Q: **STAY AWAY - PAY MORE FOR CLEANER, SAFER, FRIENDLY CLINIC** Owner, Chris Marquez is a very loud, rude and a mean person. I went for a colonic on Wednesday, May 8th at 4:45pm. I called the morning of to confirm my appointment as they did not call. Chris said I could come earlier I explained (as I had the day I made my appointment that I did not leave work until 4:30pm), Chris said, "oh' that's right, that's why we have to stick around." When I arrived Chris began asking me questions regarding my water and meal intake. As I provided the requested information Chris began to talk very loudly (close to yelling), telling me I'm drinking water the wrong way at the wrong times, using flaxseed the wrong way, eating wrong, breathing wrong, etc. Chris said over and over that he is 47 years old and has been in the "business" for 12 years and he knows what he is talking about and to listen to him! He asked me over and over, "do you understand, do you get what I am saying" (I felt as if he believed me to be a complete idiot). His voice was very loud, his body language was extremely threatening and he was simply rude and mean. Chris is so mean that by the time I finally got to the colonic room (about 30 minutes later) I broke down and cried. I cried so badly his receptionist gave me a hug and said, "I'm sorry, he is rude, but he is good at what he does." This was after being told (by Chris) my "chi" was off and I must have emotional issues, so that is why I have bowel problems and I need to discuss this with my therapist (which I've never had). This is after I may have actually been able to say 10 words during the 30 minute conversation. The building has a terrible smell of cigarettes. The facility is dirty and very unsanitary. I do not and would never recommend this place to anyone...not even a foe. No one should ever have to experience what I had with Chris. His words really hurt me and I pray he learns not to speak to paying customers (or anyone) this way.

Q: "You gotta get a gimmick if you want to get ahead." Perfectly describes the edible menu situation, but at least there's talent to back it up. The Carib was the best dessert we had out of the three that my family shared. The second best was the Mt Fuji, the Sweet Raku version of a Mont Blanc. The Mont Blanc could have used a bit of a palate refresher as it was a one-note flavor profile, but it was well crafted. The Jack in the Cup was a disappointment, though - the souffle was too eggy and the banana pudding was a bit bitter for some reason. I could have used a bit more iced tea than I got, too. TL;DR: overall a bit overrated but there are some great Flavors to be had with the Carib. Jack in the Cup isn't worth the wait.

Q: Based on all the positive reviews I had to try this place. Service was good but that was it! 7.95 for a half dozen tamales. You get what you pay for! They were dry and chicken was tooooo spicy. A one time thing!!! Tried beef, chicken and chili!

Q: My friends and I just returned from Ricardo's after one of the most horrific restaurant experiences ever! The food was less than mediocre, our server was extremely rude and there was no one in management to complain about our experience. The events are: 1. No tableware for all of us. 2. Server did not know the order numbers per dish although, they are listed in that format on the menu and proudly said, "I don't use the numbers. You are going to have to give it to me by the item." After, one gave the order number again, she said, "you are giving me the order number again. I just need the items." 3. Server returned and informed they were out of certain foods and asked if we wanted substitutions which we did. However, she did not ask the person if she wanted a replacement for the soup that was out of stock and walked away. Fortunately, the person who ordered soup did not want a replacement. 4. Our drinks were not refilled until we asked our bus person (good service) and continued to supply the refills, not the server. 5. When food was ready she asked, "who got the one with two enchiladas? Who got the one with the tacos?" Very unprofessional. 6. On one order, the cheese on the beans was burnt. 7. On another order, there was sour cream although I asked for it not be included. The server questioned and doubted that I made that request. Then she said that they were too busy and the kitchen was making mistakes because of this (many, many empty tables). 6. Finally, when presented the bill, we noticed we were overcharged (the substitutions). There was an attempt to make a complaint to management but there was no manager on duty. The server wanted to speak to the person making the complaint but he was done with her horrible attitude. She then returned to our table and said, "I am sorry that my service sucked but you could have talk to me about it" as she aggressively picking up our plates. She explained why the bill was broken down but didn't bother to do this when presenting it. I explained to the above complaints and she "well, I am sorry I sucked!" Finally, we left the restaurant in a horrible mood and our server's attitude was outrageous and extremely unprofessional. Her excuses and lack of service were apparently due to their heavy business but it was not very busy at all. We do not recommend this restaurant, but highly recommend for Chef' Robert Irvine's show- Restaurant Impossible!
