| - Finally there's a Cafe Rio near my place! Whenever my boyfriend and I get the craving we either have to drive to Chandler or Gilbert, which are both just a bit too far to go out for food, so we were extremely excited when we saw the banner for Cafe Rio go up near our corner.
Once opened, I finally went in to check it out. It was late at night, near closing, so I expected most of the food to be packed up and ready to close for the night. Although they had most of the items organized and semi packed up, it was easy for them to access things for last minute customers like myself. Which is great because I didn't have to wait long!
The employees are newer staffed so I was a bit more patient with them than normal. I told the server multiple times that I wanted everything on my salad except cilantro, and yet he still proceeded to ask me if I wanted X ingredient for each step of the way during his salad making process. It got a bit annoying that he asked me every single time he was moving onto a new ingredient, and I answered him each time "yes, everything but cilantro" but eventually I just gave up and responded yes. I figured he might be tired from working a long shift and just wasn't hearing me properly.
The Tempe location is smaller than the Chandler and Gilbert location. There is a smaller dining room, so I can imagine this place getting pretty packed during lunch and dinner hours. But luckily since it's near our apartment, I just see ourselves getting our meals to go!
