"Really good Mexican food, if a little pricey. The sweet pork is excellent! Really enjoyable. The staff will sing to you if you're a first-timer, which is fun and silly. But prepared to set down $15 for a burrito and drink. I'll definitely be back, though."

When you 're in the mood for some sweet pulled pork, this is the place to go. They have a specific take on Mexican food that just hits the spot, just like In N Out, The Habit, or Five Guys have their take on burgers that satisfies a specific taste. Their location is always clean and staff is great. We 've been here many times and they 're really good with producing quality meals with fresh ingredients. They can recreate the same meal time after time with the same consistency each time you go. The only variance that I 've ever really seen is that the hot sauce sometimes has a little more or less kick than other times It 's always good though. If you 're going for the first time, these are two...

I don't enjoy leaving 1 star reviews but this place has gone way downhill. I know that the restaurant business is difficult and the cost of doing business has skyrocketed. But these places continue to sacrifice quality and I can't keep quiet about it. Let me start by saying I love this place and bad reviews are difficult for me but management needs to know. The staff is always great and I have no complaints there. But this weekend I got there before the lunch rush and got chicken nachos, a chicken burrito, and two regular sodas. It was $35.00.

I ordered on the app and it said ready by 6:10pm. I got there at 6:15 and they didn't even start the order yet and said it would be 10 min. 25 min after I still didn't get my order. I asked why so long and they were short handed on Taco Tuesday. So I got my order 50 min after ordering. I could have just walked in and got in line and had my meals in 10min. They obviously cater to the immediate need vs online orders. Should have a dedicated person for online. The food is good but not that good. I will never order on app again. They shouldn't have it if not prepared to hire for it.

These gals killed it!! They served us 15 minutes before closing. We are from out of state. I asked for a Smothered burrito. The lady said I 've never heard your request said like that ... (that 's how we ask for it in Utah where Cafe Rio originated 1997). Great food and service. They were totally ok with us staying after hours to chat and deal with our kiddos!!
