our delicious story

When Jorge Fierro came to the United States from Mexico he was less than impressed with the Mexican food available in local grocery stores.  Using his mother’s recipe, he began selling freshly cooked “De La Olla” pinto beans at the Downtown Salt Lake Farmer’s Market in 1997, with the desire to share the diverse and authentic flavors of Mexican cuisine with America.

I love Rico's. The food and service are excellent. You're treated like family. Always a great experience... try the Saturday buffet brunch.

Timothy Carr Carr

Best food in the whole fresh/ frozen section. Their little burritos are the perfect size and healthy!
