QRico Latin Restaurant-57-03 Junction Blvd

This place seems solid. I can’t comment on how the food tasted but we came in because they just opened and the service was friendly. The food is typical Latin American food- rice, beans, meats, stews. The space is decent sized with a good amount of seating available. Would be a good option if you’re looking for a quick bite

Food was ok, nothing to rave about. Moro rice unfortunately tasted like 'instant' and lacked flavor. Meat was tasty but salty. Lunch prices are different based on what meat you choose. I'd give it another try 😉. Oh and the woman serving can be a little nicer, she seemed annoyed by questions but with no menu and the restaurant being new you can expect customers to ask about prices and what items are.

Their food is typically good, but I dont understand what’s going on with the plantains. I ordered a combo 1 and they sent me black plantains. Like how do you give out food that looks like this ????

The purpose of this review is not to hate or harm this business in any way. That being said, I hope you take this review as an informative review. Atmosphere: This place is a small restaurant, clean for the most part, and you'll feel like you are in a Latin American restaurant right away. Service: So, service can vary depending on which lady is taking orders. The times I've been there, a lady has been really wonderful in every way. There are also other ladies that simply take your order with a face that expresses stress and discontent. Thus, minus one star. I really don't mind them because you see that kind of people everywhere. Overall, I can say that I haven't felt any sort of disrespect from them. I do think there is always room for improvement. Food: There is a mixture of good and not so good food here. First, let's point out the good side. The broiled chicken, which they call it baked chicken, is pretty good. Some dishes from their breakfast and daily lunch menus are good. Their sandwiches are big and good as well. Sometimes, they usually give a small free side. For example, today was a small salad, another day was guacamole, and one day, I remember they also gave corn chips. Now, the not so good side has to do with the seasoning. It might be personal preference, but they do have some dishes that are a bit saltier than others. It happened to me with a soup. Most of the food from the sideboard, except the rice, is also a bit oily. So, you can imagine who your plate will look like if you chose three things that sautéed with oil. I usually choose one and make my own salad. I also wanted to order a fruity bowl, but they didn't have it. Lastly, the portion of the rice is overwhelming too much. You have to ask them not to serve you too much rice because you end up with more rice than the two sides. Thus, minus one star. Price: Prices can range between 3.25 and 27.50. Depending on what you want and taking the factors above into consideration, I'd say prices are decent.

Pretty upset with my lunch today. Ordered chicharron and the skin is completely covered in hair. What's the point of getting chicharron if you can't eat the skin? A quick once over with a knife during preparation would have solved this problem. Usually, it's very good but I don't know what happened today. Feels like a waste of my money ****UPDATE 2/11/25 ... Definitely DONE with this restaurant. Got a small order of chicharron with white rice for $7 last week. Came in today for a small order with no rice and they charged me $11!!! The lady who charged me had the nerve to tell me my order was a medium. How is that even possible when I got the smallest container they have and a lunch special costs about that price!! See the picture!! When I questioned the price she told me she raised the prices .... Yea ok. I hope the OWNER sees this because I frequent this place often but not anymore. Go to the Colombian Restaurant across the street, at least they are consistent with their prices.
