  • Cafe Rio

Cafe Rio and Costa Vida are literally the same thing. They both originated in Utah and Cafe Rio actually sued Costa Vida for copying their concept entirely. That said I think Cafe Rio barely gets the edge here. None of this is my favorite food by any stretch. I'd rather just go to Rancheritos or Betos. Chipotle is literally hot vomit. No thanks.

I have a love hate relationship with Cafe Rio. I really only like their food when smothered with their salsa fresca. I've never found a go-to option at Costa Vida and they are never as busy so their food has never seemed as fresh. I think both of them have gotten worse recently as they seem like they are trying to copy Chipotle more. Chipotle is trash IMHO. I've only had it a few times but it has been disappointing every time. I thought maybe I just wasn't ordering right, but getting good food shouldn't be a challenge. I live close to Jordan Landing in West Jordan and all three are there, when I get one of them it is Cafe Rio even though like I said I have a love hate relationship and I hate dealing with them.

I agree about the first part (they are the same)

Interesting. I have one near me and literally have never been and I have no idea why I refuse to go there.
Might be the next restaurant I go to now.

Back when we lived in California it was our go to spot. They unfortunately don't have them in Indy. We were in Utah last week and noticed that they have them now, so that's probably why it's on my mind.
