Closer

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

Flipdeck Info

Hometown: Tacodale
Occupation: Welder
Loves: Chili
Hates: Shaving

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!

Appearance

Rico is a man who wears a black vest with light brown stitches, black biker sunglasses, and a pale blue bandana. His white t-shirt has light stains, and he wears a brown chained belt on his dark blue jeans. He has a big ratted beard and mustache, and face is lightly dusted with freckles and beauty marks.

From Papa's Cupcakeria onwards, he wears a horizontally black and red striped shirt.

Clean-Up

His clothing and beard were remodeled.

Styles

Style B

Rico wears a blue and off-white striped shirt under a brown blazer with black and red stitches, dark sleeves, and strings of zippers visible. He wears a red bandana, a pair of dark aviator glasses, and black pants. He also wears black shoes with silver soles and cadet blue laces.

Style H

Rico looks like a large pumpkin during Halloween. He wears black overalls with an orange front and carved Jack-o-Lantern face on it and an orange bandana with a green "stem" tucked on it.

April Fool's Day Jokes

Rico was the subject of Flipline Studios' first two April Fools blog posts.

Rico's Chiliria

On April 1, 2012, Flipline Studios announced that after 14 months of development, they were coming out with a new game featuring Rico called "Rico's Chiliria". While details were "coming soon," the only update was that this was an April Fool's Day joke.

A poster advertising for Rico's Chiliria becomes available for purchase to decorate restaurant lobbies in many Gamerias after that, with a tagline of "Keep Rico's dream alive of opening his own Chiliria!"

Rowdy Rico: When Chili Attacks!

On April 1, 2013, Flipline Studios announced the creation of a new platformer game, Rowdy Rico: When Chili Attacks! with Rico playing the role of the main protagonist.

"Rico is hauling his world famous chili to the Oniontown Chili-fest when he hits an unexpected detour. A strange portal opens up swallowing Rico, his chopper, and of course his spicy Chili. Can Rowdy Rico find his way out of this chili nightmare, or will he be forced into a life of serving bland meals in the depths of Fort Onion?"

The release date was set for April 31, 2013, implying once again that this was an April Fool's joke.

The outfit Rico wears in the poster becomes one of two available outfits players can purchase for Rico in Papa Louie 2: When Burgers Attack!, and becomes his regular clothing for Papa's Cupcakeria and beyond.

Rowdy Rico: When Chili Attacks! becomes the fifth arcade game furniture made available for players to purchase and use to decorate Papa's Pastaria lobby, and is a Rare Prize that can be won in Papa's Donuteria afterwards. It has a description of "Keep the dream alive with Rowdy Rico: When Chili Attacks!"

Trivia

Rico is the only customer who was given a reason as why he is no longer a Closer, notably in a Flipdeck.
His Flipdeck picture is similar to the 2012 April Fools' picture.
You can buy a bandana identical to Rico's in Papa's Hot Doggeria and beyond.
Even though he likes spicy foods, he doesn't order Red Hot Popcorn or Hot Sauce in Papa's Hot Doggeria.
His current outfit (as of Papa's Cupcakeria) is his Style B in Papa Louie 2: When Burgers Attack!, except that the bandana remains blue.
Starting from Papa's Pastaria, the Rowdy Rico game become an arcade box as a furniture, and as a prize onwards.
He only orders Chocolate Chips on each of his donuts outside his favorite holiday in Papa's Donuteria.
- He and Greg are also the only customers in the game to order the same ingredient on all three donuts outside of their favorite holidays.
He is currently dating Rhonda, according to the latter's Flipdeck.
He has been the subject for the most holiday posts. (3)
- The 20
Rico has had his own mini-game based off of him;Rico's Chiliworks.
