" Another fantastic visit to Rivera's! The enchiladas were the best I’ve had around here. The rich red sauce intertwined with the cheese gave it such a good flavor, and they weren’t stingy on the portions. The atmosphere was busy and vibrant, creating a fun dining experience. Our server came by at just the right times to check on us. I truly appreciate the friendly service. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Rivera's feels like a hidden treasure with so much to offer. Each time I visit, the food is fresh and bursts with flavor. During my last visit, I had the birria tacos—absolutely delicious! The environment is lively and always uplifting. Our server went above and beyond for us making the experience even better! 100% coming back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were looking for a good place to eat before heading home and found Rivera's. The food was overall flavorful but we had some concerns regarding the authenticity. The steak in my tacos was a bit bland for what I was expecting, and the pupusas didn’t quite live up to my previous experiences at other places. Service was courteous but slow, resulting in some frustration. The prices were decent for the portion sizes but made me wish the food had more zing. It’s a nice enough place, but I might try somewhere else next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tonight was my first time eating at Rivera’s and it surely won’t be the last! The food was delightful, bursting with flavor. I opted for the veggie burrito, and it did not disappoint! My friend had the brisket tacos, which he also loved. The atmosphere was lively, and the decorations created a lovely Mexican flair. Only note: it took a bit for the food to come out, but it was definitely fresh, so I can forgive a minor wait. Staff was friendly, and the whole experience was enriching. I’ll be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Rivera's Salva Tex-Mex last weekend. Honestly, I can't praise this place enough! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with a warm smile and promptly seated. Our server was incredible—so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We started with their famous chips and salsa, which were fresh and addictive! For my main, I had the molcajete, and it was not just a meal; it was an experience! The flavors were rich and vibrant, and the presentation was beautiful. Each bite was better than the last. My husband had the fajitas, which were also top-notch. I can't stress how great our time was here—definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ventured into Rivera's after hearing a lot of buzz about their authentic dishes. I was eager to try their cheese enchiladas. While the flavor was decent, I found the cheese to be particularly oily—a bit overwhelming. The service started off slow, but our server did warm up by the end of our meal, which was nice. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, making it a decent spot to unwind after a long day. Perhaps I'll give them another shot on Taco Tuesday when they offer discounts, but I wasn't blown away this time around. " (*Curated Review*)

" Rivera's Salva Tex-Mex gives you a taste of what authentic Tex-Mex should be. I thoroughly enjoyed their beef enchiladas. However, the service was lacking; we waited a long time for our food, and our drinks weren't refilled. Although it was a busy evening, I expected better attention. The atmosphere had a casual vibe which I appreciated, but cleanliness was a little questionable. I left feeling quite satisfied with my meal, but next time I hope for better service.
