From the Maker

Rico Rico was founded on a simple mission: to bring authentic, high-quality Mexican dried chiles to home cooks, chefs, and food businesses across North America. The brand sources directly from Mexico's traditional chile-growing regions — Puebla for anchos and chipotles, Zacatecas and Aguascalientes for guajillos, Oaxaca for pasillas — working with local farmers on every harvest. From sweet, smoky ancho to fiery chile de árbol, each batch is carefully selected and quality-tested before packaging, delivering the deep, layered flavor at the heart of salsas, moles, and birria.
