Cafe Rio Fresh Modern Mexican

Awesome portion sizes. Sweet barbacoa was exceptionally sweet, not for me but maybe for you. Tacos are huge but with all the meat and veggies, it ended up being quite soggy and difficult. I needed several napkins.This restaurant occupies the subliminal space between a Del Taco and a Chipotle. Spacious for a fast food restaurant and an odd spattering of outdoor seating. The music was loud and unpleasant. The employees seemed to get along as friends. I appreciated that.Lastly, the receipt caught me off-guard. I didn't expect it to add up the way it did, but it wasn't as good of a deal as I was told by peers.

Just stupidly spent $60 on a salad, two enchiladas, and chips & queso. Insane prices! this is a $20-30 meal at most.Salad was 12 dollars not long ago but now everything is $18.. Plus they add an additional 20% to price of items if you choose delivery. I thought that was part of junk fees we voted out. This does not include the actual delivery fees at the end which was $15 total incl tip/fees, etc.queso was 6.99, now 8.60salad was 14, now 17.19... this was less than 3 months ago. salad was $8 freakin dollars last year. gtfoh!now that we got the insane price gouging for mediocre food out of the way.... this location is terrible for accuracy.we only ever do take out so we can verify everything is there. it NEVER is. missing items is the norm, not the exception. see my prev review. nothing has changed.Didn't receive queso or salsa, and the whole bag of chips were beyond burnt (i just grabbed a couple chips for the pic but whole bag looked like this or worse). I can't believe this was served to humans. you messed up the chips, toss em. this is a mgmt issue and whoever decided this was acceptable, should be gone. Can't believe this location is still open and they haven't resolved these "who puts it in the bag" issues.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME, GO TO CHIPOTLE DOWN THE STREET!!!!Everytime I come here no matter what time of day, it looks as if the scraps of every item is the only thing available. They nickel and dimeYou over every thing and then forget to even put the extra sides in the bag but they forsure make a scene to make sure the cashier charges you. It's honestly sad that a chain like this is terribly managed.

Im not the type of person to ever waste my time writing a review but honestly what my friend and I experienced at this location today was disrespectful. We ordered two chicken quesadillas and I asked the man making the food which chicken was better and he said " the grilled is more expensive" and maybe he thought my response was rude but I said " I didn't ask which one is more, I asked which one is better" and after that the service went downhill. The total was $34 and I give the the short guy with messy hair and glasses at the register $25 cash and the rest card and he says " you can't even afford it" and I looked at him like okay buddy now we need to look a certain way to buy two chicken quesadillas? We obviously question his comment like is it our appearance or what do you mean, because who says that. He continues to make comments like " you guys don't look like you can afford it" and " your card is going to decline", like okay? We could've been rude back but honestly we don't have time to argue with some guy that is around our age. He continues to mock and say we look like we can't afford anything, yet he's a brown person too and couldn't look any better than us. He continues to babble saying we look like we don't work. I just found this interaction and service very disrespectful, not even me who is usually not the best in customer service would say that to any person/ customer. If this is the type of service they are providing here Goodluck to this business. If you guys look like you cant afford some quesadillas don't go there because the short register king will let you know.

Wow. I am disappointed to have to leave a 1 star review. I don't like being critical but I was really looking forward to a decent meal. My boyfriend took me here because he had great memories eating here with his dad. To elaborate, the service is terrible. It's laughable because I witnessed one of the staff treat everyone else with actual good service while they rushed/skipped over my order. While working on the toppings the staff asked if that was all, which I assumed he meant for the toppings only and he completely just packed up my stuff to send straight to the register without giving me the chance to even order a side option. They don't really honor their weekday promotions. I asked the first guy if I could do their Tuesday weekday order that comes with beans and rice, and as my food went down the line everyone else dismissed it and ignored it. Sadly, the food wasn't even that great. Go to Chipotle instead.

I can't live without the tomatillo ranch dressing! It's so so so yummy. I always order take out here of salads, and love the chicken salad and I customize it with no rice. The app is so easy to order and pickup and the staff are awesome. My order is always right and on time and it's clean inside. If you like fresh and fast check it out.

Was in the area midweek and thought I'd give Cafe Rio another chance. My first thought was that it was a bit untidy inside.As usual the service was just so so but at least the pricing is reasonable.My biggest complaint however was the smell. When I went to get my beverage, there was this sort of musty, dirty smell around the soda machines. The only way i could describe it is that it smelled like a pre school; Not necessarily like poop smell more but of a "Toddlers played here" kind of smell. My first suspicion is that the area was wiped down with dirty rags. The soda machines are not far from the restrooms so the smell could have come from there. Anyway, I sat down and the smell was quite strong, I then moved closer to the kitchen and that helped..Anyway, decent food, ok pricing.. The place needs a pressure washing!

I've always like cafe rio. My main issue is I ordered online, I show up 10 mins after its supposed to be ready and they haven't even started it. I think they need to work on their online order system. I do love their taco tuesday deal and the tacos are great. They gave me a free drink which was nice at least. Parking is easy, I'll still come back if that's the only issue. I don't like dine in as it is a weird crowd inside at times lol.

Umm, where's the rice, beans, enchilada sauce... delicious but they need reading glasses and I need to check b4 I leave...

Love the points! Great day of the week specials! Definitely had an increase in portion sizing! I promote this place to anyone when the opportunity presents itself. Way to hear customer complaints and step it up!Wonderful recovery!
