Last Friday was the Grand Opening of Cafe Rio Mexican Grill in Tustin.

Why am I so excited about this?  Read the reviews for yourself!

I was unable to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony, but was lucky to have one of our own, Aakash “Kash” Master, Seven Gables Agent and Chamber of Commerce member attend! I threw my camera at him as he was walking out the door and asked him to take lots of pictures and give me feedback about the food and the mood of the place. Thankfully he did!

I asked Kash what the atmosphere was like there and the word he used to describe it was “FESTIVE”.

I had to see for myself!

Take a look at their tasty and extensive menu:

I stopped in later that evening and there was a line out the door, which is as it should be!  People were smiling and it seemed as if everyone was really enjoying not just the ambiance, but the delicious food and each other’s company!

Kash had mentioned that Cafe Rio will be donating a certain percentage of it’s proceeds to local schools and there would be a Student and Teacher of the month voted for at every school!  I will stop in again and confirm or deny (or elaborate on this further) when they are not so busy….hmmm…that may not happen any time soon so now sounds like a good time for me to go there, taste their food, and if I’m lucky, slip in an actual interview!

Did you attend?  What did you think? Would you go back and most importantly, would you tell a friend?

I’d love to know!
