Since our Cafe Rio Recipes have been such a big hit around the internet and Pinterest, we thought we would do all of you a favor and compile them. So here they are – ALL in one easy-to-find post!
Nowadays there are 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!

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.
I cannot access any of these recipes. I keep getting error messages. Thanks for any help getting them back on the web!
Is it working now?
Recipe #s 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, & 11 don’t work. Hope they work soon!
Ummm. YIKES! I will get on that! Thanks for catching that. I don’t know what happened.
It’s still not working 🙁 i’ve used these recipes a number of times and never had a problem, now I cant access them! These are the only cafe rio recipes that are actually good!
Ok I will work on these today and try to get them working– thanks for letting us know!
I make these recipes all the time…Everyone loves them..so happy you made them available to us.
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
It’s on amazon, there is a link on the top right hand corner of the site.
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…
How can I purchase your cookbook???
In the top right-hand side of our site you will see an image of our book. You can click on that and link you to Amazon where you can buy it! Thanks for your interest!
How do I buy a book or two or three?
I don’t see an Amazon link.
Maybe send me the link to your site. I am seeing this on Face Book.
How about the Friday special of Fideo? Missed that since we moved away
Yes Fideo please! I pinned specifically for that recipe
Do you have a recipe for Cafe Rio’s queso dip?
not yet 🙂
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!
Sorry about that! I will try to get on those today and get them working again!
Yeah, they still aren’t working. :/
Hey Amber! I got them all fixed tonight! They are definitely all working now, try refreshing the page and they should all work! Thanks for letting us know about the broken links.
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?
The Cafe Rio recipes are a part of our current cookbook. There isn’t a separate one for Cafe Rio recipes. Hope this helps!
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!
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!
What about their Fideo?
Hi Kip, We haven’t tried duplicating the Cafe Rio Fideo yet – but we definitely need to! We’ll work on it!
I see the Cilantro lime vinaigarette recipe. Do you have one for their house dressing? It is more of a ranch type dressing?
Sure do! https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/cafe-rio-cilantro-ranch-dressing/
