    Excellent place. Very average though. I thought for the value the price wasn't that bad. Very watery queso dip but the salsa was flavorful. Inside was dead quiet for some reason. The ambiance was fun though and service was great. Next time I come here I'd order takeout instead of dining in!

    Enchiladas la Crema
    Letitia C.

    Even tho it was taco Tuesday I opted to or the enchiladas la crema. To my surprise it was served within 5 minutes of me ordering. I had asked about the refrained beans before ordering and they confirmed they were homemade and not from a can. They were delicious. The enchiladas were ok. I thought the corn tortillas could have been cooked a bit more. The customer service was great. PS: the salsa is a little bland but the do have a more spicy version.

    Pollo con Crema with sides of fries and rice
    Rayad S.

    We got takeout food from La Ribera and was satisfied with the overall experience. I got the Pollo con Crema which came with two sides for which I chose fries and rice. Overall the food was great and it was ready at a reasonable time. The prices were great as well. The food tasted good although lacked a certain level of authenticity that I got from other non-Greenville Mexican restaurants. Overall, for the price and the amount of food you get, I would absolutely go back again! Food: 8/10 Price: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Environment: N/A (got takeout) Would I go again? Yes

    This particular location brings back a ton of memories. Since my undergraduate days I would frequent this place every Tuesday for their infamous Taco Tuesdays. If I had a frequency card for the times that I've been, I wouldn't even have a card left! The lighting is appropriate for the dine-in experience. The parking lot can be congested depending on which day you're visiting and what time of the day (they have different specials for each day). The exterior is always clean though, as is the interior. The customer service is friendly, and the speed of your order is quick as well. For instance, if you happen to go on this aforementioned Tuesday, they'll pretty much know that you're going to order those tacos and have those out within five minutes. I haven't had any outstanding issues with a server there but maybe once, and the manager himself came out to clarify on that particular incident. The food is always hot and fresh, and the iced tea is phenomenal. But I'm just one Yelper with one opinion. Try this place for yourself. Not only would I return, but I have, and will continue to. I recommend this location.

    Is this a taco????
    Shannon W.

    This is the second time I've had horrible service here and the food has been terrible. I placed my order on the phone to be picked up and when I went to pay for it they had no recollection of it even in the system. This isn't the first time this has happened. Once I got the food (4 quesadillas) they were cold and didn't even have cheese in them? Looked more like tacos. Quesadillas have cheese in them right? Last time I'm coming here.

    Taco Tuesday! $1 Tacos & they are good. Be prepared to NOT find a parking spot on Tuesdays.

    Are there vegan options?

    Not that I am certain of. I think I've heard of a potato quesadilla but they butter their tortillas and you can ask for it without cheese

    I love their food. Had a bit of everything here from their tacos, specials, enchiladas, fajitas,…read moreand more and I'm never disappointed. This is authentic Mexican food. Spanish is spoken here and when I walk out I know a little bit more Spanish than I did coming in. The servers are super friendly and love their decor inside. Menus are under the glass which is on the table so it's easy to order. Their beans are the best in town hands down and yes that rhymes. You will see me here a lot and until next time.....

    On Fridays, we eat tacos…read more Somewhere during the pandemic, my friend group decided we wanted to try birria tacos. We'd heard that there was one place in town where we could get them, which came highly recommended by a friend who'd been here. The caveat was that the birria tacos are only served on Fridays. So we planned to do birria tacos on Friday. We came here and got 4 orders of birria tacos. I added an agua de Jamaica to my order. While we waited, I perused the adjacent grocery store and purchased some Mexican Coca-Colas, conchas, and a box of mango Pulparindo. Soon enough, our order was ready. We took our goodies back to my place, turned on a good movie, and partook in our feast. These tacos are full of flavor. The meat is tender, and the cheese was perfectly melted inside the consome-soaked tortillas. The meal is served with pickled onion and habanero pepper, fresh cilantro and onions, limes, and a house-made hot sauce. Of course, in true birria fashion, there is a cup of hot consome in which to dunk the tacos. The freshness of the condiments perfectly compliments the fatty richness of the tacos. Jamaica is my favorite agua fresca and always reminds me of my favorite Caribbean drink, Sorrel, as they are both made from the hibiscus flower. Though Mexican Agua de Jamaica has a different flavor profile than Sorrel, it always fills me with a sense of comfort and nostalgia. Their Jamaica is delicious and comes in a huge cup, so you always get enough. Since this first visit, we've made taco Fridays a tradition. I always order the birria tacos and agua de Jamaica. I've also tried lots of their other tacos (asada, chicharron, pastor, lengua, etc.) as an add-on to my birria order, but the birria outshines them all. These tacos are absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend adding them to your Friday takeout tradition. Be sure to peruse the pastry case for a fresh dessert to finish your meal and pick up some other treats along the way.
