★★★★☆ 4.0 Lisa Smith · Nov 2025

The location was clean and staff super friendly and helpful. The nachos are really good the burrito not as much. They had a a new person making the tortillas so they were not the normal quality I was told. They have a drink bar where you can add syrups to chance the flavors. The bathrooms are clean and there’s plenty of parking they share with a lot of other stores. The surface was good and they have wide variety in their menu 10 out of 10. Recommend just ask if the regular tortilla maker is there

This was disappointing. I have been to the original in Provo before they expanded, and I have been follower for a while. It's been a while since I've been to a Cafe Rio and I was greatly disappointed. Rice was not cooked and tasted stale. Black beans had a weird flavor. Pork was okay, but not what I remembered. Guacamole was brown before I got home. This was so disappointing with me spending over $60 for my family.

Maria was fantastic. Food was excellent!! Loved my taco variety. Delicious!! And, tasty margaritas, made from scratch, not bottled.

Came in for lunch on a Friday at 1230 and we were able to get right in and order. Plenty of seating. The food was fresh and tasted great. Pretty much exactly what we were looking for. I think my only complaint was that the shredded chicken has giant pieces in it. Made it hard for my 7 year old to eat it. The chuck was bigger than my kids mouth! I will definitely come back for a fresh and quick lunch.

Yuck! Do better! This is a cheese enchilada…I think someone forgot to cook it? Also, pickup order was 30 min late. Usually love this place, but tonight they definitely missed the mark.
