Cafe Rio is so much better than Costa Vida. I don’t know how CV stays in busines

boorad

think the exact opposite...cafe rio has been hardly tolerable

jwf

This, this, a thousand times this

Solomon Levi

Agreed

Rio used to be amazing. Now I don’t go there if I have a choice. Costa Vida is much better these days.

Cafe Rio is dirty and disorganized. In addition to that, they don't have refried beans, and their steak is inferior.

kccougar

CV steak is not even close to Cafe Rio's. Thats all that Cafe Rio has going for

Their chicken is reconstituted bouncy balls from those 25 cent machines

Lip Gallagher

12/10/18 4:37pm

I think the exact opposite...

CoachSpeak

12/10/18 4:31pm

Bajio was my favorite as well.

lilpenny

12/10/18 4:47pm

Im the opposite of your opposite, Cafe rio>Costa Vida>Bajio's

doubled1981

12/10/18 4:55pm

Costa Vida is much better than Cafe Rio in all my experiences

volleyjiver

12/10/18 4:32pm

This may have been true 5 years ago, but Cafe Rio's quality has gone downhill

MasterLump

12/10/18 4:32pm

Probably cause CV is honestly way better value.

Devouring1

12/10/18 4:32pm

Way cheaper? I don't think that is accurate. Could be wrong, I suppose

fattycoug

12/10/18 4:50pm

Sorry, I get a discount for being a student.

Devouring1

12/11/18 11:36am

Yeah that’s not true

boorad

12/10/18 8:58pm

I find that it varies. Some CV are better than CR and vice versa

CocaColaRecovery

12/10/18 4:33pm

I've always been happy with the CR in Draper

Twin Roots

12/10/18 4:37pm

i only order the steak salad. it's better at CV

Do you get dressing? I like CR’s house dressing better than CV.

rainorsnow

12/10/18 4:47pm

yes. i've never sampled size by side

BlueFrog

12/10/18 4:57pm

Pork nachos.

SandYFan

12/10/18 4:36pm

The one thing Costa Vida has on Cafe Rio.

Eddie

12/10/18 4:59pm

Raspberry Chipotle Nachos from CV is one of my favorite meals.

BYUALWAYSNUM1

12/10/18 5:05pm

This is absolutely correct.

idacoug

12/10/18 4:38pm

They seem the exact same to me.

crack

12/10/18 4:41pm

I agree. Costa Vida is about $2 less per meal.

JAGA97

12/10/18 4:47pm

Not even close

2FarGone

12/10/18 4:47pm

The Cafe Rio management model is causing their locations to become dirty

slowhiteguy

12/10/18 4:49pm

They might be cleaner, but the food is definitely not better. It's cheaper

Hypnotoad

12/10/18 4:51pm

Who? All the Rio's I've been to recently are complete garbage. Terrible employee

Dillinger

12/10/18 4:53pm

Rio has really dropped off on quality and such. Too bad.

pink22

12/10/18 4:56pm

Clean and not tasty. Their sauces make me want to hurl.

Hypnotoad

12/10/18 5:02pm

Taste almost identical to me. But I have a very refined palate

Dillinger

12/10/18 5:03pm

Are you calling me a yokel?

Hypnotoad

12/10/18 5:13pm

The CV we went to last night was horrible. They burned the tortillas, had to say

Malathion

12/10/18 5:10pm

The Rio in Farmington and Layton are garbage. Dirty, cold food and gross meat.

slowhiteguy

12/10/18 4:56pm

Sad but true.

Gerald-DeGroot

12/10/18 5:16pm

I have never eaten at either one.

CopperLix

RE: I have never eaten at either one.

JAGA97

12/10/18 4:58pm

Depends on what I'm getting

Chasicle

12/10/18 4:51pm

You are correct. Even though Cafe Rio has gone down hill. CV is bland.

pink22

12/10/18 4:55pm

I wish the Rio could have stuck with its QC since selling.

ebv

12/10/18 4:57pm

Both suck. RIO sucks more though. Why do people go to these places.

kotacoug

12/10/18 4:58pm

I live in Utah county. 98% of mexican sucks here for some reason.

Dillinger

12/10/18 5:02pm

Much better than a lot of the country. Mama Chus, Mi Ranchito, and many others

RUNBYU1

12/11/18 11:32am

I’d take Chipotle over either. Bajio was better as well back in the day

ataylor

12/10/18 5:00pm

Costa Vida needs to bring back their Chile Verde option

BradioHead

12/10/18 5:00pm

Pretty much the same.

JuicyJam

12/10/18 5:06pm

Moe’s Southwest Grill is better than either of those

AF Cougar

rainorsnow

12/10/18 5:16pm

They are both good and both different.

Gerald-DeGroot

Never seen such an even split of opinion between restaurants

El Paso Coug

Taco Bell beats all of them!

mwcoug

12/10/18 5:29pm

None are as good as Dona Mary on state in Orem

Solomon Levi

12/10/18 5:29pm

Is Dona your girlfriend? Weird for you to compare her to food.

kimdaddy35

12/10/18 5:41pm

You may have had a point back in the day, but now you are wrong. CV is better.

vegasnative

12/10/18 8:15pm

It's true, not even close. Disappointed by CV every time.

ArchbishopMitty

12/10/18 11:02pm

Nachos and some people really like syrup with their pork

CarolinaCoug

12/11/18 12:01pm

I’m fine with either honestly, but I love CR reward points

JOPE

12/11/18 8:10pm

Im opposite as well.
