" I had such a delightful meal at Cafe Rio! The staff was super friendly and they sang to me since it was my first visit. I really appreciated that personal touch! My shrimp tacos were delicious—plenty of fresh flavors and a good portion. The restaurant had a lively vibe, but I can see how it may sometimes get chaotic during busy hours. Overall, a great dining experience, and I can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Cafe Rio last weekend and was disappointed. The service was poor and it seemed like the staff was untrained. I ordered a chicken salad but they forgot to add the chicken! It took several prompts just to get it fixed. While the food was fresh, the overall experience was marred by the rude staff. I might go back, but only if I'm really hungry and can't find anything else. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Cafe Rio after hearing rave reviews, and while I enjoyed the décor and ambiance, the food fell short. I spent $15 on a salad that barely had any chicken! It's frustrating that they skimp on portions. I would recommend checking your order before leaving since I noticed others struggling with incorrect orders as well. I may try once more in the future, but I’m on the fence about making it a regular stop. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants, and Cafe Rio is one of the averages for me. The food quality can vary, and while I had a good experience last time, the visit before that left a sour note. I do love the vibrant decor, and the atmosphere is very welcoming but service needs to be more attentive. I’d consider coming back if they can guarantee consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was rather underwhelming. I was excited to try Cafe Rio because of the buzz, but when I got there, I found the service to be lacking. The staff seemed overwhelmed and it took a long time for my order to be taken. I ordered a burrito and a salad, but the flavors didn't really pop. They claimed to have fresh ingredients, but they seemed a bit bland. I probably won't return soon unless things change. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Cafe Rio during a quick lunch break, and it was a pleasant surprise! The food was bursting with authentic flavors, especially their salsa. I ordered a modified burrito and the staff were more than accommodating. The establishment was clean, and overall it feels very inviting. I will be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was a decent meal, but nothing spectacular. I had a burrito that tasted good enough but felt like it was missing something. Service was average, and I had no complaints about cleanliness. I might try it again but would not make it a priority. " (*Curated Review*)
