La Cocina De Ricardo - Lake Forest

I still have not received my points from this restaurant. I went on 1/26 1/28 have not received points from either visit.

Love the food and staff. But they have trouble accepting open table reservations. Someone needs to educate them. Everytime I have to call open table because I don't get my points.

Nice little find I'm always looking for places to take my 88 year old Dad to in the Laguna area so he can get away from his board and care facility. Online reviews were good so we checked it out they were open for New Years Eve. Not fancy in a strip mall, but the food and service were very good and although Mexican food is not my favorite in general, I really liked my meal, and my folks did as well. I have already recommended it to my brother for when he is in the area. Big menu, lots of choices, reasonable prices. I am sure we will go back. One caveat we had to change our reservation time and I did it on Opentable but the restaurant didn't get the update so if you need to modify your reservation it sounds like a phone call works better.

When we arrived there was a Seat Yourself board which defeated the purpose of using Open Table......

Second visit....we waited a while to order and for our food and it wasn’t right when we got it....it’s decent food but not as hot (heat not slice) as we would have liked. Beans and Rice were lukewarm. Chips, salsa and margaritas were decent....prices are fair...we will try breakfast....wanna give it a chance as we have only been for dinner twice.
