Rio Dulce Mexican Restaurant & Bakery — Restaurant in Lansdale

I cannot believed it took me so long to take my butt over here to eat some incredibly delicious and authentic Mexican food. In my defense this place is like Iceland, throwing you off with all the beautiful cakes at the front window. Parking was plentiful (and not the busy, congested side of main st) and when you walk thru the front doors you'll immediately be in the small bakery. To the right is a small Mexican market with your pantry staples. If you walk past the bakery, there's actually a spacious and brightly lit restaurant with plenty of seating in the back of this establishment. I could tell that this place was authentic when other Latinos were also happily dining here on a Saturday night. I ordered the tacos carnitas. I don't love pork, but this was so delicious. I accidentally ordered baleadas regular - if you were wondering what this was (it is not in fact nachos with refried beans lol) it was a giant soft fluffy tortilla sandwich, with fluffy scrambled eggs, avocado slices, refried beans spread, and crema and queso. Basically a breakfast wrap. It was delicious. I have the tres leches waiting in the fridge for me for later. This will definitely be a household staple- it's exactly exactly what I have been looking for in an authentic Mexican restaurant since I moved to the area. ✔️ hole in the wall ✔️ authentic flavors, the real deal!! ✔️ affordable ✔️ Latinos actually eat here 😆

No pics because I ate everything...

Worst Experience Ever! This place is an absolute disaster. This is the second time they’ve messed up our order, and this time was beyond unacceptable. We placed a cake order three weeks ago and even called back to change the pickup date. We spoke to the only person there who speaks English, and she confirmed everything was updated.

Today, I showed up to pick up the cake — just TWO HOURS before the party — and she casually says, “Oh, I forgot.” Are you kidding me?! This was supposed to be a big birthday cake for a special day, and they completely ruined it. On top of that, she even tried not to give us a full refund after THEIR mistake.

Now we’re stuck last minute trying to find a cake, all because of their total lack of care, organization, and responsibility. This business is unprofessional, unreliable, and clearly doesn’t care about their customers. I will never come back, and I highly recommend everyone to stay far away — unless you want your special...

Worst experience for my baby shower today! I ordered the cake a week ago for 1 pm. I asked if they could put decorations on if I brought them to the store. They said yes. Charged me $90 and went to pick up the cake at 1 and said it wouldn’t be ready until 3 when my shower started at 1:30. They said the machine was broken. Obviously a lie they just forgot or it wasn’t ready when it was suppose to be. So again we go back and it’s a plain cake not decorated with anything. They said that I never dropped off the decorations when i clearly did the week before. Angry because people were leaving my shower and the cake wasn’t even there. They eventually found the decorations for the cake and finally did what they were suppose to do in the first place. I love this bakery but will not be going back because of this happening today. Don’t order a cake from here it won’t be ready when you need it and the decorations won’t be correct. Don’t make the mistake I did...
