Review by Tito Berge

Cafe Rio is a hidden gem for anyone craving fresh Mexican flavors! 🌮 I recently tried their BBQ Chicken Salad, and it was enormous - filled to the brim with veggies and topped with a generous scoop of dressing.

The setting is casual and trendy, perfect for a quick meal. I appreciated the self-serve drink station, which is becoming increasingly rare.

Although my salad dressing wasn’t to my taste, I was encouraged by fellow diners who raved about the pork - next on my list! Cleanliness seemed maintained, and despite a bit of a wait, the service was efficient and friendly.

Can't wait to return for that pork...! 🌟
