Café Rio Pork
3# Pork roast (butt or shoulder)
1 c Worcestershire sauce
1 t dried oregano
1 t powdered ginger
1 t salt
1 t chili powder
1 t garlic powder
2 T dried minced onions
Cook all ingredients in a crock pot all day. One hour before serving, remove roast and shred it, dump out cooking juices. Put shredded pork back into crock pot and add…
1 c dark brown sugar
1 c red enchilada sauce
Cafe Rio black beans
1 can black beans
1/3 cup tomato juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. cumin
2 tbsp. oil
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp. chopped cilantro
Heat oil, cumin, and garlic. Throw in the rest until warm
Café Rio Lime Rice (Larry said this was better than Café Rios lime rice)
1 c white rice
2 T chicken broth, + broth to cook rice in
1 T fresh lime juice
1 T garlic powder
1 T dried minced onion
Pinch of salt
Cook all ingredients for rice directions, substituting chicken broth for water. When rice is done, add…
½-1 c chopped cilantro
1 T fresh lime juice
1 c green enchilada sauce
Guacamole (Larry said this was a good guacamole recipe, we just couldn't get very good avocados. I cut this recipe in half, and we still had plenty of guacamole.)
4 ripe Haas avocados
3 Tbs squeezed lemon juice (I think I add more)
8 dashes Tabasco sauce
1/2 cup small-diced red onion
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 medium tomato, seeded, and small-diced
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh out of their shells into a large bowl. Immediately add the lemon juice, Tabasco, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper and toss well. Using a sharp knife, slice through the avocados in the bowl until are finely diced. Add the tomatoes. Mix well and taste for salt and pepper. (I'm pretty sure I always end up adding more salt.)
Café Rio Chicken salad Creamy Tomatillos Dressing(I used this on the pork salad, so I didn’t make the chicken, but I’m including it in case you want to try it with the chicken.)
3 Tomatillos
1 c. cilantro, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/3 c. buttermilk
½ c. sour cream
½ c. mayonnaise
1 pkt. Ranch buttermilk dressing mix
Husk and cut the tomatillos into quarters, put under a broiler for 7 minutes, then chop or mince. Mix together all ingredients and chill.
Saute chicken in olive oil and garlic. Serve on top of lettuce topped with cucumbers, tomatoes and cheese with the dressing.
How to assemble a Café Rio Salad:
One very large tortilla, toasted with a little cheddar cheese (We like to use the uncooked tortillas found near the cheese section. Then you just heat them up on a low temp in a frying pan, and then melt a little cheese on it.)

chopped greens (romaine, I think)
lime rice and beans (your choice of pinto or black)
your choice of meat (their famous BBQ pork, steak, or grilled chicken)
pico de gallo
guacamole
a few cilantro sprigs
a lime wedge
some kind of Mexican style cheese, when Larry looked it up online it is called Cotija cheese. I found it near sour cream.
tortilla strips, fried and crispy
