Established in 1979, Ricardo's, a family run restaurant, has now been serving Las Vegas for well over twenty five years. Operating on Flamingo and Decatur in the Renaissance Center West, it is just two miles away from the Las Vegas Strip.

Ricardo's has been voted Best Mexican Restaurant twenty one times by the LV Review Journal and AOL has honored Ricardo's as the City's Best Mexican too. Known for their spirit, quality and consistency, Ricardo's serves authentic and creative Mexican foods rich in the flavors of Northern Mexico and the American Southwest.

Ricardo's boasts of an enterprising team of employees who are close knit and enjoy their work. This feeling of oneness translates to exceptional service.

The chefs have their roots in native Mexico, enabling them to blend authentic recipes with a unique and creative flair.

Mexico has antojitos which are starters very similar to the Spanish tapas, or the Middle Eastern mezze. The word 'antojitos' literally means little cravings, and these are usually made from corn meal and then deep fried. There are also the French style crusty rolls called teleras and wheat flour based sincronizada and gringa. There are times when antojitos can be in the form of pozole or soups, while at others, they are chillies or jalapeños stuffed with different fillings.

Ricardo's also offers the popular nachos supremos, which has fresh chips topped with beans, ranchera sauce, and melted cheese, topped with onions, tomatoes, and chillies. Garnished with guacamole and sour cream, one can also add beef or chicken to make it more interesting and filling.

No Mexican meal is complete without chilies, so do sample the Colorado-tender sirloin cooked in red chili with onions, chilies and spices, or try the chili verde, diced pork cooked with onions, chilies, tomatillos, and seasonings, served in a tortilla shell with rice and beans.

How about a Mexican pizza? A large, flat flour tortilla that is made crisp and topped with melted cheddar cheese, with diced tomatoes, olives and onions sprinkled on the top. You could also request for a garnish of guacamole, sour cream and jalapenos to create a pizza just the way you like it. So go ahead, look forward to a palate and heart warming experience by enjoying the friendly service at Ricardo's; find out more about this highly original Mexican restaurant from their Website.

The décor is all urbane-chic with stylishly upholstered chairs and sparkling cutlery completing the picture.

The menu spans more than 20 signature dishes and André Rochat's stamp of approval is essential before a meal reaches the table. The chef's pedigree shines though starters of chilled Australian lobster, blackened bison carpaccio and melon studded foie gras terrine. A main course of Peking duck duo is bursting with flavors, where leg stuffed with pistachios is cooked sous-vide, and is accompanied by pan-seared marinated breast of duck and brandied sour cherry sauce.

The wine list features legendary classics from the highly acclaimed Burgundy and Bordeaux areas in additions to bins from the New World, Italy and Spain.
