  • I don't hate Cafe Rio.

    I want it clear that I don't hate Cafe Rio. I think antipathy is a more accurate description of how I feel.

    I don't hate Cafe Rio either, but I think its popularity in Utah is pretty much an indictment of the pedestrian dining tastes of a good number of Utahns (mostly because they haven't had anything better).

      We were driving home from a holiday party last night and saw there is a Cafe Rio being built just up the road here in Denver! I'm stoked!!!!

        Today in EQ, the EQP reminded everyone that Cafe Rio in Lake Forest opens tomorrow.

        He is getting a group of people together to go over for lunch.

        I didn't raise my hand.

          Is Lake Forest near Redondo Beach? I heard there is one opening there soon. Maybe already open. You could have eaten there already!

            No. Lake Forest is in South County and Redondo is up in LA county....about an hour drive (or more with traffic).

            The Lake Forest location is probably about 10 minutes from my house, so I am going to surprise my wife tomorrow for dinner and show up at home with her favorite 2000 calorie meal...the Cafe Rio salad.

            I should take my camera because I have a feeling the place will be packed with people in BYU gear (Ute grads will be harder to spot, wearing Cafe Rio polos, aprons, and hair nets, of course).

              Sounds fun, like playing spot the Mormons at Disneyland. Which is like Where's Waldo for people with an IQ south of 70.

                  Speaking of which, when I was at D-land last week, I saw plenty of BYU-clad momos. I was not wearing any BYU gear and I was not with my wife. I walked past a guy sitting on a bench wearing a BYU t-shirt. I noticed it out of the corner of my eye, and then looked to see what he looked like. He saw me, and gave me this nod and a knowing glance. It was if he could sense my mormonness. It was strange...

                    I know this sounds bad but when we were there in the summer I could spot the Mo-Mos from a mile away, it was 100 degrees out and when I would see a lady not wearing a tank top I would look for the G-units. Diz is packed with LDS folk. I would say 8 out of 10 women there that were not wearing tank tops were wearing garments.

                              Compared to what's available in Pennsylvania, Cafe Rio is 5-star Mexican dining.
