Problem: First time to Container Park. Walked around and decided to try this place. The inside is tight quarters but there's a nice outdoor patio. Staff was friendly. Great chips and salsa. Had the three taco combo and a Dos Equis on tap. Carne Asada, Chicken Mole and Pescado (fish.) Tortilla was soft but held together nicely and the meat and fish were a generous portion, well seasoned and tender. Look forward to going again soon.

Problem: Oh Rio! You are delicious. I really enjoy burritos, quesadillas, salads with tortilla strips, and yada yada. I could spend forever telling you the food is delicious. I know this place is a little pricey, burrito + drink =9.99, but their portions are monstrous. I cannot pick up my burrito and eat it like your suppose to. Nor would I even want to sit next to someone who tries to eat the whole burrito from here without cutting it up in pieces. They give a good amount of food for the price they charge I think. Their process of taking your order too is pretty efficient. When I first came here when they opened, everyone was excited to be there and they answered all my questions about "Whats that?", "Whats this?, etc. They were patient and the staff is usually still excited to be there. During lunch time I would never go, unless your dead serious about having Cafe Rio right then and there. Only because everyone and their mom is there at noon. I usually go around 2pm and get out in 5-10min. You can sit outside and in, and a massive favorite of mine is their ice. They have Sonic style baby cubed ice and I love that! Its my favorite kind of ice! :) The one bad thing and it could totally be just me, but their enchiladas kind of suck to me. I have had better. But their quesadillas are my favorite so far.

Problem: I was very pleasantly surprised as I walked in. It was a hot, bright sunny summer afternoon and what a nice contrast was provided. This place was dark and cool (my wife said she was freezing, but she always is) and it reminded me of a 100 year old bar in San Francisco. Think dark wood, red velvet drapes, chandeliers and upholstered furniture. The menu is small but inspired. The portions are small but the prices very reasonable. The drinks were quite creative with exotic ingredients, but at about $12 each, they should be something special. Why just 2 stars?? The service was just insanely slow. EVERYTHING took FOR-EV-ER. When we were seated, another couple was nearby. They said, "get comfortable, you will be here for a really long time" We ordered 2 drinks and 2 simple appetizers. My drink took about 15 minutes. My wife's drink followed about 10 minutes later. The 2 sliders and a tiny flatbread took close to an hour from when we ordered. We ordered another round of drinks about one hour into our stay. Meanwhile, the other couple was waiting and waiting and waiting to pay. They had been there over 2 hours but did not want to be, that's just how long it took. Finally, they went and got a menu, calculated their own bill, added the estimated tax and just left a pile of cash asking us to explain it in the unlikely event the server ever returned. She came around and after waiting 45 minutes for the second drinks that never came, I just handed her my cash and said "I'm leaving". We were there over 2 hours and half of our stuff never even arrived. That is the thing I can stand the least: leaving a restaurant feeling angry at the waste of your time, the contempt shown for your enjoyment and wondering why a night of your life was wasted hoping for some server to grace you with their glance. We went home, warmed up some leftovers and made our own drinks.
