Sixteen years ago, I left a one-star review because my order came with cheese after I specifically…read morerequested no cheese while pregnant. Looking back, I think it's time to give credit where credit is due. These days, I regularly order the Havasu Salad with salmon, and it's fantastic. The portion is enormous, the ingredients are fresh, and it's one of the few salads that actually feels like a complete meal. The salmon pairs perfectly with it, and I always leave full and happy. One order mistake from 16 years ago shouldn't outweigh years of consistently good food. If you're a salad lover, definitely give the Havasu Salad a try.

This was an unexpected lunch outing at Rio Adobe Southwest Cafe after a quick trip to Kaiser. My…read morefriend Will was craving Mexican, and we landed here. With over 900 reviews, I had high hopes--and I'm glad to say my meal delivered. Food (4.5 stars) + The two-taco combo (about $13) was a win for me. I chose carnitas and adobada (that saucy red mole-like one!). The adobada was rich, flavorful, and unique, while the carnitas, although a bit dry, had a nice smokiness. The sweet bite of the onions really balanced the tacos--maybe a touch more cilantro and onions next time. + Kat's carnitas burrito was bright red and juicy (I found it perfect, even if she thought it was a tad dry). I think they put some similar yummy sauce as the adobada. Generous portion, meaty, and delicious. + Will's carne asada quesadillas were cheesy and tender. He found them bland, but I thought they were fine. Plus, the generous guac portion (even if it needed a squeeze of lime) was a nice touch. + The salsa bar deserves a shout-out. Mixing the spicy corn-bean blend with hot salsa and pico de gallo? That's a flavor bomb right there. - Carne asada nachos, while generous, fell flat. There was also quite a generous portion of guacamole along with sour cream. My only complaint is the meat lacked that smokiness or char of most asadas. It felt bland--almost taste boiled. I took the meat home to doctor it up! Service/Ambiance (4 stars) + I put this under service because I'm a fan of the unexpected and getting chips with our meal was a nice touch. Bonus Star! ~ You order at the counter, grab your own drinks. Staff were minimal but efficient enough for what it was. It's casual--not full service, but they get the job done. ~ Ambiance is simple--nothing fancy. You've got a salsa bar, a drink station, and it's very much a "grab a table" kind of place. Overall, for a quick, affordable sit-down Mexican spot, it hit the spot for me. My friends rated it 3.5 stars, but I loved it. I'd come back for the carnitas burrito and salsa bar alone!

I would suggest that the serve mention that when taking orders so we know. Just because it's at the very bottom of the menu I didn't notice it until I asked for a dessert menu. The food was so good! We had Mexican jambalaya, Carne asada plate, tacos Dorado, enchiladas with both sauces, parillada, enfrioladas (bean enchiladas) tacos de pescado, Don julio flight, multiple drinks and churros. The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling. We also ordered a tres leches cake but we didn't like the tres leches cake, it was too sweet, so sweet that we couldn't taste the filling which we assume was pineapple lol the color was yellow with pieces of fruit but we couldn't taste it.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up. There was only one server working and she was really hustling to meet everyone's needs. Plus, she was friendly. I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

It's never been crowded when I'm here. + They control how many little containers of salsa you get (you ask when ordering -- they're not out) but she always gives me 3-4 more containers than I ask for. Love the chipotle cream sauce. I put it on everything. I've tried to buy bottles of chipotle cream sauce and they don't compare. + Carne Asada plate is awesome. Lots of carne asada, eggs, beans, Mexican rice. Soooo tasty. + Decent prices. Salsas (in order of mild to spiciest): * Red, chunky. * Green, clear. Pleasantly acidic. Fresh tasting. Tastes like tomato. * Red, smoother. Incredibly smoky, like drinking an old attic. Kick. * Green, creamy looking. Less acidic, hints of cilantro.
