Burnt Birria
Jessilyn C.

When Cafe Rio first opened my family and I went to dine there. I figured they were new, and the crew still needed a lot of training which was understandable. I didn't care for the place, or their food, but my husband, and children didn't mind it. So they've been going Cafe Rio for years. I on the other hand would not budge. Plus the fact that every time they order delivery, there's always a problem, but since they get a refund, they still support Cafe Rio. However recently my husband told me that Cafe Rio now has Birria tacos. Knowing how Birria is one of my fave tacos that I'll travel far just to get some, I decided to go ahead and give them another chance. My husband ordered delivery, and wouldn't you know it...my order wasn't delivered. So dealing with corporate to receive refund wasn't a joy either. But since my husband had two burrows in his order, he just shared with me. I figured ok it's not bad, it's not as good as what I get at different places that serve Birria or Mexican food for all that matter. But I decided to give them yet another chance, and order Birria tacos the week after. Again it wasn't bad, but the consommé was missing. Ok so we didn't complain because it's a good thing I ordered chips, and guacamole to help since I didn't have any consommé to dip my Birria taco in. So you might wonder why the 1 star...well you'd think 3rd time's a charm right...wrong! Today my husband ordered a Birria meal for me to arrive when I got home. This time the consommé arrived, and it was delivered with care. But both my tacos were burnt that both inedible. My daughter said why don't you get your money back? I'm tired of having to get refunds! So instead, I just can't support this place anymore. If my daughters decide to dine there that's their choice. But I can't spend anymore at Cafe Rio. I would rather fly to L.A., San Diego or even Mexico to get good food , and spend the money there.

Burrito bowl salad

Food is just okay. $13 for a burrito, $13 for a salad. Picked up. Burrito --- got some barbacoa. Few issues: - Lathered in sweet sauce. Why the hell is the Barbacoa so sweet? Tasted like a dessert. - The rice in the burrito was undercooked. I was starving and yet I felt like I ate the burrito out of necessity rather enjoyment. Does that sound like a good lunch? Wife got the salad. Had a wedge/end of the lettuce stem. Who eats that? Uneven chopped lettuce. Noticed also some black ends of the lettuce. Feels off and difficult to eat with the variations in lettuce size. Honestly, I don't think the people hired here know how to cook or weren't taught the right methods of cooking. If I get sick from this salad, it may be due to the quality of lettuce. It needs an overhaul and I wouldn't be surprised if this restaurant is a part of kitchen nightmares.

Really enjoyed this meal! Think it's better to go in person as they seem to do better with getting your order right. Great meal!

Pretty good and the food does seem to taste better than chipotle. The Queso and Thursday shrimp tacos are great!

I thought this place had shut down but when I sent my husband to buy tamales, he came here. He said…read morethe place was up and running with customers. He only came here because he thought that if the tamal cost $6 then they had to be good. They were not. When I asked him where he got them and he said here, I looked it up on Yelp, who was saying they were permanently shut down. Little to no flavor. Traditional Guatemalan tamales have a slice of red bell pepper, and an olive in it, giving it more flavor but this one just had the meat and let me add that the amount of bones that were in the tamale was just absolutely unacceptable. Everyone knows that you don't put bones in tamales. The amount of times I bit into a bone or had to spit them out, made the eating process so unpleasant. I had told my husband to not come here anymore since it's so overpriced but I guess he forgot. It was just another reminder why I don't come here anymore

When we walked in we weren't exactly sure of the process, but it was clear we were supposed to…read moreorder at the counter first. The restaurant is big, spacious and super clean. We ordered the churrasco chapin (grilled steak with rice, black beans, sausage and house salad) and dobladas (tortillas with beef, cabbage and onion and homemade tomato sauce). The dobladas were yummy and hefty but not too heavy. The churrasco wasn't bad, lots of food. Food comes out relatively fast and is a little more on the pricey side.
