 14th. It's a small restaurant with about 36 seats . They serve Filipino cuisine there which is nice , considering theres only 2 other Filipino places to get a sit down meal in Hamilton. My family first well theres my wife...( my wife being Filipino) and myself a Canadian, really love Filipino food, TALAGA!!! I think Rico's is a nice restaurant. Its clean. The food is fresh looking and taste very nice. The food serving area( steam table & plating area are kept very clean . Polite , fast & friendly staff. Nice menu , and they rotate some food items too.. they also have a nice refrigerated show case for dessert aswell. Last but not least they do also have some breads and other items for sale aswell .
