| - Whether you're a long time resident of The Valley or you are visiting for work or vacation, a visit to Rico's is a must. Located in Hilton's beautiful Squaw Peak Resort, this place offers great food in an atmosphere that provides plenty of space for your large parties, or a quiet booth for date nights. Their menu includes several items that contain ingredients that are grown and cultivated on-site in their thriving garden. The interior reminds me of a lodge with its open spaces and high, vaulted ceilings. I enjoyed the fact that they paid homage to the areas mining history by showing some pictures of the workers and mining equipment from the early 1900's.
My fiancé and I were there for dinner, but seeing the omelet station and breakfast menu already had me thinking about my next visit. Let's start out with the staff. They were all WONDERFUL!! Our server kept our water glasses topped off and was always checking to see how we were doing. The manager came out and chatted with us several times to talk about the food and drinks. And by the way, he is also the mixologist. He has created some unbelievable combinations for cocktails by taking more of a culinary approach with finding ingredients that blend together to make the drink an experience to remember. We sampled the handcrafted Sedona Special, Your Grandma's Favorite, and the Strawberry-Jalapeño Margarita. They were ALL delicious!!!! My favorite was the Strawberry-Jalapeño Margarita. It was spicy and sweet and hard to limit myself to just one. They also have a great selection of draft beer all from Arizona.
The food was also terrific. We started out with the Wagyu Beef Brisket Sliders, Rocky Point Shrimp Gazpacho, and the Warm Spinach, Bacon & Roasted Tomato Dip. All were delicious, especially the Spinach and Bacon Dip! It made me melt into the booth with a smile on my face. As noted on the menu, this item is made with ingredients that are grown in their own garden. For our main courses, we split the Grilled Pacific Corvina and the Grilled 14 oz. Ribeye. The Corvina was light and mild, and seasoned to perfection. Even my fiancé, who normally doesn't eat seafood, had it and enjoyed it. The chimi-churri rice and baby green beans were perfect accompaniments. The Ribeye was fantastic and perfectly cooked. No need for steak sauce for this one thanks to the delightful cracked pepper demi-galce. The Parmesan au gratin potatoes were out of this world! Finally, as if all this wasn't enough, we just had to try dessert. We chose the Warm Valrhona Chocolate Fondant. And let me tell you, it was awesome! The fondant was decadent and came with vanilla bean ice cream that paired perfectly, topped with fresh berries. The portions on everything was just right and I can't wait to come back to try more items off of the menu. The burgers that I saw the servers carrying past me looked topnotch and I look forward to coming back! Check them out. 5-stars!
