Our Cafe Rio Copycat Recipes have been a huge hit, so we thought we would compile them ALL in one post! Our salad, beans, rice, soup, burritos and more!
Here they are! All our Cafe Rio Copycat Recipes all in one easy to find post! You will find quite a few Cafe Rio Copycat Recipes floating around out there! However, we are proud to be the home of the ORIGINAL Copycat Cafe Rio Recipes (If there is such a thing as an “original” copycat. I guess that’s kind of an oxymoron)! When I first posted the sweet pork recipe back in 2007 I couldn’t find a copycat recipe anywhere (at least one that looked somewhat accurate)! So, I created my own. Eventually we started coming up with more and more recipes until we got ourselves quite the collection.
These recipes are perfect for date nights at home, gatherings with family and friends, and really, for dinner any night! Your family will love all these tasty recipes and you will love how much money you will save by making it at home.
We have had some great feedback and very positive reviews on all the recipes! Check em’ out and then add your own comments after you try them! We love hearing from our readers! ENJOY!

There are three recipes I would love to see on here, since they are part of our favorite Cafe Rio dishes (perhaps I missed them though): Shredded Roast beef, green mild enchilada sauce, and the red hot sauce. Thanks for what is already here!

haha pretty much the 3 things we don’t have of Cafe Rio’s. I will see what I can do!

Do you know about how much the beans, dressing, and pork this will feed? I am planning on cooking this for a group of about 25 people.

It was mentioned on your site that you can buy a cookbook with all the Cafe Rio recipes. How do I go about ordering one rather than print each recipe out? Thanks, Shelly
Emily says
It’s on amazon, there is a link on the top right hand corner of the site.
Robyn says
I saw the guacamole recipe, you mentioned barbacoa. I love that place. Have you come up with their salsa verde and chips recipes?

We have a recipe for salsa verde but I’m not sure if its the same as Barbacoas…

Hi, I was hoping to make both the sweet pork and the cilantro rice tonight; however, it says that the links are not working! Have you moved these pages?

They should still be there.. if the links are broken try searching for them in the search box above. The recipes are for sure here on the site!

Yes, links still don’t seem to be working!

Krystal says
I am not seeing a link in the top right hand corner of your website here to order your Café Rio cookbook. Can you please help me out?
Erica says
The Cafe Rio recipes are a part of our current cookbook. There isn’t a separate one for Cafe Rio recipes. Hope this helps!
Lisa says
Oh my gosh! You guys saved me! I lived in Utah for a year, and I miss it so much! My favorite place to eat out was at Cafe Rio, but here in Denmark there is nothing that can compare! So I’m so happy, that now I can cook my favorite food here! Thanks a lot guys!
Echo says
Thanks Lisa! I think you will LOVE these recipes. They taste just like the food at Cafe Rio. They are some of the most popular recipes on our site. I’m glad you found us. Erica’s husband lived in Denmark for two years. He loves Danish food! Please share your Danish recipes with us! We have a few on our site, but would love more!
Kip says
What about their Fideo?
Echo says
Hi Kip, We haven’t tried duplicating the Cafe Rio Fideo yet – but we definitely need to! We’ll work on it!
Stacey Atchley says
I see the Cilantro lime vinaigarette recipe. Do you have one for their house dressing? It is more of a ranch type dressing?
Erica says
Sure do! https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/cafe-rio-cilantro-ranch-dressing/
