The staff at the Queen Creek, AZ location were very overwhelmed and seemed very uninterested in doing their jobs the night we went there to do a takeout dinner order. The food stations behind the counter looked messy and unappealing. The horchata drink was empty and when we said something they said “sorry it’s all gone”. The food quality was poor as well. Some of our chips were soft and mushy and our rice was hard. Very disappointed in the overall experience!
Order not correct. Missing dressing that we paid for. Lettuce in salad was brown. Tacos I ordered extra shredded cheese, side of cotija cheese. Didn't get any of the items. Paid for house dressing, tomatillo, didn't get it. Also.. burrito was cold, mostly rice, hard to find the chicken, and the cilantro in top.... Looks like baby trees! Is there any effort in the food they make??

I got a sweet pork tostada from the drive thru and came home to eat it and I had two bites and can’t finish it. The lettuce is so soggy and the sweet pork has a really gamey taste to it. I had to throw this away and I’m not a picky eater. Eww.

THE STAFF IS RUDE AND UNACCOMODATING. THE MANAGER WAS OUTRIGHT HOSTILE AND ACTUALLY TOLD ME TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE WHEN I ASKED FOR A MODEST ORDER MODIFICATION. I'D HIGHLY RECOMMEND SPENDING YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Cafe Rio has been one of my go to places for a fresh Mexican experience for years. However, my last couple of visits, there has been nothing fresh about their food. Their quality control for in person dining as well as take out dining has gone way downhill over the past little while. I would say I eat here 2-4 times per month. The past two times have been sub par to say the least. The protein I like the most is their grilled chicken (which they charge extra for) and it has lately been dry as leather.This last visit I ordered to go. I ordered grilled chicken enchilada’s and the chicken was again very dry. The enchiladas are served with rice and beans. I ordered the pinto beans which were obviously the bottom of the pan and seemed to have been sitting for quite some time. The rice was in similar if not worst condition. It was crunchy… I don’t know about you, but I don’t like crunchy rice. Nothing fresh about it.I also ordered chips with Queso dip. The container of Queso was only filled 2/3 full. This made me feel even more like quality control is non existent.Cafe Rio, I really love your food. Please do better.Parking: Construction on 2100 South requires you to be driving westbound to even enter the parking lot

I love Cafe Rio, yet this location is so busy, the wait was about a half hour.
It is a perfect place to have something delicious for dinner, after a day in the mountains.Kid-friendliness: My children love children's quesadillas.
