Both my friend and I were rushed while ordering and did not get what we wanted, the bill ended up being twice what I had tried to order. If the staff had taken one more moment to let me ask questions this would have been a 5 star review!
Great quality, fast, clean, and consistently tasty! The staff here is WONDERFUL and always takes care of the customer.
Expensive buy very good. Good food and good ice
Nice sized portions.
Just wonderful
Cafeteria style Mexican where you build your own dish from the available ingredients. The Thursday special, coconut shrimp tacos, was very good. The coconut flavor isn't strong but was definitely there. Next time, I would choose not to have lettuce though. The pieces were too big and there nee de ed to be less of it. The black beans were good.
Service was fast and friendly. The space was casual and comfortable with a lot of seating.
There were several open parking spaces even though it was busy.
The worst of the Cafe Rio restaurants I have seen. They are always out of something at each visit. E very time we get fire grilled chicken, they are virtually out, but serve chicken scraps, scraping the container. I rather they just say they are out. We like Cafe Rio, but the quality here lacks. Maybe that is why the staff looks so gloomy and disinterested.
Update. After a break, we tried again. Both our salads were completely wrong. Staff was a bit clueless because staff had to redo many orders that were wrong. Line out the door due to staff making food a second time.

I grew up eating cafe rio so when I saw this place I had to have some again. I ordered online and asked for no cheese, because I can’t consume cheese and unfortunately it came with a tiny layer of cheese on the inside… also I asked for jalapenos on it and there was like 10 all at the end of the burrito. They also only gave me about 6 little strips of lettuce. Worst cafe rio experience I’ve ever had.
I love their food but this store needs better management, the staff is slow and rude and the food counter always looks like a bomb went off regardless of how busy the store is. My online order was 20 minutes late.The cashier guy told me they have to take care of the walk up line before preparing the online orders. Isn’t this the reason why people order online, to avoid the line?

Value of food is just not there. I’d rather eat chipotle for $12 than Cafe Rio for $20. :/

Chipotle and Qdoba are dead to me. The portions may be a bit smaller but the quality of protein is so worth it.

It has good food, and the atmosphere is not bad at all. But when you are ordering your food definitely watch the people and tell them exactly what you want or they will skimp out a lot on items they do not charge you for.
