Love love love this place. Really good margaritas, fresh authentic Mexican food (not Americanized Mexican). The molcajete is amazing and will knock out a cold! It's a cute intimate setting. read more

VERY GOOD, must try Mexican place. Went for dinner yesterday. I had the beef chimichnga which was excellent not over fried and oily. Clean, fresh and very satisfying. My daughter had the Shrimp and Avocado with clam sauce, rice, beans and a side of tortillas which was outstanding. The tortillas are fresh made from a great tasting Masa. Service was good and the prices were a little on the high side but fair. If you like Mexican it is a must try. read more

Came here for a late lunch with my brother. Really cute and homey atmosphere and friendly staff. My brother got the House Fajita and loved it. I got the veggie burrito. It was a tad bland but I ate most of it. Overall it was a good experience and I will try it again. read more

WOW! Yay long valley! So happy to have WONDERFUL Latin American cuisine here. Great meal here tonight - surprised they took us at 8;30 and so pleased with everything ordered. Price was great and we will be back soon. Suggest you try and order something "out of the box" - I got spicy shrimp. But if you feel like Classic my daughter's chicken burrito was amazing!! Ask for suggestions and remember there is a full bar read more

You can't go wrong with typical Mexican food like this and served as always copiously. Margaritas are great, sangrias and lemonade refreshing!... Will keep coming since not many other 'real mexican outlets in the area. Hostess pleasantly friendly, attentive and seemingly over their capacity, hence overall service and waiting times should improve! read more

I had veggie fajitas and they were awesome! I have had fajitas before in other places but nothing comes close to this. They taste so good all by themselves that one doesn't even need tortillas and rice and beans with them. Their sangria was really good. SO had Polo Asado and he swears by it. We even talked to the owner of the restaurant and he told us that they make everything fresh, even the beans. Nothing comes out of the can and the quality of the food confirms it. Their flan is also very good. We are definitely coming back here with friends and family. read more

A hidden gem! Hand chopped salsa could not be fresher. Salsa chips and tortilla's are also hand made on site. The owner and his family could not be more gracious and accommodating. Two thumbs up. read more

Incredible food,lovely space, decent prices. This is a great special occasion restaurant, and has everything you might like if you love Latin American food. The Tacos Carne Asada are incredible. We even called to order an entire Tres Leches cake for dessert as we were celebrating a birthday, and it was exceptional. read more

FRESH!! Finally, I found a local Mexican/Latin-American restaurant that takes pride in providing fresh-tasting meals! Nothing here tastes like its from a can or spent time under a heat lamp. From their homemade chips, tortillas and guacamole, to their perfectly prepared Molè, fish tacos, and ceviche, everything was perfect. The wife and I had such a great meal. Not to mention, the staff seems inspired by the chefs/owners and its reflected in their upbeat service. Top it off with a reasonably-priced bar, it makes for a great night out. Personally, I live a block away from another local Mexican place but I'll be making the 10 mile drive here from now on. read more

The food is fantastic! My wife and I order from here at least once a week. If you are looking good Mexican food, this is the best place in the area. read more

You know all the Mexican food chains you go to for frozen Mexican like food? This place is NOT that. It's way better. It's the real deal. It's great to taste ethnic food that has flavor and tastes like it is made by people who care and who actually like the food they are making. The chips and salsa are fresh and burst with flavor. The roasted pork was melty (that is a food word, look it up!). The beef taquitos were fresh and delicious. The beef tongue tacos taste like they came off a food truck I remember from L.A. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. Great to finally have a real restaurant in Long Valley. read more

Delicious! Take it from a west coast native, someone who has traveled all through Mexico and. Guatemala. They are serving authentic meals here. Full bar. Nice family! Quaint building. Sit back and enjoy! read more

Easily the best Mexican/Latin American restaurant around. We recently held a big family dinner there celebrating my son's 2nd birthday, and they were beyond accommodating. Nery and his daughter Kim were welcoming, attentive, and really did everything they could to make the evening special (thank you!). Their guacamole and enchiladas mole are personal favorites. Ambiance is warm, cozy and authentic. La Rienda is most definitely a regular on our list. read more

Our local favorite place to hang out and eat! Love the family. Love the food! Everything is prepared with a lot of love. The food quality is consistent and always outstanding! I admit it, there are mornings I wake up thinking about the guacamole. We're so glad La Rienda is a part of our neighborhood. read more

This review is looonnng overdue . Was here for my hubby's bday weekend. What a treat!! I thoroughly loved every moment. It's family owned & run, that you can tell this establishment is nothing but love. Very cozy. From the moment we sat down until we left we had a grand time . I'm a fan!!! read more

Good family owned restaurant. Generally solid food and drink. Unfortunately the tongue tacos are no longer available. For warm weather the outdoor seating is a nice option. Guacamole is freshly made. read more

Wonderful food, great service!!! Mojitos and margaritas are perfect. Family friendly, outside dining weather permitting which is nice. All the entrees are great, cant pick a favorite. read more

Love the complimentary salsa and chips. Appetizers and entrees are amazing. My favorite is the Margherita Steak Salad which I choose to substitute Shrimp! Drinks are good too. Friendly family run business. Must try! read more

Great menu, very poor bar. Nice staff, worn look and feel inside with very poor lighting. It's too bad because this restaurant could be so much more. I would not go again. read more

Absolutely outstanding authentic latino/honduran (or whatever) food. Cozy atmosphere, and great takeout. Can't say enough, you will not be disappointed! read more

I love this place. Food is so good. Great staff. The owner is so nice. We go all the time. Highly recommend. Wish i knew about this place for longer! Blows the competition out of the water!! read more

Second time there and enjoyed everything we ordered. carne asada is delicious and my favorite. service was good.

One less star for service. I understand it's Friday night and all tables were full but it took 5 minutes for someone to come to our table. The waitress kept passing us by and not acknowledge us until I asked her if she was our server. Then rushed to say she will be right back. Finally the buser came by with nachos and water. So after all that and almost finished our complimentary nachos she came by and took our order and about 10 minutes since we sat down. So we just order the drinks and food. On to the food. It was great I had the mixed fajitas and my wife had the beef with rice something, and our kid got the beef empanadas. We enjoyed our food and do get the hot sauce. It comes as green hot sauce and it's really good, I think it's homemade as I can taste the freshness of the ingredients. The service did get a little better once the other customers left. All together I wish the service gets better as the food is really delicious. read more

Great food and service! loved the lemonade... yummy.. only one complaint.. small place and a little tight. But overall wonderful... will go back again! read more

The food is fresh and amazing. Sangria is great. Flan is a must have. One of the best I've had! If you are looking for a relaxing night, with good food and drinks, this place is great. They now have a new patio that's great for bigger groups. Two thumbs up to Neri, the owner, who makes you feel at home. read more

The most amazing ceviche and sangria! Super nice staff, adorable decor...you really feel like you're in Mexico! Come support this incredible local restaurant! read more

Maybe it was an off night, but we ended up leaving before being served. Wish we could have tried the food after a ridiculous wait, but we weren't about to sit at the cramped table next to the filthy bathroom area for any longer after we found out our order we had place 90 minutes before hadn't even been started. Between the unbelievably terrible service (in 90 minutes of waiting at the table, you would think the waitress could have checked on us or refilled our water!) and uncleanliness, we won't ever be back. read more

A great place for a casual date. The staff is warm and friendly. The fare is very fresh and tastes like no other Mexican that I have ever had. Cozy surroundings with a real wood burning fireplace. The owner is on premises ensuring everything thing is running smoothly. read more

Dinner was delicious. Loved trying a variety of their authentic dishes with the kids. Recommend the Molcajete La Rienda ! Just enough bite to let you know you it was there. read more

I feel robbed. We had carna asada and chicken fajitas. Pretty basic Mexican food and it was sub par to say the least. No Guac, no sour cream, and no salsa. My asada was a mediocre piece of steak that wasn't seasoned at ALL. On top of that they didn't even bother to slice the meat so I spent a half hour cutting chewy, burnt steak into bite size pieces to fit into the tortilla. The one thing that could have saved the dish, the tomato sauce, didn't even make the plate. The chicken, yet again did not have any seasoning. I'm no food critic but a new place like this could do very well in LV if they put in any sort of effort. The rest of the reviews must be family or friends being nice. I don't buy it. read more

We loved it. Great, fresh guacamole. My son had the buffalo wings and loved it. My wife had the Churasco, delicious. And I had the Taquitos Dorados. All were very good and authentic. We'll be back. read more

Great little restaurant ..Food is freshly cooked to order.The owners sister makes the tortilla's fresh . Will be going back..

This place has AMAZING food. It is fresh, local, and the people are so friendly. It is a family run business by people who are genuine and who really care about service. I would recommend to anyone looking for GREAT food and an experience that is personal and tasty! Netty (the owner) is worth speaking with...what a great hardworking guy! read more

I really hope that this place makes it - they MUST fix the service issues when it is busy... Went here for dinner at 6:45 pm on a Sunday (with a reservation) before Labor Day and we were seated right away. The dining rooms and bar were all pretty full, and you can sit outside on a small patio or porch as well. We sat at our table for a very long 15 minutes before anyone came over, and when the waitress did come to the table, we ordered our drinks and dinner. About 5 minutes later a bus boy brought us a basket of delicious home made tortilla chips and two kinds of delicious salsa, but unfortunately we had NO water. After another ten minutes went by and the chips were gone, our waitress finally brought us our water and our ceviche appetizer, which was outstanding. She then came back again with our mojitos (excellent). Our food came out about 10 minutes later, my husband had the steak churrasco and I had the pork tamales. His steak was amazing and our rice and beans were delicious. My pork tamales were the only disappointment for food - the tamale was mushy and bland, and the pork did not have much flavor. There are a LOT of traditional Mexican and Guatemalan items on the menu, and everything is clearly home made. The dining areas are all very cozy and unique, but it can be loud if the tables next to you are large parties. We will go back again, but they really need to at least greet people and bring them water within 5-10 minutes. It seems like they need more waitstaff here, at least on the weekends. Excellent food! read more

First time there are last night. So different, so exquisitely tasteful it was absolutely fantastic ! They are still in the process of getting everything all up and running the proper way, but the food doesn't have to wait to get any better it is outrageous. So I don't care if it needs a little more light in that corner or that table warbles just a little bit, as long as the food is what it supposed to be that's all that matters to me. The decor is cute but it is new and still has a little progress to go. I had a dish that included steak pork and a whole leg quarter of chicken, wonderful rice that was fluffy and delicious, and being set weren't just a pile of mushy crap, they actually had flavor and we're good!of chicken, wonderful rice that was fluffy and delicious, and being set weren't just a pile of mushy crap, they actually had flavor and we're good. The Marilee/sauce on the different meats were enticingly tasteful but not overpowering and not searing hot with spices. The Guatemalan style of food it's just something that we've needed in this area for a long long time. Not Mexican, we have that already at two local places and they are both great. You have nice choices of beers, wonderful margaritas and sangria and other tasty drinks. The host and owner came around and he's a gentleman all the way. He definitely cares and wants to know about everything that's going on during your dining experience without being annoying or pushy.

Worst experience this evening!! Ordered food online through their app. Originally, order was to be ready by 7:30, received an update that they were running behind (understandably, it's Cinco de Mayo) and to pick up at 7:40. I got there at 7:40 and they told me to go to the bar. 10 minutes later, someone asked me if I needed help. I told them I was waiting for my order and they said, it will be a few more minutes. At 8:15, still nothing. At that point, they said, please wait five more minutes. I was getting frustrated because I had to pick my boys up at a birthday party by 9. 10 minutes later a server came up to me and apologized that they never received my order! What?! After standing there for 35 minutes, they tell me this. I had prepaid online with tip so I felt like I was in a bind. I showed them my online order and updates from their site, was told they would make my order right away and have it delivered to my house while I picked up my boys at the party. While not ideal, I thought fine since my husband had not eaten dinner yet and I wouldn't be able to make him anything until after the party. Well, picked up the boys at the party, called my husband to check on the order (at 9:05) and he told me it never came. I called la Rienda to inquire about the delivery. Again, I was told, I'm sorry, we were leaving right now with the order! I can't believe it. I never experienced anything like this before. Now at 10:10, as I write this review, I never did receive my prepaid meal. They asked me to come in tomorrow and they will refund my money. Big deal. I'm so angry right now. My husband never did eat dinner, I wasted 35 minutes sitting in a crowded bar waiting on food that never showed up and I'm still hungry for Mexican food and maybe I'll get my $40 back tomorrow :( read more

The food and service were both fantastic. Fresh, authentic Spanish food that was just wonderful. They have a full bar so I am unsure why someone said it is BYOB. read more

Stopped here by chance one Saturday afternoon and it was amazing! Everyone who worked there was so friendly and polite. We have the cerviche to start which was so good. The atmosphere here is great and I would definitely recommend this to anyone! read more

The chips and salsa were very good. The rice was extremely tasty. The service was slow and the meat was Nothing to write home about. The workers and the owner are very nice people. I am hoping that we just caught them on an off night. read more
