"11142025 1824 Selindra is doing a fantastic job, the results speak for themselves. We’ve given this location enough chances to finally have Selindra save it, thank goodness. A Friday night too? I’ll take it and run"

"We went for Taco Tuesday Nov 19. We arrived a couple minutes before they officially opened but doors were already unlocked which I always appreciate. We ordered at the kiosk. I've used the app before so it was just as easy. We received our food quickly. Everything was made as ordered and everything was on point except the queso dip. A little bit grainy but the chips were warm and had adequate salt on them. All the tacos were delicious. We noticed that they now offer cheese on the tortillas as a choice... Delicious! Overall with the queso, I'd probably give him more like a 4.7 but always round up, right?"

"Decent prices, easy to order food on the touch screen order menu. Plenty of seating inside and out as well as parking. The food was hot and fresh with plenty of options to choose from when creating your meal. The fountain drinks were delicious as well. Clean restrooms and dining area. We will definitely be going back ."

"Went for a quick bite.. They switched to an all Kiosk ordering system. We were confused. However, Araceli came to rescue and walked us through the ordering process. She later checked on us, job well done, she was great. The food is constantly Cafe Rio. No complaints."

"Greeted when I came in. Ordered on the tablet. Place was clean. Food was ready quickly. Order was correct. Food was not just thrown together & soggy like another nearby location."

"I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered a pork burrito from here on a Thursday evening. It was very tasty (significantly better than a certain famous fast food chain where you can get burritos). There was a lot of space to sit inside and outside."

"A DRIVE-THRU??? Wow, it doesn't get better than this? Stay in your vehicle in the heat, with your Littles, if you can't get out physically.. Fantastic!! There was a Lil hiccup on my order because they didn't have the salsa or pico at first, but I'm patient.. We squared up and all was good. Great location and I will go again!!!"
