A clean restaurant with prices a bit above average. Food is a hit and miss in terms of taste and quality, staff is friendly and renders good service and the environment is clean. Overall not strongly recommended.
The food is good, the place is clean, and the staff is friendly. I became an instant Rivas fan after trying what I think is the best chicken burrito in town. Make sure to try the avocado sauce too! Yum! The carne asada fries are an excellent choice as well.

Goes to show that just because a restaurant has a high rating, doesn't necessarily mean it is great. Three stars because the food was edible. Ordered the chicken fries, cheese quesadilla and a carnitas torta. The three of us thought the food was bland and the meats dry. It's okay, but not great.

This place is very delicious. I've had the chicken tacos, chicken quesadilla, and the California burrito and they were all very delicious. The horchata and jaimaca are also very good! I definitely recommend this place, don't ever go back to Roberto's!

Food was good but a little expensive for a dive. $7.99 for a chicken quesadilla, no rice or beans. Friendly service, Tv was so loud it was uncomfortable, staff didn't seem to mindAs I'm eating a overwhelming smell of pinesol cleaner overtook the taste of my food. Between loud TV and cleaner, I won't be back

The wife and I moved to area from San Diego. Heard good about this place. The food looked great. We got our order and it was cold. Such a big disappointment. I will continue to look for a 'good spot'

Came here for the steak fries after reading the reviews. Food was served quickly and everything tasted pretty good and seemed fresh. The portion size was crazy--way too much to eat. I definitely want to come back and try some of the other menu items.

Ordered through Uber eats. Got 2 chicken enchiladas, pastor fries, plain nachos, and a large sprite. The enchiladas and fries were good. But the soda was unflavored carbonated water, and 'plain nachos' is just chips. I figured nachos would at least come with cheese.

Rivas Mexican Grill is highly recommended. A variety of Mexican food. It's a delight. There isn't anything on the menu that I don't like. Great personal attention. The restaurant is super clean and has a pleasant atmosphere.
