Rico's Restaurante Bar

Rico's Restaurante Bar operates on Blvd. Costero at the escolleras of Playa Miramar in Ciudad Madero, combining a seafood menu with a fuller bar program than most of the neighboring beachfront stands. Camarones a la diabla, coctel de camarón, and filete empanizado anchor the menu, served in generous portions built for a long beach afternoon. The setting is outdoor and beachfront, with covered seating areas that provide some relief from the sun while keeping the ocean and breakwater views, giving it a livelier, more social feel than a purely functional seafood shack. The bar side is a genuine draw, with a wider selection of beer, cocktails, and mixed drinks than most Playa Miramar seafood spots, making it as much a beach bar as a restaurant on weekend afternoons. Reservations can be made by phone, which is useful for larger groups during peak season, though most visitors arrive as walk-ins; hours vary seasonally, running longer in summer months when the beach draws bigger crowds.
