Tortilla less shredded chicken taco. A hefty portion of meat weighing in at 1.7 oz. . No bueno!

I like cafe Rio but not everything is equal in flavor. I got 2 tacos one of them Barbacoa pork which I absolutely love. Also got a chicken taco both were very good. U love how they make tacos. Tip ask for cheese because they melt it w the tortilla on the grill. Perfect. Highly recommend. Very generous serving worth the price. My husband got 2 chicken enchiladas and he wasn't impressed. The flavor just wasn't there and he thought they were smaller in portion Can't comment on other items except a few year back I got a pork bowl and really enjoyed it Tips! get the pork! Get the tacos!

I am leaving because I never heard back from customer relations or the Business Manager. I haven't been back since to this location nor the Lake Forest location. It's sad but transparent that whenever I leave 5 star reviews that someone replies, but since I left a bad one no one reached out.I also left a review on the website to be contacted. All this as been well over 3 weeks.

Clean and modern eatery with comfortable chairs and table . Calm atmosphere . Good customer service and workers are patient. fresh food! The fruit drinks and horchata are available and is for self serve. Today I ordered a bowl came with rice pork and beef , rice, lettuce beans , cheese, etc .. it was really fresh and good flavor . The price is so good. I paid $13+ including bowl and horchata drink . I will return again

Staff: Helped by Ameal think was his name. Very friendly, inviting, and shared details about the rears program. Quality/Quantity:The food at this restaurant has always been very tasty. This was my first time at this location. Ordered the special which was very affordable and got 3 tacos, rice, beans, and a drink for about $11. Value: See above.Overall: Great ambiance, plenty of seating inside or outside, good food (tortillas the best), and friendly service. I'd return for sure. I was so excited to eat I forgot to take pictures of the food. Sorry!

This used to be a go to place for me. Super bummed out after today's visit and won't be going there anymore. I ordered a shredded chicken taco w the tortilla on the side. I felt the protein the lady behind the station put was less than normal and asked for a a little more. She coldly added a teaspoon worth, and the manager said I could buy extra protein for an additional charge. It weighed less than 2 oz . I didn't feel like I was asking for much, just something reasonable.

If I could leave negative stars I would. Very poor service and overpriced food. I asked if they would fix my burrito because it was falling apart but they said you need a fork and knife to eat it so it's supposed to fall apart and be a mess I guess.

I rarely post on Yelp usually I do Google Reviews, but I thought I would double down on cafe rio as a rare exception. My order has been late the past two times I ordered and this time they forgot all the salsas with my queso (not the first time that has happened). On top of that the food was cold and the presentation was awful. Also black cilantro. Adding another pic for lack of chopping skills... literally kept the root of a scallion in the pico. They were also out of black iced tea as icing on the cake. Food quality is terrible, quality control is non existent, service is bad, and I emailed their customer care and received a generic response. Just avoid this place hopefully it closes soon.
