Pica Rica BBQ

So much love. So much barbeque.

🔥 Utah’s Own, brought to you by the country’s hottest concepteur Michael McHenry, Utah’s 2022 Restaurateur of the Year Jason Neeley, and the entire TMG Family.

What’s in a Name?

Pica – Something bold, spicy, and unforgettable.
Rica – Rich, hearty, full of soul.

Together, Pica Rica is more than a name—it’s a love letter to barbecue, family, and the power of food to bring people together.

Our Craft

At Pica Rica, we marry authentic Central Texas-style barbeque with the bold spirit of Mexican cuisine. It’s not just food—it’s tradition, culture, and craft. Every bite is the result of hours of fire management, wood selection, and the relentless pursuit of the perfect brisket bark.

This isn’t just cooking. It’s discipline. Passion. Community. Love.

Why We Do It

Barbecue isn’t just about ribs and brisket—it’s about:

🍽️ Sitting next to strangers who become friends
🎉 Laughing through the good times and holding each other in the hard
🏡 Bringing whole neighborhoods together with one unforgettable bite

It’s about creating core memories, one tortilla-wrapped brisket at a time.
