Chris Karavoulias (BostonGreekGeek)
We were in California for a wedding and had to return my rental tuxedo nearby so we checked to see what was good to eat. We found this Mexican place had good reviews so we figured that is what we should try.
Initially I thought, ok this is good, I would say 4 stars as the food is fresh and tastes better than most Mexican places back on the East coast. I would go back but nothing that would make me say it’s a must.
Then I after the food, I went and got the tres leches cake. Well that changed my mind to think of this place as a 5 star place that I would definitely come back too. Unfortunately we can’t as we are in the East coast, but if you are thinking about it, then check it out and get the tres leches.
Plenty of parking and seating indoors and outdoors too.

KaaMillon EXTREMELY BLESSED
Most people know this place is expensive, but the food is good, so it’s somewhat worth it. I was here on Friday and the weekday staff were wonderful—very hospitable. However, the weekend staff today were extremely rude, which was disappointing. I felt rushed while ordering and forgot items because of the pressure. One employee had a visible attitude, and the overall service was poor. I’m considering calling to speak with a manager. I won’t be coming back on weekends again—weekday service is much better.

My wife and I visited this location yesterday, and while in line we noticed a bunch of spider webs and dust on the wall above where they start taking your ordered. While I was standing right in front of the big round tortilla grill we noticed that there were dust grease balls falling from the vent right above to the tortilla grill (pretty disgusting) and particles where landing on the large tortillas and the bowls. This is considered and health hazard and she be taken very seriously.

Great food especially on taco Tuesday. Tables were dirty. I asked for cheese on my taco but employee preparing my taco said there was cheese on it. I guess she duct take in consideration I wanted more cheese. Tables were dirty. They had an older Latina lady with glasses just talking instead of wiping the Tables first. I also asked her to refill horchats drink and never did, she refilled another drink instead.

Seems dirty. Girl making food was hard to understand. Queso was watery.
And apparently they don’t accept receipts for free dessert anymore. But… “They’ll let me this once”???
Annoying. I have at least eight more at home that say GOOD FOR FREE DESSERT.
There were NO strawberries on the tres leche and NO lime with the key lime pie. (Discovered those were missing after getting them home.) They only had whipped cream on them because I prompted her it was missing when she handed me the plain beige desserts. (“You don’t have whipped cream today?” I asked. “Let me see” she answered.)
Might not be going to Cafe Rio anymore if they don’t honor their word.

Just either be here early or let rush hour pass but they’re fairly fast. Try the burrito with sweet pork or the enchilada. Their taco salad is also a great choice. They also have weekday specials that you try out. Food and service are great!

I order online on Taco Tuesday. The last few times, they didn’t include all the condiments I ordered… salsa missing twice, forgot to put cheese once.

Food is great but service is extremely slow. The food prep area is a total mess. Dining area is messy and trash bins overflowing. Bathrooms are a mess with standing water on the floor. This is a chronic issue at this location—not an isolated incident. Aren’t you embarrassed?

It was late night and this spot was still open. I ordered their famous tres leches and it was phenomenal.
I’d definitely like to try their other menu items. Customer service was great and I’d definitely come back in the future for lunch at least.
