Ricky’s

Ricky's on 16th Street in South Beach keeps things straightforward: it is the kind of neighborhood restaurant that has regulars, knows what it is, and does not try to be anything else. In a neighborhood that can sometimes feel like a performance, a place with that kind of grounded identity is genuinely refreshing. Whether it is a local lunch spot or an evening haunt, Ricky's fits the quieter, residential energy of the blocks just behind the main South Beach buzz. It is a solid choice for anyone looking for a meal with character and without the tourist markup.
