I get a steak salad at either place. They taste the same to me!

If you think the steak tastes anything alike I don't know what else to say.

Tortillas are thicker and greasier at Cafe Rio.

I think they are basically the same. Really like both.

They're not close to being the same except in style.

If I got a sweet pork burrito from both I don’t know if I could tell the difference.

They're very similar. Costa Vida used to be less stingy on meat, but I've just

By food snob hopefully you mean you're critical of both.

I don't like Costa Vida but it is an order of magnitude better than Cafe Rio

Tortillas and house dressing is better at Cafe Rio

Agree. I don't like the sweet pork though. Shredded chicken salad. Both are good

They taste the same to me. Yes, I've eaten at both places.... a lot.

The sweet pork is equally terrible at both places. Cafe Rio has better tortillas.

The sweet pork is the only reason I ever eat at either. The shrimp tacos at CV aren't close to as good as Bajios were.

I've tried so hard to turn down the sweetness by adding extra cheese, different sauces... It just tastes like a candied

Wait, turn down the sweetness? Why would I want to do that? I get a burrito with lots of pico and lettuce and tomatillo

True, but the slop they call enchilada style sucks. I hate it that way.

That's an objectively bad opinion.

Hear me out. Enchiladas are made with corn tortillas. They are slopping 10 gallons of sauce on your flour tortilla which
