moving from Utah to the east. People rave about chipotle (more like crapotle)

I've been there a few times and I can't even finish there food. I donated blood and they gave us a $5 gift card to chipotle. I used it, and ate less than 1/3 of it and threw it away. The next time I donated, I gave it to a janitor at school that I know is having some financial/personal issues.

I've been spoiled by cafe rio and costa vida...

I like it but I wouldn’t call it the best Mexican food in the valley

6/29/18 4:29pm

Costa vida > Cafe Rio, mainly cause cafe rio nachos are terrible

My first real job was at Cafe Rio. The nachos were an off menu item at the time

6/29/18 4:33pm

Cafe Rio nachos are the bomb, just pour ranch on them and you're good to go

THE KlD

6/29/18 4:33pm

have you actually compared Costa vida nachos to Cafe Rio? its not even close

coltonbyu

I have a cousin who served a mission in Mexico,

Im pretty sure your being sarcastic, but i served in mexico, and my wifes

So that suddenly makes you an expert on nachos??

THE KlD

dont need to be an expert to know that cafe rios are just wrong

Not a fan of the Sweet Pork, but love the Shredded chicken salad.

I get the shredded chicken tostada and it’s pretty good

I like cafe rio but I’ve never really considered it Mexican food.

The lady responsible for the original recipes is 100% Mexican.

Well, the grilled chicken and grilled steak are a little too pricey for me.

Cafe Rio may not be authentic Mexican food but that's not

I like chipotle more. I live in the east and Mexican food tends to suck

6/30/18 10:29am

Well, I've been to two different chipotle's and had a bad experience at both

Chipotle is sooooo far from what Mexican food should taste like it's not even

coltonbyu

6/30/18 10:42am

Is cafe Rio's sugar pork closer?

6/30/18 10:44am

The terrible corn and and nasty other crap they put on ruins Chipotle

coltonbyu

6/30/18 10:50am

So is my wife's family and they much prefer Chipotle. And her grandma is a chef.

molodyets

6/30/18 10:56am

You are the one claiming one tastes more authentic, which neither does.

coltonbyu

6/30/18 12:39pm

Where did I claim that? I didn't say either was authentic.

molodyets

6/30/18 12:42pm

What do you take from the story that Chipotle is closing 65 stores and reworking

ManicBlue

6/30/18 5:38pm

Who cares if Chipotle or Cafe Rio are authentic Mexican?

garyfan

6/30/18 11:08am

I agree. Never understood that criticism of Cafe Rio.

BYUtka

6/30/18 11:14am

I generally agree. When I put what mexican food should taste like I meant

6/30/18 11:28am

Chipotle just seems to have better, fresher ingredients.

Ours in Olney, MD serves enchiladas with corn tortillas . . .

Cafe Rio is yucky...

My wife and I went to Cafe Rio twice . . .

Overpriced at $8/meal? What do you consider priced right?

ManicBlue

7/1/18 12:19am

I guess when the food sucks, any price is overpriced.

Y-Zag

7/1/18 7:41am

That comment pretty much seals it. Won't be taking any food advice from you ...

ManicBlue

7/1/18 2:51pm

That's my point. Even Taco Bell is better. and it's not much

Y-Zag

7/1/18 3:45pm

That's my point. Taco Bell isn't better than anything. I'm not sure they serve

ManicBlue

I like Cafe Rio, not great food, but good food. Used to be better, it has gone down hill. But...it is NOT Mexican food.

Romex

7/1/18 7:22am

That's still pretty iffy if you are actually looking for Mexican food

coltonbyu

7/1/18 9:02am

The actual best places are the Mexican markets.

Romex

7/1/18 5:25pm

Yup. Good Mexican American food here, just not authentic.

coltonbyu

7/1/18 6:29pm

Then again, I'm not a fan of the "authentic" places in CA or NM either.

coltonbyu

7/1/18 6:33pm

Cafe Rio is Americanized Mexican food.

Adrielle

The linked post said, best "best Mexican food" in Utah county

If it isn’t “Mexican” what broad classification would you give it? Italian? Gree
