Cafe Rio in Missoula

Great first experience at this restaurant. Good hearty food

Satisfying a hungry spot

I know things are rough but we sat for over 30 min waiting to order all the while the same kid tried to bring us other people's food 3 times. I also told him each time we still need to order. People who came after we did got to order. So disappointed.

This is the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. I went on taco Tuesday to get an inexpensive meal and ended up Paying $20 For two tacos and a cheese quesadilla. Why is a cheese quesadilla $9. It was not even that good. On top of that the restaurant was so loud you had to scream to place your order. I will never go there again and advice anyone against going there for sake of sanity.

Waited over an hour for my food, never got it. Gave up and went to Freddy's.

Although when I went last the line was nearly to the door, I was still able to get my food and be out the door in roughly 20 minutes. Even though the employees were clearly under quite a lot of stress, they were still friendly and the food was as good as always.

The spicy pork and steak tacos are great. The rice could be a little more flavorful, but The tacos make up for that.

Good and fresh like always. This location doesn't have the spicy pork. The "mango salsa" is more like a compote or chutney--cooked fruit instead of fresh that I was expecting, and too sweet. Shrimp tacos were good, would have been better without the breading. Love the fresh corn tortillas.

Great place very affordable family environment staff is super friendly awesome place to eat

Amazing salmon tacos!!! To die for!!! I love Cafe Rio 🌮🌮🌮

Always very impressed with the food and service, one of our favorite places to eat in Missoula!

Food not so hot; but the staff were great, Friendly and accommodating. They should all get a raise in pay.

The people were fantastic but the food was awful. I'm sitting here trying to eat this straight from the can food, debating whether to get my money back or not. I've never once had to do that at a restaurant but for the price of this food compared to the taste I'm sincerely upset!

This is a great spot for food. But when you order online you get about half as much rice and beans as you do if you wait in line. Y’all know you are doing this because it happens every time.

Rice was a bit undercooked but other than that it was great.

Awesome food, we go multiple times a week.

Love their food!! Always delicious, fast service!

Everyone is so gracious and the foods is spectacular

There was only one customer behind me. I appreciate they were trying to be fast, but I had questions about what the individual food items contained due to allergies (I can't have milk or butter) and they made me feel like I was slowing them down by asking if the rice had butter (it does). I told her I have never been here before. Then I had to go back in for the chips part of chips and salsa order. Is it so important to be fast that a customer cannot ask questions or receive what was ordered? Very poor customer service.

Great place for good mexican food

The food is always great but we have been there twice during the lock down and a young guy named Jackson ran all over the parking lot delivering food! What a great job. Thanks!

Taco Tuesday is the best here. I always get 2 chicken tacos with lettuce, Pico, black beans and rice. $6.23 with a large fountain soda (as of July 2019). Well worth the money. So good.

Great food. Fresh. Great customer service. Highly Recommended.

Seriously good Mexican food. You will not be disappointed.

High quality ingredients and great service. Simple menu with fast turn around time. Very clean restaurant.

My first time at this restaurant and I was super impressed. I love Chipotle but this place while similar in style had much better, fresher food in my opinion. The ambience was better and the staff were really upbeat and pleasant. Can't wait to try more of their food.

Good fast food that doesn't taste like feast food. My kids like to go because of the bright colors and they can watch their food being made in front of their faces. The green tomatillo ranch is by far my favorite, I can drizzle that over everything. Daily specials with shrimp on Saturdays.

The pork is too sweet, and way too greasy. Sweet pork should be reserved for BBQ and not Mexican pork dishes. Extremely off putting! The sweet overpowered the flavor of the whole meal. I will never order again. If you want authentic pork tacos...this is not the place.

Everything was just okay. The food was good, but nothing special. Stale chips, but good salsa. Service was very rushed, but they were friendly. Overall, just okay.

Great food! The service is usually very good. But since the lockdown, the curbside pick up is very terrible. I ordered online and waited an hour and the people who are supposed to deliver food go inside and come out with bags and go car to car, getting names. They haven't delivered anyone's food yet? (Unless the person is a door dash delivery person) In addition, I put the model and color of my car in the details. Why did they ask for it if they don't use it? Why is this system so inefficient? Everyone in the parking lot (a lot of people) is experiencing the same thing and I can see people cancelling orders from my car. A very frustrating experience with one of my favorite restaurants. I will probably not come back until curbside pickup is over. Food and usual service: 5 starsCurbside pickup: 1 starUpdate: The manager has reached out with an apology and I appreciate this business's true commitment to their customers.

So delicious. Really fast service. I love the food it is so flavorful and freshly made right before your eyes. The outdoor seating is quaint and indoor is a fun quirky vibe that blends well with the Missoula aesthetic of fun and warm.Their watermelon limeade is to do for too. YUM

Super friendly staff and excellent sweet pork barbacoa.

Placed an order at 6pm it is currently 8:54 pm and still no food. Not the first time either

I always love this place. Prices are fair and the food leaves me stuffed with goodness.

Always delicious. But, the COVID-19 has put the brakes on all of the bottled hot sauces. Oh, well.

Taco Tuesday pork tacos will change your life

Good food, built da you watch and choose ingredients.

I had to shout to have myself heard (which I can understand but still) The beans were good and the salad, too. Was not a fan of the enchiladas, they tasted too sweet for my liking, plus kind of soggy with water. But hey, to each their own.

Growing up in California I love authentic. Today I tried this place and was amazed how yummmmm it was. Spicy beef Burrito with habinero is so good. The sweet barbacoa wasn't my favorite it was very good but sweet isn't my thing! Highly recommend

Amazing food! Quick service! Tried the carne asada it was FABULOUS!!!

This place gets my extra star for price point, quickness + the taste is good. However when they're busy be prepared for them to run out of roasted chicken and their ice and homemade drinks. It has happened to me a lot. They have a good rewards program though and I get free food and discounts a lot.

This place is actually really good. It's like subway build your own meal, but the quality is way better! my opinion is the sauces are less spicy than they actually are, so go a little on the dangerous side.

Cafe Rio is good but this one has weak scoops. My girlfriend doesn't even want to come with me because Chipotle is better value, but hey, love that sauce. Drippin

Great location. Lots of parking. Clean restaurant. Fast service. The employees sing a song depending on what you order. They put orange slices on the kids ninos (don’t do that in Utah). Definitely recommend this place.

Pulled pork barbacoa was delicious!

Excellent food as always, no mask enforcement.

I have been here a handful of times and have never been let down. The food is always fresh and delicious. They have a large variety of hot sauces available which is important for me. The dining area is always clean. The staff are almost always friendly and accommodating. One of my favorite things there is the ice cold Horchata!!!

Amazingly good food!! They have horchata, great meals, many drink choices and some deserts! We went yesterday and the gentleman working the register was amazing! Super polite and love the singing! Great to watch the fresh tortillas be made too! Overall great place to eat! :)

Just okay. Took 20 minutes to serve 5 people ahead of me. Food was alright. Nothing super great.
