Food Review - Cafe Rio Mexican Grill
Well, we had been wanting to visit Cafe Rio for a while now, since we had heard how good it was.
On a Saturday of course, it was really crowded. The first thing I noticed while we were being pushed ahead in a 'cafeteria style' ordering line was that they had made their own flour tortillas. BTW, I did not like the ordering aspect at all, I felt rushed and unsure of what I was purchasing. I had ordered a grilled steak and chicken taco with pinto beans and rice. Also, every couple of minutes the staff cooking behind the glass would yell something out loud and I am still trying to figure out what that is. I also noticed the place had a lot of awards from various places hanging on their wall.
We finally got our food and was out.
When we got home and sat down to eat, I noticed that they had put a TON of lettuce on my tacos. Eh, I removed a lot of it but I am not a huge fan of lettuce - especially shredded lettuce.
I notice with a lot of these taco places that all the food has no flavor and all tastes the same. That is how it was for me. I did like the pinto beans though, they had a good flavor to them. My partner had got the cheesy enchiladas and they tasted the same to me.
Similar to my first review, Mexican food trying to escape being authentic.

Mexican food in Utah? Has hell frozen over? I remember being in Utah and the idea of a good salad in a restaurant was head lettuce and Thousand Island dressing...
Wow...things have changed!
