Outstanding Authentic Mexican food served in a festive and friendly atmosphere
'The Taste and Spirit of Mexico'
The success of La Cocina de Ricardo is dedicated to the family tradition of excellence that began with Grandma Juana in Mixtln Jalisco, Mxico. She was the main chef of her town and would prepare the food for small and large events, from parties to weddings, making every occasion memorable. This tradition of thoughtfully prepared recipes was passed to Mamacita Alicia (the current chef and Owner), who brought all this knowledge to Southern California some 30 years ago, along with two brothers & eight kids
Ricardo, a San Clemente High School Graduate, and with his enterprising spirit inspired by his Grandpa Arnulfo convinced Mamacita to share her recipes with the Orange County people and so she did , opening their first restaurant in the middle 1980s. Ricardo, Alicia, Guillermo & Mario as well as the rest of the family, are dedicated to maintain a clean establishment, the best, healthiest and most affordable Mexican food around. We thank you for your business and consider you an important part of our family tradition.
