✨ Café Rio: The Mom’s-Day-Out Fuel I Didn’t Know I Needed ✨
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Okay, listen. I went to Café Rio with some fellow moms while picking up my daughter from a church camp, and I don’t know if it was the lack of sleep, the emotional mom high from watching her grow up too fast, or the fact that I hadn't eaten a real meal in 48 hours—but this food slapped. Like, full-on soul-hug, crying-in-the-parking-lot, “maybe I am doing okay” level delicious.

I ordered the Sweet Pork Salad because I’m a creature of habit and heard whispers of its legendary status. Y’all. The rumors are TRUE. That pork was so tender it practically apologized for every tantrum my kids have ever thrown. The rice and beans were seasoned to perfection, and don’t even get me started on the tomatillo ranch—I would drink it out of a Hydro Flask if society wouldn’t judge me.

And yes, I got queso. Because I’m a grown woman and I deserve joy.

The line was long but moved fast, like a well-oiled burrito assembly line. The staff didn’t judge me for being that person holding up the line asking for “extra extra dressing.” Bless them.

The vibes? Loud, slightly chaotic, and full of teens, toddlers, and tired parents—aka: my natural habitat.
The aftermath? I was full, happy, and dramatically texting my husband:
“WHY HAVE WE NOT BEEN EATING HERE EVERY WEEK?!”

🍼Pro Tip: If you’re a mom on a road trip, emotionally depleted from a week of solo parenting or camp pickup chaos—Café Rio is the serotonin booster you didn’t know you needed. Also, get a second dressing. Always.

Would eat again. Would cry over sweet pork again. Would 100% recommend to other exhausted, fabulous moms living off caffeine and prayer.

Best Cafe Rio I have ever been too! I spent so many college nights eating here and they never disappointed! The food was always so good and they truly don’t skimp on the portion sizes (which my big back appreciates). The employees are very efficient and friendly! 1000/10 recommend this location!

Excellent food and friendly staff!

I love the food there and the service is excellent. I appreciate how clean they keep the bathroom

A great option for fresh burritos! I prefer this assembly line over the other two ;) Great bang for your buck and they have all the fixings! Usually very fast service, and chill enough to sit and stay for your meal. Clean behind the counter and food has been fresh every time I’ve been.

Just way wayyyyy over priced for the size and quality. I walked out spending 23$, 10% tip - for one steak burrito… one scoop of quac and a queso. Holy the fffuuuuccckkk. Is that 21$. Sorry but I’ll never go back. Criminal prices.

Great food at a reasonable price. We eat here regularly as a family and have had only good experiences.

Paid over two times the regular price to get this food delivered, and shows up without the dressing. This is not the first time either. 😔

One star because they require you to give them your CC information over the phone!! Are you serious?! There is so much theft surrounding unprotected payment methods, even protected payment methods are easily hacked these days. The owners are careless to require that…. I won’t ever come back just for that reason alone.

Don't appreciate waiting forever just because I placed a to go order. I get helping other customer first, but 20 mins over the expected wait time is ridiculous

Horchata slaps hard tho

Very rude customer service. Forget asking a question because they will
take your head off. Hard to even get help. Have to stand forever before someone will even acknowledge you.

The people are so nice and kind you could even smell the food out side the food was so good 👍👍 10/10 100/100
