Cafe Rio Famous 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
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
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
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

Alright, as a self-appointed Cafe Rio expert, I have a few things to say about my experience at this location.

The food is good and the price is affordable. It was the only place I found with havenero sauce in Colorado. That part is exceptional.

Just a bunch of incompetent high schoolers working here… they forgot all of the sides for my order while I could see them sitting on their phones through the drive through window… This is not the first time this has happened here, if I were you I’d take your business elsewhere

Can you tell what burrito I ordered from the photo? I ordered two enchilada style burritos today, one shredded pork and one carne asada. For nearly twice the price of Chipotle, there was less than half the amount of meat. Many bites had no meat at all. I ordered cheese on top for both, and neither came with it. Both the rice and beans taste like there is lots of sugar added to them.

Self-serve ordering, styrofoam water cups, $15 burritos. What else could you ask for? Oh yeah, I know, flavor, service, better pricing. They have taken cost cutting to another level with everything but the price to the customer. Food wasn’t terrible, but everything together is below satisfactory. I won’t be back.

I have always gone to the cafe rio in castle rock. I love that one and the food there is great! This location needs some work though… I thought it was strange no one was there to say hello or give any direction. I have been to Cafe Rio before and was confused because this set up was totally different. There should have been someone there to at least say hi. The 2 boys working there were extremely rude to me when I asked for a different salad dressing because I ordered the wrong one. I ordered the wrong one because there was no one there while I was putting in my order so I was not able to ask questions!!!! I hope this location doesn’t leave a bad taste in anyone’s mouth because the other cafe rio I have been to are great!

This place is terrible. Order the sweet Barbacoa smothered burrito get all the way home and there is no meat. Just rice and beans. The rice is hard and crunchy yet they cry for more than minimum wage? Don’t go here. Embarrassment for Highlands Ranch. Can’t even get an order correct. Waste of $30.

The food is great. I like it a lot, but be prepared to wait and wait for your food. It seems that you need to order ahead so when you arrive 20 minutes later you only have to wait 10 more minutes for your food.

Really disappointed in the amount of plastic wasted for dine in orders. We ordered two taco meals and every single component came individually wrapped. This also meant that the proteins were smaller. The picture attached is the waste from after our meal was done.
