I'd always passed by this place but never knew what it was. It was a cute little hole in the wall. My wife and just wanted to get drinks, which were delicious, and ended up going for some of their empanadas, which were also delicious. Drinks are good, food options are a little small, but all in all was a great spot.

Great pop-up, ambiance was done very well. Drinks were fun! Food was a little average and would have appreciated more room- they crammed as many tables as they could in. With customers within a foot of each other.

Rum lover? Foodie? Love unique atmosphere? You must run to Ricardo's. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with smiles and a warm welcome. We were asked if we've been there before and as it was our first time, our amazing server walked us through the entire experience. You must try the Plaintain Chips and the YAM FRIES... and if you don't order the short ribs you are missing out on taste bud party of epic proporations. Love the food, love the cocktails, love the ambiance and the high-level of customer service. 10/10 Fans for LIFE!!!

My partner and I came for our anniversary celebration and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our server, Adam, was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. A special thanks for the complimentary Pina Colada with the umbrellas, in addition to the bendy heart straws; it definitely made the moment more memorable! We had the fish tacos, tuna ceviche and the Maui Short Ribs as a main; everything was 10/10! Delicious food and a relaxing, cozy ambiance. We requested a corner booth outside and found it was nice and private and very much enjoyed our time. Highly recommend the Key lime Surprise cocktail or the Mojitos!! Both delicious! Once again, thank you for your hospitality and compliments to the chefs, bartenders and amazing staff!
