We have been eating here since they opened during Covid. They have done so many great improvements. Their porch area is wonderful with big fans. In winter they enclose with windows for continued dining. Always full of people. Great frozen margarita! And the food is always delicious. Their birria tacos were great. The soup is slightly thickened which is great when you dip. It could use just a bit more garlic but was still very good. Tacos are filled with meat. No skimping even with the price of beef and the meal was very very reasonable. read more

I am so sorry to have to leave this kind of review because I really do enjoy supporting smaller, locally owned restaurants and want to see them succeed. My daughter, my 2-year-old grandson, and I stopped in for dinner. We were told to seat ourselves, which was perfectly fine. Unfortunately, from the beginning, our waiter seemed extremely rushed. When he took our drink order, I asked if they had sweet tea. I was going to ask for half sweet and half unsweetened, but before I could finish, he quickly turned and walked away. I wasn't going to make a big deal about it, but unfortunately, the service continued in much the same way. We asked for extra napkins but never received them, so my daughter eventually got up and brought some back to our table herself. What really surprised us was that our waiter came by, took about half of the napkins she had brought over, and walked away without saying a word. We also asked several times for more chips and never received them. Before leaving, we asked once again so we could take some home with the guacamole we had left, and we finally received them. After I got home, I did call the restaurant and spoke with the manager about our experience. I understand that everyone can have a bad or stressful day, and perhaps that was the case. But when you're working with the public, a smile, a kind word, and simply making your customers feel welcome can go such a long way. I truly want to see smaller restaurants like this succeed, which is why I hope management will take this feedback as constructive and remind their staff how important good customer service is. I'm not saying I will never return, but after this experience, it may be a while before I do. read more

Food was good and the portions were just right for lunch. I liked that you could customize so many options like the salsa with the chimichanga. The classic margaritas were also tasty! read more

Ordered quesadillas chicken no seasoning was boiled plain put in soft shell with cheese very tasteless and no appeal, no color, beans straight out of can no seasoning plain no appeal or taste, salsa no flavoring just red, Margarita Monday a joke 9.50.. no thanks, ambiance looked like inside of a old McDonalds with dark wood. No one in this place I see why it's horrible and service slow to only have 2 tables of 2 people. Worst Mexican food I have had read more

Love the food and service! Staff is very friendly and accommodating. We go there several times a month.

The food here was absolutely amazing. Best fajitas I have ever had! The sauce on the fajitas made them even more wonderful. Their signature margarita was mixed beautifully and had great flavor. The Christmas music in Spanish was perfect for the ambiance and the service was excellent. Our server made great recommendations and we had our food within 15 minutes of ordering. I would highly recommend this restaurant, and we will be back! read more

I got a vegetarian burrito and it was just a bunch of sautéed onions and bean water (they were so runny the brown water just filled my plate). The chips were horribly stale. The dining area feels more like a school cafeteria. The added on porch makes it even odder. The margs were ok, somewhat strong at least, but the guava flavor was bad. Overall, I would never come here again. Average Mexican sets a higher bar than this place can meet. Not good. read more

Why is it 9 dollars for a thing of queso. It is listed no where on the menu and I was not made aware of this before I ordered. Do not come here read more

Really disappointed. I ordered the birria tacos and they forgot my onions and cilantro, and the limes were old and bone dry. Also the consome soup had nothing inside of it and it tasted bland. $17 was overpriced for what I got. read more

I've been to Cassa Del Rio about four or five times now and can honestly say that I'm qualified to leave a solid review. The patio is awesome I love sitting outside in the great weather and having a margarita and being able to relax after a long day at work. The patio is shaded and the service is phenomenal. My favorite thing they have is the option to create your own burrito. You can put whatever you want in this burrito and when it comes out to the table this thing is massive. Your jaw will drop when you see the size of their burritos and generally I can only eat half of it and then I have to bring the rest of it home for the next day. Their margaritas are really really good. I think my favorite margarita that I have with my wife is the mango and we order by the pitcher. I'm going to be back to this restaurant regularly because it's in walking distance, the people are really cool, the patio is the best one in Fairlawn that I know of, and their foods great at a very reasonable price. read more

Excellent choice food served super fast. Large portions and affordable pricing. You can dine in like any other Mexican restaurant or order fast casual style like Chipotle. Friendly staff. read more

Food looked delicious, but my Birra Tacos and consumé (barely warm) lacked flavor. The salsa was delicious spicy enough and had good flavor as well as my guava margarita. Might have been an off day. I loved the patio seating and plenty of parking, service was fast and friendly. If I was in town longer I would try again. read more

At a certain point, it stops mattering how much rice and beans you cram in a takeout container if the entree (chimichanga) is roughly half the length of a 5oz bottle of Tabasco. If it was a fluke, they fluked me twice today. Then again, one of these containers was (just) enough for a sick 11 year old with a not-very-big appetite, so I guess there's a "waste not, want not" argument to be made, so long as you're roughly as hungry as a sick kid. read more

Food very bland this is Mexican food I had fajitas tasted like the chicken was boiled not grilled not one noticeable spice like peppers cilantro refried beans were chalky and tasteless I have been to Mexico many times This is not Mexican food but rather Americanized bland poor quality and nothing like original Mexican dishes Very very disappointing been to there location s many times but this is the second time food missed the mark Something has changed read more

They claim my order didn't go through at pick up even though I had the confirmation. The entire order was wrong and I even got less than what I ordered, but my invoice did not change it. The same amount came off my credit card. When I called, they continued to argue they didn't get my order (after I picked up the one they packed). Stale chips. Very upset read more

Buffet style taco bar, more like a taqueria and outdoor seating. Very confusing entrance to parking lot, and even more confusing front door entrance. No clear point to start your order either. Was too confused and the tomatoes didn't look very red, and I wanted to sit down. Not the place for me, and it didn't look very appetizing. The curb to entrance is about 5 inches tall and you have to drive over it. There is a sign that says entrance, and it's definitely not their entrance. You then have to drive over a broken down wire across parking lots and it scraped my underbody. Not cool. The outdoor seating was warmer than the inside. read more

Let me begin by saying this....I'm not a Mexican food fan. Spices too often are hotter than I expected. Well, today, NATIONAL TACO DAY, Phil wanted tacos. Relenting to his desire, I obliged. This place is very inviting. Want wait service, have a seat, otherwise order inside for your order. I ordered the shrimp cocktail....amazing, order guacamole......best ever. Waitress as well as the other servers were very friendly, excellent service. This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. read more

I realize everyone has different tastes, and I'm not a food expert but this was probably the worst experience I've ever had with food quality. The salsa was more like tomato water with a sprinkle of cilantro. We were there at noon and there may have been a half dozen tables with patrons, otherwise it was empty. I understand it is called express but our food arrived less than 3 minutes after we ordered it, which kind of tells me that the food was prepared sitting on warming tables and they threw it on a serving tray and brought it out. What really irked me was that we met family there and were enjoying some conversation after our not so delicious meal and the waitress came up and said "are you ready " She meant are you ready to pay the bill. I will be informing my family who suggested that we eat there. Rule 360 " tell one person of a bad experience and soon 360 people know " 1 star is 2 too many for casa del rio read more

Stellar food + service + very reasonable prices. I feel badly that I've driven by + discounted this place because it looks very un-fancy from the street. Guess what, the food is really, really good (incredible fajitas + guava margarita) + the service was excellent. Can't wait to go back. read more

Best damn Mexican food I have had in a long time, awesome place to enjoy the evening and a Pina colada, great atmosphere excellent drinks and the chips are on fire!! read more

Food and service were amazing! Will definitely be back for the Queso and fajitas! The outdoor patio is great.

The largest margaritas and yummy although the service was excellent and the cheese dip and guacamole was awesome and the lunch deal was just the right amount was delicious !!! read more

Casual Mexican place but so welcoming! I visited this place for a casual dinner. The dining inside at that time was still closed, but the cafe had open a cozy patio. The weather allowed to have the dinner outside. I really liked the welcoming hostess and the smiley waitress. The cafe was clean and well kept. I was surprised of the size of the portion! I ate half of my dinner and took home leftovers. The menu had many items to choose from and I feel that everyone could find something for themselves. Next time, I will try their margaritas. Coming back read more

Yummy, delicious . Quick service. Took it to go. Recommend checking it out. Kids Taco & Rice. Taco Salad.

Excellent food and the margaritas are the bomb. You won't be disappointed. I especially Like the chicken fajitas.

Since I placed a carryout order, I can't speak to much about the inside. Upon walking through, it seems like a nice clean little place. It's a shame that so many little places like this get overlooked in place of Chipotle. The food here was amazing for all three of the items we placed. Super flavorful and huge serving sizes. Not to mention, the food was ready in under 10 minutes and the staff was friendly upon pickup. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here more often! read more

I stopped by for lunch as I have been to their Wadsworth location many times. I wasn't sure what the express would be like but it was a great experience. It is a higher end chipotle. The ingredients are better, fresher and more traditional Mexican fare. The rice choices are white or a tomato rice. There are several meet options including taco meat. It was a little chilly to sit outside but a great option on a warmer day. The staff was very friendly. They seemed happy to be there. I was impressed. read more

Their food is quite tasty. The portions are good, especially for the price, and the service is fast.

This spot is great! Large portions, friendly service and a great stop for lunch/dinner. I love that you can buy a canned beer to eat your meal with, just a nice touch that made my experience. I had the Pollo Adobo and it was awesome. Tender chicken, perfectly cooked onions and peppers, flavorful sauce, and warm tortillas. Definitely worth the 14$ price point, there is more than enough here for one person. Definitely a lunch takeout spot going forward! read more

Great food! We ordered takeout, and it was ready on time. We had fajita bowls, thought they might throw in chips and salsa like some other places, but that didn't happen. read more

I've recently ordered from here twice. The first time I ordered the Pastor Tacos with Mexican Rice and Refried Beans with added lettuce and tomato and a Dr. Pepper. The second time I ordered the Street Tacos with added lettuce, tomato, sour cream, Mexican Rice, Refried Beans, and a side of Tortilla Chips and Queso. It was all delicious. Excellent service. It's a cool place. read more
