“Don't go because you think you're getting authentic Mexican tacos, go because they're damn good! It's like they took just all the best flavor combinations they could think of and slapped them into tortillas, and they work. Also their chips are clearly house made and so crispy good. If you want really good, really different approach to tacos you won't be disappointed. Also the dining room and bar area is nice, but we choose to eat outside. We'll definitely be back.“

“Update again:
It was poorly rolled, to bad... a day later ain't as good.

TBF, ive never seen someone put a pickup in their trunk (doubt guarded, didn't seem so) while driving a 4 door sedan.... I think Audi.

Update (lowered a star):
Disappointed this time. Didn't select light rice and I think they found a way to put even more in there on regular. Basically, seems like I've been eating a glorified rice and bean burrito. Also, they seemed to have gone lighter on the steak although seems like more guacamole.

Prior:
Very friendly preparer and loved the energy. She paid attention to the order whereas I would've been standing there like umm, how about that.

First time I've ordered online (or been to this location). Place was closer than I thought to my place so I was actually there to watch it get prepared, which I would prefer anyway.

Everything was good, rice wasn't dried out, steak was juicy and flavorful without having to spit out any fat.

My order:
NEW Habanero Lime Steak - tossed in spicy habanero sauce, lime juice and cilantro, No Additional Protein, Warm Flour Tortilla, Cilantro Lime Rice(Regular), Black Beans(Regular), Hand-Crafted Guacamole(Regular), New warm Mexican Street Corn with creamy elote sauce(Regular), Pickled Red Onions(Regular), Shredded Cheese(Regular), Sour Cream(Regular), Cotija (Crumbled White Cheese)(Extra), Freshly Made Pico de Gallo (Mild)(Regular), Citrus Lime Vinaigrette (Mild)(Regular), Picante Ranch Dressing (Medium)(Light)

Only thing different I may do is light rice as it was little to much for me even though it was good rice.“

“If I could give this place a score of 20, I would do it!! It wasn't busy and there were only 3 people running the restaurant that evening, because of people not showing up for work or cashing in, but it was awesome. The person that sat us down is the same person that waited on us, brought our meals, took care of our drinks, visited and seemed to care about us, and made sure everything was perfect. The food was AWESOME, but the customer service was the best. He took a not so good situation and made it good for us.“

“My husband and I had lunch at Cafe Rio today. We had no problem ordering at the Kiosk and our food came quickly. We ordered a steak bowl and a chicken bowl. Initially, they looked small, but they were loaded with meat and toppings, and I could only finish half of my bowl.
I thought the Cilantro rice was outstanding. The service was great, the employees were very friendly and we will definitely eat here again.“
