★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Hopelessly Lost · Jan 2026

I’m extremely disappointed with my recent experience at this Café Rio. While eating my salad, I found a sharp piece of metal wire mixed in with the food. This is a serious safety hazard in something that could easily injure someone if swallowed or even just bitten into. Finding foreign objects in food is unacceptable, and it raises major concerns about kitchen cleanliness and quality control. I expect a restaurant to take basic precautions to ensure customer safety, and this incident shows a clear failure in that responsibility.

Didn't actually eat here. Showed up around 5:55pm, went thru the line had them make a delicious looking bowl when I got to the end of pay the cashier asked if it was dine in or carry out. She quickly corrected herself saying actually they were closing right now and carry out was the only option. She told me quite rudely it was posted on the door and I should have seen it. Since I was nowhere near home and planned to eat there I had no choice but to leave. Turns out they were closing for an employee Christmas party. That's great and I fully support giving thanks to the employees. However my gripe is with the rude employee and the incompetent manager on duty that didn't tell people as they were walking in or anything, just letting people get in line and think they can eat there. I've inclu

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Diego Vinicius · Apr 2025

This place has gone downhill. The new staff is doing a poor job — portions are way smaller than before, especially the meat, which now comes in tiny, disappointing amounts. My recent visits have been frustrating. Today, around 7:00 p.m., I got a piece of meat so salty it was completely inedible and had to be thrown away. The salad was carelessly prepared with huge, uncut pieces. I used to love Café Rio in South Jordan and always gave it top ratings. But if things don’t improve immediately, you’re going to lose an entire family of loyal customers. Management needs to seriously address the staff’s performance and the declining food quality — this is far from the excellence that once defined this location.

★★★★★ 5.0 Murphy Dyckman · Feb 2026

I eat at Cafe Rio at least twice a week. Their food is fresh and savory. They never disappoint. The staff is always friendly and willing to serve with a smile, even when it's super busy. There is always an employee cleaning the empty tables and making sure there is enough of everything from napkins to utensils I love Cafe Rio.

★★★★★ 5.0 Cody Smith · Jul 2024

This is the best cafe Rio location by far. We’ve been going here for many years and love the staff. Some cafe rios have stopped putting cheese on the tortillas for salads but this place doesn’t cut any corners like that. The dining room is always clean and we never have a problem finding a clean table. Food and portions are always great.
