" I ordered the enchiladas and was a little underwhelmed. The flavor was great, but I was expecting a bit more from the portion size for the price I paid. On the other hand, my friend loved her beef fajitas and said they were really filling. Service was adequate, but there's room for improvement. I guess it just depends on what you order here. " (*Curated Review*)

" On a casual night out, I decided to check out Riviera. The service was friendly, but I noticed the food took longer than expected to come out. When it finally arrived, I was pleased with the taste. The pricing is reasonable for the portions, but I wonder if they could improve their timing. Overall, a pleasant meal with lots of potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Took my family here for dinner, and everyone had a great time! The food was fresh and the atmosphere was cozy. I especially loved the chips and salsa they served as a starter; they were so flavorful! Just a little bummer about the wait for food, but it was well worth it in the end. A good family-friendly spot indeed! " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading so many positive reviews, I decided to try Riviera Cocina. The ambiance was inviting, and the decor reminded me of Mexico. The food was decent but didn’t quite meet the expectations I had. The carne asada was on the tough side, and the portion sizes seemed on the smaller side compared to other Mexican places I’ve been to. Still, the service was attentive, which made up for some of the shortcomings. I might return and try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience on my visit. The service was extremely slow, and my order came out incorrectly. I ordered the tacos dorados, and they served me the wrong kind. When I brought this up, the waitress was apologetic, but it still took forever to get the right order. Despite the mix-up, I did enjoy the food once I got it. It was tasty, but I don't think I'd rush back due to the service issues. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was super excited to visit Riviera Cocina after hearing so many good things, but the experience fell short. The hostess didn’t greet us as we walked in, and our server seemed rushed. The food, once served, was tasty, but the portions were smaller than I anticipated for the price. I appreciate good service and atmosphere, but I hope they can balance quicker service with quality food next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I tried the breakfast burrito based on a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint! It was filled with all the right ingredients, and the salsa on the side is a must! The atmosphere was lovely, and the service was attentive. I will definitely return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
