Rio Dulce
109 Houston St, Fort Worth, TX
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Fort Worth, this espresso-focused café crafts thoughtfully pulled shots and creative specialty drinks that draw consistent praise, with regulars raving about their perfectly textured lattes served in proper ceramic and their addictive breakfast tacos. The space strikes that rare balance of being simultaneously cozy and sophisticated—ideal for lingering over a single cup or catching up with a friend—though service can be inconsistent depending on when you visit. If you're serious about espresso quality and want to settle into a genuinely lovely room for a while, this is worth seeking out.”

I don’t do too many ratings on places, but this place was amazing. I had a great hot latte in a ceramic mug. Great service, with a smile, and a great setting! this will definitely be a place to stop for me when I’m in town.
We had a very disappointing experience at this coffee shop. We were excited to try a new place, but unfortunately our food order was completely forgotten. After waiting 20 minutes with my toddler, I asked about our order and was told they were very busy and that it would be ready soon. We waited an additional 10 minutes and still received nothing. In the end, they offered a refund, but the lack of communication and follow-through made this a frustrating experience. Poor customer service overall.
I used to come here all the time when it was called Vaquero and I worked nearby. I loved the coffee but honestly found the staff somewhat snooty so never really came back when I stopped working in the area. I haven’t had the horchata latte in awhile so I decided to stop while I was in the area. The staff was SO FRIENDLY and kind and of course the coffee was just as amazing as I remembered. I will make it a habit to stop by more often!
Love this place. It’s probably one of the best local coffee shops in Fort Worth. Cute comfy atmosphere. Coffee is delicious. Their breakfast tacos are to die for and the banana muffin is my favorite.
I visited twice as the premium espresso had a really nice flavor both times. We also ordered a latte and it was really good. The atmosphere was very nice and the baristas were quite friendly.
