Don't bother! No food to review because we couldn't get any help on a Monday at 7:30pm!! Literally no other customers in there. A lady looked at us from food prep area, didn't say a word, then went back to whatever she was doing. Oh, she did ring a bell. Still, nobody ever came out, we waited & we waited. We looked over the menu looked over the menu some more. Still waited some more, & still nobody came out. I said let's leave! As we were leaving I seen her come back to the food prep area but never to the counter where you order. I guess we were invisible customers, even though I knew she clearly seen us. I won't even give them another chance. No thanks! Customers don't matter here!

Crispy chicken tacos .99 on Wednesdays!

Rivas Mexican Grill, is friendly & clean, with ample seating. Rivas features a salsa bar with two types of salsa (red & green), spicy carrots, peppers and onions and fresh cut lemons. We came on Wednesday, we had the crispy chicken taco special - very tasty! The Chimichanga is very good, highly recommend the steak chimichanga.

Chorizo Breakfast Burrito

I ordered a chorizo burrito and it was fyyyreeee some of you dont know but this is really cali style

99 cent chicken tacos on Wednesdays! I love Rivas in Vegas so I'm happy to see it's taking off here in pahrump! It's busy so prepare for a short wait. 2 tacos and a drink cost me $4.98

Steak Fries

I waited to post, and after four visits since they opened at the end of 2024, I can honestly say all visits were good, and without a single issue. I will say the Wednesday taco deal is decent, but you don't get the full fillings/toppings of the regular priced tacos. My favorite on the menu so far are the steak fries. We take our orders to go; however, the inside of the restaurant was very clean on each visit. The salsa bar offered isn't expansive, but does have a decent selection. Enjoy!

Las Patronaz is a solid 4-star Mexican restaurant in the dusty small town of Pahrump, NV…read more My daughters' grandparents suggested this place since their number 1 Mexican establishment was closed on Sunday (November 23, 2025). Service was nice and welcoming. The colorful decor and variety of seating was appealing. + Raspberry Teas = $3.90 each + Coke = $3.90 + Strawberry Margarita = $9 + Jalapeno Margarita = $9 + #5 Beef Enchiladas Rancheras = $13.75 + #15 Beef Enchilada And Relleno = $13.25 (I did not love the red enchilada sauce at all. It was too sweet, but the relleno was the bomb!) + #1 Shrimp Tacos = $14.25 + #18 Flautas And Guacamole = $13.25 + #13 Ground Beef Taco And Spinach Enchilada = $13.25 + 1 Guacamole Half Order = $7.75 My other complaints were that I wasn't all that crazy about the location tucked sort of behind Walmart and I hoped for spicier salsa. Still, I would go back with family again for another jalapeno margarita (which was loaded with chopped jalapenos) and maybe try their albondigas.

We recently visited for brunch with my niece and her children…read more We had just gone to Starbucks and picked up a Frappuccino and another iced coffee drink for a treat. Unfortunately, the restaurant has a policy that no outside beverages are allowed. We really didn't understand how strict they were about it, since it's not like they offer anything like a Frappuccino or iced coffee as a beverage. So there's no competition there. My niece had a very awkward conversation with the person who greeted us and it was just overall a very unfortunate interaction. The server looked at me and said "We're not going to have an issue, are we?". She was SO rude and really embarrassed my niece in front of her young children. The food was okay, but I really wish we had just left.

The staff is always very friendly and are willing to answer any questions about the menu. It is a family owned restaurant and looks the same for as long I can remember.

El Jefe on Calvada Blvd used to be one of my favorite Mexican restaurants here in Pahrump, but…read morelately it seems that most items I have ordered are lacking flavor like they did 9 to 12 months ago. As an example, I just had a chicken chimichanga for my dinner. The chicken had no seasoning, the rice inside wasn't much better, and the chef/cook puts no cheese in it nor any seasonings. The guacamole lacks flavor also, but I still put that, sour cream, and salsa on top to eat part of it. I will give the salsa 4 stars , plus the tortilla and chips were acceptable. Honestly, I'm not sure what has happened to the quality of the food. For almost 2 years, I have been going here with our group of Pahrump ladies a few times as we rotate among Pahrump restaurants for lunch every 2 weeks. In addition, my husband and I have been eating here for much longer than that. Perhaps the chef/cook is different, and if this is the case, I am hoping that he or she will be willing to take suggestions or at least listen to this comment. As far as service, I have never had a complaint. I have been there with just my husband or with our group of ladies that has been at least 12 to 15 of us several times. The wait staff is always very professional and friendly, even providing individual checks for the group. Ambiance is just so so, really nothing that makes one go wow! Yet the one thing that is important to me is cleanliness, and there is no problem with that!
