    Café Rio, a fast casual Mexican restaurant with 163 locations, launched a new menu lineup of bowls in March. The new bowls are accompanied by eight new ingredients.

     “Our Build Your Own Bowl (BYOB) begins with a base of cilantro lime rice, black or pinto beans, made from scratch enchilada sauces, hand shredded cheese, and your selection of our signature proteins, alongside our new ingredients and toppings to create a bowl that's distinctly yours,” says the promo for the new bowls.

     The eight new ingredients the restaurant launched are grilled fajita veggies, elotes, avocado corn salsa, salsa roja, roasted seasonal vegetables, chipotle ranch dressing, pollo asado and chile lime tortilla strips.

     Customers can opt for the BYOB option, or choose from four “chef curated” bowls that are available only through the app or online:

  • First Timers Bowl: Options of Sweet Pork Barbacoa or Pollo Asado atop cilantro-lime rice, black beans, roasted tomatillo sauce (mild), pico de gallo, cheddar and jack shredded cheese, cotija cheese, chile lime tortilla strips, cilantro, lime wedge, and creamy tomatillo dressing.
