Cafe Rio Fresh Modern Mexican

Updated 2.10.26: First time in since I've stopped eating meat. I ordered a veggie bowl and my roommate got the sweet barbacoa burrito. I enjoyed my fresh veggie bowl and having both pinto and black beans and adding the fresh corn salsa was a game changer. I left full and satisfied. Just fyi burritos are huge and are bound to have leftovers! It was lunch time when we arrived and the ambiance reflected that as many tables were taken, however when I walked up to order food there was no wait and we easily found a table. I was asked if I was willing to take a survey for free drinks with our meal and I said of course! Survey was simple and easy and completed it right there at the register. All the staff were nice and stayed on task--no one just standing there like some places.

I have been a loyal Cafe Rio customer for years, and I continue to come back to this location because of the people. Over time, I have gotten to know many of the employees by name, which speaks to how often I visit. I typically eat here three to four times per week, and the team consistently does an excellent job preparing my bowls. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and one of the main reasons I remain such a dedicated customer. That said, the cleanliness and overall atmosphere at this location could use improvement. Compared to the newer State Line location, this restaurant feels less maintained. The State Line location has a brighter interior, a fresher feel, and a noticeably cleaner environment. Unfortunately, the bathrooms at the Coeur d’Alene location are frequently messy and often

I wanna give 0 stars. Their meat portion for the price is bull crap. They rip you off. I got 4 chopped peaces of chicken for a 20 lbs salad (23 dollar salad). Told me it’s correct as it’s the size of a tiny salsa side… the kid size salsa cup for reference…. Anyway. Spend your money elsewhere. Place is a rip off

The brunette girl working the line at 12:55 today didn’t ask if I wanted rice and dumped a ton into my burrito & gave me a tiny tiny portion of meat. Couldn’t even eat it because it was 90% rice and 10% meat. For a $14 burrito you’d think they’d take the time to pay attention to what clients want in their food. Won’t be going back anymore & I frequent this place regularly. Hope someone takes her off the line.

Great place. Efficient line from ordering all the way to checkout. Great seating options. Would definitely recommend to all of my friends and family! Will definitely be coming back soon. Thank you again!
