Rio Blanco Cafe & Restaurant

We came after a big rush and they struggled to serve our food in a timely manner. The food itself was fine.

What a cute little restaurant! We showed up right before the weekend breakfast rush. It filled up quickly due to it being tiny. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful. The food was great! A good number of choices and some awesome coffee choice (espresso machine!)
Afterwards we checked out the pergola across the way near the river.
Highly recommend for small parties (best for family of 4 or less)

An eclectic little place located right on the river. Extremely friendly service and the food is amazing. Hand made, from scratch, local. Pancakes are to die for, eggs are fresh, even the berries are fresh picked. Make a point to stop if you haven't already!

We visited Rio Blanco Cafe & Restaurant today and had a generally pleasant experience, though a few things held it back from being exceptional.

The food was good, fresh and flavorful but nothing that stood out as over the top. The atmosphere was interesting, with Latin-style music setting a lively tone, though it was a bit too loud for the space and made conversation difficult at times.

One issue we noticed was with food delivery. Although the tables are numbered, the kitchen staff didn’t seem to know where the orders were going, which caused some unnecessary delays and confusion. All food and coffee orders must be placed at the bar, which, while efficient for quick service, wasn’t very conducive to ordering additional items mid-meal. It made it feel more like a walk-up café than a full-service restaurant.

On a positive note, the place was clean, and the staff was very prompt about clearing and wiping down tables after guests left, definitely a plus.

The biggest drawback of our visit was the loud, non-work-related conversation coming from the woman at the RV park desk. It was distracting and took away from the overall dining experience.

There’s potential here, and with a few adjustments; like refining the ordering process and keeping personal conversations private it could be a much stronger dining destination.

One of my favorite eateries of all time! The Rio Blanco burger is a must every time we come to town. Everything is exceptional in taste, quality, presentation and service. The proprietors are like family to us.

The food was absolutely delicious and so was the espresso drink! The establishment was clean and beautiful and we felt so welcomed by the staff. We can’t wait to go back! Cannot recommend this place enough!

What a sweet spot nestled in the hill country! The staff were so warm and attentive, and the taste and presentation of the food showed great care. Our group enjoyed the French toast, biscuit and gravy, quiche and a latte. The value for the serving size was spot on. We'll certainly be returning!
