Carnitas, Asada and Al Pastor tacos.
Jim A.

I drive by Rivera's all the time and have been wanting to try their tacos. I was also excited by all the positive reviews on Yelp. Today I went for their Taco Tuesday. All their tacos were $1.75. I tried 3 different tacos including Asada, Carnitas, and Al Pastor. Each taco had plenty of meat on them. They also were sprinkled with onions and cilantro. The problem is they were bland. I added the mild green salsa but the blandness did not change. Wish I had liked them better. On a positive note the service was excellent and the woman that took my order was very friendly.

I am adventurous. Giving a shot at that hole in a wall restaurant, hoping that i find another hidden GEM, is just my style. I have noticed Rivera's for awhile now, I just never had a chance to try it. On this random day, i have decide to change that. My overall experience is alright. decent pricing similar to all the big chain fast food restaurants. The food is not bad. i don't have anything to complaint. Ordering to service is quick.

My salsa combo of choice

Service is quick, Friendly staff, always making sure your order is right and taken care of. They have daily specials! Stop by this Hidden Gem is in Fullerton, across from a famous Taqueria but don't Sleep on this spot ! It's comfort food and salsa and again carrots are fire!!! They do provide inside seating but I always order to go. Try it You'll enjoy this spot!

Great restaurant and the people here are amazing. I never knew a taco could melt in your mouth until I came here. From time of post I will prob make it my mission to be here a couple more times. Atmosphere is cool real good vibe inside and out. I had chorizo tacos and what a present to eats here.

2 cochinita tacos, mildly spicy carrots, and green sauce. The canned cocktail is from the liquor store next door.

Rivera's is my favorite taqueria in Fullerton - and I've tried them all. Their service is always friendly - the food is made quickly - and their kitchen (clearly visible while ordering) is VERY clean. Their portions are generous for the price. I highly recommend trying their quesabirria tacos - or their cochinita (some of the best I've ever had). They also have a ramen birria that is a fun option to try something a little different. It's delicious. Right next door is a great liquor store so I like to pick up a canned cocktail to take home with my tacos.

Chorizo breakfast burrito ($12)
Jana H.

This review is based solely on their breakfast burrito! Chorizo breakfast burrito was just okay. The chorizo was not too greasy and had good flavor. Didn't love the hash browns in it and they had no flavor. Appreciated it was meat "heavy," but also felt that it was definitely lacking in cheese and barely saw the egg in it. Also feels like it needs some cilantro, onion, or peppers in it to add to the flavor. Wished I would have subbed beans for hash browns and at a $12 price point, it was definitely a 3/5.

Al pastor and Asada tacos, both very good.
Ramez W.

Great tacos!!! Nice little spot in Fullerton, not far from Harbor blvd. Great deal for taco Tuesday. Food was made to order. Fresh tortillas with some Al pastor and some Asada! Habanero sauce on the side for some heat. Quality place, I would definitely be back if I'm ever in the neighborhood!

Didn't receive my free burrito what he said MADE no sense! I spent so much money here that I was completely confused and shocked.

I love this place. They are so humble and genuine. Their food is top tier and one of the most authentic/delicious. I would definitely recommend this place!! 10/10

Fish Tacos
Zoey V.

this place was bomb. seemed like a little family owned hole in the wall. the fish tacos were so good, they had that orange sauce that's so creamy. they had an option to add avocado and cheese which i had to do. they crisped up the cheese on the grill it was hella good. i'd come back and order 4 of them. not to mention the service was super nice and asked if i wanted any lemon or salsa :). i noted that their other tacos are $1.75 on tuesdays, a crazy good deal. not too much seating inside but i'd order to go again!

Revolucion Cantina & Mezcaleria has a revolutionary taco Tuesday…read more... It's not a big restaurant but they spaced it out great and have a great bar,western, Hispanic vibe to the whole place. I loved the artwork and photos with frames. The service was great, between the bartenders, check in and our host we were always tended to and asked how we are enjoying our experience. Now.. when I heard taco buffet... I'll admit I was skeptical. So when my buddie suggested this for our foodie group I figured give it a shot. I'll start by saying ... I'd go every Tuesday lol it was a simple buffet they had every meat you needed, the carne asada was good, the chicken was good, the barbacoa was friggin delicious my favorite was the Al pastor. And the mushrooms ... usually at buffets have dry or oily food and this was pretty damn good to be honest. I think it's a solid business plan to do taco Tuesday like this. On top of all that the mini churros were good, the salsas were delicious. The chips were alright I think that's the only thing that was ok for me but overall I enjoyed myself very much. ALSO!!! The mango margarita!!! PERFECTION!!!!!

OC's Best AYCE Taco Tuesday?!…read more All day Tuesday from 11 am to 10 pm, Revolucion Cantina in downtown Fullerton, CA, is the place to be! It's a taco lover's paradise where you can build your dream tacos--or even nachos with crispy chicharrones. It's wild, and guess what I made? Chicharrón nachos! My no-carb-loving husband was ultra jealous. The options at this taco Tuesday bar are seriously impressive--at least six different proteins, nacho cheese, pozole, all kinds of salsas and toppings, plus four flavors of agua fresca to try. And to top it all off, you can end your meal with crispy, sweet churros! This spot is definitely worth checking out, especially on Tuesdays. Come out and have some fun!

We parked across the street near an intersection with a stop sign. Our table inside had a nice view of the Placentia Water Tower, and it felt somehow relaxing to gaze at it in the distance. I ordered the pork carnitas ($18), which included pico de gallo, rice, refried beans with melted cheese, and three warm tortillas. The portion size was large, and I took a some carnitas home. While the carnitas were tender, they weren't as juicy as I hoped. They provided only three tortillas that lost their warmth quickly in parchment paper. The rice had a good texture that had the right amount of firmness. I also tried the guacamole, which had a somewhat fluffy texture with a pleasantly light and savory flavor. While not affecting my review of this restaurant, I wish they served a mole dish.
