Cafe Rio Fresh Modern Mexican offers a delightful dining experience with its fresh and delicious food. The San Dimas location remains a favorite, but customers are advised to avoid peak hours like 1 pm to 3 pm, as the short-staffed kitchen may lead to longer wait times. The Taco Tuesday Meal is a great deal, and the online ordering system allows for plenty of customization.
The restaurant's vegetarian options, including pinto beans, guacamole, and a variety of flavorful salsas, are well-received. Customers appreciate the freshly made tortillas and the ability to customize their orders. While the vegetarian rice option is considered too oily and cilantro-heavy, the addition of vegan protein options like chorizo or tofu could enhance the vegetarian experience.
Cafe Rio is praised for its great portions, flavors, and exceptional staff, who are consistently kind and friendly. One customer highlighted the amazing service from the night manager, noting her attentiveness and efficiency. The restaurant is also recognized for its cleanliness, making each visit memorable. Customers are eager to return to this popular Mexican eatery, with some even visiting multiple times a week.
