" I ordered my food for delivery and was really disappointed. It took longer than stated and when my food arrived, items were missing. I tried their burrito for the first time, and while it was decent, I don’t understand the hype. It wasn’t bad, but certainly not authentic. I might give it another shot in the restaurant, as I’ve heard many good things about dining in. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pollo asado burrito and it was fantastic! The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere felt vibrant. I loved that you could see everything being prepared, which added to the authenticity of the experience. My only complaint was how busy it was—at times, I felt overlooked by the staff. Still, I left happy and satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Cafe Rio was a mixed bag. The staff was friendly, but the wait for food was longer than expected. I ordered a salad and it was quite generous in size, but I felt it could use a little more seasoning. The environment was nice, very family-friendly, which I appreciated. However, I think they need to work on timing. Overall, I would still visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Rio has been my go-to for Mexican food for years. The fresher ingredients really set them apart from other places. I usually order their steak burrito enchilada style which comes out hot and packed with flavor. I do wish they would offer more traditional sauces, though. Service is usually friendly, but they tend to be understaffed during peak hours. Overall, it remains one of my favorites. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews from friends, I decided to give Cafe Rio a shot. While the food was fresh, I was hoping for something more authentic. The flavors were decent but not what I would call traditional Mexican cuisine. The service was fairly quick, and the atmosphere was lively, which I appreciated. I'd go back to try some different items, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my last visit to Cafe Rio, I was let down by the service. The staff seemed overwhelmed, and my order was mixed up. The food, however, was quite good, and that’s what kept me coming back. The burritos are packed with meat and great flavors. The place needs more staff during peak hours to lessen the chaos, but I still enjoyed my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Cafe Rio during a busy afternoon and the experience was enjoyable! The food was served relatively quickly, and I loved their variety of drink options. I ordered the nachos with cheese and the portions were quite generous, enough to feed two people. The only bummer was the service wasn't as friendly as I expected. I felt a bit rushed even though the place wasn’t packed. " (*Curated Review*)
