" I had high hopes for this restaurant based on the reviews, but I came away just okay. The ambiance was nice, but my experience was marred by slow service and a mix-up in my order that took a long time to rectify. Although the food tasted authentic, the experience as a whole felt a bit underwhelming. Maybe I caught them on an off day. I would give it another shot down the line. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm really fond of this place. The vibe is very reminiscent of home cooking from my childhood. I tried the carne asada tacos and they were delightful! I also appreciated the friendly staff who took the time to chat with us. It feels more like visiting a friend's house than a usual dining experience. Just a note, it might get busy during dinner service! Definitely a must-try in Amarillo! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for a family-friendly restaurant, look no further! The owners often come out and interact with diners, which is a nice touch. I tried their huevos rancheros last week, and it was just like my mom used to make. I noticed that the prices are reasonable for the quality of food. The only downside, if I could mention one, would be the sometimes limited menu on weekdays. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria Rivera exceeded my expectations. I don't usually like menudo, but theirs was exceptional – so rich and flavorful! The service was friendly and quick, and the ambiance was so comforting. I came on a Saturday morning for breakfast and had the huevos rancheros. The flavors reminded me of home! I recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Mexican food. Just a tip, try the guacamole - it’s the best I've had! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I was initially excited to eat here, I faced some disappointment. The first thing I noticed was the long wait time despite the restaurant not being too crowded. Upon receiving my food, the portion sizes were smaller than I anticipated for the price. The flavors were decent but nothing outstanding. I guess I had heard too many good things and expected more. It’s not terrible by any means, but I don’t think I’d rush back. " (*Curated Review*)
