Cafe Rio Mexican Grill - West Hills

I always appreciate the arrival of new restaurants in town, but I found the food to be pretty average. My low star rating primarily reflects my experience with the staff and the service. When I informed them that it was my first visit and asked for an explanation of the setup and how everything worked, the different employees I interacted with appeared irritated by my questions. The cilantro rice in the burrito I ordered was somewhat dry, although the shredded chicken was quite tasty. They do offer a soda machine, as well as horchata (which I found a bit too sweet) and mint lemonade.

Enjoy delicious Mexican cuisine at excellent prices! The portions are generous, the plates are large, and the food is incredibly fresh. The salsa and salad are particularly tasty. The staff is super friendly, making your experience even better. This place is definitely worth a visit!

I placed an online order for Taco Tuesday, and my food was ready right on time when I arrived. I decided to try three tacos, each priced at $2.50: one chicken, one pork, and one beef. I requested salsa on the side, along with some limes and cilantro. When I unwrapped the chicken taco, I saw only chicken and the nicely grilled flour tortilla—nothing else. These three seemingly simple tacos turned out to be some of the most delicious tacos I’ve ever had. Each one was packed with flavorful meat and surprisingly scrumptious!

My mother and I just had lunch at this place. The lady serving was extra accommodating, compiling the ingredients of our choice as though a special order and quite fresh too. I had the salad and my mother had the tortilla. Delicious!

Besides the sweet pork, incredibly tasty, I usually order take-out, and everything is prepared, and packaged so nicely. They allow you to get your crispy tortilla strips, salsa, guac, and cheese for chicken soup, on the side, which really enhances the meal, no melted cheese glop in the bottom of the soup, or soggy strips. The soup comes with a tiny tortilla, and you can easily make a little side taco.
