This is more of a fast-food/diner sort of place, not fine dining. Given that, the food is delicious and the service is wonderful. They have a wide selection of Cuban and S. AM dishes. Also, they provide an array of yummy sauces. I love their Cuban sandwich. The marinated pork is wonderfully flavorful and tender. Skip the fries, there are much better sides. Thomas was super nice and accommodating. They really care!

Hands down one of the best bowl places I’ve been to. Fast, fresh and with the quality of a sit down dinner. I ordered a Paisa Bowl and the quality was outstanding. Tomas/Thomas, who took our order and catered to us made the experience quick and friendly. Real Latinos cooking real food. Looking forward to returning!

Rico! Is a great place for a quick, healthy, light meal that stands out from the rest. The menu is varied and has many options for picky or adventurous eaters. We got a tropical bowl and a build your own burrito with a side of plantains. It was great all around and the atmosphere was fresh and fun. It's priced affordably and the quality is awesome. We'll definitely be coming back for more whenever we're in the area.

Food was great, all the employees were quick to attend even if they were busy with other things, they have outdoor seating which was perfect cause we had our dog. My husband and I shared the Latin Bowl with chicharron since we weren’t very hungry and we still couldn’t finish it all! You Definitely get your moneys worth, if we ever have to do a quick pass through Georgia again, we will definitely be stopping here
