Gilbert is the definition of excellent service! He always greets customers with a big smile and such a positive attitude. He is friendly, patient, and truly makes every visit enjoyable. We always look for him when we go to Café Rio because his kindness and professionalism make the experience even better.

Also, the food is amazing, it’s the place that tastes the most like real Mexican home cooking. Tiene sabor de hogar.

We were the only ones in there for lunch. We grabbed two kids meals for my boys. The staff was super friendly. When we got back to our table, I realized we had skipped the lettuce and salsa part of the prep so I ran back up and they had no problem, tossing some in a little tin for me to put in their tacos. The boys had drinks and we noticed the Horchata was empty and they refilled it right away. It was clean. It was empty. There was no line. We didn’t have to wait. It tasted good. That’s good enough for me.

Great food: fresh and yammy.

I’ve ordered from this location a few times. They consistently get my order correct and the preparation is quick. All the employees are very friendly and happy to give you extra cilantro or free toppings for your take out order that you can’t select in the app. They acknowledge you when you enter and don’t leave you waiting for a long time before asking what your name is for to-go orders if it’s not already on the shelf. Will continue to frequent this location!

I come to my local Cafe Rio at least 2xs a month. The new Blueberry limeade is great! Please make it a permanent part of the menu!

Sean Cook

I found it. I love this place!

Love Cafe Rio dining in but when ordering from Uber eats they seem to have a policy of shorting or completely leaving off the meat. Have had 5 separate orders from Cafe Rio with very little or absolutely no meat when ordering for delivery.

Cafe Rio is what happens when you take your dad to Chipotle for the first time and he says he can make a better restaurant, before making a worse restaurant.

The food is okay. Portions are alright. Price is decent.

Great, cheap food. Got order wrong in the past, but always willing to make a new meal. Something must have changed recently - new employee or policy or something - because order hasn’t been wrong in a while and now enough of the same side on different meals will make a new container for it.
