“ We had a blast for our lunch together today. There were about 25 of us and the food and service were great! I got the special shrimp tacos and they were very good. I also got a burrito with the sweet pork! OMG ”
“ I just noticed that I have never left a review on Google for this restaurant. Over the past few years, I order here around once a month. I usually order through the App, sometimes in person. The location is well maintained. The kitchen and dining areas are kept clean. Occasionally, the associates are so busy keeping up with orders that they forget to restock the self serve area, especially allowing napkins to run out. I am glad to see hot sauce bottles are available again, would just like to see the variety return. I definitely miss the free cinnamon mints. To the food. Overall, everything is fresh looking and tasting. I always enjoy my entrees here. I have pretty much ordered everything they offer over the years, from this location. Occasionally my online order is slightly off. Sometimes an extra free ingredient is missing. Recently, my online order was not processed. After waiting 15 minutes, and being offered two different peoples online orders, the cashier looked my order up. She then personally made sure my order was made. I love their loyalty program. ”

“ I love Cafe Rio. The food is fresh, and the people at this location are so friendly and helpful. I love Taco Tuesday. You can get a 2 taco dinner with a drink for less than 10 Make sure you tip because they work really hard making your food the way you like it. Before covid, they used to put limes and produce on display above the kitchen. I loved how bright and appetizing it looked. They have never brought that back, so the atmosphere isn't as nice as it once was. I miss that. ”
