    Bean cheese and rice burrito size
    Christian V.

    I'm here to give Rivas the respect it deserves everyone. Youre not coming here for a fine dining experience youre coming here for bomb Mexican food. As far as drive thru dining goes I gotta say the quality is on it! Big portions and they don't skimp out on the meat either! I got the al pastor fries which was packed full of really flavorful marinated pork, cheese, guac, sour cream and pico de gallo. I would order again but this time I wouldn't pig out so hard and force myself to finish them, this is definitely a large plate. Haddddd to smother each bite in some salsa. They have red and green which both are good, not the most amazing ever but still have some spice to it. I wish for the real hitters out there that they would do a habanero salsa but I personally like to sweat and clear my sinuses when I eat. Next we had a bean, cheese & rice burrito. Good ratio and flavor. Cant really go wrong here We finished with some hard shell shredded beef tacos. These are packed and crunchy. Everything you want. Meat is well seasoned and shell isn't overly greasy. Add salsa guys it's there for a reason and it's not a cover up it's an enhancer! I really encourage people to come here and order something good. You can't go wrong with some good Mexican food and after a long day when youre too lazy to cook this is the answer!

    Driven by this place for awhile and was waiting for a time to stop by for some Mexican food. Typical fast food mexican but decent flavors. I would try it again. Small quiet place in the spring valley summerlin border of Las Vegas.

    Drive-thru! Food isn't bad for a counter-service joint. I like the (crispy) Fish Torta, Chicken Chimichanga and Chile Relleno.

You walk in and there are numbered counters where you order your food based on type, there is signage so don't be intimidated. If you're ordering takeout, just put it on a tray and the cashier will bag it for you along with any beverages or sauces you so desire. They also have a huge dining area with booths and plenty of seating. The staff was super friendly and helpful; nobody was an asshole. We ordered Adobada Vampiro and Adobada Quesadillas and the pork was really good, they weren't stingy at all, would definitely be returning next time we do a staycation.

    I have memories of this place being great for delicious, cheap Mexican food on the Vegas strip, but…read morethe food quality has either gone down or my tastes have evolved. The only time I visit is usually when we're staying at the Wynn/Encore since it's within walking distance. We stopped in for lunch this time and it wasn't the best idea on a hot day since they don't have AC. Their ordering system is a little difficult because you have to get in the right line for the type of food you want to order and when it's busy it can be take awhile. They're known for their Tijuana style tacos and specifically their adobada ones. I got an Adobada Taco ($4.12) and a half order of Carne Asada Fries ($11.09) this time. The adobada was a little dry and spicier than I remember. Their carne asada fries are pretty basic with crema, avocado sauce and cheese. Not the best but the carne asada had pretty good flavor. It's not the best Mexican food, but if you just want cheap or late night eats, this place will do the job.

They have a Loteria drinking game, with each card matching a drink on the menu. Fun idea, but when explained seemed confusing. The drink was ok, too sweet for me and a little small for the price. Menu highlights for me was The dirty corn, salsa flight, and my (2) taco plate. The dirty corn was a standout with elote-style corn in a bowl, topped with chicharron, chorizo, and spicy mayo. It delivers that street corn flavor, but with a good mix of textures and spice. My tacos were delicious. I tried one grilled shrimp taco and one carnitas taco, served with rice and beans. The blue corn tortillas were a nice touch and pillowy soft! The carnitas were amazing, great flavor and super tender. I shrimp tacos were just as good and when topped with their habanero, verde, and roja salsa, that heat and flavor depth gets elevated! Overall, it's a dependable neighborhood spot with a fun atmosphere, creative touches, and good food that makes it worth a visit if you are in the area!

Unfortunately, the food continues to be mediocre and certainly isn't the reason I kept returning. What made CHICA enjoyable were the dancers, the performances, and the energy they brought to the restaurant. That was the experience. That was the entertainment. That was what separated CHICA from being just another overpriced restaurant with average food. Today, I was informed that management decided to cancel the dance performances. Brilliant decision. Apparently someone in management looked at the one thing customers actually enjoyed and thought, "You know what would make this place better? Let's get rid of it." I'm also clearly not the only person wondering what happened. Other customers were asking why the dancers were no longer performing. Maybe management should take the hint. As a local customer who has returned multiple times, I'm done. There is absolutely no reason for me to keep coming back now. Mediocre food without the entertainment is just... mediocre food. Whoever made the decision to eliminate the performances should seriously reconsider their understanding of hospitality and customer experience. If this was supposed to be an improvement, I'd hate to see what management considers a bad decision. And while you're reviewing questionable decisions, please do something about the DJ. The music is terrible, completely out of touch, and does absolutely nothing for the atmosphere. At this point, replacing the DJ might be the easiest improvement management could make. Great job, management. You took something unique and entertaining and turned it into something completely forgettable. You lost a loyal local customer--and judging by the reactions I heard tonight, I doubt I'll be the only one. Dj and management suck!
