We absolutely LOVE this place:
They have some of the yummiest pork I've ever had. Mix that in a thick, handmade tortilla with rice, beans, cheese & sauce and I am in heaven!
Unfortunately, due to a lack of this
We haven't been able to enjoy the yummy goodness much lately.
What's a family to do without their favorite "fast" food???
FIND A RECIPE!
We've been using the recipe I found here for over 6 months now and it is wonderful. Not quite exactly like Cafe Rio, but close enough to satisfy our cravings.
The best part about eating our Cafe Rio at home is listening to James ask if we want "black or pinto beans?" as he puts together the burritos. It's a good thing everyone likes pinto because we don't ever heat up any black beans. :) He also is sure to yell out "Extra Meat" when he makes his and even occasionally "Free Meal." For those of you that haven't been blessed with a Cafe Rio meal ALL of the employees yell out both "free meal" and "extra meat" - it's a little crazy.
That little window makes it nearly impossible to get a good picture of someone in the kitchen after 4 pm! It might be time to invest in some curtains :)
James continues to crack us up by placing a little bit of meat on the outside of the burrito, just like the restraunt. He thinks he's so funny - and usually he is.Xander loves the meal and often has most of his food gone before everyone can get sat down.
He's a monster.
Elsha also enjoys the porky-goodness and devours hers as well.
I like it for so many reasons; the smiles my husband produces while assembling the burritos, the taste (of course) and the leftovers. There's usually enough left over for 2 meals that we put in the freezer for a quick easy meal later on (we double the recipe).
