Café at Rio
2323 W 14th St, Tempe, AZ
Crema's Take
“This Tempe spot punches way above its weight with genuinely good food at prices that feel almost too fair, all delivered by a staff so genuinely warm they'll make you feel like a regular on your first visit. Whether you're ducking in for a quick bite between meetings or settling in with your laptop for a work session, their commitment to local ingredients and vendors means you're actually eating well, not just eating fast. It's the kind of neighborhood café that somehow manages to be both efficient and welcoming—a rare combination that keeps people coming back.”

Good food at really good prices and a very friendly staff. What else could you possibly want? Really good place if you are working nearby to get something in a timely manner that's actually healthy.
Had a wonderful experience at Rio Salado Café! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially when I paid—they made me feel right at home. The team did an excellent job, and I have to give a special shoutout to the salad bar and the soup chef—their work was absolutely outstanding. Everything was fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. Highly recommend stopping by for a great meal and a warm atmosphere!
Great place to eat! Very convenient, great prices, serve great food from different cuisines, they use local ingredients, local vendors, and the staff is amazing. I highly recommend!
