rico

rich

adjective RREE-koh Less Common

Also means

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.
