22.01.2022 It's great we can host small gatherings in our homes. Re-connect with close family and friends (from a small distance). Spare a thought for the host. So much pressure after lockdown. Will they like the food? Maybe tastebuds have changed? Try a burrito bar. Richie's burritos are for vegans, vegetarians, meat-eaters. Richie's fresh salsas range from mild to hot to smoky. Something for everyone! Handmade in Melbourne, the same way I grew up with in California. They'll be talking about your burrito bar for a long time! Visit your local Richie's stockist and stock up. Too easy!!
22.01.2022 There are lots of mottos to choose from when you're looking for a good motto to live by. Me? I choose "Work hard, be nice, eat burritos".
22.01.2022 We know burritos were created sometime in the 20th century. Many theories exist about who created burritos and why. Such as... Juan Méndez, a street vendor in Chihuahua, Mexico, invented the burrito. During the Mexican Revolution in the 1910s, Méndez decided to wrap his food in flour tortillas to keep it warm. He realised wrapping the food in a tortilla was tasty and a good way to serve it. People from Sonora, Mexico, invented the burrito because of its mobility. Traditio...nal burritos in Mexico were not as stuffed and full as they can be today and were easy to travel with. The burrito was invented in Ciudad Juárez in the 1940s by a street vendor. He portioned the food and wrapped it in a tortilla. While their origins are unclear, burritos have stood the test of time! Richie's burritos are traditional, humble, not overly stuffed and very delicious! See more

21.01.2022 Tostadas have a long history that stretches all the way back to 2000 years ago in Mexico. These delicuous tostadas are from Friday night dinner at our place. Open-faced, toasted tortillas topped with beans and other ingredients. Nearly anything that can be used in a taco, also works with a Mexican tostada. And always tastiest when topped with Richie's Fresh Salsa!
20.01.2022 My favourite piece of advice I learned at a young age and still rely on to this day? "The answer is ALWAYS burritos". Richie's range of frozen burritos are now stocked up. Find your nearest Richie's stockist on our website or contact us for details.

18.01.2022 This video has put a big smile on my face! A big thank you to Neil from Chicago for his support and awesome feedback. I'm glad you're enjoying our burritos! I met Neil on one of my burrito deliveries to Casa Iberica Fitzroy last week. It's always awesome to hear from a fellow expat!

15.01.2022 Last night's meat-free Monday dinner was delicious. Richie's Fresh Salsa (mild) drizzled on delicious @ilnonnofoods Tortellini Fresh Ricotta and Spinach. Just another way to enjoy our versatile fresh salsas. Drizzle salsa straight out of the tub for a fresh flavour kick, or cook for about 10 minutes for a more saucy texture. Yummy!

13.01.2022 Yesterday we sat down to open-faced wraps for meat-free Monday's lunch. Richie's housemade black beans, fried potatoes, topped with Richie's salsa verde on a whole wheat wrap. Fold it like a taco or wrap it like a burrito. Yummy!

11.01.2022 Yesterday marked 15 years married to this beautiful woman. She introduced me to her homeland, where we came up with the crazy idea to introduce my family's food to you!

10.01.2022 Weekly shopping lists are better with Richie's BS (burritos & salsa). Locally made in Melbourne! Find your nearest stockist on our website or contact us for details.
09.01.2022 Salsa is my favourite condiment. Salsas may be raw or cooked, chunky or smooth, spicy or not. They can vary as much in their texture, preparation and cooking method as they do in their flavors. As far as Im concerned the best salsa has the flavours of Mexico: tomatoes or tomatillos, onions, chiles and cilantro. I dont need to tell you what to do with salsa, but its worth mentioning that Richie's Fresh Salsa is just as good spooned over grilled fish, chicken or meat as it is over grilled vegetables, tofu or beans as it is piled onto a tortilla chip. Salsas may be hard to define, but easy to enjoy. Especially on a weekend like this in Melbourne with glorious spring weather!
09.01.2022 For meat-free Monday we're enjoying my Greek mother-in-law's delicious eggplant dish. We added a side of veggie sausages, topped with Richie's Fresh Salsa of course. Yummy!
09.01.2022 It's February already! Back to work, school & rushed lunches. Richie's humble burritos are a quick & easy lunch idea. The perfect portable Mexican meal. Especially delicious! These burritos are heading to @casa_iberica Fitzroy. Paul's crew will heat one up for your lunch, with fresh salsa thrown in. Or keep a stash in your kitchen freezer. Easy lunch option that satisfies your Mexican food cravings any day of the week! Find your nearest stockist on Richie's website or contact us.
08.01.2022 We hope everyone had a wonderful Xmas! My sister-in-law gave us the best present this year. I'm supposed to be taking a short break from burritos, but I'll make an exception! We're going to spend the day playing our favourite new game - a perfect combination of dodgeball and a food fight!
07.01.2022 Looking for a lockdown snack? How about homemade nachos. All you really need is yourself, some tortilla chips (corn chips) and a few simple ingredients. Everyone has their own preferences for toppings. Whatever toppings you use, I highly recommend smothering them with Richie's Fresh Salsa! Delicious!

03.01.2022 Burritos or tacos? A deeply personal choice. There is no right answer, except for the one that lives in your heart. Its taken a lot of soul searching to realise Im a burrito guy, and it comes down to one simple factor: satisfaction. The way a good burrito hugs the inside of your mouth is incomparable. The softness of beans, the bounce of rice, the slickness of salsa, the stretchy flour tortilla gives you a set of textures you can never achieve with a taco. Great pleasure derives from ultimate convenience. The goodness of burritos does not detract from the goodness of tacos. But I'll go on the record. I'm a burrito guy.
02.01.2022 We believe in a food system that supports real food options when you're in a hurry. If you're looking for healthy, humble and wholesome convenient food, look no further than Richie's range of frozen burritos. There is nothing quite like the flavourful, satisfying taste of a burrito!
