My husband and I visited Rivera's in Princeton for the first time, and unfortunately, it wasn't a…read moregreat first impression. My husband's meal was good, but mine was served so cold that it was inedible. The cheese wasn't even melted, making it seem like it hadn't been cooked long enough. My husband's plate was hot to the touch, mine was cold. I politely brought it to our server's attention, but the service wasn't very attentive, and the only resolution offered was a 10% discount on my entrée. Since I couldn't eat the meal, that didn't feel like an appropriate response. We understand that every restaurant can have an off day, but between the cold food, lackluster service, and the way the issue was handled, it was a disappointing experience. Sadly, our first visit will also be our last. We won't be back.

And actually, it's not in the middle of "nowhere" so much as lots of rural houses but no other restaurants. Also, there's no proper bathroom, just a porta potty. *But* that was the only downside. And the restaurant was so bright and nice. I'm sure they've done all they can with a limited location/budget. Besides the main restaurant, there's a food truck next door, and I think it's all really the same owners. The latter has desserts (I got the arroz con leche), hamburgers, et al. I think they have daily specials? There was a sign in the back, but partially blocked. Like, Wed is chili relleno, Thu enchiladas, Fri fish tacos, Sat/Sun menudo? You can ask. The waitress was very friendly and competent, and I felt her English was pretty good. But I still ended up just googling some of the menu for my own understanding. When I learned they had cabeza tacos, I had to try that. If I had the room, I'd have tried the "bombapal" which looks like a lot of nopal and a lot of food overall. Curious! From FB, I saw they had a tortilla soup today ($9.80). The waitress said it was good, so I ordered it. She was right! It was really tasty. Also, she put two salsa bottles on the table, and she said one was hot, and the other was really hot ... but that they were both really hot. Lol. She was right! They were both distinct and had a very good kick. For a "hole-in-the-wall" Mexican place, this had really nice lighting and ambience (except for no indoor toilet). Everything was clean and bright. I'm curious to try all their other authentic dishes!

That's another plus! You can bring your dog! The patio is completely covered and has plenty of fans and heaters depending on the weather. It looks like there are even screens that come down when needed, so another plus! Their happy hour drinks are $5. A $5 margarita? YES! I didn't get to take pictures of everything because I was just so in awe of the quality of the food, drinks, and service. I had a taco salad, and my husband had a quesadilla. We also tried the deviled eggs and they were so good. Everything was a 10/10. We can't wait to come back!

Cookies reminds me of that and it's so special. It is the freshest, most authentic Mexican food you could ask for. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. Everyone working there is always so genuinely kind. It's laid back and comfortable with the best vibe. If you think you've had excellent birria at other places--I promise you, you've had nothing until you've had theirs. They offer their quesabirria tacos in both barbacoa and lamb (because it's actually authentic Mexican) and they are total nirvana. And today, my search for the best menudo in Dallas came to an end. This is it and I'm positive I'll be getting it every Saturday that I can during the cooler months. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to trying everything else on their menu. Today we took our order to go and it was packaged completely perfectly with generous salsas and toppings.

On my second visit, I tried a mix of birria de chivo (goat) and birria de res (beef) tacos. The beef was well seasoned and flavorful, but unfortunately the tortillas were a bit too burnt this time. I also decided to try the rice and beans, which ended up being a miss for me. The beans had a canned aftertaste and were very bland, while the rice was dry and also lacking flavor. I tried three of their salsas: salsa verde, salsa verde tatemada (served warm), and the habanero salsa. The two green salsas were decent, but the habanero stood out with great flavor and a nice kick of heat. The staff was super friendly, and service was quick on both visits. Overall, based on consistency and my experience across both trips, I'd rate this spot 3.5 stars.
