I ordered online and showed up early to pick up my order. I was told I was early so id have to wait (which I was fine with). Its 9:20 at night there is no one in the line and im told they will start making it in 7 min closer to my pickup time. I watched the whole place sit and wait for 7 min and do nothing (maybe make my order)? Then im still here waiting at 9:32....12 min after my pickup time because my order isnt made. I cant believe this at all. Also didn't give me the chips with the chips and salsa. No tortillas in the salads and the actual food (rice, beans and meat were all ice cold) I will not be returning to the American Fork location.

Came here around 5:20 PM after a long day of moving and the line was already spilling into the seating area. I expected it to be busy, but the lack of urgency from the staff made everything worse. Employees could clearly see the line backing up, yet several people were walking around instead of helping the service line. One person was handling both online orders and the register, which slowed things down even more. The whole setup felt very unorganized with no one stepping in to manage the rush. After waiting almost an hour, they ran out of steak right when it was my turn. They were only able to complete half my order and there was no backup meat being prepped. When I did finally receive food, it was cold. This is fast food. Waiting an hour just to receive half an order with cold food i

Cafe Rio is great!!! I probably don't have to tell you that. Taco Tuesday for $2.49 ala carte tacos? You gotta be kidding! Love it. Sweet Pork for me! Make sure to get a little dressing (the only downside, ya gotta pay for that). I'm going to start trying the other meats since we're going more often with the weekday deals. I've had them before but just can't remember, and there's no complaining about the pork, so no biggie either way. I also like getting the tortilla strips on my tacos for some extra crunch. Also, the kids quesadilla is fantastic. Don't pass up a little side dish. Kids meals are great, too. Enjoy a pic of this fine fare. Update: have been going quite a bit, on Tuesdays 😂 They do great. Been feeding everyone for $5 each. Another update: great again! Been filling out r

In June 2025, we visited Cafe Rio in American Fork, Utah. Cafe Rio in American Fork is one of our favorite places to eat. They have reasonable prices and many promotions and reward points to help lower the costs. The food is delicious and well-portioned and the staff is friendly and helpful. We enjoy our frequent visits to Cafe Rio in American Fork. I highly recommend other people to patronize this location. Cafe Rio also treats Veterans well, and gives discounts to Veterans who have a valid form of identification.

This is aMAZING food. So fresh. Made in house. Customize your order. So fresh and tasty. The cilantro salad dressing is epic. We get the tostada—basically a salad but it’s a better size. Salads can feed 2 or more people.
