Ordered a supreme chicken burrito at Rivas last night and it was great. The huge burrito came loaded with chicken, rice, pico, sour cream and guac for only 10 bucks. Definitely worth the visit and most dishes can be shared, as their more than large enough for two. Great spot for quick Mexican eats 24/7. read more

Tried this for the first time tonight. The first thing that almost made me immediately leave was the smell. Never have I smelled whatever that was in a restaurant. I can't even identify it but it was awful. Second, they charge you to use a credit card. Ummm no. I'm not paying your business expenses. Sorry. So the food itself was....okay. The rice wasn't too bad but the terrines beans tasted EXACTLY like Rosarita in a can. Not that that's a bad thing, I like Those beans but you'd expect more from a restaurant. The chips are not good, the salsa bar is seriously lacking. So overall, absolutely no need to ever go back. read more

This restaurant is good for a quick bite to eat. I've always gone through the drive thru, but it's usually pretty quick. This time I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito and was so good! It had eggs, chorizo, potatoes, and pico de gallo. The food here is always fresh and tasty! read more

Super good!! This was my first time going and I got the steak fries as a meal to cure my hangover and the steak fries did not disappoint. By far one of the best steak fries I've had! It was enough for me and my boyfriend to share. The steak was really good great quality and you can taste that they came from off the grill. I will be coming back next time I visit! read more

My favorite place to get GOOD & Authentic Mexican food! I have been on the hunt since moving from SoCal & this place just hits right every time. They're Al Pastor meat is so bomb! It has the right flavor & it's juicy. The Rice & Beans are perfect, reminds me of my mommas cooking. The Horchata is legit, not just the powder stuff & if you go to the McCarren location you can get Agua de Pina. If your looking for good authentic mexican, go here period. read more

Service was excellent. Clean and cozy atmosphere. Food was amazing! I had the carnitas tacos and the flavor was perfect!

Stopped here for a burrito on my way to work one morning and decided why not give em a try. I ordered my usual goto burrito which is bacon egg and cheese. They asked if I wanted pico in the burrito which I've never tried so I said sure! I wish I didn't the onions were way too much for my liking. But besides that the burrito tasted great, there wasn't too much cheese - a perfect balance of everything! They also have a drive thru which was speedy and is just super convenient for a busy mama like me. I will definitely be stopping here more often! I can't wait to try more. read more

Eh this place is alright. I've been driving past here often so I decided to stop by. Their menu is very big and food was a pretty good. We went on a Wednesday so they have the 99 cent chicken taco special and it was okay. I love carnitas tortas so I thought their tortas were going to be good but it was eh. The tortas were so soft they fell apart and the carnitas smelled weird. But the one good thing is the al pastor fries. Those were very yummy and the portion was huge. I asked the girl at the drive through if they could grill my onions and jalapeños and she kept saying yes they could do that but when I got home I realized that she gave me the pickled ones instead which was disappointing. But their avocado sauce was very good read more

This is a review for Their new location in the N. Valley. The service was slow and appeared to be unorganized. The food was flavorless and average at best. The people were nice, but seemed to be overwhelmed and understaffed. read more

2/5/2021 I drive down this road very frequently so when I saw that a new restaurant was opening up I was excited. Yesterday we finally had the pleasure of enjoying some of their food. We went through the drive thru and ordered some chicken fries, pastor fries and a wet chicken burrito. We did have to wait a while to get out food. But when we got home and opened up the boxes we saw why they were taking so long. The portions were huge!! Basically the food filled out the whole to go container. So portions awesome the taste of the food great as well!! We also had some horchata which was delicious. read more

Food is decent. Service SUCKS!! Don't make a delivery order. I was missing TWO complete entrees. I called to complain and was told I could come back down for my food. I went. They tried to short me one entree AGAIN! I then told them I'd like something for the inconvenience due to THEIR mistake. My other food was at home getting cold. She didn't care. She told me basically too bad! I contacted corporate. They never responded. Never going back!! PLENTY of better Mexican places in this area. YOU SUCK, RIVA'S!!! read more

Wish the prices were cheaper and then tried the food and..... LOADED EVERYTHING! Big portions and the salsa was fire! Got the carne asada fries and the al pastor tacos. Also they got a drive thru and the food came out quicker than a McDonald's line. SLAY read more

I've gone 2 times and it's always been too greasy, no flavor to the food and wasn't worth the price.

Order, a large rice for $4.50. Got home and the gave me a small rice. I called and they wanted me to drive back to get the correct thing while my food gets cold at home. If I dont go now they can't do anything for me. Wouldn't even offer a credit back for the differences. read more

NO. NO. NO. Food is good SOMETIMES. They are not consistent. Worse yet is the service. READ THE REVIEWS - not good. They don't speak ENGLISH so if your order through a third party like DoorDash is incorrect or needs substitutions GOOD LUCK. This is Mexican Food RUSSIAN ROULETTE. You "might" get the order right, you might not.....my last TWO orders in a row...NOT. read more

This place opened up in the old Philadelphia Cheesesteak spot. A great add to this neighborhood and they have the drive through. They have huge portions, and the prices are great. Each time I've been it was nice and clean, and they are friendly, and food is served fast. I've had the nacho's twice and probably will again. 7/21 read more

Been here numerous times and have yet to be disappointed. Possibly my favorite place in town when it comes to Mexican food.

My first time to eat at a Rivas. I got a 2 tacos steak combo. The taco shells were over cooked and oily. The steak was tough, dry and cold. The fountain drink dispenser was inoperative. read more

Just ordered the shrimp plate and chicken burrito, and it's like the night shift don't care or have pride in the food that they send out. Normally, I don't write reviews but this was just unacceptable. Disclaimer- I love Rivas and I go as often as I can. It's always fresh and made with love but not today. Shrimp had no flavor cold , chicken burrito was super skinny all tortilla and cold , I added fries and all of them were hard crunchy fries. I wanted to send it back but I feared as my food would get tampered with. Do better night shift. read more

I may be disappointed about the Pozole at Rivas but the dollar chicken tacos are really good. Crispy tacos with fresh chicken, lettuce and cheese. No need to get tacos anywhere else on a Wednesday. So, if you have something negative to say about a place maybe there is a positive too! read more

I have hit this place up late at night and Dashed it more than once. They haven't failed to deliver. The pastor is well seasoned and excellent in a torta, but so far I'd have to say my favorite is the plain old chicken burrito. The portions are filling and the prices are reasonable. As an aside, I have seen people complain about this place but honestly they do claim to be a gourmet edgy Mexican experience. This is convenient street comfort food and is actually considerably more authentic than most places in Sparks and Reno. read more

Rivas is one of renos most authentic mexican food places if not tha most! its really a good place to grab something really tasty.. rolled tacos, tortas, burritos and carne asada plates... really good.. Iwill be back shorty for my next taco craving... thank you Rivas! read more

Addicted to their bacon breakfast burritos. They are perfect in size, taste, and price. Get the green sauce to add, you can thank me later. Staff is super sweet too! read more

Felt like "hole in the wall" Mexican food, but needed drive thru and this place came up. We got the carne asada fries, plain quesadilla, wet asada burrito and large horchata. The fries were tasty and my partner loved his burrito. Said it was better than his favorite place that we just had last week. I didn't finish my fries since the portions are huge. Service was faster than Mcd's which I was surprised. I will be back to try a shrimp burrito and tacos. read more

Best BEST best Mexican food joint, my #1 favorite place to come too... A little on the pricey side, but it's worth it. Besides that Just stay away from the manitou, it's not that good. 5 stars for sure. read more

This is some of the worst Mexican food I've ever had. We got delivery and went pretty basic, some nachos, some authentic tacos and a crunchy taco just because. The nachos were plentiful, and a good portion, but tasted like... completely unseasoned everything. If you want plain chips, with meat that hasn't even had salt put on it, with guac and Pico that has no seasoning in it, get the nachos. The authentic tacos were absolutely inedible. There was so much guacamole on them that you couldn't see anything inside of the taco, and on top, was a small sprinkle of Pico. One bite and I had to force myself to swallow it. The crunchy taco was... okay. Another bland offering that had very little flavor, but a good portion of meat. The flavors were so incredibly bland, I started wondering if I had covid, and began searching my house for things to smell/taste, of which I could smell and taste everything. Rivas just sucked that bad. 2 stars for the portions, but if it wasn't for that it'd be 1 read more

This was the new one on N McCarran, first time ever walking into one of these places. Keep seeing then pop up and thought I'd give them a try...NOPE! ZERO STARS!! Tried ordering a wet chili verde burrito asking for chili verde on top, instead of red. Cook said we don't do that, I'm like, you don't have chili verde? He's said we do, but we don't put on top. Never heard of such a thing, won't ever be going back there. I'd suggest going to Roberto's 24 hr spot or Super Burrito. read more

Yoo, this asada burrito is fire. Definitely getting the fries next time. Try the red salsa too it's bomb. This is definitely going to be my new spot. Kicks Roberto's a**! Plus it's also 24 hours!! read more

Rivas Mexican Grill - Steak burrito - Mexican Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

I was super excited this location opened right down the street in Sparks. Plus, it's open 24 hours & late night options are limited on this side of town. I tried to visit on opening night, but the line was long & my stomach was empty, so I went elsewhere. Tonight, I finally got to try Rivas @11:30pm, after ending a busy restaurant shift. I ordered the steak fries & my boyfriend ordered the carne asada plate w/ corn tortillas. It cost $24 & some change, which seemed somewhat pricey considering we didn't even get drinks. But, we hoped the carne asade was worth it & also a good indicator of the quality of the food. We got our heavy bags, went home & were extremely disappointed once we opened the containers. I will lead with the postive: the portions are HUGE...I guess that's the only positive, honestly. I had very few bites of my steak fries. Immediately, the flavor of the meat bothered me. It tasted like it had been cooked on the same dirty griddle from the old philly cheesesteak restaurant that used to be in the same location. It smelled and tasted of old grease, which is really odd because they have completely transformed the building & it should be like new. The guacamole was obviously pre-packaged; it had the bright color and flavor of store bought guac, which was a little disappointing. I was hoping there would be fresh avocados at a Mexican restaurant, but maybe I expect too much. I would have gladly paid as much for 2 pounds less of the steak fries & real guacamole instead. Also, there really wasn't much to the actual fries. Yeah, there was like 10 pounds (ok maybe 3) but it was fries, gross meat, cheese & gross guac. On to my BF's food....as you can see in the pic, it is not the carne asada plate that he ordered, but actually what looks to be steak fajitas. He didn't try his. He doesn't eat bell peppers & I think the disappointment of the incorrect order ruined his appetite. I tried it and couldn't get past the flavor of this same gross meat. Didn't try the rice or beans. Didn't care at that point. I feel like my 3 stars rating is generous because I will most likely never go back. I wish they gave people reasonable portions, with fresher ingredients and took the time to make sure everything they handed us was correct & something they would actually want to eat themselves. There was so much wrong with such simple food. I will stick to the taco trucks. read more
