Cafe Rio Mexican Grill offers large portions of fast casual Mexican food, with huge salads and delicious tortillas with cheese. The restaurant provides good quality meals, although the service can be hit or miss. Customers have experienced missing items in their dinner orders, especially during dinner time. Despite some issues with online orders not being ready on time, the Taco Tuesday deal is popular and the tacos are great. The restaurant also offers easy parking, although some customers find the dine-in crowd to be a bit odd.
Customers praise the flavors, helpful service, and reasonable prices at Cafe Rio. The quesadillas, burritos, and wet burritos are particularly well-liked. The mild tomatillo salsa with a side of sour cream is a customer favorite. While some customers have noted a lack of greeting or acknowledgement upon arrival, one customer highlighted the excellent service provided by an employee named Blanca, who was described as warm, friendly, and smiling throughout the interaction.
