Earl Eats Sweet Pork Burrito with Daughter #1 at Cafe Rio - A Review

I must be living right! My oldest daughter asked me out of the blue, to go have lunch and SHE WANTED TO PAY! She loves the salads at Cafe Rio ...without lettuce. I love burritos, their specialty.

Their sweet pork is my favorite. I order mine with with double beans (pinto) rather than beans & rice. 

There are a couple of things I like about Cafe Rio. 
1) All of their food is prepared fresh, including their handmade tortillas which are cooked on a traditional smooth, flat griddle called a COMAL, typically used in Mexico. 
2) They are a company that started in a small Southern Utah town, that has grown to over 100 restaurants, so even though they are big, they are local too!
3) Their food is very good! It is the kind that when you want it, there really isn't any substitute.

Cafe Rio's portions are very large and a single burrito will feed two, but we wanted separate things so we ate well! One thing - we were there at lunch hour and it took a long time to get our food, but that just tells me not to go during lunch!!

By the numbers:
Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Price: 💲💲💲💲(on the pricey side $20 for 2)
Service: ⭐(just because it was slow)
If you have never eaten at Cafe Rio, you should. If you don't have one nearby, you probably will soon...they are expanding fast!

  1. Technically we were here 15-20 min early...so really the early bird catches the food right off the prep line. Ok now I want Cafe Rio...
