    Burrito with dog manure

    the picture just explains itself, i mean what animal took a dump in my burrito ? i asked for queso and they didn't put it in the burrito rather they asked me if i wanted it cooked with the queso mind you what it looks like with the queso in cooked. horrible customer service, i dont know if they had shift covers for Sunday but these workers were not in the mood. Nevertheless, the store has poor views already so i see why it performed the way it did.

    Salad without lettuce?

    Ummm this is the second my husband has gone in to get us food. Don't expect anyone to greet you or even look at you, they will just be on their phones and glance at you until they are done sending a text....my husband stood there for a solid 3 minutes before someone said "can I help you" he ordered me a salad, and he ordered a burrito and why it took so long certainly doesn't make sense to me, but there was no rush so that isn't something I'll complain about, my husband had better customer service AS THE CUSTOMER, like why they were rude to him beats me. After my long 14 hour shift I was STARVING! So he comes home and there was no lettuce on my SALAD! See pic below! Weird service and not very friendly which is just sad because I love cafe rio food, but I'll stick to the location near my work. Whoever owns this franchise needs to watch out because this place will soon not have anyone coming in ‍

    The rest of my bowl and the two slivers of plastic
    Ashley E.

    I ordered a bowl and while eating my bowl I found two pieces of shredded plastic that resembles floss. I wasn't even halfway through. I'm disgusted and will not be going back I have attempted to contact for a refund but no answer. Submitted to customer service so we will see what they say.

    Do better

    The wait time is so crazy. I door dash and wait at least 10 minutes for every order when it's marked ready.

    Confused by the bad reviews! The salads here are so fresh and delicious! Plus free cheese quesadillas for your little ones. Can't beat it!

    Excellent food ! The owners were humble, kind and generous…read moreI enjoyed the environment colors. The gray overtones gave it a relaxing feeling

    We've been here dozens of times, always good, but not last night…read more I ordered the Carnitas with Mole, I've had the regular carnitas many times so I figured adding mole would just make them better. What I got was a lump of overcooked, dry, unsliced, unseasoned pork roast with the mole poured over at the table. I spent the first five minutes just trying ti cut and tear the pork baseball apart and stirring it in the mole. I kept picturing Chef Ramsey taking a bite, spitting it back on the plate and flagging down the waiter,. "This is disgusting!" You know meat is dry when you must drink something because it keeps getting stuck on the way down! What I should have received was seasoned carnitas that spent at least some time with the sauce in the pan. I had to stop it was so bad! If it hadn't bern Valentines Day weekend, and if we hadn't already waited an hour to eat because it was busy, I'd have asked the waiter for something else. When the waiter came to check and asked, I was honest, he apologized and offered to have them prepare something else, but by this point I was just ready to leave. The Manager came, apologized and took my dinner off the bill, the right thing to do. We used to live in Kuna, but now it's at least an hour drive round trip, so I doubt we'll be back. Maybe if we are meeting friends/family in Kuna, but just us, I don't think so. Time to find good Mexican closer to downtown Boise!

They have the perfect amount of beef to cheese ratio and come with raw chopped onion, cilantro, and grilled onions on the side. The consome is a hefty portion and the hot sauce is something magical. The red sauce delivers a spice that makes your eye brows sweat and the flavor is truly to die for. All together, you'll experience a taco experience you could only hope for in your dreams. Now let's talk horchata. This 32 oz of perfection comes with a strawberry puree rim and just the right amount of sweet. Honestly, if you're wrestling with trying to figure out where to get food, just go. The staff is amazing and food is out fast. The inside is comfortable and fun. And you could go up to the menu, close your eyes, and point to anything. It's all amazing.
