" Rivera's is one of those places that feels like home. The Mexican food is comforting and tastes authentic. I can't recommend their pozole enough; it's robust and hearty, perfect for a rainy day. The service staff was courteous and made sure my experience was pleasant. The only downside is the outdoor seating which can get quite hot during summer, but the delicious food makes it worth it. I’ll definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rivera's Tacos caught my eye because of its quaint appearance. The vibrant colors and decor made it an appealing spot for dinner. I ordered the shrimp tacos and was quite pleased! They had a nice spice level and the shrimp were succulent. On the downside, the wait was longer than expected, and the staff seemed overwhelmed despite the place not being too packed. Still, I'm likely to return since the food was so enjoyable. It's the kind of place you want to support, especially with their focus on authentic dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Rivera's Tacos is a delightful little gem that I stumbled upon while looking for authentic Mexican cuisine. Their tacos de carnitas are simply incredible; perfectly crispy and flavorful. I also loved that they use fresh ingredients without any preservatives. The service was friendly, and my food was ready in no time at all. I also appreciated how they offer a range of options for various tastes. If you're in Long Beach, do not miss out on this eatery! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Rivera's for years, and they never let me down. The tacos de tripa are always a standout! The taste is phenomenal and reminds me of authentic street food back home. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, and the service is always friendly and quick. I love that it's a local gem. However, I've seen some inconsistencies in the cleanliness of the tables. I hope they can keep that area in check, but overall a wonderful dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're searching for authentic flavors, Rivera's Tacos is not to be missed! I tried their al pastor tacos, and they were incredibly rich in flavor with a perfect balance of spices. The service at this restaurant was top-notch, making the experience even more enjoyable. Plus, I couldn't believe the generous portion sizes at such reasonable prices. Will definitely come back for another round of tacos soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Rivera's was quite good. The burritos were bursting with flavors and generously filled. I loved how they offered a variety of hot sauces as well, which added to the excitement of the meal. The only concern I had was that the dining area appeared a bit on the neglected side; some tables could use a good scrub. Regardless, the food made up for that aspect, and I'd recommend it to anyone searching for a solid Mexican meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Rivera's for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised! The staff greeted me with smiles and were very accommodating to my dietary restrictions. I opted for a veggie burrito, and wow, it was packed with flavor! The portions were generous for the price. The only drawback was that it was a bit casual for my liking, but if you're after good food, this is the place. I look forward to returning to try their breakfast menu. " (*Curated Review*)
