Rio Cafe

What a shame it closed

We were looking forward to returning here once we got back to Tucson for the winter. Read in the paper that it closed (just as the economy is picking up?). Too bad too, because it was a decent place for food that seemed home-cooked. We never felt an overly warm and welcoming vibe, but did enjoy the food.

We have found this wonderful foodie place to be a consistently good eat! Well chosen wines at a good price, unique and marvelously made Carribian menu offerings that are savory, generous and balanced in flavor. The restaurant is simple and not grandios, but the place is warm and pleasant.

Great drinks, fair prices, and a fairly typical neighborhood eatery and bar. Not fancy, and with limited seating, the but the real pleasure is in the staff that seem to really care. If you are in the area it is worth a stop.

American meets Latin American cuisine for a menu that encompasses an array of flavors. For dinner, there's the coconut-crusted pork chop, lechon (Puerto Rican roasted pork shoulder), plantano Cubano and seared shrimp with roasted corn salsa. Sunday brunch is equally varied, with a poblano scramble, fish tacos and stuffed French toast. If you have a timid dining companion, there's always the Rio...
