Surprising! From the front, its difficult to tell how very nice and big it is inside! It's located across from the Sonic in Farmersville. Everything was great and a good value. We especially loved the Flaming Queso, which comes with choice of meats. A meal in itself! Full bar and great service! read more

Rivera's Salva Tex Mex - the inside of a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Farmersville, Texas

I really wanted to make this my new go-to for fajitas and margs, but the inconsistency is a major issue. Our first visit on a Saturday night was outstanding in every way. However, we returned a week later on a weeknight and the food was inedible. It feels like a totally different restaurant depending on which chef is working. It is disappointing to have such a great first impression ruined by a bad second visit. read more

The service is slow most of the time. Food isn't consistent most of the time. I like the one in Princeton much better! Different atmosphere and more appealing decor! read more

Don't let the outside fool you this place is cool and the food is really good. It has a Mexico feel to it and the service was excellent. read more

Rivera's Salva Tex Mex - Cheese enchilada dinner - Mexican Near Me - Farmersville, Texas

See all

Best in town for Tex mex and the el SALVADORIAN dishes are amazing . You would drive by this place and never be inclined to stop . But as fortune has it after being disappointed with jalepenos in town I decided to give this place a try . I have not been back to the other place in years . Rivera's is that good . You can choose between traditional Tex mex dishes or authentic el salvadorian dishes . The people are always friendly , the restaurant and bathrooms are always clean . They have multiple locations . Been going two to three times a month for several years and I have never been disappointed. read more

Wow! Found a wonderful hole in the wall in Farmersville! Margaritas are the bomb! We tried three different enchiladas. Pulled Chicken has a unique great flavor, beef and cheese are really good too! Definitely homemade Mexican rice. Refried beans are delicious too. We Will definitely be back read more

We have tried this place a couple of times with friends and it is cozy and friendly but the food is marginal. No real flavor, just kind of blah. Margaritas weren't bad service is hit or miss. read more

Let's just say WOW. Just moved here and was needing to find a new place to have Mexican food. Found this place through Yelp when u first see it you think omg what are we in for. Please don't let the outside fool you! what is being served inside is sure to send your taste buds to heaven. Growing up in New Mexico I know what good food is ! At first bite I got chills from the taste transporting me back in time as a little boy and grandma making me her food ! I got the enchilada dinner the chili con carne is pure gold. My husband got the fajita combo meats. The steak on his was so tender and jammed packed full of flavor. Also ordered a chicken pupusa delicious! Do yourself a favor and get in and enjoy a meal that will make you coming back for more ! read more

Rivera's Salva Tex Mex - Enchilada dinner - Mexican Near Me - Farmersville, Texas

Second time here. (Didn't get pictures of food the first time) I had gotten a cup of chicken tortillas soup and Pupusas, my daughter got a steak quesadilla and my husband an enchilada plate. No complaints from anyone. The second time the husband and I shared a fajita for two and a queso with ground beef. We had enough left over for me to take for lunch. Both experiences were great, food was good, service was good. Very attentive and friendly waitstaff. We will definitely be regulars. read more

Rivera's Salva Tex Mex - a variety of dishes - Mexican Near Me - Farmersville, Texas

Great food, drinks , and service! Don't let the outside fool you!! Family owned business and close enough to Lavon to come all the time.

Omg! You could drive right past this restaurant. Very much a hole in the wall. Not pretty on the outside or the inside. Staff is very friendly and they do clean very well. The food! With chips we got a very tasty salsa and we were offered large or small guacamole or queso. We got both. The guacamole is delicious, perfect chunky to smooth ratio. The queso is seasoned just right and very creamy and smooth. This was a Saturday and the special was Carne Asada. I ordered the special and the wife ordered a quesadilla with beef. I was asked how I wanted my Carne Asada cooked and chose medium. Both meals came out perfectly cooked and seasoned. Will be returning to try the margarita soon. We had unsweetened ice tea , delicious. read more

Recently found this place since we moved near here in January. Been 3 times. Delicious food at great prices. Not fancy or beautiful on the outside, but authentic food made by authentic friendly people. We usually go midday since kinda busy at night and limited seating. Fajitas are the Best! read more

One of our favorites! Their pupasas are outstanding! A must try if you are anywhere close to Farmersville!

We were introduced to Rivera's when visiting our friends this week. I cannot say enough good things about our experience! The guac, queso, salsa, and chips were soooo good. We had chimichangas, chili rellenos, and two new dishes (look for the red stars on the menu). This is no doubt the best meal, scratch made, full of flavor, so many options for sauces, just a delight in every bite!!! Rivera's is a local gem!!! If only I could have a Rivera's in our hometown. read more

Food dead the best I've had. Service was great and the staff super friendly. Ambiance was ok but who cares the food was so good.

The food was good and the price was reasonable. Lot of options on the menu. Not a fancy restaurant is not fancy by any stretch of the imagination. Service was a little slow and disjointed, but not too bad. Just a good easy restaurant with no pretension. read more

Don't let the outside discourage you from going eat in and eating some wonderful food. (It's not fancy outside)I will give it five stars on service, variety, and taste. They make their own salsa and guacamole and it is some of the best I've ever had. Prices are very reasonable and we intend to become regular customers. We had fajitas...flavor was fabulous...had choice of types of beans etc!!!!! read more

Excellent food and service at a decent price!! A true jewel for the Farmersville area. Looking forward to our next visit.

Pupusas were not good didn't even use the right stuff to make it .....tasted more like a Gordita ....as a Salvadorian those fake pupusas were trash . Now the tacos meat tasted like it was reheated meat from previous day old meat cook back in a bit of oil gross not good food and this was right when they open at 11 am nothing was fresh . I do not recommend read more

Good food and very friendly staff. Check 'em out. Margaritas are very generously sized and quite tasty as well

A delightful surprise in Farmersville,TX. Extensive menu with a unique twist. Hubby loved his beef fajitas and I was quite daring to try their take on Jambalaya which was delicious and very unexpected. Our waitress was very attentive. They have completed a rustic rehab and transformed what was previously a dumpy place into a much brighter charming restaurant. I can't wait to try some of their other menu items. Prices are very reasonable which is a huge plus. I expect them to give Frankie's in Wylie some real competition. read more

Food, price, service, margaritas and location are all good. That says a lot. It's not a pretty building but if you can get past that it's worth eating there. read more

love this place found it after getting bad service at another restaurant in town . doesn't look like much on the outside but inside is clean and what you would except from any nice small family restaurant chain . food is good , people are nice , atmosphere is comfortable, you can watch a game and have a great margaritas. if your in Farmersville and haven't went to Rivera's you should stop in like I did . it's better than the other places for Tex mex style in the area . five stars ! read more

This is our favorite local restaurant. The staff is always friendly, and the food is good.

Food is ok, service is good, Margaritas are good, open area, small country atmosphere. All around good if you want simple texmex.

not a few weeks ago me and my family went to this place and my mother and sister got food poisoning, My Alfredo sauce looked like it wasn't even fully made all the way it looked like powder and my waitress thought it was ok have someone else take over our table . she go home because her shift was over. our food was cold when it came out from the kitchen and it was like it came out of a freezer read more
