Cafe Rio Mexican Grill finally came to Spokane! Thanks to someone posting on Facebook, I was able to snag a coupon for a pre-opening event held this evening. The coupon entitled 2 people to order free food. Since the 3 of us went, we just ordered two meals - the 2 taco plate and the enchilada style burrito plate, plus an order of Tres Leches cake. Come to find out when we handed her the coupon, we could have ordered anything (and everything) on the menu - it was basically free food to those in the restaurant. But sharing the two meals was plenty of food, since they came with rice and beans and drinks. The restaurant was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, so running into a ton of friends from church was not a surprise! Every time someone headed to Utah, they always had to get their Cafe Rio "fix". It was fun to see the Cleavers, Nelsons, Conrads, and Whalens. Thankfully we got there pretty early - - the line snaked outside the door and into the parking lot!!
