On December 15th, the Bonfiglio, Poe and Elia families got together to attempt to recreate the Cafe Rio experience! Since we all lived in Utah for a bit, especially the Poe's and the Elia's, we all really miss Cafe Rio so we attempted to do their Barbacoa pork and Tomatillo Ranch dressing. The pork ended up being okay but the tomatillo dressing was really good (thanks to Jessica getting the recipe!). A fun time was had by all and lots of burritos and salads were eaten.
