" Delicious food but a bit cramped. The service was decent but could use improvement. I had the monster taco, and it was massive! Just be prepared to pay cash, which was my only frustrations. Overall, a decent place, and I'd probably come back if I find myself in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing customer service and diverse menu! The tacos had generous portions, and the flavors were authentic Mexican. It was a busy night, but the staff made sure we were taken care of. I would definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" A nice little eatery that has some delicious surprises. The grilled fish tacos stood out for me, with very fresh salsa. Just be warned about the cash-only policy, as it's quite inconvenient for some. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic place for brunch! I loved their breakfast burritos, and the salsa served on the side was fresh and spicy. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the environment was chill and relaxed. Just remember to bring cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly disappointed with the service this time around. I’ve had great experiences here prior, but the waitress seemed overwhelmed and forgetful today. The food, on the other hand, was still fantastic, especially the breakfast tacos. I hope the service improves on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The place had a warm and friendly vibe. The food was homemade and tasted great - especially the tamales. Service was rather prompt, but be prepared to wait if you come during busy hours. All in all, pleasant experience. Worth the cash visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic Mexican food, Taqueria Rivera is the place to be! Their homemade tortillas are a revelation. Every bite reminds me of Mexico. Even the guacamole is on point! The staff treated us like family, and the homey atmosphere made it a pleasant dining experience. Just remember to bring cash! " (*Curated Review*)
