Ricky's — Restaurant in Jersey City

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...

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...

A family owned, hole in the wall, gem! This place is tiny and may seem a little sketchy from the outside but the owners were so sweet and the pernil with rice and beans was some of the best I’ve ever had. Definitely request pieces of skin because omg they were so crunchy and bursting...
