Reviews of Café Rio Mexican Grill (Restaurant)

Andrew Swapp

The place closes at ELEVEN. Not NINE. You guys are without fail putting the chairs up at 9 and have the grill and everything cleaned up at NINE. I feel guilty coming in at 9:30 bc I’m hungry. Fix the management or me and my friends are not giving you guys our business. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SIT wherever I want in a restaurant. Not feel like I’m being herded to a section of seats. You’re going to go out of business if you keep this up. Whoever is the manager on the weekend Should be fired or pushed down to a cook. This is UNACCEPTABLE and not professional. VERY bad looks on you cafe rio.

Walt Teats

I had a "grilled chicken burrito" tonight. The rice wasn't just undercooked, it was downright brittle! Another 15-20 minutes of cooking was needed. I had to toss it out, unfortunately. I normally like their menu.

McKayan May

I usually love Cafe Rio. But this place was an exception. Not very clean, rice and beans looked like they had been sitting out for 24 hours and were dry and flavorless. Employees were rude, and threw everything together haphazardly. I tried three different fountain drinks and there was no carbonation in any of them. I wouldn’t return to this location

BJ Patterson

Great place for filling food to stay and eat, or take and eat at home! Moderately priced. For one individual is anywhere from 12 to 15 bucks For your meal.

Dipan Das

Supremely delicious. We were looking for a place to have dinner in Great Falls, tried a couple of them and both were fortunately closed. So we decided to try our luck here. And we did get lucky. The food was fantastic, the service was awesome and the ambience and decor was splendid. No wonder you got 60 awards. Keep up the good work.

Randy Christensen

So delicious as always. Been here multiple times always been good food and a cool atmosphere.

Sierra Kirk

This is a great spot for food. But when you order online you get about half as much rice and beans as you do if you wait in line. Y’all know you are doing this because it happens every time.

Cafe Rio is one of my favorite places to go if I want a meal without waiting a long time. The food is consistently good, and you don't have to wait, or pay extra for a tip. If you use the App, you can save a lot of money in the form of credit towards future meals. They have deals about every week to double your points or get some special promotion. They never fail to impress!

Palmer Shores

Great wait staff, but food quality was below my (high) expectations

Quinn Dexter

Super great portion size, depending on how hungry you are! Very filling and very good quality foods. However the price is very high for individuals, the burritos are about 10 dollars before any additions which is crazy for a single burrito. The line is quite long and takes a while. It's not a fast food restaurant though so long waits are expected. But other than that it's pretty great!

Matt J

The drink selection is great. The shrimp tacos are tasty and the tortillas are good. There is a house ranch or some kind of creamy dressing with green bits in it, which is really good. The beans and rice are both super bland, and the chicken and beef is sweet, too sweet. Its like eating candied grilled chicken. Feels like everything in a burrito or taco is sweet. Atmosphere is good and employees keep the drink station in a clean and stocked state which is good. Will return to this establishment just a couple times a year. There are definitely many better options for Mexican fast casual.

John Otero

So good!!!! Ingredients are fresh and tasty, and employees are friendly and accommodating. The enchiladas and black beans are almost too good to describe, but the word "nirvana" quickly comes to mind, they were that good as well as their mint lemonade, oh my goodness. This was our first time here, but let's just say that we can't wait to come back. The little cinnamon peppermint candies that are provided are also very welcoming and refreshing after a spicy meal.

J. Dax Norton

Always fresh made. The burritos are such a satisfying portion. I was so happy to find they exist on the east coast.

Beau Merrill

This place is fast for the volume. They do a great job of keeping things clean. Every once in a while they do run out of basics.

Taco Tuesday is the best here. I always get 2 chicken tacos with lettuce, Pico, black beans and rice. $6.23 with a large fountain soda (as of July 2019). Well worth the money. So good.

Brenda Castaldi

Flavorful food. Really like the burrito enchilada style. Almost never a wait or never long. Mint limeade is fabulous. Staff are always generous, kind, and helpful.

Jessica Archuleta

Fish tacos were very fishy and dry. Very disappointing.

deboah schieno

This was an awful experience. The guy making our nachos was very rude, threw the food in the pan and was completely annoyed that we were ordering. The place was absolutely filthy ... food everywhere on the counters. I would never recommend this restaurant.

Sammie Page

I eat here everyday!

Ben Passanando

Good food but it's not cheap

Melody Hadfield

The food portions are now smaller and they seem to get my order incorrect most of the time. They used to be 5 star in my opinion. Not anymore.

Jose R

Cafe Rio is always a safe choice. I will go back.

T Thomas

Pork Barbacoa burrito is so good love the fresh homemade tortillas.

T Y

Really fun night out, great food, wait staff was awesome. :)

Danielle Shumway

Let this be the one review that turns you away from this location. They are slow, usually get the order wrong and just aren’t very considerate. The last two times I’ve eaten at this restaurant have been extremely disappointing. The first time there was no one in the line, however it took forever to get through, my husband and I paid for our order, went to go get our drink, the soda machine was out of syrup - the coke ran white. We asked for them to fix it, and waited for 15 more minutes, and then we asked again, because at this point we really needed to leave, and they finally fixed it. We get to where we were going - and they got our order wrong. I drove all the way back, and they just said sorry

Neredys A

Big portions, tasty food, great atmosphere, nice staff!

jim Barclay

Healthy Mexican food, friendly service. Waiting in line can be a little tedious, but the food is worth it.

Tammy Lewis

I love the fresh tortillas.

Dawn Kocha

Delish and fresh every time!

Noah Bisby

Very delicious and has amazing pico di guillo

Gates Bennett

Always busy here. No surprise as to why- good food, though the last time I went my chicken didn't get shredded so much as thrown in a clump into a tortilla. So food great, service fine.

Kalista Blackham

I used to love Cafe Rio when the first came to town, but after raising the prices three times it's not what is most affordable for a college town. Still good, but not as worth the money.

JOHN WOOLSEY

Great price good food.

Don Speer

I don't eat a lot of Mexican food but I was very impressed with their food and service. I have already bragged about it to others.

Wyatt Nelson

Great place. It was clean, fast and the food was great. Great for getting a fast meal.

Julie Benjamin

Very tasty

Lillie Rutledge

It was gross! I came from Florida almost a year ago and have not had good Mexican food since. The rice was under cooked the black beans were soupy and there was absolutely NO flavor! Their tortillas tasted like raw flour. I would not feed my worst enemy that nasty food. If I could give negative stars it would be negative 5. Worst place ever. However the employees were very kind.

Todd Bernhardt

Great food, good prices. It's popular for a reason!

Mark Baucom

1 burrito is a family meal.

Clark Duncan

Slow service good food

Dave Woodard

Every time we want to eat there, they are always out of grilled chicken, steak, shimp and salmon . When they advertise that they have certain items they should have them no matter what time of day or time it is. Manager should get fired. Great food if you eat before 2pm in afternoon. After that you are not going to get what's on there menu. Poorly ran by manager. Would not recommend eating there any more.

Preston Higgins

The food here at Cafe Rio is always fresh and delicious. The staff is always at least cordial if not friendly and helpful. If you come here in any amount of regularity I suggest getting their app. As you spend money you get points which is translated back into money, but the app also offers great deals every week or so.

debbi sessa

We love Cafe Rio! The ingredients are always so fresh!

Jeffrey MacFarlane

Slow service totally, way under staff. Food got really cold.

Robert Fuentes

Atmosphere is always terrific. There’s a high school cherry creek high schooler who’s always super nice and a young lady that runs the register is also great. I do as many surveys as I can for them. Promote these kids!

Alan Eaby

Overrated. Not enough meat, overcooked rice, very limited on what goes into the burrito. Burrito was a disaster, fell apart as soon as I picked it up. Many health concerns. Extremely slow service and very rude staff. Will not be recommending or returning.

Briaja Kinney

My family loves it and I used to but it's hard when I have a million allergies. I could only eat three items and it was very bland. but I know it is delicious for everyone else!

Alexi Molden

This was a good dining experience, we had a veggie enchilada.

Breana Roberts

My favorite Mexican place of all time. When I was pregnant I ate here all of the time. 12/10 will always love this place. I get the smothered sweet pulled pork burrito with there white habenero sauce. Im a spice wimp and it's not spicy.

Nathan Garlock

Their pork is incredible. I like their salads too. The staff typically is very friendly and I always ask for half and half black and pinto beans. I love asking for their salad ranch which is so bomb.

Richard Simmert

Food is decent, but service is horrible. Do not bother ordering online, you are treated like second class citizens. Ordered my food an hour ago online, came in to pick up food, and was told to wait. People who walk in after I paid for my food are sitting down to eat, while I wait. The point of ordering online and being asked to give 45 minutes is precisely so that I don't have to wait 30 minutes to eat.

Lauren Tippetts

worst service of my life. They’re always rude. It’s not just after one time that I’ve decided I hate coming to this one. I’ve come here several times because I wanted to be fair and give them a fair chance. it is like this everytime. And everytime anyone of my friends or family comes to this one. They say the same thing. It’s such a disappointment. we’ve experienced things from attitude (eyes being rolled) being given when being asked to leave out a specific ingredient to completely ignoring our requests. It’s pathetic.

Laurie T

Usually a great experience. However, at least 3 different times I've gotten ready to order and they are out of Roast beef. Disappointing when you can't get what you came in for.

Kelsie Condon

GO TO CAFE MEXICALI! Same food but way better and is the original recipes. Worst customer service experience I have ever been apart of. We placed a group order online for pick up. When my coworker got back with the food we discovered we were missing an entire meal and one of the other meals was missing a taco. We called and were told (in a short and rude tone) we would need to come in to correct the problem, which was not possible for any of us since we had appointments and surgeries starting back up. Which also meant one of our Doctors did not get to eat. When I finally was able to drive down (an additional 10 minutes south, adding 20 minutes to my already 45 minute commute) the Manager was completely indifferent that a customer did not get a meal and asked if I wanted to order one at that moment (are you kidding me?) which I calmly and politely replied "no" to, I just want to be refunded. He agreed he would refund the money of the meal we did not get (well no sh** Sherklock) and explained that the tacos were a special so it only came with one, despite the photo clearly showing two tacos when you order and no other description (that's called bait and switch) so they did not owe us anything for that meal. I, nor my teammates will ever give them business again. Instead we will place our orders with Cafe Mexicali (Rio left Mexicali to start the chain) which has phenomenal food and quality service, oh and it's right down the road. Bottom line, don't waste your time here, go to Cafe Mexicali.

G. GIBBS

Cut back to three stars. For some reason the one in Saratoga Springs is not doing well. The food has been off, dry, and tastes like its been the in the bins much longer than it should be. No longer tastes fresh. The help doesn't seem very friendly anymore either. The last two to three visits have not been good. I hope it gets better, but it will be a while before we go back.

Nick Chandler

I normally get the Salad here. It's big enough for two meals and very good. They have a special every day of the week. Tuesday is popular since the deal is on Burritos/Salads. The staff are always very nice and helpful.

Sean Reifschneider

I love the food here, and the beverage bar is great. But, none of the people I go out to eat with will eat here because it smells like chemicals from Harbor Freight next door. I can smell it, but two of my friends have particularly sensitive noses and just won't eat there. Really wish they could get that solved, but it'd probably involve extending the wall between the stores all the way to the roof, or adding some positive pressure venting from the restaurant.

Andrew Lundgren

Pretty good Utah-Mex. The spiciest they have doesn't have much of a kick. If you want spicy Mexican food, keep looking.

Dustin williams

Food was ok. Didn't like the tacos as much as their other items.

Stephanie M. Torr

Amazing tortillas and approachable atmosphere. My rice was undercooked and the service wasnt very pleasant.

Kitt Santano

Can't get enough. Help me pleaseeeee!!

Martha Hierholzer

Fast service, good food, fair price. Mint Limeade is delicious and so is the Horchata! Got the lunch special (2 enchiladas, beans and rice, plus a drink) for $8. Seating inside is a little limited, but most people don't tend to hang around after eating.

Kyrie Gloria

Good food but little fie gluten free and it can be hard to when it gets too busy

Katarina Tanaciev

I never write reviews, but I felt very ignored at this store and like the employees didnt care.The food is always really good but the last time I mobile ordered, my food wasnt ready 15 minutes after the set time and the store was dead, if …

Tonya Urbatsch

Yum yum. The tacos are wonderful. The tortillas are really good also.

Richard McCoy

Great food. Nice service.

Amanda Dickson

Great food. A little loud in there, hard to have a conversation. Definitely worth it though

Big Daddy Baleion

Always amazing food. Polite and courteous wait staff and reasonable prices. Almost the #1 place to eat in the valley.

Jason Spitzer

Good quality fast food. Whole beans and whole wheat tortillas available. Good selections of drinks, but they take the soda fountain apart about an hour before closing. Otherwise, a good healthy choice.

Devon Dietemann

I go to Cafe Rio every Tuesday for tasty Tuesday. The food is pretty dang good! Comparable to Cafe Mexicali but instead of the white cream sauce, they have a special ranch sauce. The best thing to get in my opinion is the sweet pork burrito.

Kevin Whittington

Do not eat here!! I have been eating here by force the last 2 weeks due to car in the shop. The wait staff is always rushing you through the line. They charge you for any extra sides you may want on your taco. I mean everything even down to cheese and hot sauce. What a rip off. My one taco cost over$10.00. I will walk a little further from now on for lunch. Bye bye Cafe Rio.

MX L

This is hands down the best cafe Rio in Utah. The burrito is filled with meat and is spaced evenly throughout the burrito. Empty plate after my meal

BJ Patterson

Great place for filling food to stay and eat, or take and eat at home! Moderately priced. For one individual is anywhere from 12 to 15 bucks For your meal.

Tom Brand

Better than the Draper location! - They seem to have a consistent problem keeping the napkins stocked and sometimes seem understaffed in the lobby. Other than that they're clean, pleasant, and the food is good. I've not really had a bad experience with Cafe Rio food at any location. For the most part it's really good. So good in fact that I find myself craving it often. But the management is becoming an issue at various locations so I find myself with a conundrum - how do I satisfy my craving for this amazing food while justifying the atmosphere and mode of delivery? At some point my addiction is going to lose out to my common sense and I'll finally stop going all together unless the management figures out how to step it up.

Barbara Soulsburg

Awesome food, what else can I say. My family loves it.

Dalton Branson

Good food but hard to pay so much for lunch, great atmosphere though and great flavors.

Sarah Hancock

I've always loved the food here, but I was not impressed with the service tonight. They weren't very good at keeping my family's orders straight. They didn't give me beans and rice at all (which was supposed to be part of my order). They ran out of rice. They had no horchata. Kinda bummed about the whole experience.

clinece

They skimp on the meat. Also, it seems like they have enough prep workers to take the cilantro off the stem.

Angelic Angel xo

Not too bad, nothing special. Nothing wowed me. The queso was pretty good, but after awhile it started tasting very sweet like there secret ingredient was sugar lol. I might get food from here again, we’ll see.

Josh Nooge

If you like so much sauce that it turns your food into a soup, go here. If you also enjoy so much grease that it turns your tortilla into a soupy mess that resembles wet toilet paper, go here. I’ve had it twice and both times were exactly the same; who needs 2 ladles of sauce? Even when you say not much sauce they put an entire ladle on it; ruined. The food isn’t good and it’s sauced out of control to hide it. Don’t forget to ask for extra tortillas at the start of the line or you’ll get sass from the worker at the end of the line who expects you to know that it’s not his/her job nor his/her problem. Do you like drinking your meal? Do you like HUGE portions that have an insane amount of sauce and grease that you’ll feel as if you’re on the verge of death after your meal? Well, you’re going to absolutely love this place. GL

Lauree Whittaker Sundahl

I'm hooked on the pulled pork salad!

Bo Zamora

Food was good, one of the employees decided to light up a smoke 3 feet from my table though.

paula harwood

Great food ..awesome staff..

Nick Armijo

Very good food a little pricey, but worth it

samuel harrison

Grate food for a good price friendly and fast

Joseph & Morgan Harris

Great flavor. They have been struggling for a while, but now under new management the restaurant is thriving. I love the food, love the atmosphere, and love thrint lemonade.

Hailey

Its cafe Rio, what's not to love....

Amy Esmay

Not exactly the setting I was looking for on Cinco do Mayo (no margaritas), but good food and quick, polite staff.

Brigham Valentine

Cafe Rio is great!!! This location is right next to a college campus so I imagine it gets some traffic. There was a little line wh n we got there but got our food very fast! Efficient staff and great food!! You haven't dissapointed me!

Taylor McDaniel

Was unpleasantly surprised when I took a bite of my pork nachos. Pork was sweet. Tasted like barbeque pork not carnitas. Im from Texas so maybe they have a taste for that up here but I couldn't eat it. Disgusting.

A. K.

No flavor! Just good looking plates! Like most commercials! First and last time here!

Connie George

Always a great salad!!

Alice Corley

The meat was a little too salty. Staff friendly and engaging. Very clean..

Kristen Westfall

Food was fine like most Cafe Rio locations (although the tortilla in the salad we ordered was obviously old and way too crunchy, because they gave us an old one that had been on the burner too long), but service here was terrible. Very slow, multiple employees confusing orders, no urgency in moving the line... either all the employees here are new or they are not trained well.

TJ Mack

So good. Just fresh Tex Mex. You won't be sorry getting anything on the menu. My favorite is the pork burrito, enchilada style. Looking for something lighter, the fish tacos are amazing. Great selection of Mexican lemonades and orchata.

Nocktis

Great food. Can be a bit expensive if you're looking for somewhere to take the whole family but the food is worth it. If you like hot sauces they have plenty to choose from.

Carlene and Isaac Aldous

The Pork Barbacoa Burrito is AMAZING

joy mass

I don’t believe one should have to scoop their meal out from the bottom of the bag. This is the second time I’ve ordered Togo and I had a long wait time and most importantly my food was all over the bottom of the bag. They hardly tighten the lid, hardly is an understatement. It seem like like only tightened a corner of my container.

Kerri Peek

The food is so good and everyone on staff goes out of their way to make service excellent. Awesome service. This is my new favorite place.

Meghan West

Tasty Tuesday is an awesome deal! Wish they would add a vegetarian protein in addition to beans but it is delicious either way.

joseph patterson

The worst experience time and time again. I have learned my lesson. It only took 5 visits.

Jordan New

The food is ok. I ordered a vegetarian burrito, and there are no vegetables, other than salsa and lettuce. Reusable cutlery and plate ware would be nice, but everything is disposable, and there is no recycling. The prices were reasonable for what we got.

Irule 1997

It has the best queso so I've ever had!

PapillonOne

Great lunch buffet though not cheap at $10.99 & no beverage.

Scott Esplin

Great food at a reasonable price. We eat here regularly as a family and have had only good experiences.

Eddy Svidgal

Fast food by name but true real food and you cannot go wrong with a large burrito

Nichole Wilde

Gross. Kitchen area was dirty, crew was rude and the food was cold

R K

The food is good, most of the staff seems good, but there's a guy working on the weekends who seems like he can't be bothered to do his job correctly. He might be the manager or assistant manager, I don't know. Of the 5 or 6 times I've been a customer, I've seen him twice. Both times, he didn't bother to let the cheese melt on the nachos I ordered. He literally reached into the oven and yanked the nachos off the conveyor belt before they were fully heated up, saving him 10 whole seconds. I don't mind paying 10 bucks for a plate of nachos, if they're done correctly. But I felt ripped off the last couple of times. I'm on the fence about returning as a customer. The rest of the staff has been courteous and the food is good when prepared properly.

Beth Byce

I love cafe rio! It is a great place to go for fresh fast Mexican food. The sweet pork is to die for!

Mike Bateman

I love the sweet pork burrito & my wife loves the salad. Its easily enough food that you can save half of it for lunch the next day.

Sarah Richards

The meals were good, but there was a lot of salt in everything. I liked the freshness of everything.

Russ Barnum

Yummm

moriah wolters

Worst place I've been to in a very long time. I cant even tell you how bad it was. Never go here.

Monica Knight - Idaho Realtor

One of our favorite places to eat. Cafe style walk up and order as they prepare your food. Most popular menu items are smothered burritos and the sweet pork salad. The tomatillo ranch dressing is amazing.

Rachel Haddock

The food is really good and you can't beat the price. It does seem like there isn't a manager and everyone is new. But hey, the food is great!! I had two youbg boys who agree and could care less about the staff.

Andrea Bird

I LOVE Cafe Rio. They are so fast and thorough every time. (The pulled pork burrito is delicious)

Kathy Giralt

Kids free quesadillas? How can you go wrong? I love that you can watch your food as it's made from fresh ingredients. The food is good, but doesn't have a lot of "flavor". Slightly over priced, but the free quesadillas for kids help make up for it.

Leon Cox

I don't know if I am just spoiled with authentic mexican food or if it was really as bad as I think it was. The people are friendly and they do get your order right. But as far as food, I'll just go to Qudoba or Chipotle.

Ankita Dev

really great wheat tacos here

Robin England

Much more pricy then Costa Vida. Food tasted good... Friendly staff.

Searchorb

Good food fast and friendly service.

Diane Roberts

Great food. Fun atmosphere.

Jordan Bird

Yum! :-) Salad is the best, but can't go wrong with a quesadilla. Just make sure to get the tomatillo dressing on the side too.

Sarah B

Great fresh Mexican food! Healthy, farm fresh ingredients. Taco Tuesday is a great deal and fun night.

Brian Zenk

Satisfying a hungry spot

Jessica Steen

We love Cafe Rio! This particular one is clean and well kept. Bathrooms are always clean and nice. Food has been amazing. They do have a staff member or two that are ready to get you through the line and on your way, but for the most part, it's a good eating experience.

Jason Vargas

The food was delicious, but the restaurant was a little rough and needed to be cleaned.

Amber Cozad

This is one of my favorite places to eat. I go often and I know that some of the staff has been working there for years, so they are good at what they do. Often times, they recognize us and even remember what we usually order. It sometimes gets a little sloppy when the place is slammed, but seeing as how I have worked in restaurants or kitchens my entire adult life, I understand and choose not to judge harshly. I always have a good experience and am treated with respect by staff, especially when I give it to them.

Julie Wendel

Good food just hard to hear and understand some of the staff.

Danielle Tiddy

We eat here almost once a week. Super great fresh food. The tortillas are fantastic. My order was messed up and we didn't realize until we got home. I told them the next time we were in there and they ended up giving me a free meal and drink. Very kind people! Also kids can get a free Nino Quesadilla with orange slices for free. My kids love them!

Jason Schofield

Love the food! They are quick. They are in between fast food and sit down restaurants, and the price reflects that. Not too cheap, but not too pricey.

Rae Divine

Love their taco salad. Best prices in town on Taco Tuesday!

Chrissy Hachtman

Fresh and delicious!

Trina Thomas

Sweet Pork Barbacoa burrito is so good, I love the fresh homemade tortillas made here.

Mandi Avila

Fast service, good food but the new high school kids they hired for the weekdays are struggling! So many new people and they can't quite do the job right. Loved all the other people who used to work there

Andrew Nelson

Beats Chipotle and Qdoba. Enchilada style burritos with good grilled chicken. Lots of hot sauce options to choose from.

Ethan Morton

I came in Sunday afternoon with my boyfriend to get some lunch--we love the tostadas and salads (the sweet pork is delicious, and we love the fresh ingredients). After our experience in line, we were pretty dissatisfied with how unfriendly the staff was. The gal who took our order seemed unhappy to be there and even complained about having to work 12 hours (something that we've heard from the employees nearly every time we've been in). I totally understand how hard it can be to work long shifts like that (I've done traveling training--those 80 hour weeks are no joke), but something must be wrong if the staff is ALWAYS in a bad mood. It should be noted that the cashier handed one of the line servers cash, which they then accepted with gloved hands. I've managed at a few food service establishments locally, and am certified with an Idaho Food Handler's Permit--so this was a bit shocking to see. I hope that a manger sees this so that they can address this with the staff ASAP. The portions are also super inconsistent (sometimes you get a salad with little to no lettuce, and other times your quesadilla is all chicken and no cheese). It should also be mentioned that the lobby is always super dirty, and I can't think of one time where I've seen someone out there cleaning tables. I hope things change soon, because I honestly love a good tostada after floating the river and don't want to go to Costa Vida (their house sauce can not compare).

Melisa Abbott

Sunday fedeio is my favorite

Elena Webster

This place sucks. I asked for a double of rice instead of beans and they put a teny tiny spoon instead of a normal portion. And because they were “in a hurry” as well they messed up my order and put thing so told them not to put At the end it happened to be more expensive than the actual price Anyways, I’m really upset and I will tell my friends and family not to go there anymore

Srishti Hunjan

The salads are huge and really tasty!

Tina Ulrich

Love Thursdays 1.99 tacos

Amanda Horton

The food was super good, the little quesadilla for kiddos was perfect size for my little man. Everyone was very friendly, they even gave my son a dough ball to play with which he loved, and the apmasphere was great! Military mondays is a wonderful deal!

Joey Cochran

Everything you would expect from a Cafe Rio. Delicious. Fresh. Filling. The dinner is the desert. But don't overlook the tres leches.

Amanda Tacke

Good food at decent prices and large portions

Giovanna Garcia Tellechea

Best food ever. Great service. Clean place.

Andre Lucas

Great food and friendly staff

Jason Hopkins

Very nice location, and is a nice hotspot to meet with lots of people.

Larry Stegall, Jr.

Way to expensive for a soggy burrito that honestly is very bland.

Jane Wylie

One of the best restaurants in sweetwater county fresh food and very good service!!

Matthew Gogna

The staff was not knowledgeable about ingredients or allergenics. It appears no one had cleaning duty for the day. Food was less than appetizing.

Madelyn Moore

I have missed Cafe Rio. We don't have them in my area. Every bit as good as I remember

Frank Jonessian

Pleasant atmosphere

Joseph Tyre

Attentive customer service. Great USDA Steak. Enchalada style is the way to go. Easy take home tins built in.

Jesse Gihr

My girlfriend likes it a lot I just drive her there

Matt Nielson

Good food and good service

Sue Piotrowski

Love the barbacoa taco salad! Amazing food made fresh and delicious. I'm in love with the cilantro lime dressing.

Ryan Ferre

Their pork salad is so yummy! Highly recommended.

Josiah S.

Loved the food and low key atmosphere. Steak quesadilla! Super. I'll be coming back, great place for a family. Don't forget to tip the experts that make your food. :)

Julie Pallas

Seems to be a new crew. Taco meat was very watery made the shells too soggy and portion seemed smaller. Disappointed.

Damon Shaff

Always delicious. Very much enjoy the freshness.

Fred townsend

You get lots of good food for the money..

Connor Ward

Maybe doesn’t deserve the 1 Star because the food is pretty consistent with any other cafe rio, but they have terrible service! I ordered online it didn’t go through so I waited 25 minutes they didn’t have black beans and I paid 6 bucks for chips and queso with the queso cup barely filled 1/4 full with bottom of the container cheese.

Tiffany Waschuk

My biggest problem with Cafe Rio is their inconsistency. Their quality of food usually isn’t the issue but when half decent food is the only good thing, it’s time to find a new place. There is one lady who works here who is consistently very nice and friendly to everyone but for everyone else it depends on the day. Today I waited in like for 20 minutes for the people making my food to completely ignore me. Their portion sizes vary so much that I would go once and get a decent meal and the next time get half the portion of the same meal for the same price. Their prices are also more inconsistent then anywhere I’ve ever been before. I order the exact same thing every time I go and the price ranges usually from $9 and change to $10 and change but today my total was $13 and change. That’s a $4 price difference from low to high for the exact same order! I will not be going back.

Aaron Pyne

Fresh food, quick service.

Dale Bernfeld

Great food as always.

Karen Wegner

Food is always great. Staff is usually great, but have run into a couple who must really not be happy in their work

Denise Nicklay

Expensive for the amount of food. I was surprised how little beef I received. I spent $18 for entree, app (chips, salsa and guac) and drink...for one person. I still was hungry when I got home. I pay less at Qdoba for a meal and get more food...and am full! A Big City Burrito burrito for $8 can cover breakfast and lunch. The food was good, I will give them that, but not so great to outweigh the cost. There were only a few tables occupied for a Friday night. If they were more generous with their portions, this would have been a better review. Giving 2 stars for good flavor. I wont be back though.

Jeff Shada

Great fast food/ sit-down Mexican

Cody LARA

Was great food, but the line wasn't very long and it took awhile until we were able to order. Other than that great experience.

Benjamin Jacobson

Amazing food! Fresh made everyday! Phenomenal Ranch Dressing (best in the world) and incredible management! Such a gem to have this restaurant in Missoula!

Nathaniel Grimmett

Freaking love Cafe Rio. They do a student taco special here.

Liziane Giora

The plates are big, and prices are good. Food is fresh and staff is friendly.

Tom Cahoon

Cafe Rio has amazing food and the service was quick

Jennifer Brannon

Ron had the nachos and I had a vegetarian burrito. They were both great.

Alyssa Taylor

Love this place! I am so glad we have one in Rexburg now! The food is great but not authentic mexican so you need to have proper expectations. Always get the house dressing with anything you order! It's amazing!

Diane Winter

Always great always busy. Fast paced though. Pretty much everything is great

Bryant Larsen

We were passing thru town, and stopped to eat here. They were really busy, and an employee named Aria really helped us, and took care of everybody in the restaurant. We thought she was a great manager - and it turns out she was only a cashier. She took care of anybody and everybody. Anything that ran out, she refilled. Any food order mistakes, she fixed. It wasn't just us - it was for everybody. This is now our new favorite place to eat, because of the service by an employee who went the extra mile. Great food, great service. They should make her a manager!

Alicia Schwertz

Love cafe Rio! Besides having to wait for 20 -30 minutes I have no complaints!

Omarcito Vazquez

Great service and food! Best Horchata

River Water

The food was great but the customer service was terrible... They asked if i wanted cheese and i said no and they said "ok, whatever" and laughed at me.. Honestly broke my heart, why the hell would someone laugh at another person who can't have dairy!

dc cox

So here’s the deal Been a customer of Café Rio for over 15 years . But this was the First time I tried this one in Pocatello. My husband is gluten intolerant. So he ordered nachos with grilled chicken. There was not enough food to cover up the nachos, And if that was the worst of the offenses it would’ve been OK.. I ordered shredded beef burrito inch a lot of style . When I got my burrito it was pulled pork, When I told them ,they made me wait in line again. And when I got to the girl who made my Barito she actually argued with me. Told me I ordered pulled pork. I do not like pulled pork, I don’t like pork at all . They fixed my burrito and I got really happy I was excited to get to eat my shredded beef burrito. When I got a bite the rice was raw. I was so disappointed. My has been try to get the young ladies attention who was emptying the trash. She would not acknowledge my husband at all. so he went to the manager got Half the money back .Even though he ate his nachos we still ended up going. To panda express very disappointed .

Audrey Barrett

Kinda silly that when I place an order 45 minuets before I pick up it's still not ready... it's only a tuesday night...not that busy either. It's a stupid corporate policy I'm sure. Ridiculous.

Joe Hendricks

I absolutely love Cafe Rio! Every time I go in am pleased! 5 stars Price, portions, taste, freshness, clean and nice employees! Great rewards app also. Highly recommended.

Shawna Dutra

Always great food. Everything is fresh

Melissa H.

Love, Love, LOVE Cafe Rio. Sweet pork barbacoa is the best. Friendly staff. Clean facility & restrooms. Lots of choices for drink options.

Stephen Graham

Always the best food. But Prices have gone up. Overpriced now. Only go occasionally.

Tia McAndrew

Great employees they were all super nice and they were able to get everyone through quickly.

Tracy D.

I love their pork salads and burritos

Andrew Moore

Good service

Mike s

Cafe Rio is one of my favorite places to go if I want a meal without waiting a long time. The food is consistently good, and you don't have to wait, or pay extra for a tip. If you use the App, you can save a lot of money in the form of credit towards future meals. They have deals about every week to double your points or get some special promotion. They never fail to impress!

Melissa

The food is good. Sometimes bad customer service but ... the food is good!

Stephen Janssens

Poor portion control. Had to ask for extra everything in order to get a regular sized burrito.

Sara Docken

Nice to have healthy options. Can do vegan/vegetarian too

Eric Connors

Good food and good service! Plus free dessert if you fill out a survey.

Gilbert Reyes

Chicken salad with tortilla on bottom they only way i have salads now

Edward C

First time at a Cafe Rio despite being a big burrito fan. The house-made burrito shells alone are worth coming again for, as were the fresh marinated meats. I got a grilled chicken burrito and my friend got the taco salad. Both were impressively big and filling. Drink selection was decent and the horchata was solid, though a flavor was out for the entire duration we were there. Salsa selection was also a bit lacking, especially compared to California Tortilla or even Moe's, but better than Qdoba or Chipotle. The commercial salsa options were limited, but good picks despite that. Cost was higher than those other 4 burrito joints I mentioned, but imo worth it for the tortillas and grilled meat.

Alison Thompson

Awesome food, friendly staff.

fedner fleurant

The food was fresh and delicious.

Debbie Varras

Fish tacos are the best---but tried the steak tacos today and they were very good.

Neal Welch

Great Cafe Rio style food. But it wasn't very clean.

Alan Halls

The food is good but the store seemed dirty and the bathrooms didn't have any soap.

Kaylee Petersen

Love the Food. Their sweet pork taco salad is to die for. Along with their tres leche cake. Love how they even have horchata. It is always busy because it is good food. Could use a little more seating but I will take what i can get. Good Staff too!

Lindsey R

Off night??? We usually love this place. Service was very slow, it was like there was no one in charge. Food was ok. My guacamole was black. My quesadilla had a ton of meat, which is usually a plus, but it was just too much. They kept running out of items on the line and would ask for things one by one, stopping the line every time. I hope this was just an off night and next time we go we can give them 5 stars.

Karlia Lopez

This is the slowest cafe rio I've ever been to. Food was still pretty good though.

Just a Dude

Good food abd free quesodillas for kids. I wish they offered refried beans instead of black or pinto like costa Vida does but still great food and hefty portions.

melissa lawson

Sweet pork quesadilla is always on point.

Jay Call

Their food is so good and is reasonably priced. We especially love the horchata!

Doug VanOverbeck

Taco Tuesday my favorite day of the week

Sean Chambers

Always sold, in house fresh made tortillas, excellent shrimp tacos!

Bekki Pope

We love the Sweet Pork Barbacoa, and the flavor shots you can add to your drinks. Mmmmmm!

Joshua Noyce

I always love their food. When I get a burrito (which is every time) I like to get double rice and no beans. It is really good.

Chase Massey

Pretty quick service good for the price

Jj Garcia

this stuff cost way too much they charge you an extra dollar if the meat is grilled an extra dollar if you put cheese and have no grilled veggies or anything really AT ALL... Qudoba is the place to go it cost less it’s really good quality food and they don’t charge you extra for EVERY SINGLE THING. GO TO QUDOBA this is a WASTE of your money

Sandy Haralson

Great food...enchiladas and the salad. Yum. Very friendly and clean

Lidia Aroucha Dos Santos

Very bad.hated the food not done to please the costumers. The menu on the wall ... don't even bother...they don't have what is there. Never again. Dirty place.

Quinn Dexter

Super great portion size, depending on how hungry you are! Very filling and very good quality foods. However the price is very high for individuals, the burritos are about 10 dollars before any additions which is crazy for a single burrito. The line is quite long and takes a while. It's not a fast food restaurant though so long waits are expected. But other than that it's pretty great!

Kenya Summers

Delicious fresh Mexican- American cuisine! Very fresh and yummy ingredients, and homemade tasting tortillas made my visit stand out from other similar places.

Shawn Spence

Waiting in line for over 20 minutes before leaving for another restaurant. Not the restaurant's fault by any means.

Dan Spencer

Food is kind of messily thrown together, but it's absolutely delicious. The staff was fast and courteous, and the tables were pretty clean for the amount of people there. Mint lemonade is always out though :(

Cheyenne Oliver

This place is wonderful. Great food and amazing people!

Eric Austad

High quality ingredients and great service. Simple menu with fast turn around time. Very clean restaurant.

Gordon Fausett

It's all good!

Jeremy D

It's not REAL Mexican, but it's good. It's kind of Subway style, but with Tex-Mex food. This place REALLY needs to offer Mexican beer and margaritas, then it would be perfect.

Andrew

Their Tuesday special is amazing. Juan is always super happy to be there and I appreciate that! Always fresh and super tasty. I love a sweet pork salad with their house dressing. Also their steak or grilled chicken quesadillas are on point. Fresh tortilla's is the icing on the cake.

Derek Smotherman

I simply ordered a chicken taco and barely had any chicken! Chicken is cheap! Put some meat on there!

julia erickson

As always, food was outstanding. Staff members awesome. One even contributed cash as i had misplaced my debit card and did not have enough cash to cover my meal. Consistent food and service in 3 locations that are not close to each other

Matt Mullin

Hooray taco Tuesday!

William

The food is fresh and delicious! They have the best queso dip in the area!

Wes Alexander

They were flooded with customers from our massive church event and the staff all stayed extremely kind and worked as hard as possible to feed us all wonderful food. Definitely a great first time.

David Stump

Went for tres leches. To die for. Pork Barbacoa is totally delish! The house dressing is the best! I haven't had anything that I haven't liked at any Cafe Rio.

Ryan Neilson

Love this place. Good, fresh, fast casual dining. A step above Taco Bell. More selections than Chipotle and I'm torn between Cafe Rio or Qdoba for my favorite. Both are good every time

Levi Mecham

Good food and plenty of it.

Sara Garcia

Always good food whenever I go

Nikki Jenson

so fresh all the time

Lisa Nelson Sandstrom

Good as always.

Nails Nail

I would recommend the chicken.

Brandon Fritz

I would give them 1-star to help reduce the line when I'm starving for Cafe Rio, but that would be disrespectful to the business. Honestly a really good place for a good price. The sweet pork burrito with the hot sauce (not that hot) is the best!

Craig Steele

Not impressed by this Cafe Rio at all. Typically I love the food and am impressed by the employees, but this store was terrible. The lady who was making our food looked angry and like she was not happy to be working at all. She asked if I wanted all the toppings on my tacos and before I could answer to tell her I didn't want lettuce it was already on top of my tacos. The food was okay. Chips and Salsa weren't up to par and their beans and rice were cold. They bathrooms here were awful as well. Went into the bathroom and there was urine all over the floor, an unflushed toilet, and a broken soap dispenser that was just sitting on top of the paper towel dispenser. This restaurant did not live it up the standards I have set for Cafe Rio and I will not be returning to this location in the future.

Megan Guerrero

Always amazing!!! I love the pork burrito {enchilada style of course} and the red sauce- it’s called the hot sauce but it’s actually less spicy than the green— and I love the steak salad with the vinaigrette dressing. Mouth is watering as I type this...

Karena Jane Cherry

Ok Mexican food. Good service. Kinda spendy.

Jen Andrus

Great American Mexican food! Great service! It can get a little busy as it is next to campus but you can order online and pick up. They do a great job putting all the food together and making sure u have everything u need. Utensils, multiple orders labeled, items on the side, etc.

nathan palmiter

Always have loved cafe Rio no matter where, but this crew shines as an example to all others, working fast and being friendly through every step of service.

Wyatt Harris

My favorite is to get the pork in a burrito. Rice usually crunchy.

Luan Church

Zero stars servers don't seem to care much about customers they just rush your tray along to get to the next order and out of the way. I waited in line for 30min with 5 children. Annoyed I was by their rudeness I noticed immediately who the manager was by the smirk he gave when he just splashed the extra ingredients I wanted and how he was rushing the servers. I should've waited till the cafe Rio in west bountiful their much nicer and professional.

Melissa

The prep line is always super dirty and this last time I went I got food poisoning. Portions are always inconsistent as well. ( 2 days ago)

SporatiK MusiK

Nice atmosphere

Elle

Good food. Great drink selection. Good prices. Great place to eat outside on a nice day.

Daniel Burgoyne

Best horchata in town hands down And the management is awesome!!!!

J WG

Really quick service. Employees seem stressed out but they work hard.

Robert Dresden

Can't go wrong with the sweet pork! Love the daily specials too. Tamales are great. Highly recommend the sweet pork enchiladas

Stephen Vaughn

Great food, great portions and a great atmosphere

Lynley Sharp

Quality has gone down since last visit, service still very slow, but over all, my pork tacos wtw still tasty.

Jennifer Nelson

Yummy food!

LeAnn Komis

Usually the service is quick, however this last time it took over an hour to get through the line, ordered and leave.

Nick King

Tasty food a little pricey though

Maria Sharia

It’s one thing to get bad service on a Sunday night. Be served cold food and have teenage employees careless. Then when you call on a Monday and the manager is too good to get on the phone and directs an employee to field his calls, the place won’t last long ! BAD MANAGEMENT !

Jesse O'Driscoll

It's good

Kitty Cornwell

Giant servings of tasty food and a full atmosphere.

Emanuela Torres-Marquis

I found this place after looking for restaurant similar to Costa Vida just to find out there's beef between the two companies. However, the food was great and you can definitely tell the ingredients are fresh. The queso actually hardens like real cheese. Definitely will be back, it didn't disappoint and it's better than all those other burrito places. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is I did have to wait a while to order my food (there was only 1 person in front of me) and I wish the tortilla was warmed on the stove before hand like it's supposed to. The employees were all nice and ALLEN was especially helpful.

A Lloyd

Keep going back for more! Love Taco Tuesday!

Maggie Smith

Yummy. Like every other cafe rio

Mag Morales

I am glad there is an option for Chipotle(which is decent), but Cafe Rio is the freshest you can find around. Is a joy to eat super fresh food and the options are great.

Joshua Malan

This place is always fantastic! Great service, especially the young lady that works there who's name is Hali, she is why we keep coming back!

Erik Martinez

My past couple visit have been somewhat frustrating. I like to get some of their house dressing on my tacos and they always try to put it on the side in order for them to be able to charge me. So I always ask them to put them on my taco. my last visit for this one the young woman put it on the side and I told her I didn't want to pay for it and she told me that I don't have to pay for it and that it's free. so my issue is that I go in today and get my usual and ask for the dressing on the side and they charge me a dollar for the dressing. Like wth? I'm confused. Do y'all or don't y'all charge for the damn dressing?

Luke Bullard

Good burrito, lines seem shorter compared to most Cafe Rios.

Liz Carter

The tres leches cake might be the best that I've ever had! My family loves this place!

Suitable Dinosaur

Sometimes have bad wait but really good service

ian Webster

Food was good, dining area was dirty and messy. It was quite at the time only us and and another couple there. Almost all tables were dirty. Trash cans full etc.

Shady McLady

I love eating here! My favorite thing to get is a sweet pork salad with extra sweet pork! Yum!

Kaylee Haines

Lets be real here, every cafe rio is amazing and I wish I could review them all, but one will have to do. Their food is delicious! I can get everything on the menu and like it which is crazy for me because I usually end up defaulting to one thing at restaurants! It's not too expensive which is great and you can have them make your meal the way you like it because they make it right in front of you! We always take people here from out of town and they always want to go back for more! Great place!

Kendra Brooke

Manager on duty tonight was amazing! And the food is always great!

Liz Morley

I really like Cafe Rio but, we didn't have a good experience. It was really bad. We ordered online and I was really dissatisfied. It said the kids meal came with an orange, it didn't. The fish tacos were 90 percent lettuce, fish was super dry, and there wasn't any cheese or sauce. And one came with the longest cilantro stalk I've ever seen. That same one had rice that wasn't cooked all the way. The quesadillas weren't cut and were missing sides. The online menu was really confusing. It gave options for no guac, sour cream etc. And then options for on the side guac, on the side sour cream etc. We choose on the side so everything came in a small plastic container which was fine cause but one had sour cream in a cup, the other just had a tiny bit on top of the lettuce. Only one had a tiny bit of guacamole also just on the lettuce. We also weren't given any drinks. The person who picked it up wasn't the one who ordered so they didn't know, but the employee should have given the drinks that were ordered and paid for. And the person picking it up asked if it was everything so they should have made sure they gave us everything.

George Deaton

Food was average, service was good

Carey Palmer

The food is pretty good and they have some unique drinks. However, the price is a little high. They do have specials on certain days. I will return and try some of the specials.

Pankaj Agrawal

Not very good. I would prefer chipotle anytime

Jeniffer Serrano

My first time here and the service wasn’t great. The cashier told me I couldn’t have a fork and napkin for my take out order because “it’s only for online orders”. It’s the little things that make or break customer experiences guys. I hope you learn that in order to evolve the business.

A Sanns

Delicious and well priced. Taco Tuesday is the best.

Yvonne Duff

American Mexican food. Gringos style and a tad salty!

Matthew Doyle

Fantastic food and different taste than other fast casual Mexican style restaurants around. Great drink choices with only one negative - seating. Managers are stating that a fix is coming but the table squatting is high at lunch so you may have to enjoy your meal on the outside patio.

BRITAIN MEETS MINECRAFT

I didnt actually go i just waited there

Carmen Hernandez

I am Mexican,.and I can say their food it is fast and quite authentic. The salsas are so good. I like the fact that everything is so fresh. They offer wheat tortilla a healthy option for me. I enjoy the way they prepared the meat. I enjoy coming to eat here. Clean, fresh ingredients, fast service, reasonable price and authentic Mexican food. Ahh nd they offer free quesadilla for little kids. My family that came.to visit loved it. What's not to like?

Connor Bushman

Cafe Rio is my favorite place to go out to. They give you just what you want exactly how you want it. The workers there are very nice and helpful and always give great service, there was a little wait time but it goes fast. The tables and seats were a little messy, but they clean them good. My favorite thing to get is the Pork Burrito for its genuine delicious pork and tortillas, it always makes my mouth water. The food looks great and the quality of it is top of the line. At Cafe Rio there is something for everyone, they even have kids quesadillas. There are many places you can go where Cafe Rio is there. Its the perfect place to hang out with family or friends. I give Cafe Rio 5 stars for being great.

Lilith Fantasies

So delicious and the tres leches cake is amazing, also I love that they have horchata!

Harmony Seemiller

Staff is incompetent and disappointing. Chicken was dry and tasted burnt. Entire experience was bad. Will not be back - Moes or Chipotle are a thousand times better.

Donna WESENBERG

Great food, fresh and yummy!

Robert

Not awful but not very genuine either. It tasted kind of sweet and sugary to me. I wish I'd gone to a taco truck down the street instead.

Dorene Reyes

I love all your burritos that aren't hot there delicioso

Jessica Torres

I ordered Thursdays Special, 2 Sweet Barbacoa Tamales, smothered with a side of beans and rice. Superb! Great flavor, love their black beans, and great price, meal plus a beverage for $7.59.

Lumminus

They have amazing tacos, a variety of different Mexican food items, and they have a nice design. They also have a soda fountain with different flavor bottles to the side of it so you can make your drinks unique.

Janice Tsai

I wanted to order Fajitas, but the veggies were not ready yet. I ordered tostadas with steak instead, which was loaded with all the good healthy stuff. The amount of food was enough for two meals, in my opinion. It’s great that they make it easy for people to take leftover home — just ask for a plastic cover for the tin foil bowl and you are good to go!

mark Malicoat

I was impressed how good the food and portions were!

Stephen Self

Love the customer service was lacking

Travis Morris

Fresh and delicious!

Raconah

The server cleaned something, did not change her gloves, and touched our food. Nasty.

Jeff Goodell

Best place to eat in WYO.

lisa delk

They only get the orders right half the time but the food is good

Eric Lords

I rated this a 1 star but if I could give it a 0 I would. It never fails that when I go to this restaurant they are out of something. Most times it is steak, but today it was chicken, steak and black beans. Very poorly managed.

Jodi Canoy

As busy as they were, the line moved quickly. The food, as always, was delicious.

Damon Sasso

This place is a joke! I don’t even know where to start. They have great food and a ridiculously friendly staff. Get this, I was asked how my day was and they actually listened to what I had to say. At no point did they display any attitude or frustration with the fact I didn’t know the menu. If you are looking for a typical experience steer clear.

Joey B

Even when this place is packed completely to the door, the line moves quite quickly. The staff are really nice. I was with someone that has to have gluten free food, they were super accommodating. Changed their gloves and made sure her food was handled with care. The nachos are the bomb and their tacos are pretty great too.

Brannon Williams

Sweet pork Salad and quesadillas are the best!

L Boren

I've been a loyal Cafe Rio customer for over 20 years, since their first store in St. George. They are definitely not on their A-game today. We found woody lettuce cores & avacado stems in our food. There are no limes to be had after multiple requests & the employees don't really care. Disappointing in light of their (usually) good food & decent service. Update: REDEMPTION! An employee just brought some fresh-cut limes & apologized for the delay. Kind gesture, much appreciated. Upgraded to 4 stars.

David Massey

Well...I cannot complain about the taste of the food. I thought it was great. But a few of the people behind the counter...seemed to be in a place and at a job they hated. Fair enough. But it telegraphed through. Kinda loud there too as if they have blowers going. But in the end the food was put into bowls and the food was eaten and enjoyed. I would eat there again.

Allen Jordan

Fast and great quality. They are a bit spendy but decent food. House sauce is a hidden gem. Recommend on everything.

Sara Rae

They food is good, great chips and the pork Barbados is great. However DO NOT DO TAKE OUT. I've consistently had issues. Expect to wait 30 minutes longer than the expected time. It's faster to just get in line usually. One time I was early and there was no line, not a single customer, and they refused to start my food.... so I canceled it and they made it for me in line. When they first opened they were great, I hope that if they see enough reviews they'll do something to change.

Tanisha Shedden

I love it lots of options it's fast yummy and customizable

Russ Duncan

Tortillas and sweet pork barbacoa are top notch.

Niamh McGoff

Tasty fast Mexican. Large portions

Landon Herndon

Good food and service

David Harris

It's always good with the food made on site.

Pam Rusk

Placed order to go for 4 people and the order was perfect!

Julian Rodriguez

First time there. Had the Chile roast beef burrito. It was really tasty. It was also quite big. I ate it in two sittings.

K Homme

We arrived durning the lunch rush and it took forever to get through the line. The employees didnt seem like it was a big deal either. They were jacking around behind the counter. Some of the people in line actually left. The food was ok. They do have fresh tortillas and make some of the food fresh. They have a beverage area with several kinds of drinks which is nice. Non-alcoholic. I guess if I was to go back it would be not during a busy time.

Isaac Alldredge

Favorite Mexican Fast Casual

skullcrack 100

Good food good service

Melina Ylinen

Best tasting fresh food. I love the chicken salad with black beans and they have the best sweet pork burrito I've ever had. Never had a disappointing meal or experience.

Sam

Food is usually good. If you come at noon or at dinner-time prepare to wait in line though. Occasionally I'll get a soggy piece of lettuce in my salads but other than that they're pulled pork is wonderful and the pricing is pretty good for what you get

Ryan L.

Fantastic ingredients for the caliber of the restaurant! Definitely returning!

Joy Klein

Good food with many options. Enchiladas are served stacked not rolled. They also have a unique quesadilla.

Daniel Ranson

This is not your normal cafe rio restaurant. It’s a food court. And don’t try the take out. We called our order in, and they told us we’d have our food in 15 minutes, Awesome! When we got there, the lady made me way for 10 minutes and forgot about me. I went to follow up, and she ran to the line, and they said that they hadn’t even started our order and that they were sorry. After 25 minutes of waiting, she said they’re out of black beans, haha. 30 minutes after we arrived, we finally got our order. The food was ok, the portions were a smaller than I normally get at a Cafe Rio. So, not that pleased with this location.

Kristel Gazzola

Always love it, their queso is literally addictive! The best queso I have had! Everything is on point, even the staff.

Haboob AZ

Tasty food and a little different variety than Chipotle.

Frank Z

Decent food at a decent price.

Rhett Oler

If you want to get sick from food poisoning and then be told by the General Manager that it wasn't his product that caused it, then this place is perfect for you! I normally cook all my meals and rarely eat out, my wife and I eat all the same meals. But when we do go out, we hope to have quality food, that won't make you sick, as a consumer should. Having said that, I was the only one to consume the Cafe Rio order that day. And as a result, I was the only one to be sick. Yet the General manager claims it is impossible, even though another customer complained about the guac that day, saying it tasted funny, which is made with the same fresca that made me sick. They threw the guac away, yet kept the fresca out to be given to all the trusting consumers that day. A quality General Manager would recognize this mistake and take action to make the situation right, which starts with, I am so sorry...What can we do to make this upto you. But by negating all claims and arguing, rather than listening to reason, and the only common denominator being the fresca, it just displays why this location struggles. Poor management!

I RYAN

Not many options around this town. Cafe Rio was comparable to a Chipotle. I had some Nachos, nothing remarkable about the food. They did have self serve Horchata though, which was not too bad

Jeff Wilkinson

Dirty tables, floors and restrooms. Service was slow and I even got a bone in my shredded chicken! One of my worst experiences yet. Party off 8 and only a few were satisfied.

Holly Shoup

So so yummy!!!! I love the chicken salad!

Vickie Storey

Good salad. Generous servings.

Johnathan Parkerson

Cafe Rio and Chipotle are probably tired of being completed to each other, but it's understandable when you see the layout and menu. The items are similar, but Cafe Rio comes out on top with more options that are all a step above Chipotle's offerings in my opinion. In addition, the tres leches is the most authentic one that I've found outside of family owned Mexican restaurants.

Carlos Eduardo Rocha

A nice place to go with friends and good food

Hey Mamá!

Food is fresh and great even when we get it to go.

SueAnn Smith

Terrific choices of meat, salsas, salad, homemade tortillas

Ashley Anderson

Cafe Rio: the strip mall trough you settle for on days when you respect yourself just a little more than eating a Subway sandwich.

Samantha Newbould

Food was fresh and we got quick service.

Molly Tester

I'm so addicted to this place, fresh everything!

Nels Rowsey-Wilkins

Always good food and quick service.

Allen Juan

It is a cult, and I am definitely in this cult, love this restaurant

isaac aldous

Love the sweet pork burrito, and the house dressing goes great on the salads or anything for that matter

Scott Pierce

Great service, food and prices. Excellent Veterans discount.

James Smith

Arrived at 5pm for dinner with my wife. The place was nearly empty of customers and no line to order. Upon ordering, I was disappointed with the amount of chicken on my fajitas, which was fine. The guacamole didn't look fresh, it was a strange shade of brown and runny. When we headed to get a table, we discovered over half of the tables were dirty and the trash was filled to the top. Our food was just okay. Not a great experience.

Kiko Estrada

Only stopped here to use the restroom but they seemed very nice and very clean facility and the food smelled so great

S Robinson

Cafe Rio is consistently good. Good quick Mex, decent atmosphere, nice place to take kids. Good for work lunches, taking kids, etc - there is something for nearly every palette!

Greta Clark

The food was fabulous. Staff was great. Loved the daily special. Portions were fulfilling.

Josh Aldred

Really clean and professional since the remodel

Jared Fulcher

Excellent food and service. Always enjoy my visits here.

Christian Halversen

Great food. Easily the biggest cafe Rio location I've been too - good open feeling.

Walter Johnson

Great food and price for portion s

Terry Bogucki

It was good, sweet pork burrito. A little wet as usual.

Guy Kenison

Delicious and love the phone app coupons!

CthulhuBob Lovely

The staff were friendly and the place was relatively clean, and that's all the positive I can say about it. Their menu items have a certain definition and "Would you like anything else?" is extra per item, which of course they don't tell you. For example, we paid $1.19 for a tablespoon of avocado--not guacamole, just puréed avocado. I had a fire roasted chicken enchilada with "hot" sauce. The tortilla was kind of grey, and was dry and tough. The chicken was also dry and tough. The "hot" sauce was undetectable. My black beans were okay but the rice was utterly bland. My girlfriend's "soft shell taco" was a grey, dry, tough tortilla which contained nothing but dry, hard, partially shredded beef and some lettuce, with a little picante on the side. We will never go back

Jeb Wild

Fast Mexican food. Busy parking lot but good food.

Kristi Larson

I've always had positive experiences when visiting Cafe Rio. The food is fresh and always tastes great! The staff is always helpful and friendly as well!

Joe Taylor

Another great visit to a great restaurant. This time I try the shredded chicken quesadilla. Probably my new favorite on the menu.

Mandy Gunderson

Amazing handmade tortillas! Best pork burritos. Get it "enchilada style." They offer discounts for police & firefighters. Get here early for lunch, they fill up quickly!

Matthew Hogan

Always good eats here. Fire grilled chicken burrito, get it.

This cafe rio sucks, and has sucked for the whole time it’s been open, and yet again I am reminded why I don’t go here. I asked for three orders of tortillas (which should include two small in each order), and they just gave me three smalls. They also don’t know how to make the fish taco correctly (double corn tortilla, cabbage, cilantro and cream sauce with lime), even with me explaining it to them three times they still made it wrong, then acted upset when I asked them to make it correctly. They threw it together in about 10 seconds (cold, didn’t even warm up the corn tortillas). Their kids ninos have like just a smidgen of cheese in it and are folded over 10%, and don’t even worry about asking for a side of rice or beans, they do like 1/2 a spoonful and that’s it, compared to all other cafe Rios that fill the side bowl. Kids here don’t care about the clients, and management is still lacking on basic customer service training. I should just learn my lesson and stop giving them another chance every 6 months...

Jon Friedman

I went here twice over the a week or two, and I wont go back. I thought my first bad experience was a fluke since I usually like Cafe Rio. But going back a second time confirmed to me that I should spend my time and money someplace else. I like Cafe Rio because of their food quality, but this one has neither good food quality or good service. The first time I went I was one of two people ordering with two or three people working the food line. The person helping me rushed me through the line. He only asking me what I wanted on my dish as a formality since he started dishing it up before I told him what I wanted on it. I felt feeling like they didn't care about the service they gave and expected me expect what they gave me to eat. The second time I thought that they could redeem themselves since I usually like Cafe Rio. But The same thing happened even though I was the only person ordering and eating that time. I took an early lunch. I am disappointing in this Cafe Rio. Poor service is the downfall to this Cafe Rio.

Richard Tuite

Very good small hot springs.

George Torres

Amazing portions, good value. It can get crowded!

Cian Maes

Haven't been this impressed by a Mexican restaurant in a long time!

Francis Lewis

Cafe Rio has some of the best in-store made tortillas! I'm kind of addicted to them. I feel this is probably the best Mexican food this area has to offer, and food is always ready fast.

Jeff Means

Holy cow this was amazing, I had their steak quesadilla and was given a comment card on my receipt with a free dessert for commenting on the meal. The quesadilla was great crunchy on the outside melty goodness on the inside. Then I folded or the short survey and was given a choice for a dessert so since I was not completely full I used it then. Their tres lechies are bleeping mind blowing, I wanted to lick my bowl clean it was that good. I can't give them a lesser rating than perfect.

Jeffrey Roberts

The grilled chicken burrito was most excellent! Service was spot on.

Benjamin Bandy

Very tasty and fresh. Definitely on par with Chipotle, with some nice differences. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly, I will definitely go back for more.

Julio Quinonez

The tacos were excellent. The fresh Tortillas were perfect. They have a good variety of fillings and options. They were very busy but the food was made quickly.

Jorden Hunter

Love the food here, as always! The lady at the front was so kind to us! She went above and beyond to make sure we understood what was in our burritos (I'm really picky). I think her name was Rebekah or something? Either way, thanks for the lovely experience!!

B Glass

Always great food and friendly staff.

Beau Merrill

This place is fast for the volume. They do a great job of keeping things clean. Every once in a while they do run out of basics.

Grant Ward

Delicious modern Mexican food, quick ordering, however there is often a long line of college students. They used to give a free drink to students that showed their ID, but now they don't. I would suggest ordering over the phone or on the app and then picking it up, saves a lot of standing time.

Yulia Avdeyeva

Food is excellent! almost cant survive a week without their amazing Salad with Cilantro Lime dressing. Thank you very much for being great!

Melba Torres

Amazing food and fast

Terra Moon

Consistently poor service, missing menu items when it was the special for the day, and closing an hour and 5 minutes earlier than website & door times say. The worst was when there was hair in food. When the poor customer service has been brought to their attention they just apologized but never made an effort to correct it. I love Cafe Rio but this location needs some help.

Christopher Sanchez

Good food reasonably priced not spicy

Shane Owens

Love the pork buritos

alex

Always very yummy and fresh. Good prices and good for something on the go.

Jeff Fetgatter

It's okay for a change of pace but personally prefer Qdoba or Chipotle for quick service Mexican food.

Randal Slutz

I really like Cafe Rio! Their food is better than their main competitor because it is less sweet! My only beef is with the fact you can't get extra spicy! What most people call extra spicy, I call mild or maybe medium. I really like the choices you get to make! The price of the food is neither modest or excessive.

Dustin Earl

Busy place, but the food is always great!

Matthew Curtis

This location is a a lot cleaner than the AF counterpart. I still hate paying the little extra when getting a burrito smothered. They have a picture of a smothered burrito saying starting at $8.99. but smothered is extra. I get it anyway because it's delicious. Still stupid. Good food for the price. you get a lot of it and it's pretty tasty. definitely craving inducing. this is a lack luster review because it's a pretty basic place. if ya haven't been here you have been living under a rock.

Adam Smith

Great service, food was great! The cooks working the line were very friendly and filled my vegetarian order perfectly. Would recommend eating here.

JaeLyne Bates

My God, can they be slow!! Definitely don't go during dinner/lunch rush if you're on a time crunch. I think we probably spent at least 25-30 minutes in line just waiting to get up to the front! BUT their food is freaking delicious! The Sweet Barbacoa Pork is my favorite- so yummy! I saw you can order online and skip the line, that may be the way to go with these guys!

Eric Geyer

Food is fine, service is friendly, but their process to prepare and serve the food is slow

Robert West

Great food

Lexi White

Sauces always seem to be watered down, no real flavor to the food. Pork definitely overcooked as well as undercooked rice. Employees are rarely nice, they always seem to want to rush you out. Definitely cutting corners here. Costa Vida is 100x better.

Jayson Scopel

Food is good. We started going when they couldn't even fit lids on the to go order salads... trying to increase profits by decreasing portion sizes is a one way ticket to dissatisfied customers. Resulting in a loss in profits... so, I would say portion sizes are adequate, but not what they used to be... hence a loss of 1 star. Other star... just cause it's not a 5 star restaurant...

Leroy Pollard

Great food and good service.

Keiry S

The quesadillas are delicious. The rest of the food ia okay. Worth returning for the quesadillas though

Peggy Huestis

GREAT FOOD & SERVICE

clarence wright

Good the foods not to bad.

Clint Davison

Good stuff! Kind of a long wait, but the food is fresh and really good!

craig fizer

Our family eats here 1-2 today times per week. Foods fresh and flavorful. Need to greatly improve customer service and efficiency. however. I was one of two customers w one employee working the line. The lengthy wait(5-10 min) prompted this review. Other employees performing prep tasks in trear (within sight), never looked back. Also, believe manger(blue polo) was within site. Long wait never acknowledged, food was not as fresh as past. Given time of day food had been clearly sitting for lengthy time.Hopefully they’ll address the concerns so they can survive long haul.. Great food when served properl

Queennie Liesh

Best ever tasted good food her in the area. it was remarkable super delicious and deserve to have a 5 star rate and with their friendly staffs. It was great service after all.

Ben Sanchez

I moved from Salt Lake city to Rexburg a month ago, Cafe Rio was one of my favorite places until tonight. I got a carryout order burrito and I felt it too salty, after digging a little bit I found big chucks of seasonig salt all over the rice. I couldn't return to the store bacause it was closed so I decided to write review about this hoping they will be more careful next time.

Summer Eno

I would give a 3 star rating buuut the tables, chairs and high chairs were all gross dirty! The high chairs were the worst.. looked like they'd never been cleaned

Mallorie Hamel

The food is always amazing. Sometimes the peoples attitudes are not very good But I love the food quality and how fat they are.

Trevor Grigg

Good food but always slow. They are always so slow at checking people out. They need to observe chipotle, they swipe peoples cards fast and get them out of there.

Lovely Gracie

Always quick and delicious, love the homemade tortillas!

Chuck L

Cafe Rio food is great and consistent. It's a great value and we eat here often. They have a good loyalty program that you use via a smartphone app' which is worth the download.

Dayvid Lauman

Love this place. Especially this location. They're usually pretty quick to get customers through line, even when busy. Food is always delicious here, and the facility is always clean.

Mj4Doctor Who

Good food

Griffin Hagen

Great service for great food

I have been a long time customer of Cafe Rio, Great Falls. I have never been so disheartened as I have been over the past 2 months when I go there for meals. The food itself is not really the issue because I know people make mistakes occasionally, we all do. But my main concerns are with the employees, management especially & their total disregard for the customer, customer service, & employee shaming. I plan on giving examples of what I personally have witnessed and hope that the Corporate Offices will assess & remedy these issues. I have noticed there has been a high turnover in employees and I wonder if the management has a large role in this. I have personally witnessed the new male manager belittle & shame his employees for asking him a question, for pointing out his mistakes when he has made an order incorrectly, for asking for help on ringing up customers, or for asking a legitimate question that a customer has asked. He seems to get stressed & frazzled when the restaurant gets busy. I've witnessed the female manager screaming at, belittling employees in front of customers calling them "stupid" or "idiots". I refuse to use the restroom if I have seen this same female manager exit the restroom because everytime I have gone in after her, the restroom reeks of weed. My husband has come out of the men's room after a couple of the young male employees & noted the same smell. I have witnessed customers complaining of being rushed through or being talked rudely too by employees & management. Customer Service Training is highly recommended. There are a couple of pleasant employees I've seen that seem to care about the customers, customer service, & their jobs. I've always been greeted & treated respectfully by the male manager that's been there a while, the older African American gentleman, a couple of the line cooks & a newer cashier. These employees need to be valued. My husband and I will continue to keep coming to eat here as we enjoy the food but we also hope that there will be less negativity/disrespect and more positivity & pleasant experiences.

James Moore

Their food is good. Not great, but a good solid good. The thing that kills me every time is the price. If I'm paying $10 for a burrito, it had better be awesome. They aren't, which is why I don't go more. My wife makes a better burrito. Why should I go here? I love going there when they have deals though.

Maria Adams

Really friendly staff, good food, they have handmade drinks which was really cool. The food is served kind of like at chipotle, but you don't feel as pressured if you don't know exactly what you want, they take their time, and you see everything being made. It also has a pretty cool interior, and outside seating

Lindsay Meadows

I love Cafe Rio but the Manassas location is hit or miss. Ordered online this time. I always check my order to make sure everything is there, and if course..No salad dressing (two salads order) not to mention I paid extra on the other three order for dressings. It took me going through 4 people, 2x to get what I paid for. Literally laying out my receipt and placing the appropriate dressing by the order. Reading the receipt details was challenging for everyone. Listening to the customer was a close second. Biggest dissatisfaction was when we got home. My pork salad (ordered correct, receipt correct) had no pork. My husband's salad also ordered correct, had No Guacamole. All other entrees we requested Guacamole on the side...nothing was on the side. They simply just didn't give it at all. After many experiences, our take away...you have to order face to face and watch everything, be prepared to point at everything you want to make sure they know. Note: I would not take the time to write a negative review (I understand bad days happen) this just seems to be a trend. I hope they turn it around because the food is excellent.

Hanna Fife

One of my absolute favorite restaurants! You've got to try a burrito "enchilada style." It's famous all over the West and I'm so happy a location finally opened in Florida!

Jenni Herin

Wonderful fast Mexican food place! If you're looking for some thing to grab and eat later or if you're in need of something filling right now definitely reccomend Cafe Rio. It is pricey though. Trust me it's worth it! They can gladly take my 15 for two tacos, rice and beans, and a drink.Its GREAT food, nice customer service, and it fills me up after ever meal.

Matthew Alvarez

Amazing restaurant. I had been eating at all the Vegan restaurants the past week and just wanted to get a simple rice and bean burrito. Cafe Rio exceeded my expectations. The burrito was incredible. Stuffed to the hilt with beans and rice. To make matters better we showed up on a Tuesday and burritos were just $5.99 instead of the usual $9.99. I highly recommend this restaurant. The tortillas are made on the spot, then filled with fresh ingredients. Their sauce bar is amazing. And the ice machine at the soda fountain has awesome little cubes!

Elizabeth F

Two separate times after ordering using the app, have walked in with the food not ready and walk-in orders ready before my very simple order. What's the use of preordering if it means staying later than the extremely slow line? Telephone orders have been a lot faster, which makes me think there's lack of communication with the app. It's also annoying that I can't get any points unless I remember to scan in the receipt.

EJ S

Fist time for me. We had a total party of about 15 people. We just walked in, and they killed it! Fast polite service, Great food!

steph p

Hands down the best Cafe Rio in northern Colorado!!! I have eaten at so many and this is by far my favorite. The food is delicious everytime!!!! The employees are so sweet and accommodating with the best manager out there. He is supportive to his team and remembers his customers. Keep up the great work.

Anne Bingham

Good and fresh like always. This location doesn't have the spicy pork. The "mango salsa" is more like a compote or chutney--cooked fruit instead of fresh that I was expecting, and too sweet. Shrimp tacos were good, would have been better without the breading. Love the fresh corn tortillas.

J Woodruff

Cafe Rio is among my favorite restaurants. Their quality is unmatched and their process is perfected. I like the atmosphere and the food always takes great! If you haven’t tried all their menu items I highly recommend to venture out and get creative. I’m always a fan of the smothered burrito and you definitely can’t go wrong there but there is a lot more to experience and some really outstanding flavors in all their selections. And don’t forget to try their selection of drinks. Their Horchata is amazing and I really love their lemonades.

Amy Jones

I am disappointed over multiple visits where this restaurant will not carry all of their specialty drinks until close. If they run out at 4 pm they will not refill their horchata even though they are open for hours still, this drink is one of the reasons we love to go to this restaurant. The staff are not very friendly here either.

N B

Could definitely have friendlier staff but we can put up with it because this brings us back to UT.

Peggie Michael

Great food that's fresh. The tortillas are made fresh and you can watch them cook. I love all the flavors and how you can add extra sauce or pico to your order. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant. A great place for lunch or dinner.

Sucy CHB

Food is great ! Prices are reasonable. The only thing that needs improvement would be the lights don’t work on the outside sitting area.

Jessica Remington

The steak was dry, and the staff was obviously miserable. I’ve never seen it so dirty in my life. There were only a few familys in there and we had to search for a clean table. You couldn’t even throw your food away the trash was so full. It was not a good experience.

Niels Olsen III

Great food and a relaxing experience with an awesome drink selection. The price is extremely reasonable for what you get too.

Zuleika DelValle

I can't get enough of this food! I always get the tostada and it never fails...it's delicious! The ingredients are taste so fresh. Keep up the good service as well!

Keith lutz

First time in and staff was super unprofessional rushing people through like cattle and giving attitude, I can only assume they weren't trained on people skills, tried serving large cores of lettuce instead of changing out the bottom barrel stock, burned my girls tortillas busy hooking up friends than skimpy with us. Daily special only had 2 protein choices and 1 of 2 was a $1.50 upcharge with no mention of that anywhere. I was there today considering hiring to cater for a party of 200.....y'all blew that gig!!

steph cyn

I just want to say that I love this place, but what makes me come back all the time is the customer service and Dulce she is by far amazing. And I just want to give credit where it is due. Thank You Dulce! Keep making this place better.

Samuel Moore

One of my favorite lunch spots. It’s a lot like Chipotle but I believe the food is much better. If your hungry I recommend the burrito they are massive. If you become a regular make sure that you have their app it’s worth it for free meal ever few visits.

Laura James

I love Cafe Rio! I always get the salad with shredded chicken. Staff are very friendly. It can get very busy and noisy. Portioning is great and food is delicious.

Xaerie Namnori

I loved this place! I was on a hunt for good food to make me feel closer to home, it was the best Mexican food I had when visiting Utah. Local co-workers said there is better out there but I added this place to my favorites. It was delicious and they did not disappoint! I'd return if I ever found myself there again.

Matthew Morency

I'd have to say this place was kind of a mixed bag... The tortillas were awesome and tasted homemade... somewhat translucent in some places so you know they use lard (the way they should). The vegetables all tasted pretty fresh too, although a little under-seasoned. The meat was kind of where it went south for me.... The steak looked to be a really thin top round cut into uniform strips. Not the fanciest of cuts one might use for fajitas. As yoiu can probably guess, the strips weren't too flavorful either, due to the absence of any fat in this particular cut, and subsequently it seemed to be a bit dry and just looked unappetizing overall. My partner disliked their meal even more. A chicken salad which received negative marks for having huge pieces of lettuce too large to reasonably fit into one's mouth, poor construction that left all the smaller ingredients to fall to the bottom where a soggy puddle had formed from the shredded chicken and dressing, and a lack of flavor. That being said, overall it wasn't a bad experience, just not great. The prices are reasonable and the horchata was refreshing on a 99 degree day, but overall I was left expecting better.

MBFWDisneyWorld

I have eaten here a few times and it has always been good, but today it was excellent. The staff is so friendly too. Everything tastes so fresh —they make tortillas before your eyes— and bonus points for the cute little salsa bar and authentic Mexican Horchata & limeade! I had a beef enchilada and carnita enchilada. Recommend!

Monica Marks

This Cafe Rio doesn’t warm/crisp their tortillas with cheese on the flat top for their salads. I thought it was a one-time thing, but it’s happened to me three times. I go out of my way to go to the one in American Fork instead. BTW, generally speaking, I love Cafe Rios. Was really happy when I moved back east and found out they had them in NOVA too.

CrunchyActor!

It was pretty good! The only thing I didn't really like but the food is really tasty

Zandra Jones

Such delicious food for a good price. The kitchen staff creates a welcomjng environment as they sing and show they enjoy making your food! Great place for larger get togethers, as well.

Shawn Prichard

In my opinion better than chipotle as far as price and flavor. What tops it off is unlimited drinks including horchata.

Cuyler Wainwright

Tacos were top notch. Recommend.

Kyle Bringhurst

Good place. Great food.

Kesha Francois

Friendly staff, clean atmosphere and delicious flavorful food.

Noah Hopkins

It's not really Mexican food, but it isn't bad in any way. Basically it's a ton of rice and beans for $10 and you wait in a line to look at the rice and beans before you eat them. Personally, I think this Rock Springs location does a better job than others I've visited. They make sure things taste great and don't just throw it together. Share the big plates with a friend. It's a ton of food.

Yvette McDonald

Fast service good food

Gary Ochs

Consistently good food at reasonable prices keeps me coming back.

R Gilmore

Well, I can honestly say that I have not been to this restaurant yet but I can tell you now that I do not plan on visiting. The reviews on here regarding the service tells me they have a serious problems internally and I don’t wish to jeopardize my dining experience on that. Running out of food, rude employees, oblivious employees, and nonchalant supervisor, all reasons to avoid this place. Sad because I was looking forward to a new dining place in downtown Eagle Idaho.

Mark Henry

Good fresh food. Plan ahead for a wait at lunch

Damon Thomas

It was freezing in the Restaurant, not clean, and they gave my burrito to the guy in front of me.

Alejandra Salomon

Any time I order from this store, they get my order wrong. I ordered two chicken salads and came home to two pork salads. This isn’t the first time either.

Francisco Alvarez

Good Mexican food, a little too pricey but good food. The desserts are also good and love the mint lemonade.

Carter Evans

Great food, awesome employees, nice atmosphere. $2 student tacos are a great deal!

Ovvie Bray

Best Cafe Rio I have visited by far! Fantastic food and service beats Twin Falls location 10x over! I'm sold!

Michelle Frederickson Jensen

Organized clean and on time with your online orders. Oh yes and they got everything right! I live closer to the AF one but gave up on them getting things right etc. I would rather drive father for good service any day!! Thank you!

Craig Millward

Always worth the visit. We have never been unhappy with quality of food or service. Highly recommend this place!

Bryson Mumford

The tamale deal on Thursdays is such a great deal and everything on the menu is amazing so so so delicous. Prices are eh, but worth it.

Kristen and Melissa

For the love of god please take the fire grilled chicken off your menu!!! Literally every single time we come here you are out of it. If you can’t provide what is on the menu take it off! The restaurant is disgusting, food and trash on the floor and the tables are sticky and hardly ever wiped off. Also when I find a pubic hair in my water cup it just makes the entire experience disgusting. Absolutely 100% will never be back to this location EVER.

Miguel Cruz

Good food but they need to come up with new items.

Dominik Lippolis

Excellent food and customer service! The prices are a little high but they have deals for every weekday. If you go on Tuesday you can get a taco for less than $2! Definitely worth the buy. They have my future business and I would recommend giving them a try if you are looking for a quick bite to eat and quality food.

Augie Villanueva

Had a Great meal. The people working sang and smiled! Been awhile since ive been here but still as good as before!

Andrea Ballard

Normally this is our favorite restaurant! Unfortunately, the Fort Collins, CO location has repeatedly let us down. Their food is just not great. Last week when we went, our rice was so old/dry that it crunched when we ate it. We won't return to that location again.

Ethan Burch

I love Cafe Rio! The portions are pretty big and the food is good quality. Add in some tasty drink options and you have a great combination for eating out. Just be prepared to go with an empty stomach because they like to pile on the extras on the food. Only warning is about the horchata, I personally don't drink it here.

Jillian Clinger

I love the tomatillo enchilada sauce.

Russell Dunlap

Always a good option. Never had a poor experience here, but I do always order the exact same thing

Moranne Webb

Life as a student is rough. Late nights studying, DTR’s, not to mention Byui is located on the planet Hoth. But the one shining star that can brighten any situation has been taco Tuesday at cafe rio

Kelsey Reese

Delicious and fresh. Staff were very nice. Clean.

Aki Malaeulu

Great location! The line moves pretty fast & using the app is great to save & earn money towards more visits!

Carolyn Greene

Like a chipotle but better

Holly Empey

While the food is really great, boy was it crowded, and the place showed it. Having worked at a competing chain restaurant, I know that keeping up the cleanliness is tough, but seeing crusted food on the serving line, food spilling from one container into another of different food... it's kinda a turn off. But man, do they have a lot of fancy drink options! And you can't beat handmade tortillas.

Blanca

The food is good here. I wish the staff was a little more friendly... I feel like I’m rushed to place my order in, from the second I walk in those doors. The seating area is clean, the bathrooms can be better.

Kyle Johnson

Good food, fast service

Burgandy Birchell

They were a bit slow last time I visited but are usually great

Jboogywitdahoodie

It was okay. Nothing special they have some inmature employees that argue why your getting food that makes its like a live reality TV show

John Neuman

Only have gone for Taco Tuesday and it's delish! Love the homemade tortillas and all the fresh ingredients.

Bruno Valente

Delicious food!

Kenzia P. Lee

This place was a great place to make a fast stop at for food not bad

Ted McMichael

Generally the food here is very good. Sometimes you need to encourage them to give you a little more, as each serving is individually prepared according to your requests. This particular Cafe Rio needs to fix its roof, which leaks significantly when it rains.

Cami Coll

Great food. Free nino quesadilla for kids under 6. Always look forward to going here when visiting from out of state.

Spencer Gunn

Picked up an online order and when I got home I found that they had only put one of three salad dressings that I had ordered. The food was good but I’m definitely not happy about it. Shoulda checked it, but the peeps shoulda done their job.

Richard Eich

Enjoyed some great food here tonight! The steak smothered burrito was fantastic and my wife really loved her sweet pork salad. This place was nearly empty on a Monday night!

Jin Hill

This is my favourite place to get a chicken taco salad. Take my word for it and add your proteins and green but don't forget the guac ranch dressing. Best Ever!

Yuva Natya

Everything in the menu is amazing! Enchiladas, Burritos, Tostada..! Try them all !

AMP DENVER

My favorite place ever! I eat Their often, and love the service, food and staff!

Kandiss Sanchez

Love their tortillas!

Jeni Ortgies

Really fresh tasting food. Great vegetarian options too.

Carol Ann Noland

Fresh food, great service

Jordan Kelly

People are nice, I work in the little strip complex close so we all stop there often. The 2 times this week I’ve stopped for lunch there’s been issues with my order. The first one, I was given a completely wrong order. Which wouldn’t be a big deal if the order I had been given hadn’t been sitting there for 3 and a half hours. I took a bite and realized how cold it was so I looked and it was an order no one ever came and picked up... the second problem was the beef in one of my tacos was a complete fat chunk. Like the middle of the beef fatty gross part that you can’t even eat.. so that whole taco went in the trash. Really disappointing for the price of what you pay.

Linzi Barton

One of my favorite Mexican fast food joints. Their medium salsa is to die for! Generous portion sizes, delicious food and original soft drinks make this restaurant a great value!

Kyle Stailey

Supremely disappointed to find out that they discontinued the Spicy Green Chile Pork. The fajitas that replaced them aren't that great. I hate it when companies mess with a good thing.

Jason Reed

Great food!

tresa daniels

Tried to order salads over the phone today. My daughter does not like guacamole, so I asked the girl to put my daughters guacamole on mine..... and she told me they would charge me extra for it. How is that extra? This has never been an issue in the past. Not impressed. Told her to cancel my order and id go to their competition.

Janice Hinze

Very good, fresh ingredients. I wish my barito was just a little warmer. Had the plain iced tea which was also very good.

Jeremiah Jensen

Great food, good service. Just try to avoid the rush times. It makes it a bit difficult to order.

Cary Smith

Absolutely delicious. My coworkers and I went there for our weekly Friday lunch because one of the got a coupon. We were not disappointed. All the dishes were fresh and delicious. I had the salmon tacos with Mexican rice and black beans with their mint lemonade.

Stephanie Martinez

Best food i have tried love the chicken quesadillas. if you add fajitas to it you will fall in love

Teresa Wilson

We so good. We ate way to much. Very good prices also

Shirlee McDaniels

Very good but a little slow

Lww Whitney

Really good

Keffrey Stellway

It just looks and feels like a slightly worse version of Costa Vita. I ordered a sweet pork burrito which was really good. I've been told that if you want the best bang for your buck the burrito is the way to go, and from what I saw I'd say that's true. It tasted pretty good which is always what you hope for. I went a little after nine on a Friday night and it looked like I just beat the rush because there were about 20 people who were eating. The staff was fairly friendly but they definitely seemed like they were rushing us through the line even though there wasn't anyone behind us. All in all, it's a good place to eat and is nearly identical to Costa Vita except the restaurant itself is not as nice in appearance and the menu there has a few less choices to pick from.

Always delicious, great deals on Tuesdays, and the staff is very friendly.

Vicki DeVore

Pretty good food here. Expect a little bit of a wait though....it is always busy. The food can be pricey, so go for their specials or show up on Taco Tuesday.

I absolutely LOVE this place! Everyone is so freaking nice and always find a way to make you smile. The food is so good my co workers and I often come 2-3 times a week. (Trust me its that good). FYI They have an awesome rewards app and you constantly get coupons on. ;-)

James Moore

Their food is good. Not great, but a good solid good. The thing that kills me every time is the price. If I'm paying $10 for a burrito, it had better be awesome. They aren't, which is why I don't go more. My wife makes a better burrito. Why should I go here? I love going there when they have deals though.

Sam I

Staff changes, but always great

Ashton Olson

They helped me out so much and I thought I could get a tres leches for doing the survey (because my home town tooele does) but no other grills do but these guys went up and beyond to help me out and said “weellll were not suppose to but since you took the time to do the survey we’ll do it this once” thanks again guys

Abby

It's a great place to go. The food is great and and service is wonderful. Definitely the place to go!

Ashley McGee

This is my favorite place to go if I want a burrito. They have amazing salads as well. You get plenty of food for your money and the food is excellent. I would recommend Cafe Rio to everyone.

tyler smith

jimtimony frim

It was great as far as I could tell.. There where a few things that were off, but I didn't mind

Sam Fernandez

Sweet pork tacos on Tuesday totally rocks

Frosty Life

I love this place and I always eat here when I am in town. They have very fresh food and friendly staff.

Shane Seagle

Only downside is that it is constantly busy. Best option is to get food to go by ordering ahead of time

Megan Wirth

So good!

Taylor Reese

The default on where to go when no one can decide since it's the only thing that can be agreed upon.

brittani ewing

Really good!better then alot of other similar restaurants

MrBjd43

Food is good and what you expect but just DON'T EVER ORDER CARRYOUT. Ive always waited more in the store when I arrive than if I would have just waited in line to start. Called 20 minutes ahead then waited for 20 when I got to the store. This has happened many times. Just come wait in line. Im actually waiting for food right now after calling 30 min ago. 30 others have passed through the line as I wait.

Ren Husfloen

Always a good place for that Taco craving...quality ingredients, friendly hard workers and good customer service make this place a go-to lunch spot for my wife and I if you haven't tried their food I strongly encourage that you do so soon!

Shannon Rasmussen

Overpriced, always out of steak, getting slower. Service is hit and miss.

Julieanna D

Good vegan options, friendly employees. Love the decor in here

Aubrey Wood

I love this place by far the best Cafe Rio they actually look like they are having a fun time working and the quality of care in my opinion is awesome worth the line if you ask me :) also they have drive through so like what more could you want.

Mallory Leisy

Maybe hire more people?? Especially on a Friday night. Waited in line 20+ minutes. Out of grilled chicken, queso had a 20 minute wait. Restaurant was dirty. Won't go there again.

Zach Newman

Location was clean and food came as expected. Staff was warm and friendly.

Macady Bundy

Those tamales

GC

Fancier Chipotle with horchata. Such a win.

Brandon Langford

Great fresh Mexican, large portions, good value for your hard earned money. My favorite is the sweet pork salad with tomatillo house dressing. And they make an awesome key lime pie, as an occasional treat.

Robert Barnett

Great if you order in person, but I've had four separate bad experiences with online ordering. Do not order online. The worst experience: I placed an online order for pickup in an hour. I showed up 10 minutes after the pickup time but they hadn't started it, then they told me I'd have to wait until they helped the 5 people in line before they would begin fulfilling my order. They helped those 5 plus the next 2 that came in later. I waited 30 extra minutes.

Brandon Bennett

Produce quality is in as Good here as some of the other locations down south but I still love Cafe Rio

Josh Sperle

Love the fresh tortillas

Rebecca Starr

The pork tacos are so good! I couldn't believe how delicious they were. Soooo good!

Cherise Elliott

Fresh food. Ask for extra meat and they really pile it on. Nutritional info is available for every ingredient. And, they have Diet Dr. Pepper!

Wyatt Edgerton

Good food but ALWAYS PACKED. Everytime ive gone in (at different times) there has always been a line almost out the door. Have attempted to eat here multiple times but because its so packed have had to leave and resort to somewhere else

Kristen Pleitez

They made my order wrong and the person I spoke with about replacing it was very rude. When I came in to have my remake she barely gave me a chance to ask for all the toppings and so i didn't even get my order remade correctly. No response from corporate. Not good customer service so I won't be likely to return.

Balbuena Family

One restroom for a big restaurant. Ridiculous

Dustin Allen

I frequent Cafe Rio. Always good food. The salad with spicy pork is my usual to share with my wife. Good stuff. Most plates are more than I can have for a single meal.

EJ RaZa

Super friendly & great food ...if it was closer to me id be a frequent customer

Catherine Rabah

Fresh ingredients, customizable, friendly and helpful staff. Free quesadilla and orange slice for kids 6 and under!

Kendra Barrett

The worst experience We've ever had at Cafe Rio! My husband and I were rushed while trying to order for ourselves and two kids. The ladies behind the counter were very impatient and we felt like they were just trying to push us out the door. We ordered a large guacamole and chips and were given 2.5 scoops of guacamole which wasn't enough to feed a family of four. Very disappointed as Cafe Rio is a treat for our family since the nearest one is a hour away.

Steve Giralt

I love taking my family here. The food is always very good. I always get my order super quick despite what some of the reviews state. Kids get free quesadillas, which is a nice touch. The drink station has some great choices, and even flavored syrups to liven things up. The prices are pretty reasonable, and I really like their salads. You can't go wrong eating here. They have a nice staff, and the restrooms are clean.

Eric Eschief

This place is delicious

James Kruczek

The staff there is the best. I can't believe they can serve so many people on Tuesdays.

Cheryl Miller

Its tasty and fast.

Eowyn Gibson

LAST two times I went on a sunday and waited for over 25 minutes. What I figure is the issue is they were doing to go orders in between regular orders. It was a solid 5 minutes of them doing to go orders and not addressing anyone in front of them. Normal days they are much quicker but it seems Sunday's stay away!!!! Great location, everyone is so nice!!

Keith Hoggard

Great food. Great service. Consistently making me a great burrito! I love it.

Raymond Carothers

Good but cost to much

Chriselda Garcia

Café Río staff are so disconnected with their customers. They don’t listen to what customers are saying. They overcharge for extras like making your burrito enchilada style. I have had better food for better price at QDoba. Cafe Rio just lost 6 customers today.

Dwayne Negron

Great flavors with a unique twist on them much different than your traditional Mexican food. Tuesday is the day to go for a first time because they do $2 tacos which are great. Good place for a quick date!

sabrina bayha

This place gets my extra star for price point, quickness + the taste is good. However when they're busy be prepared for them to run out of roasted chicken and their ice and homemade drinks. It has happened to me a lot. They have a good rewards program though and I get free food and discounts a lot.

Hillary Hodges

Great food and friendly service.

Mark Toone

Great food and fun atmosphere in the restaurant. A little pricy but a fun treat now and then. A lot of food for the money. Was very nice to have a free kids quesadilla.

Crystal Rabbit

We like the food. Unfortunately the workers today were quite rude to anyone who was not Hispanic. If we see it again, we probably won’t go back to this location.

Jared Ullrich

I love this place!

Paul Birch

Every Friday night. Without fail. Great food. Great service. Low price. Need I say more?

Brent Sampson

Very delicious food but pricey.

Josh Groen

Their pulled pork is amazing! My only complaint is that Cafe Rio isn't in more places.

Alex Lystrup

I don't go to Cafe Rio often, but the food is pretty good for the price. On my most recent visit the rice was substantially under-cooked which resulted in a little more crunch to my burrito than I would have liked. My favorite thing about Cafe Rio is the drinks. The horchatta is as good as any restaurant's but the limeade is delicious.

Tayla Wadsworth

The woman helping was sort of hard to understand. T^T

Don Harris

Good food reasonably priced

Murray Rodriguez

I've had some really good Mexican food and this wasn't it. I recommend the tacos.

David Dubois

Great service and amazing food!!

j w

Pork barbacoa is awsome!

Tim Tedder LMHC

We would readily eat here more often if the food wasn't so overly salted.

Sam Durnavich

Awesome, quick food, kids eat free and the chicken salad is a ton of food and super delicious. Oh and homemade tortillas, yummy! Some of the meats are really sweet though, you can try samples before deciding.

Michelle

Delicious, just go on taco Tuesday and get one pork and one chicken taco with the mint lime drink, and you're in heaven. Free kids quesadilla!

Cheryl Garn

So good and filling. I love the sweet pork salad. And I love that they have a small cheese quesadilla free for kids 6 and under.

Joyce kellogg

Really good, fresh food. Terrible customer service.

KAtelynn HAnson

VERY clean and EXTERMLY fresh food cooked right in front of you 10percent would recommend

Gary Lee Gammenthaler

Authentic but different Mexican food. Good portions and very tasty. 4 Stars **** Garyleescritiques

Ashley Little

Every time my husband is in town, he has to visit this spot!! We both love it; all the ingredients are fresh and the tortillas are made from scratch!! Every time we go, I always take extra tortillas to go because they are that tasty.

Tya Wild

I usually love this location but they were crazy slow last time I went.

Travis Hansbarger

I love everything on the menu. The sauces are great the sweet pork is from heaven. Did I mention they have cold beer. This is just one of the MANY reasons AMERICA is SO GREAT!

Kim Guymon

The food at this Cafe is always hot and delicious. I bought two gift cards for 15 year old twin boys. It's the perfect gift for that age!
