All i have to say is the horchata is bomb!! i ordered their asada fries a couple back and was delicious. Toppings filled to the brim would recommend! read more

I told myself I wouldn't go back to a Rivas after having food at one location that, we'll say afterwards didn't sit well with me. I love their breakfast burritos. This location does it right. We decided to hit the drive through although inside the restaurant didn't look very busy. You could tell there were happy patrons inside enjoying their meal that evening, a very chill setting this evening. Fritz had the ham breakfast burritos and I had mine with bacon. Man--weighty, packed with eggs, plenty of protein and potatoes! Their salsa de verde (the green sauce) creamy, spicy, delicious. It's the second time I had a burrito from their location and for whatever reason I didn't leave a review I had to correct that mistake tonight. That hit the spot. I'm curious what else on their menu here am I missing out on. read more

I went in to pick up an order, and the girl was literally the rudest most miserable human being. I have ever interacted with at a restaurant. She even put her finger up in my face and told me to wait a minute I will never ever be back there. read more

I had to come on here and say something about ~Rivas~ (Real Mexican Grill) because wow... hands down some of the best food I've ever eaten. I'm not even exaggerating -- the food speaks for itself. The atmosphere is great too. It's clean, comfortable, and just has a really good vibe to it. You can actually relax and enjoy your meal. But what really stood out to me was the people. Everyone was polite, welcoming, and genuinely kind. They stay on top of everything without being overbearing -- just solid, attentive service all the way through. I'm honestly blown away. This place is the real deal. read more

I miss the old Philadelphia Cheesesteak that used to be here. That said, wow! Good job Rivas. It's clean, neat, smelled great. The service was excellent. Good came out hot and tasty. We for a half and half mega nacho and mega steak fries. It was well done! Also had a shrimp taco. Sad to see the old Soarks staple is gone, so glad this place is still here and Rivas is putting out some good food. read more

Riva's Mexican Grill is definitely a step up from Taco Bell--maybe around the level of Del Taco. It's not mind-blowing, but it gets the job done when you're craving late-night Mexican food. The best part? It's open 24 hours, and the staff is super chill. The guy at the drive-thru window is always ready for a conversation, which is pretty entertaining--especially if you're rolling through a bit tipsy and nothing else is open. I can't say it's horrible because I keep coming back, so that has to mean something! It's the perfect spot for those "nothing else is open, and I need food" moments. Not the best, but reliable for what it is. read more

The 7.99 breakfast burritos are amazing. My favorite is the bacon burrito. They give you alot of meat. Very flavorful and delicious.

Food was great and service friendly. Don't know how they can afford to have those 99 cent chicken tacos twice a week with that much chicken and obvious quality. Quite impressed after my first visit. Taquitos we're good too! read more

Drove past on our way home and decided to grab dinner out since I forgot to defrost protein. Rivas is definitely middle of the line Mexican food and I'm never sad after I eat. I am full and enjoy the taste but it isn't my first pick every time. I must say they make a really good torta so I get that every time. The horchata was very sweet and not my style. The taquitos were okay but not very flavorful. The restaurant is clean and simple but the seats are uncomfortable. The cashier is always pretty short with us and will try to make you order quicker even if you have questions about the menu. So I always go in knowing what I want to avoid that interaction. Overall a pretty middle of the road mexican restaurant with a pretty delicious steak torta. read more

I stood at the counter for 15 minutes and nobody ever came up to help. At least 2 employees made eye contact with me and ignored me. They don't want business so please do not eat here. The food is overpriced anyway. read more

Solid lunch option. Drive through is a plus if you're short on time. Fish tacos had a good amount of crunch because of the fresh onions, tomatoes, cilantro and lettuce. Each one is a decent serving size. Carnitas fries are heavy on the toppings, light on the fries. You definitely need a fork! They load these up! Service is always friendly with a smile here also- bonus for that. read more

Great service from the lady working the counter; she was informative and friendly. She walked all of us through our orders. The kids and I met my hubby for dinner the other night and we were optimistic about our first visit. A friend of ours lives nearby and recommended we try their food. They offer a variety of selections on their menu and there is something for everyone. One of my kids is super picky, so when we select any restaurant it's somewhere she'll eat. Not shown was their carne asada burrito. It was massive in size! The food as a whole was pretty bland, and the crunchy chicken tacos I had were dry. Their salsas both green and red were spicy, but like the rest of the food, they lacked flavor and every entrée was drenched in lard. They were on the pricier side and don't think we will try this place again. read more

The food is always served hot and I love the steak fries. The chimichanga, however, didn't hit the mark for me -- it was a little bland but had an odd spice that didn't sit right. Everything else was great! read more

Fantastic Chorizo breakfast burrito and the wife had the bacon breakfast burrito. Was the early morning deal at $7.50 each...epic deal!

Good spot for late night, the attendant was a nice fellow, got a decent quesadilla, everything came to our car at a reasonable amount of time read more

If I can give it less than 1 star I would. Dude taking the order was so rude and obviously overwhelmed and did not know how to talk to people. Repeated the order 7 times to him and he still got it wrong. When I confronted him about it he got angry and didn't want to remake the order. Remade it anyways and still had the nastiest attitude. Fuck that dude ruined my mood and appetite. Do better read more

Way too expensive for what you get. As pictured, 2 Enchiladas on a paper plate and a drink was over $17. First time here and last time. For this price I can go to the Atlantis buffet and get all you can eat fish, steak, vegetables, desert, drink, etc. Los Compadres restaurant has the same thing on a real plate, much larger serving for $2 less and taste a lot better. On a positive note, the place is clean, well decorated and well lighted. read more

We used to really like this place, but quality has disappeared. Also, we ordered 5 meals and they would only give us 6 salsas. Not going back any time soon read more

They have a daily special menu and I love going on Sundays for the cheese enchiladas plate. If I go any other day of the week I get the carnitas quesadilla... which is fire. Their steak or chorizo breakfast burrito is also good. Don't forget the horchata! Olé! read more

Came in for a quick take out bite to eat. Upon entering the dining room, I noticed that it was empty, but clean. Nobody greeted us when we came in or while we were reviewing the menu. When we stepped up to order, the man at the counter walked away and a younger guy came back to take our order. I ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito and my wife ordered the pastor combo plate. While we were waiting, we grabbed a couple containers of salsa, one red and one green. The food was ready a few short minutes later. The burrito was a good size and packed with yummy goodness. I would have like the chorizo flavor to come out a bit more though. My wife enjoyed her combo, and complained that it was too much food for her :) We look forward to going back. read more

Riva's is our absolute favorite mexican food in Reno! Granted, I've never been in-person so I can't speak to service or ambience, but the takeout is always quick to deliver. The menu is extensive and everything we've ordered has been amazingly flavorful and fresh. If you're looking for recs, the shrimp or pastor combo add cilantro, onions, and guac is my go-to, and any of the quesadillas and nachos. They always give plenty of red and green sauce, overall they're very generous with portions and proteins! Sometimes they do forget to include add-ons that we order, but the food is THAT good, they make us better more forgiving people :') read more

I placed my order online and went to pick up my order in person. The lady at the front counter rudely informed me that they didn't have my order, even though I showed my receipt to her. She then tried to tell me that I ordered my food under the wrong name, even though I used my own nam. Finally after 10 minutes, she was able to locate my order. What made me most disappointed is that she didn't apologize for the mistake that she made. I will not be returning read more

We finally got the chance to stop in and check this place out. We went though the drive-thru and decided to order two breakfast burritos, one with bacon and one with sausage. They contain potatoes, eggs, cheese, pico and the protein of your choice. We also asked for green salsa as well. When we opened the bag we discovered these breakfast burritos were huge! My wife had the bacon burrito and really enjoyed it. I had the sausage burrito and enjoyed it as well. It's cool that the drive-thru is open 24-hours too! Very tasty and great for the price, we will be back, in fact, we came again this morning for breakfast burritos. We need to try something else. read more

Highly decent Mexican food. Prices are on the lower end and the portions are gigantic. My husband got the steak chimichanga and he really liked it. It's heavily stuffed and he was only able to eat half of it. I got the chiles rellenos. The red sauce on them is so unique and slightly spicy, which I loved. The chiles are also ginormous and I was only able to eat one. Such a great find. We ordered through the Drive-thru and the cashier was polite and pleasant...great customer service. I loved that she provided utensils and salsa without having to ask her. Recommend 100% read more

Disclaimer; I have no relation or affiliation with this place lol BUT IT IS FANTASTIC. Though the drive thru is not their strong suit, as lines usually run very long and last a while. Also really helps to speak Spanish, as they have gotten my order wrong once or twice. But it's open late and perfect for munchies. But it's worth the wait. Steak fries are the stars of the show here, NO question. Meaty, loaded, heavy on the sauces, pico, guac, queso. It's A LOT in a very good way. Not to mention the juiciest thickest burritos. Beef rolled tacos. Tortas. And nothing washes it all down better than their in house Horchata, the PERFECT balance of sweet and refreshing as hell. read more

Can a person write an accurate review after one visit? Possibly. That's like assuming you know a person after a first date. With that being said, I have made numerous visits here. I have never had a bad experience or meal. My order has always been fresh, hot, and accurate. What I appreciate is the chicken is grilled, not shredded. Also, the chips are made in-house and are always warm with a perfect crunch, which makes the nachos a fantastic choice. The staff is exceptional. On my last visit, a lady came in and was visibly upset because she placed an online order, and it wasn't ready. After looking at her confirmation email, the employee pointed out that she had placed the order for the Carson City restaurant. The employee then called Carson City, canceled the order, and fulfilled her order there. This lady came in hot and to see how the staff was patient and still helped her, showed how amazing they are. There is a Rivas app available to download and place your order; make sure when you place your order, it is the correct location. Rivas is also available on DoorDash and other delivery services. read more

Rivas Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

First time my wife and I have eaten here. Got a doordash delivery which was pretty quick, so I'd say the the quality was about the same. So what do I think? There is potential here, but also some disappointment. First, crunchy chicken tacos. Great crunch, nice fresh tortilla. Chicken tasted great. Lots of cheese and toppings and such. Only downside? A little expensive. Almost $4 for one. Not very big for that price. Now, the Al Pastor wet burrito? Not bad. But a little weird. I was kinda confused eating it. The pork wasn't bad. Had a good texture. The sauce covering it wasn't bad. But the whole thing just didn't sense to my taste buds, all put together. Felt like I was eating two different dishes mashed together in a smothered tortilla. Would I try it again? Probably not with the Al pastor. We also ordered carne asada fries, which I did not try, but my wife said were "hella good" We also had the rolled tacos, but again, I'd describe them as weird, not good. Covered in sauce and whatnot. Can't say if ever try them again. Will I ever eat here again? Probably, yeah. I'd like to see what else they make. read more

Ordered a supreme chicken burrito at Rivas last night and it was great. The huge burrito came loaded with chicken, rice, pico, sour cream and guac for only 10 bucks. Definitely worth the visit and most dishes can be shared, as their more than large enough for two. Great spot for quick Mexican eats 24/7. read more

Supposedly a piece of fish, dunno how somebody can cook this and think "hey, this is acceptable" this is why you aren't respected as a food worker and why you don't deserve $15 an hour. Oh, you forgot the quesadilla too, guess it's real hard to read. The rest of the food was absolute trash too. read more
