The Cafe Rio franchise has gone down hill fast. We only go to the Costa Vida now.
No lettuce, minimal Pico,, the sauces are bland and the sweet pork is usually soaking in too much syrup.
There are no Bajio or Chipotle restaurants nearby.

Bajio has the best rice and sauces, cafe Rio has the best meat and tortillas

Their Queso might be the best. I think it beats Cafe Rio and Chipotle at least.

That's the one thing I miss about Bajio. If I ever go to the one in Provo, that's definitely what I'd get.

I’m a chipotle person but the qdoba by my house is usually busy.

Qdoba is good. A bit expensive and hard to find in Utah.

I liked Qdoba but it didn’t even last a year in St. George. Location sucked.

Costa Vida's superior horchata gives them the edge...and their tomatillo mild sauce.

Their raspberry sauce is also great. And having the option of refried beans.
