We took a random turn off the freeway to change drivers and stumbled on a little food truck food court. Ricky's offers BBQ ribs and I love BBQ ribs so I had to give it a try. I grabbed the 3 rib combo with two sides for $25. The baby back ribs were smoky and the BBQ sauce was on the sweeter side, which made it like meat candy. I love meat candy. The sides were delicious also, Mexican rice and cowboy beans were very flavorful. It also comes with garlic bread. Casual. Seating available. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

We ordered 2 take out meals today, one was the 2 ribs and chicken combo with 2 sides and bread. See the picture of what we got for $22. No ribs and plain cooked chicken. We also ordered a taco plate that came with no toppings even though we were told it would have toppings for $17. I know everything costs more now but the total was $47.00 and for that we got the wrong order and bland food. I cannot recommend this food truck. It's too expensive for what it delivers. I wish I had opened our orders when we picked them up. Now I will always check. read more

So sorry I've been away for a while my fellow fooodies!!! Just been dealing with mental health and stuff but today my wife and I wanted to come out and try a friend of mine, families food truck!! And l try my best to not be biased so I'll give my most honest review To start off my wife got the Quesabirrias! And she loved them! Little problem was... she did find a hair in it but that didn't dissuade here from trying and loving the dish! The consomè did not have much flavor and was lacking that good kick of dipping it in and soaking up all the juices but the quesabirria itself was crunchy and cheesy and it had a nice balance! For myself I got the tritrip sandwich! And let me tell you... it was AMAZING! The triptip was tender and very flavorful! Still crispy and the bread was toasted just right! The bbq sauce was delicious! Not too sure if it's homemade or store bought but still amazing nonetheless. The chef/owner is very kind and very welcoming! Will definitely be coming back! read more

Went yesterday to try this place for the first time, but left without purchasing. The menu prices have been covered with black tape. When I inquired about the cost of a rack of ribs, the gal told me $45. For one rack of ribs??? Trail Dust charges $39/rack and this morning, I checked Ricky's Grill website, and their website lists $39/rack. Not a fan of pricing ambiguity and unsure why a brick & mortar restaurant with more overhead can charge less than a food truck. : ( read more

Take the tennant offramp and turn right. Someone created a concrete pad with custom picnic bench seating. There are 2 food trucks/stands there, a bbq one and one serving home style mexican food. The seating area is shaded. Was 95 degrees in gilroy but there was a constant breeze. Very enjoyable. ColeSlaw: mayo with standard sliced cabbage from the restaurant supply store. Too sweet for me but kids would inhale this stuff. Beans: very good, maybe cheese in them? Not the standard pinto bean bbq sauce too sweet combo. Maybe some jalapeno in them? 3 ribs: very good, bones fell off the meat. Can see the pink smoke ring. These aren't the standard boil them first throw them on a smoker for half hour ribs. They have a heavy smoked flavor. Such a better dining/food experience than anything at or near the outlet mall. Just go another exit up and take a right at the exit if going north. read more

Mehh, we got the tri tip sandwich and it was overly smokey, charred, and tasted like propane. Some may enjoy that, but it's definitely not for me. They were also advertising the oh so popular "birria tacos", which were a disappointment as well. It was better than the tri tip sandwich, but still underwhelming. It doesn't come with the dipping broth on the side, it's just a regular opened street taco, not the ones they fold in half with cheese and all the good stuff. Instead, the tacos came butt naked (meat only)! I finally gave this truck a shot becuase we drive by all the time and we especially wanted to support "small businesses" during this pandemic. However, I really didn't appreciate their insensitivity around covid and the extra safety precautions at all. All condiments (salsa, bbq sauce, onions cilantro, etc.) were all self served........ no sanitizer at the station either. AND they had full on communal benches to eat there... health hazard on all levels and definitely not complying with the CDC. Unfortunately, I'll have to keep driving by! It was worth a shot though. read more

We were in the mood for some bbq but upon arriving we saw they also were serving birria tacos dorados, birria burritos, birria tortas and birria de plato. We ordered a birria burrito, 3 tacos dorados, 1 tri tip sandwich with sides & another without sides. Our total was $50, a little pricey. The tri tip sandwich was small with not much meat inside. Sides were about a scoop of ice cream. Coleslaw was tasty, rice was missing a little bit of flavor. The tacos were crunchy and cheesy. Good portion of consume. Side Note: cashier didn't have a face mask on while taking our order from inside the truck. read more

I had always wanted to try this place I am honestly so surprised that it has good reviews. I ordered a tri-tip sandwich and it is literally about 2 ounces of overdone steak and a big piece of bread for $15 without any sides (with tax and tip). Got barbecue sauce on the side and it's flavorless and watery. Save your time and go to traildust for real bbq. read more

Was driving past this BBQ truck on the way to my hotel just now and got some lunch to go - two ribs and a piece of chicken with two sides and bread for $14.99. You can see the giant smoker next to their truck so I knew this freshly smoked food, independently owned place, would be great. Portions were very good so I'm happy about the price. would have given this fantastic barbecue place a 5 star if I had only gotten the chicken with the two sides, because the chicken was so flavorful and so moist it did not even need barbecue sauce!!! the rice and beans were perfect perfect perfect!!! I'm still trying to figure out the beans... I don't think they were Pinto but they were so unbelievably flavorful and juicy and fantastic! I had a choice of homemade tortillas or garlic bread and got the garlic bread which was a huge piece! They have a bunch of condiments that you can help yourself to: BBQ sauce, spicy BBQ sauce, salsa verde, pickled jalapenos, etc. For the record I was so super stuffed. I really couldn't finish everything and I'm a good eater! BUT the 2 ribs.... although had good flavor.... they were tough... definitely needed to be cooked longer. That was a bummer that I had to chew so hard. If ever I'm in this area I will definitely stop by again and order the chicken, or maybe they'll read this post and learn that the rib meat should be practically falling off the bone. read more

Husband and went here the other day for lunch. We got there before the rush, thank goodness! I'm a pretty picky eater and this was amazing! I grew up in Texas do I know good bbq. The lady gave us a sample of the meats. Chicken breast, tritip and ribs. The ribs were so delicious and I don't even like ribs! My husband just stared at me chowing down and was like "who are you" . The chicken was delicious and not dry at all and we both loved the tritip! Cooked to perfection and thinly sliced. I ordered chicken thighs (before I had tasted the breast) and husband got tritip sandwich. The portions are pretty big, we both had leftovers. The thighs were amazing, moist, literally falling apart. I love thighs but the breast was so good I would get it too. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Saw the sign for Ricky's on Monterey a couple months ago and decided to stop by. The wife and I both had barbecue chicken and it was pretty darn good. So we decided to go back again this afternoon for lunch and I had a chicken burrito this time. I asked for breast meat and no sour cream or guacamole. The guy that took my order was very friendly and accommodating. But when I got the burrito pretty much every bite I took had bones in it. It was absolutely disgusting. About after five or six bites of having the same thing happen pretty much every time I just gave up and threw away half the burrito and left. Don't think I'll be going back. read more

Everything sounded delicious, but I opted for the Pop"s Pub burger. I figured that would be a good starting point to get a feel of how good the food is. The burger was good, but not $21.00 good. The fries were tasty ,and I really enjoyed the side salad that came with it. The burger itself came with lettuce , tomato and a house sauce (thousand island blend). The burger was cooked perfectly , and tasted pretty good. However, when you add a $10.00 IPA to the equation and throw in a tip- I was out $41.00. I didn't like my meal enough to spend that kind of money. For a burger to be this pricey, I needed more. This place seems like a cool place to chill ,watch a game, and enjoy a cold beer. I may just do that next time and skip the meal. The service was poor. Once my food was dropped off , I never heard from the lady again to check on me until she dropped off the check.

Everything in my life changed. I never used to eat at McDonalds, but after I got out of the hospital, I eat there a lot (it's all I can afford - if that) and I'm always trying to pay attention to the McD points so I can get more food. That being said, going to Chama is either because of some miraculous unplanned result, or deliberately saving money for the better part of a year. The worst result of my new life with these injuries is I can't take care of M as much as I'd like. We did take M to Chama for her birthday a couple years ago and she has always been wanting to go back every day since then. Recently, she requested to choose where we would have dinner, and in addition she said we couldn't change her mind. We weren't even sure until we arrived that she had chosen Chama (so that implies Chama is her favorite restaurant - even though she's been to a lot of nice places including in Monterey and on the ocean side). We could only afford to get just M a meal and Grace was really nervous that us being on a really obvious budget and being out of place would cause the staff to be upset or impatient with us. Actually, the staff was super nice and accommodating to M, and to all of us. That could only happen because the Chama staff and Terry our waitress treated us like family. If you put me at the McD ordering kiosk, I'm pretty good at navigating my way through ordering and making sure I use up my points before they expire. But we were lost as to how ordering worked at Chama, and I couldn't remember anything I learned from the last couple times before when I was there. Terry was really patient explaining how to order, and helped M choose a meal option / buffet that was perfect for her. All three times I've been there the staff has been great. Recently was M's second time and we appreciated that the staff would be so kind to a child. There's something special and permanent about a child's memory eating at their favorite restaurant in the world. We appreciate that Chama staff and Terry made the effort to make that dinner magical and inviting. We have a really good memory now of a family together having that amazing experience. I like M had an unusual opportunity to plan our evening and restaurant choice, she did make the plans, and she had such a memorable shared adventure and outcome. Thank you!

We were greeted by a very friendly waitress. She said we could sit wherever we wanted, asked if we've been in before, and told us about the specials. The interior is cozy, it kind of reminded me of dive bar vibes. They have a lot of drinks on tap and some frozen slushies. I opted for organic iced tea since I don't drink. When I went to the bathroom, I noticed one of the slushies was non-alcoholic so I might try that next time. We ordered the Bourbon Bacon Burger with Chili Cheese Fries and the Supreme wood-fired pizza. The burger was fantastic! The BBQ sauce was delicious, the bacon and onion rings were crispy, and the fries were great. I enjoyed the chili, but I didn't think the cheese sauce or sour cream really stood out. I thought the crust on the pizza was perfect, I really enjoyed the wood-fired vibe and fresh toppings. This would probably be my favorite pizza if they used better mozzarella. For now, Bizza is holding the top spot for me since they use Butcher's Son mozzarella, and in my opinion, it's the best vegan mozzarella sub I've ever had from pizza spots so far. Even though I have notes, I still think the overall meal was a home run and the staff were super friendly so they get 5-stars in my book.

He let us know where we could find the menu up close, as opposed to the giant one listed above us. My partner and I decided to go with the Cowboy Pizza and the Pesto Pasta. BOTH OF THESE FOOD ITEMS WERE SPLENDED!! Compliments to the chef, seriously. We really wanted to pair our food with lemonade, but they did have any like they listed on the menu. We ended up going with two ciders from "2 TOWNS CIDERHOUSE." My cider was POG Cosmic Crisp but unfortunately it was a little flat and not as enjoyable. My partner got the Mango Cosmic Crisp and he enjoyed his better. I wish they had lemonade, or I wish I would've just stuck to a water cup or a different type of beverage. They have a lot of options for 21+ but they also have a Stubborn Soda Machine with 8 different flavors. There is plenty of seating indoors as well as outdoors! The inside is decorated with lights, plants, and a majority of the seats are a nice brown leather. Overall, it was wonderful.
