★★★☆☆ 3.0 Heather Ramirez · Oct 2025

Not my favorite but not horrible. This was our first time. We got a burrito and an enchilada. I loved that the tortillas were warm and their guac was really good! The service was SUPER slow even though they weren't busy - not friendly but not rude - she put the food on the tray so it's a win. The food was... Eh. The meat was really sweet (which was weird) and the rice was under cooked. The atmosphere is good - the dining area was clean and the music isn't ridiculously loud. Over all, just not somewhere I want to spend another $41.49 at. (and they had the longest receipt I've ever seen for our simple orders... Lol)

Ordered catering for my wife's Bday party. Haley was amazing. The store had everything ready and packed, she explained anything that needed to be, packaged neat and tidy, friendly and offered the most fabulous customer service with a smile in the world. This is my 2nd go round with Cafe Rio but the other was a different location and this was night and day and hands down the best order and pick up bar none. That staff needs a raise because they were on top of everything, boxing, bags, utensils, I didn't miss a single thing and everyone loved the food and took home leftovers for tomorrow. We've always loved this place, but this service made it even better, and I didnt even know that was possible. Thanks Moreno Valley store near Day Street : )

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Craig D · Nov 2024

This was someone else's suggestion. It says they close at 1030. We were there at 9:25. They were already breaking down everything. The portions were minuscule, tiny, snack size. This guy was scraping the bottom of the containers like he was really doing something. I made a few comments, is that it. Not expecting to get things piled on, but a decent portion. They have a self-serve beverage station. Good selection of hot sauces by the condiment section. You really don't need much. Because you will not get much food to put it on. Public restrooms are available. Indoor seating along with an outdoor patio area. There is a drive-thru. Not sure what they would give you there. Parking lot is tight. Handicap parking is not close to the main entrance. We ended up purchasing something else on the w

★★★★★ 5.0 Derek O · Jul 2024

This is a pretty solid Café Rio location. I would imagine it gets pretty busy, but it was totally dead when I visited. I feel like Chipotle is the better version of Café Rio, but I was given a gift credit for here. I was surprised at how good the guacamole was, but the grilled chicken was extremely dry. The staff was very friendly, and made me feel welcome. I very much appreciated that. Great service goes a long way to making a return visit. Thank you Moreno Valley Café Rio! I will definitely be returning! Four stars, solely because the food just isn’t amazing.
