Our friends took us to this restaurant over the weekend and I have never tasted anything so spectacular in my life. I was a long time Cafe Rio fan, but never again. The food was served fast, and hot! And was delicious. I had their chimichunga with burro sauce and lettuce and tomatoes on the side. The portion was enormous and I feel I got what I paid for and more. The service was friendly and the man and the register very funny! He even thanked us as we left (very sincerely) which I thought was wonderful and very personable. Such a nice relaxing place to eat. I didn't feel rushed to eat, even though the place was full. I also didn't feel overrun by other guests, the booth we sat in had a high back so I felt very intimate with my other guests. There were tv's on, but they were not blaring sound, something I despise at restaurants. I am sad that a location isn't in Utah County - PLEASE COME DOWN HERE SOON! I agree with another reviewer in that Pistol Pete's should take the place of the Cafe Rio's, it does need to be a household name!!! Thank you for your tasty food and wonderful restaurant, we had a wonderful time and plan to eat there every time we are in the Salt Lake Valley!
Pros: Good food, big portions for the price. Relaxing atmosphere. Kind service.
Cons: Not one in Utah County!!!!
