About Cafe Rio Mexican Grill

Cafe Rio Fresh Modern Mexican is a must-visit spot for a fiesta of flavors! From shrimp tacos to hearty burritos and refreshing salads, every bite is enhanced by the creamy tomatillo dressing. The restaurant offers great prices, service, and large portions. Wheelchair accessibility is excellent, and it's kid-friendly. Visitors enjoy the juicy and flavorful enchilada, the signature sweet pork, and the extremely tasty horchata water. Many sides options are available, and the food comes out toasted with melted cheese. Vegetarian options like salads are also offered. Located in the City Creek Shopping Center, Cafe Rio provides a warm experience with friendly staff. While some customers noted that the salsa fresca could be improved and that the portions of chicken may vary, the overall experience remains positive. Despite busy parking, the quality of food and service makes the visit worthwhile. A return trip in 2026 for the grand opening is already on the agenda.

Service was good. The people...read full review
This was a bad experience from start to finish. The woman behind the counter ignored every request I had for my burrito. Add queso please? Ignored. Add pico and sour cream inside? Ignored.
The tortilla is so incredibly thin that as soon as I attempted to pick it up, my fingers went through it at every point. Poor quality ingredients and all that cost $20... Absolutely insane.
(Purely service) First time having Cafe Rio. Decided to get the app and order ahead to save some time. There was no on in line when I arrived.
