Pleasantly surprised with my grub hub order from cafe rio! Order was right, food was warm, and delivery was on time. Love their quesadilla and queso!! ????
There are many options as you can build the items yourself, choosing from burritos, tacos, enchiladas, salads, tostadas, quesadillas, and nachos. In addition to rice, beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, guacamole, and queso, there are four levels of sauce heat: mild, medium, hot, even hotter. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options as you build the items yourself.
So I just got to enjoy a beef quesadilla, and it's the best one that I've ever received from the Irvine location. Thank you for a wonderful meal.
