Cafe Rio - Berkeley

I have been regularly in cafe rio since 2018/19 and am not disappointed. roy is a family man and he runs his business as such. it has been for over a decade of family-run and that warm definitiw is not something that I am in other coffee shops (starbucks etc.) when they are a coffee fanatic like me, the espresso dopio is a great access to caffeine and although the breakfast options are hot n filling, I tend to settle for the donuts selection; chocolate glazed or regularly glazed to go with my caffeine. Hopefully they can come by and support a great local business!

It has the same name and description as the chain restaurant cafe rio mexican grill. but it is not definitiw. I'm not sure why the description would be literally copied and maintained and something else. they serve hot dogs and sandwiches in a corner shop like square. not Mexican kitchen.

A veggie order burger, the pattie was dry and tasteless, like a piece of wood. I gave it back once to have heated up properly. a part of it was not yet to eat.

I bought a croissant breakfast sandwich there yesterday morning I said down to eat it when I discovered the mayonnaise that was on it was Sour I brought it to the man's attention who made it he insisted that the mayonnaise was good therefore I couldn't get my money back nor he did not accommodate me with something else so I just put the sandwich on the counter where he was standing turned around and left he probably sold that sandwiches somebody else I don't know how I'll never go back there again

I love this little place! The couple who own/run it are incredibly sweet (it feels like popping in to see my grandparents and they have a great variety of breakfast and lunch foods, drinks, and snacks. Perfect hole-in-the-wall to grab a bite on the way in or to take a lunch break. * Google's description is off, it is not Mexican food focused. I don't believe they make or sell tortillas, and most of the food is not self-serve
