    Yesterday for a late afternoon “Taco Tuesday” my wife and I had 4 tacos ( me 3 ) She had a large tortilla and a large pop. The gentleman who served me was kind, attentive, and got our order right away. He made me realize why customer service like this makes me feel appreciated. Great job Cafe Rio!

    Amazing restaurant. I had been eating at all the Vegan restaurants the past week and just wanted to get a simple rice and bean burrito. Cafe Rio exceeded my expectations. The burrito was incredible. Stuffed to the hilt with beans and rice. To make matters better we showed up on a Tuesday and burritos were just 5.99 instead of the usual 9.99. I highly recommend this restaurant. The tortillas are made on the spot, then filled with fresh ingredients. Their sauce bar is amazing. And the ice machine at the soda fountain has awesome little cubes!

    One of my favorite quick Mexican stops. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. The salad is essentially a large, open faced burrito. I’ve had each of the meats and they’re all really nice. Make it a combo of meats. You’ll love it. The horchata is my favorite.

    I got catering from Cafe Rio for an event, and there was a bit of a mix-up with the proteins that I had ordered for my taco bar. They immediately called the manager to sort through the issue and brought back additional meat to get me to what I had ordered very quickly. They were so kind and very helpful in getting everything set up for my catered delivery. I will definitely use Cafe Rio again for their professionalism, excellent customer service and my favorite Mexican food in Denver!
