Unofficial Mormon Night…at Cafe Rio

Cafe Rio Manhattan Beach
There is finally a Cafe Rio within reasonable driving distance from our place! Yay! It opened Wednesday. We went Friday. Unlike a Utah opening, there was no line out the door. Good sign the locals haven’t yet discovered its amazingness.
As soon as we walked in it was obvious that about 95% of the people eating in there were Mormon. If you are Mormon, you know what I’m talking about. If you’re not, trust me, you can just tell. Add to that all the shouts of “free meal” and you knew they hadn’t filled up a “frequent diner” card in less than 2 days. They were there for the same reason we were…
In addition to all the excitement, the food was delicious too….of course! That tortilla soup is so yummy! And Britton liked the strawberries that came with is quesadilla. He needed more or we were in for a meltdown. Mark liked his pork salad, who wouldn’t. It was totally worth driving down the 405 at 7 o’clock on a Friday night.
We had a fun family dinner at the best new restaurant in town and I don’t have to wait 6-9 months between cravings anymore. That just may be the best part.

YAY!!!! I’m so glad you don’t have to wait to have it any more, but it does make me sad there is one less reason for you to come up here.

My sister took me to cafe rio for the first time last month when I went to visit her in Utah and it was totally packed. Of course it was a Saturday at lunch time but you can tell it is a favorite. I didn’t realize they had them anywhere but Utah. I am going to have to check if there is one close to me. Thanks for the info.

It’s soooo good, huh? As far as I know, other than Utah, they’re only in Henderson (Vegas) Manhattan Beach, Ca and Lake Forest, CA. I hope they keep expanding so that everyone can partake of the goodness.
