Carson City Gem! Killer breakfast burritos. Their flour tortillas are definitely not from around here. Very consistent on the food and service. read more

The steak quesadilla is salty but huge with a lot of meat and it's the only reason for two stars instead of zero. Unfortunately the service is terrible. And today, this was the Chile Relleno I received. Burnt to a crisp, hard as a rock... Completely inedible. read more

We got their menu flyer in the mail on a Monday, went down on a Wednesday and wow, I've never heard of steak fries, but DANG they're good! The meat is tasty, tender & the fries, cheese, pico & guac makes one great meal. It must weigh 3lbs - enough for 2. And the gentlemen working the drive-thru were super fast! No waiting here. We went back around 10pm on Saturday night for a late dinner wanting to try the carnitas burrito (they were out) & so we got chicken taquitos & the bogo chicken tacos & again, plenty of meat, but I hate to say it, the chicken was tasteless like it was boiled. I hope they were just having a bad day & ran out of the tasty chicken along with the carnitas. We'll be back! Thanks for choosing Carson City for your 9th location. read more

I honestly don't know how they have received such great reviews. This has to be hands down the absolute worst food I've ever had, from anywhere. Disgusting! My daughter and I both agreed. We tried to eat it, give it a chance, but just couldn't stomach it. We both ate maybe 3 bites before we both looked at each other like we were going to throw up. Im seriously worried that we will end up with food poisoning. Words can not express how horrible this food was. We ordered the chicken wet burrito, a steak quesadilla and 3 beef hard tacos. Didn't get the sour cream that I paid extra for either. I literally feel sick. Just had my daughter throw it all out in the trash outside. Just wasted $68 including tip Order was through Grubhub read more

I've eaten here multiple times but apparently forget to leave reviews. I often get delivery via this parties. This time I got a sope, shrimp taco, carnitas taco, and steak taco (don't judge me, I only ate some in one sitting lol). The carnitas and shrimp tacos were the best. I basically inhaled them. The carnitas were juicy with some crispy edges, exactly how I like them. The shrimp were super yum. (However, I thought I remembered last time that the shrimp tacos were disappointing, so idk?). Anyway, all good. All good portion sizes. Recommend! :) read more

I came with my family tonight to Rivas, arrived at 10:17 and placed my order for 8 people including drinks and extras. When our order arrived, it was missing rice. So far so good just come and let me know you didn't have the rice I wouldn't mind and would go ahead with my order. My order arrived at 10:37 and soon all the outside lights were turned off with all the tables outside including 2 children. Summarizing my visit, there was a lack of communication and a little sensitivity with the children at the table, I wouldn't mind turning off the lights at 11:00 on time. For the food, yes, I recommend it for the communication and not to bring a child read more

if I could give it zero stars I would have they close early but don't update the times online and are extremely rude when you ask them why they are closing 20 min early read more

16 something just for some asada fries is crazy. I remember just a year ago they were 12 bucks. your guys ex cashier Giselle also said yall treat your meat like shit. So that's even crazier. Do better. read more

Went to Rivas today, thought I'd give it a try, hadn't really heard good or bad either way. Ordered a Chicken burrito Wet, what I got was not chicken it was pork or the driest , chewiest chicken I have ever had in my life. The meat had no flavor, the sauce was bland and very little cheese and the customer service was horrible. Needless to say I won't be going back. I will take the extra drive the next time I want a wet chicken burrito and go to Super Burrito. read more

Meh... I've had better real Mexican food But I'm from in So Cal, taquitos lacked cheese with too much sour cream. Bad balance of ingredients. More cheese less sour cream Chicken burrito was okay but wasn't "wet' as ordered. I know I had ordered 'wet' because my buddy with me confirmed this, when asking what a 'wet' burrito was. Didn't know this until we got home and the burrito wasn't too bad even though I had requested wet. Should've Double checked ,my bad. We all make mistakes cause we're human Cashier nice...sweet n friendly... So only a 3 cause food wasn't as good as I've eaten but ok read more

The only decent Mexican food place in Carson City. Good nachos. not swimming in liquid cheese. Great Carnitas. Reasonably priced

I go there. The food is good. Prices are good. But when I picked up my food today the cashier was picking up my tacos and putting them in the to go container. I understand they are trying to hurry and doing the best they can. But she is handling money constantly and then handling my food. Everyone is worried about covid and such and winter is the worst time for flu. That is my only complaint. Other than that. Im happy with the place. read more

Great food meats are very flavorful, Shrimp tacos are delicious with rice and beans. We live five minutes away so it's a great place for us. Busy drive through for lunch or dinner. I live with my son he orders our food before leaving home. It's always ready when he arrives. If you can't finish the food it's always good the next day. My son's name is Scott read more

First time goin in for breakfast and I have to admit my Burrito was Fuego!. Went in on a Thursday morning with some buddies from work . I ordered the steak breakfast burrito . The price is around $12 but the burrito is deliciously huge full of steak ,egg, cheese and potato .Be sure to Order a Horchata because the salsas they provide with the order is spicy . read more

This place is poppin'! So busy. Was up in Carson to pick up my vehicle from the dealership and my daughter was wanting some Mexican food for lunch. Put in a pick up order for steak fajitas, and a steak burrito. The flavors were fantastic! We arrived around 1130 and it was already busy and a bit of a wait and by noon cars were wrapped around this place. The food did not disappoint and this is clearly a hidden hot spot off the beaten path. The meat was excellent well seasoned and my daughter the spa nice rice was one of the best she has ever tasted- fluffy and flavorful. This a must try when visiting Carson City!!! read more

The food is amazing, especially their carne asada!!! A little pricier than what it used to be, but somehow it's still worth it!

Go through the drive through to order my normal, regular order. One plate of vegetarian fries. The woman on in intercom says okay as asks us to drive up. After about 5 minutes she comes to the window and tells my husband "we don't have vegetarian fries on the menu so we charged you for chicken fries" UM ? I've ordered the vegetarian fries over 10 times now and it shows as $7.99 on the online menu! Whats even more frustrating is that this woman has served me veggie fries a couple times previously so she obviously knows! Unfortunately for me, my husband was driving and wouldn't let me say anything. We got the veggie fries for the chicken fries price (a $3 upcharge) and Im sure the worker did this on purpose. I had rated them so high before but they completely ruined my opinion of them. read more

I just moved to Carson City and this is some of the best Mexican food I have had in awhile. I ordered the rolled chicken taco meal. It came with beans and rice. I've always liked beans, but I've never been a huge fan of the rice. Their rice was so good, I wanted more! I really like that they had a drive thru, especially with what's going on in the world right now. Definitely will be going back, but I highly recommend the rolled chicken tacos! read more

The Chicken Fries and Steak Fries are really good and J love the Ham Breakfast burrito

Since my last review we've been back and tried a couple other dishes. You can't go wrong with the breakfast burrito (I think the chorizo is a little bland, so I always go for either the sausage or bacon). The carne asada burrito and chicken burritos are good and loaded with meat, but not much else. I believe they have meat, guacamole and pico in them. Personally, I prefer a burrito with all the fillings - rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, etc. - so for me their burritos are good, but lacking some main ingredients. The cheese quesadilla is basic and huge and my daughter loves it. Overall, great drive thru mexican food. Maybe next time I'll change my burrito to add all the extras. read more

Waited 15 minutes at drive thru window. I could see my order sitting next to the 4 employees laughing and ignoring me. They had asked if I was paying cash and said I was going to use my bank card. Didn't understand what the problem was, so eventually I told them thank you and left since nobody was going to give me my order. read more

Love Rivas and I'm sad it has taken me this long to discover them. I typically go in the mornings for the breakfast burrito, which is so good and flavorful. Today I went for lunch and had the chicken salad. Oh my! My taste buds are dancing. The prices are more than fair for what you get. read more

They have so many nacho choices! I got vegetarian nachos- chips, guac, rice, beans, pico, sour cream. It was really good & a big portion (could have used more cheese). Hubby got a breakfast burrito which he enjoyed. The green sauce has a little kick to it too! read more

I'd love to give them 5 stars but the service I had today ruined it. I always order the same thing. repeated myself 3 different occasion. when I tried to correct them at the same end I got no I'm wrong responce and they couldn't even fix my order they would have taken to extra minutes. Not very happy today and I will not be going back. read more

We ordered from GrubHub for lunch a few weeks ago. We had the steak burrito and the steak wet burrito with guacamole. Food was fine, just not the best Mexican food we've had in the area. I didn't feel like the burritos had much flavor but my husband enjoyed his. The guacamole was a bit runny, not very good in my opinion. May order here again if he requests it. read more

Great taqueria that's part of a Vegas-based chain! I ordered chicken nachos and they were ready before I had a chance to sit down. The chicken had that homestyle Mexican taste, you can only get at a genuine taco shop. Service was friendly and portions are more than generous for the price. read more

I noticed that Riva's Mexican Grill #9 opened today and wanted to know if the food measured up to the Riva's in Las Vegas. I ordered my staple Mexican food item, the Carne Asada Burrito. Being a San Diego native, I figure I know a good one from a bad one. So, for $7.50 you get a burrito big enough to be considered a meal. No rice, no beans... you can get a plate if you want that stuff. It did come with guacamole and pico de gallo. They had a small but decent salsa bar to get condiments for your food. The burrito was pretty tasty and the added red "hot sauce" gave it a spicy kick. The only disappointment while eating my burrito was a few too many chunks of fat, which I usually discard. This has been the case with every new "taco stand" that pops up in the area that I'm excited about. I also feel that is the reason they have all closed up shop. Riva's... a little more attention to detail will keep me coming back on a weekly basis. Please... for my sake, don't screw it up! read more

Really good food grate flavor went threw the drive threw super friendly answered my questions the stake fries are quite big and big portions of stake too probably enough to share for two.... my complaint is that they didn't put napkins or forks had to turn back and get them and the horchata was a tad bit on the cinnamon side I will be coming back for more read more

I've been here twice in two days, the tacos are THAT good. The employees work hard, the food tastes delicious, and they're very fast and efficient for affordable food. My party sampled a bit of everything on the menu, from nachos to wet burritos and tacos to steak fries. All was delicious. The drive-thru is extremely convenient, and is probably going to cause me to stop here twice as much as I should. All in all, a great addition to Carson City. read more

I've only had the chorizo breakfast burrito because it's that good that I ordered again on my second visit. So convenient that it has a drive thru. Wait times in the drive thru can be a little long but that's because they're actually making the food so I don't mind waiting. read more

Excellent! This is the kind of place that you drive by a million times and always wonder if they're any good. It's such a weird little building in an unusual location by a dollar car wash and a gas station. Well, the food is good, the service is friendly, and 10 bucks will fill you up. I've had several of the items off the menu, and everything has been delicious! I'm still trying to decide if they serve the best chille relleno in town or not. Plus! They have a drive through, which is great! They also wear face masks and gloves, which is good since the plague of 2020. Pros: Wide selection, everything is tasty, they have a drive through, and they serve it up fast! Cons: not much seating area inside, and you have to speak up at the drive through when you order Overall: 9.5/10 - Real mexican food, fast and delicious! Order the steak fries and a chille relleno al la carte! read more
