Customer Reviews
Very good Rio Location 👍 Excellent food , clean dining room , friendly crew. I got a sweet pork salad bowl and a mint limeaid . Looks like their ice machine has been out of comission a while - hey corporate , can you come lend a hand and help them fix it ? I nominate Macgegor for employee of the month with some paid vacation 😎 See ya'll next visit.
I love this restaurant as a whole. This location is on my husband's way home from work but it's got enough room for improvement that we sometimes avoid it in favor of Franklin or Eagle. The good: -Overall, the food is fresh and made to order -The staff is always kind and hard at work The less good -Their most popular ingredient (sweet pork!) is all over the place. It's not supposed to be spicy. And it's never spicy at the other Cafe Rios, but here it'll make your eyes water half the time. -To-go orders are sometimes treated with less care than pickup orders standing in line. The salad tortillas aren't toasted for to-go orders, which means that they are soggy by the time you pick them up and taste almost raw
I’m not sure why there’s so many negative reviews about this place. I love this location. They’re fully staffed, they may not greet you when you walk in, but that doesn’t matter to me. They have a nice, clean bathroom. Huge dining area. They did forget my limes for my burrito bowl, but if I’m gonna be upset over forgotten limes - I’d be wasting my own time. Overall, I’m happy with my order! I’d definitely recommend this location :)
Cafe Rio is the spot. Unfortunately, I just haven't had the best experience at this location. Meridian on Tenmile is my go-to. Our experience on Broadway was disappointing. The ice machine was out, the place was dirty and we just did not feel we were getting 'fresh food'. Each item we got, we were given the remaining remnants of the food in each container. It was only 6:00 PM, It wasn't closing time in which I could see that happening. Employees were friendly and knowledgeable though - that is a plus! I know this location gets more traffic than most, especially being close to BSU, so I cannot fault it completely. Please keep tables clean. Soda stations and napkins stocked. Customer service was good - keep that going for you!
Ok so I eat a lot of nachos. I've eaten a lot of Cafe Rio. This was my favorite experience. We came in just before the lunch rush and the place was empty but everyone was busy working on something. We were greeted warmly, the homies making the nachos was pure art, it was delicious, and the music select made my elder emo heart happy. 10/10.
