Ricardo's Méxican Restaurant — Restaurant in Norfolk

As a first timer seated ourselves in the backroom dining area, and waited a while for someone to come over. At this place you are supposed to get your own chips and dip at the nacho bar, which is different. The bar had nacho cheese but no self serving utensils...our entrees were lacking and unimaginative. Most entrees are covered in Enchalada sauce, and garnished with way too much lettuce. It is hard to distingush differences between menu items. When food came it was not really hot. Not a fan of this place, it could have been worse but not a style of Mexican food I can get behind. Overpriced for what you get. On the plus side service was not awful, but the staff seemed to be overworked dispite the fact that there were only a few others dining...

We had checked online before we got to Norfolk, and selected Ricardos to eat lunch on Saturday. Many reviews said it was clean, and I understand why as a lady was wiping down the bars on the backs of the chairs as well as the legs. Their tacos are a typical shell size but there is NO lack of meat, lettuce or cheese. My wife ordered the Super Taco meal (2 tacos, a beef enchilada and refried beans). It was too much! We ordered chips and salsa but would not do that again as they went to waste with all the food. The enchiladas were stuffed with meat but she couldn't finish it and we're big eaters. Authentic? Probably not, but made in house and tasty! We will DEFINITELY be back (drive in from Lincoln...

I don’t mind paying more because you usually get what you pay for. In this case, I paid a high price for Mexican food and got less than Taco Bell quality. The food didn’t taste like Mexican food and to pay over $80 to feed a family of 5 was terrible when:

1. I found a hair in the sour cream and they offered nothing to make up for it. People who have worked food service, know that the customer comes first, any mistakes, oops’s, or problems are met with at least an “I’m sorry!” or “Let me make this up to you!” Not here.
2. 2 of the 5 left hungry.

Not sure how they’ve gotten 4.2 stars, but WOW! I won’t ever...
