I love coming here when I’m in town with my family for breakfast. Their tortillas are the best in town! I love that they always have specials during the week. Today we ordered the Tres Maria’s Breakfast with a side of bacon, the Avena Special, and a potato and egg taco. The specials come with free coffee. The specials came out to $7.75 which I thought was very fair for the amount of food you get. The service was okay as we had to wave down the server several times for coffee refills. We also had a roach visit our table twice so we moved tables after the second time. The server tried to kill it but it escaped. She said the exterminator was supposed to fumigate soon. There was no apology or any recourse other than trying to kill it herself. There are plenty of other Ricardo locations so we probably won’t be coming back to this one again.

The huevos rancheros here are pretty good, for $8.95 (the tortillas aren’t free)you get eggs, bacon, potatoes, fried tortilla and beans.
The eggs were perfectly cooked over medium , the salsa for the eggs was okay, the potatoes were seasoned and with green peppers and onions, the refried beans were super good, the bacon was thick but it was over cooked I prefer it still soft not super crispy.
The flour tortillas are amazing, giant sized and soft, they give you sweet bread while you wait.
Overall I would definitely recommend, they also do healthy meal preps!

They a great Mexican buffet and with some seafood. Also great menu, great food, great selection, great price and great service. If you are Hispanic you should know what the 3 B’s are, you will get it here. One of my top 5 Mexican restaurants here in Brownsville

This restaurant was an excellent find! It is tucked in old downtown Brownsville. The portions are humongous and the flavored-waters are made fresh, no powder-stirred stuff. I had the “Agua de Melón” for beverage and “Milanesa de Pollo.” Oh my Gods, it was delicious. Unfortunately, the portion was larger than I expected and had eaten their fresh tortilla chips and buffet salad earlier. But I ate the entire plate because my momma always said there’s a poor White West Virgina child unable to eat because of their lazy father and upbringing. Or something like that, I don’t quite remember the story. Bottom line, the lesson is that I eat everything placed in front of me.
I highly recommend Ricardo’s Restaurant. You will walk in hungry and walk away delighted and experiencing food-coma.

Really enjoyed my breakfast here! My plate came with a small bowl of menudo with 3 tacos de barbacoa . Staff is friendly and attentive. Parking was easily accessible (Friday morning). The prices were great; everything on the breakfast menu was under 10 dollars .

Being from Philly, I am far from an expert on Mexican food, but this place was top notch! The place was full and there was a table full of Police officers eating lunch so it must be good right?? I had the lunch buffet and everything was delicious. The staff here is very friendly and service is fast.

Idk how I missed this spot. Have been making it my weekend spot because this Ricardo’s downtown is amazing. This last Sunday I had the buffet and the two foods I had been craving were on the buffet. Menudo was soft and delicious and not chewy. And then when I went back for a bit more menudo I saw barbacoa and I had to try it and it was amazing. The staff is friendly and they come check on you and refill your drink. The vibe is great as they play some great 80s music. The photo was from the first time I went there and food is just top notch. Warning if you’re on a diet you may break it because it not only looks good but it smells good.

Love Ricardo’s!! Ricardo came by to introduce himself – so friendly and happy to meet us (Michigan winter Texans). His cooking is truly his passion! Our definite “go-to” dining next time in Brownsville!

Had to stop by after seeing a post on Facebook about Tuesday’s Special being the Italian Buffet. It was really delicious and well worth the price. My personal favorite item from the buffet was the lasagna, and the Spaghetti Sauce with meat. If you’re looking for a good lunch meal on a Tuesday, I would highly recommend going to ricardo’s for lunch/breakfast as the food is absolutely your stomach and appetite’s best friend! Will come back again
