    A pile of fat from my chimi

    First off, I ordered a shredded beef chimichanga and they gave me a Carnegie asada to me. Chonga and I didn't want to start no dramas, so I took it, but that's why I don't order Carnegie asada. It's disgusting it had tons of fat in that fat that you see in the picture just came from my half of the chimichanga because I shared that with my Husband Riva's Mexican grill needs to cut the fat.

    Pozole Soup
    Lei G.

    We ordered via delivery service. We had the posole, steak fries, and pastor wet burrito. Our son raved about the posole he ordered and loved from Rivas #11 near Harry Reid Airport and was expecting the same flavor and heat from location #2. Unfortunately, the #2 location did not deliver the same quality as #15. The broth was not spicy, I tasted the posole and it was basically flavored water. There was no spicy option. No taste of chile, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. He was disappointed and so was I. I've had and can make authentic Mexican posole. I understand this is fast food takeout Mexican, but we will be ordering from store #15 from now on. However, the food was well packed, utensils and napkins included. The steak in the fries and the pastor wet burrito was well served and on point. My family and I appreciate the hard work, prep, and cooking efforts put into to satisfy the food craving we wanted for our family meal, including the posole. We spiced it up ourselves. Cheers.

    Heating up the cold menudo
    Blanca V.

    I order uber eats today from this restaurant my menudo was cold, no taste. It came with tortillas and bolillo , onions and oregano with crush peppers. I always get my menudo from Ely's but someone recommended this place. Not too much of a fan first impressions count. Packing was great, good quantity, but cold and not flavorful. I don't live that far for it to be cold, will all the packing they did.

    Rivas Burrito
    Tayvia E.

    Food is amazing I mean truly amazing seasoned to perfection But as of the late the service is horrible. This is my now 5th time standing in someone face to order saying it over and over and still getting my order wrong. Today my family spent 62.00 on Taquitos, a burritos, sopes, a quesadilla and Carne asada fries So I told Karina on my fries no beans no pico And on my burrito no guacamole no pico just rice cilantro and onions For my rolled tacos beef We get home fries have beans, burrito has no rice and has pico, and Taquitos are chicken. Mind u I have repeated myself 4 times when ordering Then I call she says I can replace the food. Ok Ty I call back to check do I bring the incorrect order back as well she says no but ask me the complete order again I repeat myself again 6th time. I also provide her my phone number because yes while I want this replaced I want you guys to realize what your doing as your food is costing as much as Texas Roadhouse. So I get my food sit down ready to eat again no rice, and I have guacamole on the burrito!!! Is this a hard thing to do add rice. Are we making my food according to what you want me to have or what? Am I allergic? Yes did you know that yes because I told you twice and my daughter also told you. What is the problem!!! The food again is great but I don't know if I can deal with the service anymore. They have had to replace my food over 5 times in 2 months. And yes I keep going back expecting a change but nothing is happening. Waiting for a response from the owner. I gave Karina my number at 1:40 pm on Saturday Feb 18th

    Steak fries
    Elisa H.

    I have been to this place twice. First time, I ordered the Shrimp fries, with everything on it. Second time, it was the Steak fries, and again, with EVERYTHING. Having recently moved to Henderson area from LA, which has a never-ending list of great Mexican food, this place was not far in comparison. Fries are thin cuts, my preferred way. Shrimp and steak were cooked to order and very fresh. Flavors mixed with beans, guac, pico de Gallo, was all to perfection.

    Steak tacos
    Mina R.

    Came in around 9pm and this place had a few customers already inside waiting for their food. There was nobody in line to order so that was fairly quick. The cashier was super friendly and always had a smile on her face. ( Thats rare in restaurants these days ) I ordered 2 steak tacos for my meal. These tacos are actually big compared to other places I've been too. Which is why i ordered 2. Lol. But kid you not. I finished it with no problem :0 The tacos were very good and fresh. I love the hot sauces. The flavors are on point. I definitely recommend this place to everyone. Friendly service and good food are hard to come by. Y'all know what I mean !

    Chicken tacos
    Sunny B.

    Food was great, cashier bubbly. Prices fair. About $25 for 2 tacos & a steak burrito; however, the cashier would not supply cups for water. That's no bueno. Especially after we added a 15% tip on the pad for the cashier. Take care of your customers & we will do the same to support local businesses. My partner ordered from there frequently on delivery and carne asada fries were A+.

    Great menudo must ask for hominy, they make it your way!
    Bev S.

    Sis & I wanted menudo, we came here the closest to us. The staff was so accommodating, kind & professional, they will add hominy if you request it! The place is clean & the food we ordered was on point so delicious! We will be back!

    Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like flour tortilla taquitos that would cross contaminate gluten free corn tortilla chips? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

My absolute favorite thing on the menu was the sopa de fideo. This brought back many amazing memories of my mother's cooking. The view of the strip from the lower level was gorgeous. I suspect the nighttime view is even better. I can tell this is definitely a locals favorite. I was surprised they even had a few table top slot games near the bar. Staff was epicly friendly and kind. The food came out quickly. One of the members of our party had the Chile Colorado. They said it was not as spicey as it should be. I had a bite and the meat was a little harder than expected but flavoring was nice. Plus, I have never had it anywhere else. Overall a nice little lunch. But yes, the caddilac needed grand marnier, not so much ice and less oranges inside. Will be back!

I like to refer this place as "that big orange building on the hill". They take reservations; call the restaurant directly to make yours. It can get busy during peak hours, so if you can't find a parking space in the parking lot, you can park on the street along Carnegie and walk over, which is what we did. We made our reservation at around 7:30pm and arrived on time, but we had to wait an extra 5-10 minutes for a table to open up. We got a table that had a great nighttime view of The Strip and other parts of the city. For drinks, I ordered a Raspberry Margarita on the rocks and my LTP ordered the Golden Road Mango Cart beer, a drink known to be very popular in other restaurants and bars these days. It did take a long while for both drinks to come out, but we passed the time by enjoying complimentary endless chips and dip. The dips were salsa and beans, but the salsa was incredibly spicy, so I stuck with the beans. Our food also took a while to come out - I think we waited about 10 minutes. A bowl of soup is offered with every meal. We shared a quesadilla appetizer (4), which was excellent and included a mix of sour cream and guacamole dip before moving on to the entrees. My eye caught the Torta (aka the Mexican sandwich) on the back of their menu, and I got this with grilled chicken breast as my choice of protein and fries on the side. The Torta was HUGE. It was really good and packed with sour cream and guacamole inside, but at the same time it was so big that I had to take the rest of it home with me. My LTP had the carne tacos, which were also huge and also had to take home with him. Service was a little slow, but the food and drinks were excellent. I also really enjoyed the view from our table.

The flavor is on point and it's always satisfying. The only dish I wasn't too big on was the posole. It wasn't bad at all, but it didn't taste like traditional Mexican posole -- it leaned more toward a Tex-Mex flavor. Again, not bad, just not what I personally look for when I'm craving authentic posole. I also love that it's not overly popular to the point where you're waiting forever to be seated. It has a nice, relaxed vibe. That said, I really hope they get more clientele because they deserve it -- I'd love to see them expand and grow. Definitely a hidden gem!

I live in Henderson…read moreand have dined with you a few times before, always enjoying both the atmosphere and the food. Because of those positive experiences, I chose to bring my family, who were visiting from California. We arrived while it was still light out, and the ambiance was lovely--the open doors, fresh breeze, and sunset created a very pleasant setting. However, as it got darker, the lighting became insufficient, making it difficult to see our table. Unfortunately, this also prevented us from taking a group photo. Our server appeared to be overwhelmed, which may have contributed to some communication issues. For example, I ordered sweet tea for my five-year-old son, but was not informed that it was unsweetened brewed tea, which he did not enjoy. Additionally, my daughter and my son's girlfriend ordered the enchiladas but were not advised that the sauce was sweet. This was unexpected, as enchiladas are typically more traditional in flavor. As a result, one dish was returned and replaced with ceviche, and the other was left unfinished due to dissatisfaction. one of the enchiladas remained on the bill. I want to acknowledge that I did not raise these concerns during the visit, as the server seemed either new or very busy. On a positive note, the ceviche was excellent, as it has been on my previous visits, and the birria tacos had generous portions of meat. My family also enjoyed the music and overall vibe of the restaurant. That said, there were a couple of additional concerns. My children were disappointed that horchata was not available, and the restrooms did not appear to be well maintained and had an unpleasant odor. I hope this feedback is helpful.
