Customer Reviews
We had to order our food 3 times in the drive through and when we got to the window, they still had to ask what we ordered (we ordered 4 of the exact same salads). Once we got home with our food, there was barely half a salad or less in each of the salads. Unless the portions changed recently, they were the most depressing salads we’ve ever seen from Cafe Rio. Also one of the salads had a giant piece of plastic glove in the dressing.
Got a bowl here, I live in Kuna and it was almost laughable how little of food I got. I asked for chicken and they barely gave me ANY FOOD. Picture for reference the kuna location is amazing. The star location sucks and I will not be back
Manager was upbeat with his employees and his guests. He was very knowledgeable and helpful when making it choices regarding the menu items. he also was generous in his serving sizes as well as when we only had a 20 to pay with our meal was seven dollars more he made it so it was just $20 so we didn’t have to be embarrassed. He also hooked us up with a free Large drink to leave a review and so it made us feel valued, but also more willing to leave a good review because the overall experience was fantastic. The previous customer was asking for bizarre items and made us wait super long in the line and the manager was aware of this and made our experience so much better.
I went a few months ago and the rice was crunchy and the tres leches was so dry. I decided to give it another try today because its close to my house. Ordered to go a salad, tostada and a kids meal. They only gave us one dressing, our kids meal was missing a side, they scooped salsa into one of the dividers and it spilled all over the food. We got chips and guac and they gave us queso instead. And we got horchata and it was pure syrup, I think they loaded the machine with the concentrate? I called in and they offered a refund but I will not be returning. Next time I'll spend the time to drive to Costa Vida and get my order correctly and way better food!
I usually go here for a long wait and good food. This time I had a very short wait for very bad food! The steak in my bowl was completely hard. Bad quality beef jerky would be comparable. After making the drive there and back I was very disappointed to find my food so lacking.
