Palace Nails & Spa By Vivian in Gilbert, AZ

El Rico's is now catering. Excellent food & service! Weddings & events. Catered our daughter's wedding. Thank you El Rico's!

Love the food,,,,,won't go back though,,,,owner is beyond rude! Sucks that in our small town he doesn't realize what "word of mouth" is a very strong thing.

I went by this location for lunch today, only to see a big CLOSED sign by the entrance. Other cars came in too so I'm assuming it recently shut down. I had lunch there 2 weeks ago. The sign said that the Gilbert location was still open.

I have now been to El Rico's several times and thought it was time to give it a review. I went last night with a small group, and had another great experience. Although I usually get the same thing when I go (shredded beef gordo burrito...2 meals in 1), it's awesome each time. They do have great chips and salsa to start off with, and everyone I've been with has always enjoyed their food. The service has always been good to great. Although it is kind of in a weird location, the building it is in is definitely unique. We've always wanted to go in the evening when it is cooler out to sit outside, but have never made it. El Rico's is its own place, which makes it cool...it's not a cookie-cutter restaurant. It's my favorite mexican place out here.

We tried El Rico's today after buying a Weforia deal a while back. I had heard great things about this place from friends and had been wanting to try it for a while. We went on a Saturday at about 11:30 am and there was only one other table in the place, but around noon the place really started filling up. The margaritas were very tasty. A little on the sweet side, but good. Chips and salsa were also very good. The chips were fresh although the salsa could have been just a bit spicier. I had a veggie burrito and it was just gigantic! Very good though and I still have half in the fridge. The BF had the steak fajitas which he said were really good. Also a very large portion so he has half in the fridge. The only thing about the fajitas are that the flour tortillas that they brought him were the big giant burrito size which made it kind of hard to make a fajita. Maybe it was just a mistake, or they were out of the smaller ones. Who knows. The other weird thing was the bathroom. It says on the door "only 1 person...please lock door" or something like that. But inside it's giant and there are two toilets....but no walls separating them...and no mirror. Strange. Anyway, our waiter was very nice and made good recommendations, which the BF just loves. We will definitely go back.
