Rico

Rico is a male customer who first appeared as a closer in Papa's Taco Mia!

Appearance
Rico is a man with a black vest, sunglasses, and a blue bandana. His white t-shirt has light stains, and he wears a chained belt on his blue jeans. He has a ratted beard and moustache, and face is lightly dusted with freckles. He wears a blue bandana, and normally wears brown-lensed sunglasses. His shirt became horizontally black-and-red striped in Cupcakeria and onwards.

Flipdeck Info
This tough biker arrived with an attitude as a Closer in Papa’s Taco Mia!, but after a relaxing vacation on Calypso Island he started to mellow out. When he’s not visiting Papa’s restaurants, he’s riding around the country and sampling chili at various roadhouses. Rico is perfecting his own original chili recipe, and hopes that customers will one day line up to try a bowl of his chili!

April Fool's Day Jokes
Rico appears in the Flipline Studio's April Fools blog posts.

Rico's Chiliria
Many people thought that 'Rico's Chiliria' was an upcoming game, but it was just an April Fool's Day joke.

Rowdy Rico: When Chili Attacks!
Like last year's Rico's Chiliria, Rowdy Rico: When Chili Attacks! is an April Fools Joke said to be released on "April 31, 2013". Since April has 30 days, a date like April 31 does not exist; implying that Flipline will never release the game. This post was listed in the Holiday category, implying it was an April Fool's joke. His appearance in the Rowdy Rico: When Chili Attacks! poster is actually an unlockable outfit for Rico in Papa Louie 2: When Burgers Attack!, as well as being his everyday outfit in Cupcakeria and onwards. Incidentally, Rowdy Rico is a purchasable arcade-box in Pastaria and a rare prize in donuteria.

Trivia

 * His flipdeck picture is similar to the April Fools Chiliria picture.
 * From Cupcakeria onwards, his outfit changed. His shirt is now red and black striped. This outfit is style B in Papa Louie 2: When Burgers Attack!, except his bandana that remains blue.
 * His weapon of choice in Papa Louie 2: When Burgers Attack! is a can of chili. It leaves chili splatters on the ground.
 * You can buy a bandana identical to Rico's in Papa's Hot Doggeria and Gamerias after that.
 * He is the only character that has been in a April Fool's Day Picture.
 * He is the only character who was given a reason as why he is no longer a closer (see Flipdeck).
 * His chili became an unlockable ingredient in Pastaria, during Chilifest (see Rico's Chili for more information).
 * He likes chilli and beans.
 * Even though he is a big fan of hot and spicy foods, he doesn't order Red Hot Popcorn in Papa's Hot Doggeria.
 * In Donuteria he orders only chocolate chips on each of his donuts, unless it's Starlight Jubilee.
 * He likes Chocolate Chips, as seen in most of his orders.
