Famous Cafe Rio Fan Favorites
Enchilada Style Burrito
Say hello to the enchilada-style Burrito. If you didn’t bring a knife and fork, that’s ok. We’ve got one for you. You’ll need it. A fresh, homemade tortilla is packed full with black or pinto beans, cilantro-lime rice, and your choice of protein. Then, we smother it with cheese and one of our signature sauces and bake it to perfection. Your life will never be the same! #TheObsessionIsReal #CafeRio
Sweet Pork Barbacoa
Welcome to the Home of the Original Sweet Pork Barbacoa! It’s quite possible our Sweet Pork could be outlawed for being too addictive. This delightful goodness is slow-simmered for hours in our secret spices until ready to tempt your taste buds. Make sure to stop by and try out this signature taste that made us famous! #TheObsessionIsReal #CafeRio
Creamy Tomatillo Dressing
It’s been said that our Creamy Tomatillo Dressing should be its own food group. Sure it’s great on our salads, but people love them on our tacos, quesadillas, burritos, chips, and even by the spoonful. Our Creamy Tomatillo is made from tomatillos, jalapenos, salsa fresca, cilantro, and a blend of flavor-packed spices. #TheObsessionIsReal #CafeRio
Chips & Queso
We know. Hot melted cheese is totally awesome. But our queso is made even more awesome by our mix of Mexican peppers and secret spices. Better get extra chips! #TheObsessionIsReal #CafeRio
Shredded Chicken Salad
Dive into this life-changing bowl of deliciousness! A fresh, hot-off-the-comal tortilla, black or pinto beans, cilantro-lime rice, and our shredded chicken are all nestled in a bowl of freshly chopped romaine, pico de gallo, guacamole and topped with our creamy tomatillo dressing or cilantro lime vinaigrette. #TheObsessionIsReal #CafeRio

Cafe Rio is the best! I love the employees expcially here at the Germantown location! The food is fresh, warm, and very flavorful! I get a lot of food for what I pay for and I always leave stuffed!

This place is so good but they just really cannot get it together with their delivery orders. I have ordered from them several times from postmates over the last few years. Every single time I request no cheese on the tortilla and no cheese on top. There are literally options to not have those two ingredients. Every single time I have both cheese on top or cheese on a tortilla. This time I got cheese on top. I also requested double rice and no beans. I got a normal amount of rice and I got beans.

This is Mexican fast food at its finest! It didn’t taste like fast food. We all got the salads. All were made with handmade and warmed tortillas in the base. Mine was the vegetarian with bean. The others got the shredded beef. I ordered both Pinto and black beans. The lettuce was excellent, fresh, crispy, perfectly chopped romaine. We all had the works, including rice, sour cream, guacamole, cheese, Pico de Gallo, more, etc. The dressings were a creamy tomato or creamy Verde. They let us order both. Both were SO GOOD. we had to ask for salsa. None if it was extra. The shredded beef eaters said theirs was slightly too salty, but both were impressed with the quality of the beef. It was lean and tasty, not fatty or greasy.

Probably the worst Tex-mex I’ve ever had. Enchiladas taste flat, sauce is too thick and has no taste. Tortillas too doughy and thick, too much flour! I ate barely one and had to throw out the rest. Awful

Amazing food every time we come. It’s my family’s favorite place to eat. Everytime we find ourselves in MD this is a must go to spot for lunch.

Great food and a friendly staff. The tables when we were there could have used a good scrub down. It’s hard to tell how dirty they are because of the splattered paint finish they have.

I must admit; it was nice, the place was clean including the bathrooms, and the food was fresh. The staff were also helpful as well as kind to both my Beautiful wife and myself. We had gone to Cafe Rio right after a doctors appointment with our phenomenal acupuncturist Dr. Li. It made for a perfect couples evening of acupuncture and massage and then dinner on a more than average warm January night. My lovely wife loves Cafe Rio to the point of thinking about it enough to go to the restaurant at least once every couple of months because she says how much she loves the bread used in the dishes at Cafe Rio. I had the chili beef Tacos and she enjoyed the steak salad. My Wonderful wife also enjoyed a cinnamon flavored drink provided at Cafe Rio and I must admit; the cinnamon flavored beverage was nice. In conclusion; yes we Will definitely be back .
