Cafe Rio Mexican Grill is opening two Denver-area locations this fall: Greenwood Village on Sept. 30, and Highlands Ranch in December.

"We're thrilled to be opening two new locations in Colorado where we've been part of the greater Denver community for over 12 years," Steve Vaughan, CEO of Cafe Rio Mexican Grill, said in a company press release. "With these openings, we'll be able to offer more locations to Coloradans to experience our fresh, award-winning, and flavor-packed recipes in their own neighborhoods."

Each location will celebrate its opening with games like Plinko and corn hole and chances for participants to win a variety of prizes. The first 100 dine-in customers will receive gifts and an additional 100 will win free meals.

Cafe Rio was founded in 1997, in St. George, Utah, and has nearly 150 locations in 11 states.
