    Announcement: TAAACOOOOS! Oh, dear taco-lover extraordinaire, how fortunate are we to have stumbled upon this magnificent establishment offering the divine weekly 99 cent taco deal on Wednesdays!!! The anticipation each week must be absolutely unbearable, as you count down the days until you can once again partake in this gastronomic wonderland. Oh, how we envy your undying love for these humble tortilla-wrapped treasures and your unparalleled enthusiasm for frequenting such a fine dining establishment. Truly, your deep and profound appreciation for the art of taco consumption is an inspiration to us all. I am ecstatic that there are places left with tacos deals, they are so few and far between now and i haven't found many QUALITY places for 99 cents! The tacos here are very tasty. Come get some before i buy them all up!

    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.

    Steak fries

    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.

    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 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

    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.

    I'd give this place ZERO stars if I could!…read more We literally just walked out after sitting there for AN HOUR without our food. We tried to be patient and gave them plenty of time, but when we noticed that multiple parties who were seated AFTER us had already received their meals, we finally asked our waitress if there was an issue with our order. Her response? "It takes longer to cook the steaks and lobster." Okay... but how long exactly? Because people who ordered AFTER us were eating while we were still sitting there waiting. And yes, we noticed the difference because when we were seated, there was no one else in that section. What made the whole situation even more annoying was that every table seated after us was Hispanic/Latino, and they all received their food before we did. We're Polynesian, so at that point, we couldn't help but wonder if we were being treated differently because of how we look. Plot twist: WE'RE MEXICAN TOO. ‍ Whether it was intentional or just terrible service, the experience was unacceptable. If you're going to make customers wait an hour, at least communicate with them instead of leaving them sitting there wondering what the hell is going on. Needless to say, we left hungry and won't be coming back. SMMFH. Aikae pendejo!!!

The inside is decorated very festive but a bit on the gaudy side. Nice music was playing. It wasn't crowded and not noisy. We were greeted immediately and seated. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. The menu is quite extensive but we were able to make our choices with assistance from our server. The prices are comparable with other Mexican restaurants we've visited recently. However, they are not very gracious with their complimentary chips and salsa allowing one small bowl of chips and two very small bowls of salsa and bean dip. Additional is $4.00 and definitely not worth it. We thought it was ridiculous and if they didn't make customers pay for refills or give more to accommodate the entire party, they would be perfect! The food was hot, fresh and very flavorful. The portions were generous. They do have a combination fajitas for two but the combination only consists of 2 meats. We just can't seem to find a restaurant that does combination fajitas the way Coyotes did. But, they were absolutely the best we've had since Coyotes. The consensus was that we will definitely come back to this restaurant.

The first time, back in May, we ended up leaving before even ordering because no one ever came to serve us. We decided to give them another chance yesterday after staying away for a while, and it was somehow even more disappointing. We sat at the bar, where the bartender was serving drinks and tables all around us. He never greeted us or acknowledged that we were there. After waiting over 10 minutes while watching him take second drink orders from other tables, I finally walked over and told him what we wanted since he was already making several margaritas. His response was essentially that he was busy and didn't care. Eventually, someone brought us chips and salsa, and then the manager came over with another basket of chips and salsa, apparently unaware we had already been served. We explained that we had been sitting there for over 10 minutes without anyone helping us and shared that this was exactly why we had stopped coming. The manager's response was that she had only been there for three months, which unfortunately just reinforced what we've noticed for a long time--constant turnover in both management and staff. As someone who has worked in customer service, this wasn't just about being busy. It's about timing and prioritizing. New guests should be greeted promptly, even if it's just a quick, "I'll be right with you." If the bartender was already making multiple drinks, he could have taken drink orders from everyone, including us, and prepared them together instead of repeatedly going back and forth between the same tables while completely ignoring new customers. We ended up having one margarita and leaving without ordering food. That's now two consecutive visits where we walked out because of poor service. It's disappointing because we genuinely loved this place when it first opened. The margaritas are still good, but the food is average, and the consistently poor service has become impossible to overlook. Judging by the number of similar reviews and management responses, it seems there are ongoing internal issues that haven't been resolved. After giving this restaurant multiple chances, we won't be returning. I hope they can turn things around, but based on our experience, I can't recommend spending your time or money here.

After our last trip when we received absolutely crap service and the manager tried to make it right by comping us, she indicated that the next meal "was on her" and urged us to come back "and give them another chance".. I took her at her word and contacted the restaurant to let her know that I was going to bring my wife and her parents to the restaurant for her birthday. So I contacted the restaurant and informed them that we wanted a reservation for four and that was my wife's birthday. I was contacted and told that they would do something special. We showed up and the front girl was "perfunctory at best". We were seated and waited 20 minutes before we received any water or chips. However, the staff was busy bustling to set this large table in the middle of the dining room for a group that wouldn't show up for 10 minutes. They literally had their chips, salsa, water etc. 10 minutes before we did and we weren't even there. When we did get a waitress she was perfunctory and less than friendly. When I told her we were there for my wife's birthday her answer was "oh that's nice". Far cry from "we will make the evening special for you". We got our food which was fine but absolutely nothing. Throughout the meal the waitress spent all of her time chatting with the large group in the middle - obviously her friends or whatever because they got five star service while we were simply ignored. If we wanted to get a refill of a glass of water or in my father-in-law's case, some sour cream, had to literally get up and pull her away from her buddy table to get service. In addition, not a happy birthday, dessert nothing. So much for trusting the manager when she said that she was going to comp the meal or even at the minimum do something to celebrate the birthday. If we went to something as mundane as Applebee's my wife would've got a piece of cheesecake lol. Very disappointed in this place. We love the food but the service is just crap.
