“Authentic, delicious Oaxacan food! The owners are so passionate – not only is the food spectacular but you will also come away knowing so much more about regional Mexican cuisine. DC has needed a restaurant like this for a loooooong time. Go eat there and support them as soon as possible!!!“

Their veg rice bowl is tasty and customizable with lots of fresh toppings, and the guacamole adds a great creamy boost to every bite.

“Luz (Peruana) nos dió buenas recomendaciones, nos encantó la atención, buen ambiente.“

“Good service, great food!“

“First time here with the family. Loved the food. Everyone enjoyed the food. Place was clean and the service was very good. I left off 1 star for atmosphere only because of the music. I'm a Hip Hop head and I enjoyed it. My wife and I talked about other families with younger kids. The music was not something you want to hear if you have young kids or non hip hop fans for that matter. Maybe try the radio version. The owners are well within their right to play what they want so just take this as some friendly advice.“

“😍Love Love Fish Taco Wildwood! Miss you! Hurry back!“

“Delicious food. Great service.“

“Food is great; it's just way overpriced. Each time you go there, you get less and less protein and more filler. Used to get 3 blackened fish, now its down to 2 (heck, it might be just 1 by now). Not worth the value. Used to go all the time, now, not so much.“

“The team there is amazing, they are approachable and very helpful. It was our first time there, but they made it easier for us to pick a meal which was very tasty.“

“We stopped by this Salvadorian-Mexican restaurant for breakfast and had a great experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

I ordered the Salvadorian típico, which came with scrambled eggs mixed with shredded beef, sweet plantains, and traditional sides. Everything was well seasoned and cooked just right. We also tried the cheese pupusas, and they were excellent. Hot, cheesy, and full of flavor. The coffee was really good and completed the breakfast.

Customer service also stood out. The cashier was friendly, polite, and welcoming, which made the visit even better.

Overall, everything was on point. From the food to the service, this is a great spot if you are looking for authentic Salvadorian food or a solid breakfast. We will definitely be back.“

“When I want a burrito, I dont go to Chipotle or District Taco. I come here! The ingredients are fresh and flavorful. The young lady at the front is always kind and accommodating. The fresh fruit juices are delicious. What more can you ask for!

Service was fast, food was amazing, the staff were great..even the security people! We got to witness 3 birthday celebrations they do and the performance is quick & fun!! Ricardo came by at the end of our meal to make sure we were good and helped pack our leftovers to go! Great things to say about this place and will definitely be returning. Thank you everyone for the top tier service“

“Quick table and good food“

“Food can be inconsistent and located out front of a gas station now, but the tacos and Quesadillas that I've had are generally good a reasonably priced. Birria has largely been delicious when ordered. Haven't had an issue with language barrier when ordering in person.“

“Like six years ago, this place used to be a Carne Asada grill. They had the best Carne Asada you could imagine with a lot of fat on the meat. Now it’s a burrito place, which is still very good! I am wondering, what happened to the old owner? Is it the same ownership?“

“Food was super delicious! 100% recommended and a 5 ⭐️ rating!“

“always consistently good food“

“I don’t say this lightly, but this place is an absolute MUST TRY 🌮🔥
From the moment you take your first bite, you can taste the freshness and quality in every ingredient. The tacos are packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and made to perfection. And the best part? The price is incredible for the amount and quality you get, seriously unbeatable.
The selection is amazing too, so many options that you’ll want to come back just to try everything. Every bite feels fresh, every dish is generous in portion, and nothing feels skimpy or rushed.
If you’re looking for authentic, flavorful, and satisfying tacos that don’t break the bank, this is the spot. Hands down one of the best taco experiences I’ve had. 🌮✨“

“First time eating here had delivered for lunch baby bang taco was so good . Salsa and chips- the chips were so fresh salsa soooo good I will order again .“

“I am officially ruined. I ordered 2 al pastor & 1 carnitas tacos, and I am blown away. I also ordered a side of chips & guac, and it is THE BEST GUACAMOLE I’VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! This is not an exaggeration. I will always and forever crave Tortacos now.“

“The tacos were delicious but my favorite was the shrimp tacos, yummy. The mango margarita was also beautiful and delicious!“

“I thought it was good and I really like it“

“Muy bonito lugar familiar pequeño pero mucha calidad humana“

“super riquicimos tacos los mejores una atencion esencial para my son los mejores tacos“

“Salmon Relleno and Cadillac Margarita and Tres Leches for dessert.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! I had beef fajitas, my aunt had the salmon with a wine sauce, my grandma had the carne assada, and my husband had a beef milanesa. I tried everyone’s food and loved all the plates. The meat was so juicy and tender! I have eaten at numerous latin restaurants over the years and this is definitely on top of my list. We received a tres leches cake for my grandma’s birthday and I can say it was the best one I’ve ever had. Just perfect 😍“

“Experience is awesome… please share the details and go have a taco“

“This is the best Cafe Rio I've been to in the DMV. One complaint: they're not located closer to my house! The folks behind the counter were nice and cheerful. The food was excellent as always. Great portions and fresh. I'll be going to Cafe Rio for years to come!“

“Great 👍 food, excellent service- love the chips and salsa.“

“I went to dine on Friday at 7 PM, I was attended by a very friendly girl. She greeted me with a smile, she served my food with kindness, I often visit that store. But not everyone serves my food with kindness, they walk with bitter faces. They should all be kind. Thank you, Lili!“

“I live in king farm MD and the Baja Fresh here is the best as the ladies who serve are super kind, patient, helpful. I find the person taking the order always very sweet. Of course, I love their food and my favorite is their chicken fajitas.“

“The best hole-in-the-wall Mexican place in Gaithersburg. However the staff plays loud music on all the TVs, loud enough they can hear it from the kitchen... but as a customer you have to sit by those TVs and the noise is unpleasant. Meals here are fantastic, they just can't last too long on account of the noise.“

“Aprobados por un mexicano 😋🥰 Demasiadamente deliciosos Gracias por traer tacos a silver spring Md“

“Oh, great food! The tacos from that truck are seriously my favorite too; they always hit the spot. The ingredients are always fresh, and the flavors just explode in your mouth. I love how quickly they make them, so I can get back to whatever I was doing. Honestly, I could eat them every day.“

“great company and fun employees“

“Easy to see from the road, decent sized lot, a table or two for eating. Good menu selection for proteins and how they're prepared. Loved the house made spicy sauce.

Got the birra, nice heavy tacos, double tortilla and the au'jus was decent.

If I'm ever working out this way I will remember this spot, always interested to try anything off the menu.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars

I visited Café Rio this past Wednesday after going to Trader Joe’s, and I had an excellent experience. I love Mexican food, and when I saw Café Rio right in front of me, I decided to give it a try ,and it was definitely the right choice!

The food was delicious, everything was super fresh, and the portions were very generous — more than enough for one person. The salad was especially amazing: fresh, crisp, and full of flavor.

The atmosphere was great, with good music, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They explained everything clearly, guided us through the menu, and you could tell they were enjoying their shift.

I went with my family, and we had a really lovely time. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!“
