Ricarena Latin grill

Ricarena in Margate. Been about six months since we’ve last dined here, and the food is as good as ever. They’ve redecorated by removing all the vestiges of the old diner, so it looks more open. Absolutely try “Ceviche de Chicharrones,” which is fried pork belly with onions and a spicy dipping sauce, the Lechon Asado, which is dripping with juice and garlic mojo, the Lomo Saltado (Peruvian Chinese steak), and the all-day breakfast items such as the tostones with bacon, eggs, and guacamole. It’s heavy-duty pan Latino stuff from Colombia, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Peru, and other places — Chef Jose knows how to cook it all. It’s not light cuisine, so you’d better come starving. Food prices are incredibly reasonable, and the portions are huge here. Happy hour is ALL DAY LONG with 2 for 1 Margaritas and Mojitos.

Omg....we were dying for Spanish food, we are on vacation...came across Ricarena...took a chance....stopped in and WOWWW......sooo good! Coming back tomorrow for more! The food was amazing and the owner was super friendly. Great experience. 5 stars ????

margaritas tasted very limey and homemade. Yucca fries with the garlic sauce were very crunchy and flavorful. Both of our entrees were tasty as well. I love giving fledgling restaurants a go, this one is a hit!
