They're both $1 more to put on your entree. That's absolutely absurd to ask for people to pay $1 for a different type of meat.

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

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

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

So that suddenly makes you an expert on nachos??

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

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

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

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

Is cafe Rio's sugar pork closer?

IceCreamButt

6/30/18 10:44am

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

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

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.

6/30/18 12:42pm

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

ManicBlue

Who cares if Chipotle or Cafe Rio are authentic Mexican?

I agree. Never understood that criticism of Cafe Rio.

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

Chipotle just seems to have better, fresher ingredients.

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

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

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.

Cafe Rio is Americanized Mexican food.

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