    A pile of fat from my chimi

    First off, I ordered a shredded beef chimichanga and they gave me a Carnegie asada to me. Chonga and I didn't want to start no dramas, so I took it, but that's why I don't order Carnegie asada. It's disgusting it had tons of fat in that fat that you see in the picture just came from my half of the chimichanga because I shared that with my Husband Riva's Mexican grill needs to cut the fat.

    Pozole Soup
    Lei G.

    We ordered via delivery service. We had the posole, steak fries, and pastor wet burrito. Our son raved about the posole he ordered and loved from Rivas #11 near Harry Reid Airport and was expecting the same flavor and heat from location #2. Unfortunately, the #2 location did not deliver the same quality as #15. The broth was not spicy, I tasted the posole and it was basically flavored water. There was no spicy option. No taste of chile, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. He was disappointed and so was I. I've had and can make authentic Mexican posole. I understand this is fast food takeout Mexican, but we will be ordering from store #15 from now on. However, the food was well packed, utensils and napkins included. The steak in the fries and the pastor wet burrito was well served and on point. My family and I appreciate the hard work, prep, and cooking efforts put into to satisfy the food craving we wanted for our family meal, including the posole. We spiced it up ourselves. Cheers.

    Heating up the cold menudo

    I order uber eats today from this restaurant my menudo was cold, no taste. It came with tortillas and bolillo , onions and oregano with crush peppers. I always get my menudo from Ely's but someone recommended this place. Not too much of a fan first impressions count. Packing was great, good quantity, but cold and not flavorful. I don't live that far for it to be cold, will all the packing they did.

    Steak fries
    Elisa H.

    I have been to this place twice. First time, I ordered the Shrimp fries, with everything on it. Second time, it was the Steak fries, and again, with EVERYTHING. Having recently moved to Henderson area from LA, which has a never-ending list of great Mexican food, this place was not far in comparison. Fries are thin cuts, my preferred way. Shrimp and steak were cooked to order and very fresh. Flavors mixed with beans, guac, pico de Gallo, was all to perfection.

    Rivas Burrito
    Tayvia E.

    Food is amazing I mean truly amazing seasoned to perfection But as of the late the service is horrible. This is my now 5th time standing in someone face to order saying it over and over and still getting my order wrong. Today my family spent 62.00 on Taquitos, a burritos, sopes, a quesadilla and Carne asada fries So I told Karina on my fries no beans no pico And on my burrito no guacamole no pico just rice cilantro and onions For my rolled tacos beef We get home fries have beans, burrito has no rice and has pico, and Taquitos are chicken. Mind u I have repeated myself 4 times when ordering Then I call she says I can replace the food. Ok Ty I call back to check do I bring the incorrect order back as well she says no but ask me the complete order again I repeat myself again 6th time. I also provide her my phone number because yes while I want this replaced I want you guys to realize what your doing as your food is costing as much as Texas Roadhouse. So I get my food sit down ready to eat again no rice, and I have guacamole on the burrito!!! Is this a hard thing to do add rice. Are we making my food according to what you want me to have or what? Am I allergic? Yes did you know that yes because I told you twice and my daughter also told you. What is the problem!!! The food again is great but I don't know if I can deal with the service anymore. They have had to replace my food over 5 times in 2 months. And yes I keep going back expecting a change but nothing is happening. Waiting for a response from the owner. I gave Karina my number at 1:40 pm on Saturday Feb 18th

    Steak tacos
    Mina R.

    Came in around 9pm and this place had a few customers already inside waiting for their food. There was nobody in line to order so that was fairly quick. The cashier was super friendly and always had a smile on her face. ( Thats rare in restaurants these days ) I ordered 2 steak tacos for my meal. These tacos are actually big compared to other places I've been too. Which is why i ordered 2. Lol. But kid you not. I finished it with no problem :0 The tacos were very good and fresh. I love the hot sauces. The flavors are on point. I definitely recommend this place to everyone. Friendly service and good food are hard to come by. Y'all know what I mean !

    Chicken tacos
    Sunny B.

    Food was great, cashier bubbly. Prices fair. About $25 for 2 tacos & a steak burrito; however, the cashier would not supply cups for water. That's no bueno. Especially after we added a 15% tip on the pad for the cashier. Take care of your customers & we will do the same to support local businesses. My partner ordered from there frequently on delivery and carne asada fries were A+.

    Great menudo must ask for hominy, they make it your way!
    Bev S.

    Sis & I wanted menudo, we came here the closest to us. The staff was so accommodating, kind & professional, they will add hominy if you request it! The place is clean & the food we ordered was on point so delicious! We will be back!

    Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like flour tortilla taquitos that would cross contaminate gluten free corn tortilla chips? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

This is not a place where they provide free chips and salsa and we ordered also ordered some for the table along with the guacamole. Everything tasted fresh, maybe a little too much lime in the guacamole though. The place felt like something between a chain Mexican restaurant and Javier's but smaller. There are reasonably priced dishes or you can get a tomahawk steak as well. There seemed to be something for everyone to choose from in different price ranges. At the end of the meal the bill was about $100 for my hubby and me or $200 for the table including tax and tip. A pleasant place with good food that I'd be willing to return to.

The chicken in the enchiladas was dry, and the beef in the tacos was also dry, which took away from the overall meal since they're the stars of the dish. I did notice the restaurant was very busy, so I'm sure there are plenty of popular menu items that people enjoy. I'd definitely come back for the view and service, but next time I'd probably skip the meat tacos and enchiladas and try something else on the menu.

He asked for a breakfast burrito with extra cheese and ham. The cashier asked "so no potatoes and no eggs?" to which he corrected and said "I just want a regular breakfast burrito with ham and add extra cheese." The regular breakfast burrito comes with potatoes, eggs, meat of your choice, beans, pico de gallo, and cheese. So all he was doing is telling her his choice of meat was ham and to add extra cheese. What he got was basically a quesadilla...nothing but cheese, ham, pico and a few beans. By the time we got where were we were going and bit into it it was way too late for us to go back. I look at the receipt shoved in the bag and sure enough it was typed in No eggs, no potatoes...so not the kitchen's fault since they're following instructions from the cashier. Sadly, it seems if we decide to go to this location we either have to ask the cashier to show us her screen so we can make sure it's typed in right, eat in store so we can bring incorrect food immediately to the front or disassemble our entire order to check and make sure the person taking it paid attention. It's getting to a point where it's just not worth the hassle especially with all the other options in the area. I hope they turn things around as they genuinely used to make the best food.
