El Rio Mexican Cafe

The Honey Garlic Shrimp Tacos were the best tacos I have ever had. The special sauce finished it off just right. Rice and Beans had great flavors. Nice addition with the pickled jalapeños.

After a couple more minutes she handed me a menu, which took only a moment, then went back to mixing drinks, running them out to tables, taking other orders, and go
