★★★★★ 5.0 Amanda F · Nov 2025

The restaurant was well kept, food was fresh and delicious, lettuce was chopped the proper size, portions were generous, and the staff was friendly. We came to this location specifically for the poor reviews because I was so surprised by them. Our experience was a good one! We will definitely come again to enjoy the amazing food and value we know Cafe Rio to serve, in this location and others.

Friendly staff but they can’t chop salad to save their lives. This is the second salad from this location I’ve had this week with huge pieces of salad. Plus, I got his with shredded lettuce.

My Husband and I, came in on Saturday (December 27th 2025) and had gone through the drive thru and ordered two bowls and when we received our order I had seen our orders were made wrong so we went inside and told someone and the guy who made our food apologized and gave us two free drinks then had told us there would be a wait on rice (they were remaking our bowls) so we sat and waited and when we got up some girl working that had long ish black hair and wore her hair in a braid started making our food but was so disrespectful, she was rolling her eyes and asked if we wanted cheese and we said yes and she completely ignored it and when we said we want cheese she rolled her eyes again and muttered “of course” under her breath in the rudest way. Then the way she kept asking “what else do yo

Literally stood IN FRONT of the manager for 15 minutes (5 feet away) while he pretended to do soemthing - never asked me if I needed help EVER. 25 minutes later, I asked a worker about my online order and they were still working on it. The manager still pretended to not know how to manage. He’s the older one with skinny jeans / salt and pepper beard - if a general manager happens to read this. Please work on the customer service, this is the only location lacking in that area. To not even GREET a customer is crazy. Find new management. sincerely, @TheBoiseFoodie
