Cafe Rio Mexican Grill will hold a grand opening for its newest restaurant in The Marketplace at Lake Meridian, 12998 Southeast Kent Kangley Road, at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 13.
The public is invited to the ceremony, which will include a ribbon cutting and the slicing of a ceremonial burrito.
Kent marks the 89th location nationwide and the fifth Washington state store for Rio Cafe, which is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. Additional Washington locations include Lynnwood, South Hill, Spokane and Wenatchee.
“We are excited to start 2016 by opening a new restaurant in Kent, Washington,” Ben Craner, chief marketing officer of Cafe Rio Mexican Grill, said in a press release. “The continued demand from our loyal fans for additional locations in Washington is humbling. We appreciate the support of the King County community and we invite everyone to join us for our grand opening for some delicious Mexican food on the 13th!”
Since 1997 Cafe Rio has served up Mexican food inspired by the traditional Mexican cooking found in the Rio Grande region of northern Mexico, southern Texas, and New Mexico.
Cafe Rio specializes in serving its customers the highest-quality, made from scratch Mexican meals, using fresh ingredients.
Each location hand rolls fresh tortillas and squeezes more than 1,000 limes daily, which are used for dressings, fresh salsas, desserts and specialty crafted juices.
Cafe Rio has been named the No. 1 Mexican restaurant in the country by Sandelman & Associates for six years running.
Cafe Rio has partnered with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry and makes a donation for every new store opening. No Kid Hungry is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending the epidemic by connecting kids in need with nutritious food and teaching families how to cook healthy and affordable meals.
