What Our Clients Say
"Cafe Rio catered our company holiday party for 120 people and everything was absolutely perfect. The taco bar was a massive hit — guests were going back for thirds!"
"We used the Grande package for our daughter's quinceañera and the food was incredible. Fresh, authentic, and the staff was so professional and attentive throughout the evening."
"The Presidio package for our 300-person wedding reception was worth every penny. The live tortilla station was a showstopper and the coordinator kept everything running smoothly."
