Cafe Rio Mexican Grill

Sweet barbacoa is my favorite. Came here recently to satisfy the cravings and it was well worth it.

Better than chipotle. Sweet Pork Salad is super good. Shredded beef burrito with mild sauce and enchilada style can’t be beat.

Invited my parents out to lunch and my dad picked this place. My picky eater son said he’d give it a try. After his meal he said it was like Chipotle but better. More options on how to have your meal.

Step 1 - pick how you want your Mexican meal displayed. Tacos, burrito, nachos, quesadilla, bowl

Step 2- pick your protein. The pork is really good but I decided to try the beef in my quesadilla. I’m pretty much a creature of habit and choose chicken but I was living on the edge and changed it up

Step 3- choose what goes in it. Pinto or black beans, cheese, lettuce, pico, salsa, guacamole, sour cream. Certain items come with your meal, some are extra.

It’s a huge meal and I was surprised my son devoured his entire burrito in 5 minutes but he loved it.

Worth trying!

If you're a Cafe Rio fan then you know what the food taste like. However, there are some differences between the original restaurants in SLC and the CA locations. Ultimately, they are not competitively priced anymore. If you live by the beach this location is not as convenient because it is across the street from the Home Depot on Warner, but it beats going to Costa Mesa.
