PJ and B’s Rio Cafe

I just finished a delicious Greene Chili Beef Brisket Enchiladas. I am stuffed and extremely satisfied. This place gets TWO THUMBS UP. I had it with a Cappuccino - they make a great cup of coffee! The crew working this place are helpful, friendly and have great taste in music.

Food is amazing huge burritos, we go there at least every Thursday morning for company breakfast, staff is great with a personality I highly recommend it!!! One thing they have a red bell at the counter make to ring it and say Matt told me to I think it will be funny see how many we can get to do it!!

The staff was super nice and on top of things, so that was great. The food (Tacos and nachos) was mediocre though. Not really seasoned well. I think this place would be great in summer for quick food while hanging out at the river, but if you're stopping in Carlsbad for food only you could try a taco truck.

Hidden jewel of the Pecos: the food here is amazing, the service stellar, and the atmosphere comforting. Try it. You will not be disappointed.

Very easy to order menu and Very Viewable! Great atmosphere to eat and Very Affordable Thank You!

Great place for breakfast overlooking park and lake. French toast is AMAZING!

This is truly a hidden gem! My pulled pork sandwich was delicious! I asked for jalapeños with my sandwich (thinking they were going to be pickled) and to my surprise they were fresh cut-exactly how I like them!
Customer service was awesome! The girls asked if you needed any condiments and would get what you needed with a smile.
Please don’t be discouraged to go by if you read a bad review. You can’t please everyone and those people go to the extreme posting a bad review.
This place is well worth it!

The customer is always... WRONG in this little story of insubordination.

I Put off and put off making this post. Because I have a soft spot for small business....

I Tried and tried and tried, then I tried one more time again a year later....
Honestly, even changed my whole way of trying to communicate, with the people who have worked there, for the last 3 years... anything and everything! that can go wrong with your order! can and definitely! will here! Especially, if you have allergies and specifically request for something to not be added to your burrito, sandwich etc. ! Don't risk it!

They should have a NO SUBSTITUTIONS disclaimer on all of their menus, but they would still find a way to mess your order up! Even the Original menu items were messed up....

All while the older, lead cook, with the terrible attitude, shouts orders at his staff (who are all kids!), makes your food while he is not taking the servers, owners, and patrons seriously, then remaking your food because they can't read an ENTIRE ticket! NOW, you have to check it to make sure IT IS CORRECT, because NOW it's definitely smaller portion and poorly cooked since they rushed it.

So when you Leave angry and hungry while the owner is there the whole time... The staff doesn't take her seriously or respect her.... So there's no accountability and she doesn't care for business enough to fix ongoing problems!!.. you can think of this post.

0/4 wins for this place!
MEANING I went there 4 times and they made my order wrong EVERY time and that hindered me from becoming a Regular patron there...

The view isn't even worth the terrible service!

It's amazing they make ANY money for how many burritos they give away for free.

If you have nothing better to do you can waste your time here!

Or SAVE YOUR FRUSTRATIONS and GO TO EL JIMADOR!!! I went right there and they had no problem reading tickets and creating exactly what you want, it's right down the street and you could drive to the beach and get a better experience with better food who have passion for what they do.

Great food. A little pricey but worth it because the portions are big.

Great food great service they were quick clean place
