Cafe Rio Abuse Problem


3 days in utah, 3 nights at cafe rio.


i crave the salad.
(which i can eat entirely on my own in one sitting)
i like the soup too.

after three days of eating the same thing at the same establishment i could probably stand for some variety, but cafe rio is too cheap and too good and still completely novel, so maybe i should just get something besides my usual.

what do you recommend?

I recommend more Cafe Rio. :) I did the same thing when I returned from my mission. I never get sick of Cafe Rio!! I'll think up some places we loved... but we also lived in Provo and were students with not too much variety. Ha ha!

My recommendation: Freschetta!

The only other alternatives that I can recommend are Macaroni Grill Yum and Neilsen's Custard Double Yum Yum. See you soon. 5 more sleeps.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I recommend eating there until you're so sick of it you can't stand the sight of the restaurant....then it will no longer be a problem! :)

ha! i just had homemade cafe rio... i think i was the only one at dinner who wasn't a BYU alum. so funny.

and i went to buca da beppo here in san fran, it is italian. not sure it is the same place as the reference above, but if so, it wasn't that great.

I MISS YOU!! come visit. i can promise you this: 1) good weather, 2) ME (of course), 3) the dish where we can go on dream hikes, 4) all the taquerias you could imagine... way beyond bocas- for sure... and 5) me, again!

Red Iguana in SLC!

It's Mexican food, but it is amazing.

I also like Cafe Trio.

My best,

Where oh where is my Mercedes?
I'm missing you. Give me a call or email with your new phone number if you get a chance? We need to discuss your honeymoon plans!

i just remembered one. best EVER. tin angel cafe in downtown slc. we went for lunch and i was in heaven. the amazing thing is IT IS NOT A CHAIN. i didn't know that non-chain restaurants existed in UT.

you just have to try one-world-cafe at least once.

it's downtown salt lake, all organic & also caters to vegan/vegetarian crowd but has some meat dishes too.

so delish! and the best part? you pay what you think the meal was worth. and if you're short a little cash, you can do dishes to take care of the tab.

their moto: everybody eats! i love it there.

i think it's on like 500 east & 100 south.
