My rice wasn’t cooked all the way and our chips were very very very stale, and when asked to fix the problem they were very rude!

This place is OK. Let's start with the food. Everytime I go here the food is always fresh, the Portions they give (compared to other Cafe Rios) are pretty decent you will forsure get your money's worth, the steak is always so juicy and delicious everytime I come here. That's the only reason why I always seem to come back to this location because of the quality of the food. Now.. the customer service. Not good at all. 0 stars! The workers are fast but rude, no smile, no "hi what can I get you?" All I get are just stares..looking at me dead in the eye (into my soul) without saying a word. I'm the one who has to ask them questions and ask what goes next on my food. It's a very odd experience, honestly. It seems to be every time I go in as well. I'm not sure why? But it seems to always happen, I've noticed. It's also not a language barrier as I, too, speak spanish and have tried too communicate in English and Spanish. Still get the same blank stare without communication. Lol. The dining experience inside the restaurant is not good at all 0 stars as well. The tables are always so sticky, the utensil bar is not stocked, always a mess by the drinking fountain area, nobody seems to be cleaning the tables nor the utensil area. It's kind of gross when you're trying to enjoy your food and want to put your elbows on the table or accidentally touch the actual table without it being sticky.. I've also noticed that while eating inside the restaurant, the staff is always huddled up in groups gossiping about the customers in Spanish and judging them. I've overheard them. It makes me feel uncomfortable because what they say in Spanish about other customers is not okay. The worst part of it all.. is that the manager is also huddled up gossiping about customers how sad. So when I dine in.. I always make sure I put napkins on my table and have my back towards the hyenas.. Oh I mean coworkers. So I can try and enjoy my food without looking at them but they talk so loud I can still hear them. The only reason I am giving them 3 stars is because of the food quality. That is it. Everything else is a terrible experience for me. Would I recommend this place? Meh, give it a try. I honestly haven't tried the other meats because I always get the steak. But the rice is always cooked to perfection, the beans are delicious with yummy flavors and the sauces are delicious as well. The cooks are definitely doing something right. So food quality yes I would recommend you come here and take it to go, but beware for everything else you are in for if you eat inside. That is my honest opinion.

We love Cafe Rio but this place is terrible. They often don’t include sides that we ordered and we had to open the bag and check every single time we picked up the food. There is always something wrong with the order. The rice is undercooked sometimes. Really disappointed!

I will never go to this place again, the manager should not be qualified to work with customer service because of his terrible treatment, in addition to lying and giving false information, horrible experience!

Got a free meal card from a resident at my work & was refused from using it at this location. They even kept the card.
