General Info

WELCOME BACK! We have moved and are open to serve you 7 days a week! Now located at the Historic “Estación de Bomberos” No8 at 258 S. and 1300 E. in Salt Lake City, serving your favorite Mexican comfort food classics, margaritas and brews. The Rio Grande Cafe opened its doors in 1981 and has been locally owned and operated since that day. For years the nostalgic landmark cafe was located in the historic Rio Grande Train Depot, initially built in 1910 for the Denver Rio Grande and Western Railroad service. In December of 2020, we moved to a new home at the historic fire station "No8" on 1300 East in Salt Lake City, but we are still serving the exact same Mexican comfort food classics that you have loved since we opened in 1981… the only thing that has changed is our location. We are excited to welcome back our loyal customers, friends, and family who have enjoyed the laid-back cafe serving up Mexican comfort food as one of Salt Lake's iconic restaurants for years.WELCOME BACK!
