Our service was great and everything came out hot and quickly! The chips and salsa are free and freshly made. We ordered the Adobo Pork Tacos but they accidentally gave us the Tacos with steak, bacon, and chorizo. We thought it was good but not really what we ordered and realized once we got the check. The enchiladas were good but not massively flavorful. A nice spot for some quality Mexican food! read more

Delicious Mexican dinner! Chips and salsa were great. Chicken with queso topping was so good. Ground beef tacos, rice and beans were so good my husband almost licked his plate. The service was good. Friendly server. The atmosphere was pretty festive and lots of families. It's a louder dinner spot. At least it was on a Friday night. read more

We used to go to this restaurant all the time. We love the food. The tacos are great and the salsa is one of our favorite salsas. Unfortunately the last few times we've went, the service has been underwhelming. No drink refills, orders slightly wrong, can never find the server for drinks/boxes/check, etc. Would love to continuing going and eating their delicious food but will probably not be returning soon. read more

As I've stated in previous posts, I'm very big on food portion consistency. I'm also a creature of habit so I typically order the same thing every time I go. I ordered chicken fajitas if at this restaurant for the second time ever. The first time I had chicken fajitas from this place was about a month ago, and they had great portion size and the food tasted delicious. I went back again today and this time I was a little less than satisfied. Quite disappointed in fact. The portions were a lot smaller than they were initially and the food wasn't as good. Part of the reason I stopped going to the previous Mexican restaurant was due to the change in portion size over the time that I'd gone there. I hope they get it figured out, but I may not be returning to find out. On to the next Mexican restaurant. read more

It's local reliable generic Mexican food, which isn't a bad thing. The food is decent and the beer is cold. The service is extremely fast, so if you're wanting to enjoy a drink or two, and snack on the chips, wait to order your food. The cheese dip is good. The guacamole is worth passing up. read more

A takeout order with a specific pick up time should be fresh and hot, right? Not the case. I make a takeout order with a specific pick up time, leaving time to prepare if they were busy. It was a 4PM pickup so should not have been that complicated. Was not busy as there was only one couple in the restaurant. The food was prepared, left out on a table. When I arrived at 4PM, food was cold, chips greasy. No excuse for service this bad. read more

You'll have a great time here. Riviera Maya is a type of place where you can enjoy a fantastic meal with others who are happy, fun, and like to enjoy some great food. The waitstaff and owner do a great job in making you feel welcome and appreciated, and I think that sets the tone for your whole experience! The food was very good- my wife had the Hawaiian burrito, a first for her. Our server told us that you can't go wrong with that choice- and he was right! It was excellent- great flavor. I had the "special burritos"- one with chicken, the other beef. I was certainly not disappointed! Place was packed on a Thursday night, while really tells you all you need to know- this is a great spot, and you would be wise to give it a shot! read more
