    Not a chicken chimichanga, that's for sure.

    *Obviously the owner doesn't understand either. I know I can get my money credited back to me. The problem is the people working at Rivas in Carson City. This wasn't the first time my order wasn't correct it's happened twice before. I won't be ordering from here ever again. The staff doesn't listen. Sir, your staff is ruining your business. They are terrible. All they do is talk to each other and don't listen to customers. This. Place. Sucks. I placed an order through door dash. I ordered a chicken chimichanga. I received what looks like a steak chimichanga. I. Don't. Eat. Beef! And a California burrito no pico de gallo paid extra for Mexican salsa which there was no salsa on it. I called Rivas to let them know my order wasn't right but the guy acted like he didn't hear that it was a door dash order, as I was telling him what I ordered is not what was made and delivered. He acted like I was ordering again. I said are you going to deliver what I actually ordered? He said yes, but I doubt it. It's like he wasn't even listening to half of what I was saying. I can not recommend Rivas in Carson City, N

    Not impressed by anything about this visit. First thing through the door instead of a greeting or welcome was the cashier barking at us that it was cash only. That should have been the sign to just leave. We ordered, paid cash which was rounded off, and surprise surprise... no receipt. The food was greasy, very greasy. No ambiance, music, or anything worth going back for.

    Carne asada nachos.

    I ordered carne asada nachos and they only add 4 chips. How is that nachos for 17.99 not worth it. I don't understand how you could for get the nachos. I'm very disappointed.

    Avoid dinner. Asada fries are a soggy mess and street tacos are 4.75 each. I normally come here for quick breakfast, but quality has been going down. Will never come back for dinner

    5/22/26 They got the entire order wrong, added double rice to a combo for no reason. Added a burrito instead of a taco plate.

    Ordered chicken tenders and fries and they gave me 6 wings only for 10.75 which was a rip off and isn't what I ordered at all.

    Great food, especially the burritos, but is a little pricey. The other plates look good, but I am not willing to pay $14 to $15 for it

    The Chorizo Breakfast Burrito is fire. Not long wait time. You get to hear them cook and it very nice. Definitely recommend going to.

    All the food is delish. I have had the tacos, burritos, nacho fries (amazing) and breakfast. Jamaica is delish. Best red hot sauce in town!

    I recommend this restaurant if you're ever visiting Carson City…read more Hours: Daily, 11:00 AM-9:00 PM Happy Hour: 4:00 PM-6:00 PM Parking: Free with plenty of spaces in the shopping complex. Ambiance: Relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with Mexican-inspired décor and cultural touches throughout the restaurant. There was a steady flow of guests, giving the place a lively but comfortable feel. Restrooms: Clean and decent, although a bit outdated. Service: Friendly but somewhat disorganized, possibly because we had a large group. The waitress initially told me the bartender was busy, but later realized she had never entered my drink order. She apologized and removed it from the bill. She also brought the wrong entrée for one of my friends but corrected it promptly. On a positive note, she graciously accommodated another friend's custom drink request even though it wasn't on the menu. Chips & Salsa: The first basket is complimentary. We were told additional baskets normally have a charge, but during our visit we were offered unlimited refills. Food: Fresh, authentic, and generously portioned. Recommended dishes: Salmon Atlántico, Fish Tacos, Artichoke Dip, Enchiladas, and Bistec.

The each of the proteins in the tacos were cooked perfectly and flavorful with sauces that complemented them. The coconut shrimp were mouth watering good! Unfortunately tonight we only had water as every drink we ordered they were out of (including margaritas ). We definitely will be back and hopefully the bar will be better stocked.

We had 12 people with us (whole family in town), so we were excited to support a local place and bring them a big table of business. Unfortunately, multiple meals came out cold (5 in total), and we mentioned it immediately - calmly and respectfully - because we assumed they'd want the chance to fix it. Our waitress, Yemi, was honestly the best part of the lunch. She was attentive, kind, and genuinely apologetic. She handled everything with professionalism and grace. The manager (who may also be a cook) is what ruined it. He was angry, hostile, combative and argumentative right away - and what stood out most is he didn't even lead with solutions like re-cooking, replacing plates, or trying to make it right. No real apology for the food, and definitely no apology for the experience. It wasn't until AFTER we told him his attitude was awful and that he needs to leave us alone and let the waitress handle it (as he is making things worse) that he offered to either take the meals off the bill or remake them- and he didn't apologize at all, then with a massive chip on his shoulder he said again he didn't believe our food was cold. Some of us said take their food off the bill and some one of us had it remade. At the end as we were leaving, he actually doubled down on his awfulness and gave what felt like a sorry excuse for an apology. His version of "sorry" was basically: "I should have been nicer when telling you that you were wrong about the food being bad or cold." Then he said, "I'm sorry, I'm just really passionate about my food - especially when I'm told it was cold when I know it was hot."..... SERIOUSLY!? That's your apology for our experience and multiple people immediately telling you the food was cold, why would that many people lie.... Wow So... not an apology for our experience, not an apology for the cold food - more like "sorry you saw me get upset while I told you you were wrong." Food mistakes happen. How management handles them is what matters - and this was handled terribly. We won't be returning, and I'm sharing this so others know what to expect. Again, Yemi was great - she deserved way more support than she got.
