Great Puerto Rican Chinese place. I got the pepper steak and fried rice. I didn't try any of the more PR thing like tostones. It also came with fries which was surprising. The fried rice was good and came with shrimp. Would definitely go back.
Puertorican Chinese food or Chinese food Puertorican style. That's all I have to say.
Rico Chino is one of my fav spots when I'm craving Chinese food. They have a few tables inside to eat your food but mostly everyone picks up their order. It's always very clean when I pick up my food. For this order I got the Orange Chicken, House Noodles, House Fried Rice, and Pan Fried Dumplings. Sorry there isn't a photo of the House Fried Rice because it's my favorite and I was starving I forgot to take a photo of it. When I picked up my food it was still super hot so by the time I got home I could eat it straight from the carton. The pieces of orange chicken were big and the broccoli tasted really fresh. The house noodles and house rice were packed with lots of meat, and the dumplings were fried to perfection. For the price you get quite a bit of food and their menu is a decent size. They also offer family meals with fried chicken that are a pretty good deal too.
Ordered carryout. Only ordered shrimp fried rice and French fries. I was pleasantly surprised by flavor of rice, although a tadd bit salty and dry, still enjoyed it. What I had was good enough though that I'd visit again and try some other things!
Top tier and may even put it amongst my top 5 Chinese restaurants of all time. This place offers Chinese food, mostly Puerto Rican style that include fries/tostones, both being savory sides that bolster the experience. The only reason I have to give it a 4 out of 5 is for the wait to get the food every time I go here. Between ordering and getting my food I've had to wait 30+ minutes every time so it's something I have to consider before coming here. I don't really let this deter me though, as the food is amongst the closest I can find like back home in Puerto Rico, would recommend this place to anyone itching for some good Chinese food!
