delicious
Usage Note
Rico has two very common meanings in everyday speech: 'wealthy' (es muy rico, 'he is very rich') and 'tasty/delicious' (qué rico está este plato, 'this dish is so good'). Learners often overlook the food sense, which is extremely frequent in conversation. As a noun, un rico means 'a wealthy person.' The superlative riquísimo is used enthusiastically about food.
Examples
"Este pastel está riquísimo."
Natural Translation
This cake is absolutely delicious.
