Rio California

"i work right around here and came here for 2 days back to back for lunch when i found this place out. wow is this food absolutely delicious and so filling. the serving sizes are super generous and can’t wait to eat here again!"

"It was a cute place to eat surrounded by palm trees and beautiful Victorian homes. It did not feel like we were in the city. The food was fresh and tasty. They only had few items on the menu. I had the fish tacos and my coworkers had burritos, salad and crockets. My fish tacos were ok, I didn't like the cold beans they put in the tacos. But the Salas dressing was so good."

"Food is authentic and absolutely delicious. Ney, the owner offers suggestions to suit your palette for the day. He knows sauces and spices, and how one can either sweeten or acidify the dish. Feijoada is my husband's go to, served only Wednesday and Thursday. You can't go wrong with any chicken entree or the fish tacos. I especially like the salad and can eat it every day."

"Fish tacos with salad, Feijoada, and Guarana to wash it down. Cafe Rio has been here for 24 years!!! Still the best authentic Brazilian food in Oakland. The feijoada is my go to meal - served on Wednesdays & Thursdays. Pay them a visit in Preservation Park. Plenty of patio seating and a few tables inside too. Excellent customer service too!!! Help support local business! They're open for M-F. Check the website as they stay open later in the afternoon on Wed & Fri."

"Beautiful place and great food. Big portions and super fresh salads. Everything is good here. Friendly owner."
