We love this place so much that we eat here a few times a month. Everything is reasonably priced, especially their margaritas. My favorite is the Western jalapeño and the Mango. We typically get their faijitas because it's so much food we can share it. With my husband being gluten free, he can eat the corn chips with salsa, and for the faijitas we get the corn tortillas. The service is always quick and we are amazed at how fast the food comes out. They have a cute patio area, where we love to sit during the warmer days. This is a must try if you're in Lafayette! read more

This place just opened up, so they still have a few kinks to work out. When we visited (10/11/20), they didn't have any soft drinks available, just water and tea (sweetened and unsweetened); this wasn't an issue for us, but I know it could be for some people (I think their machine was down, because they do normally have them). They also won't have alcohol until 10/14, if that's an issue for you. The space is bright and welcoming, with plenty of seating (both booths and tables). The banquettes seem to be custom made, and there are beautiful masks and mosaics decorating the walls. I never would have imagined that this space had once been an Italian restaurant! There is outdoor seating, but it didn't seem to be in use even though the weather was gorgeous. Service was polite, though food was brought out as it was finished, instead of all together. I was a little taken aback when the waiter started trying to take my plate as he asked if I was finished (I wanted a box, because portions are MASSIVE). Payment was done by scanning a QR code, which was convenient, though it wasn't working for us. They do have a handheld card reader they can bring around. The food itself was every bit as delicious as I remember the Riviera Maya in downtown Anderson being. You get a lot for what you pay. NOTE: There IS a kids' menu, but it's not in the printed menu. Just ask you server! read more

We came for the first time at 9 o'clock on Friday night. The service was incredible! Food is amazing. There's ample seating-huge actually. Great for groups. Everyone is friendly. Food came out in under 5 minutes-woah. My wife and I were WOW'd and we'll be back. read more

Riviera Maya - Steak Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Riviera Maya was "Plan B" after the first choice was mobile orders only due to lack of staffing. I'm so glad we stopped here. The decor is typical over-done Mexican cantina-style. The menu has the standard Mexican-American dishes. I didn't see many surprises or house specialties. I had the flautes lunch special and it was delicious! They were hot and stuffed full of moist shredded chicken. On the side was an ample amount of toppings that included guacamole at no additional cost. The rice and beans were standard. The service was fast and friendly. This place could easily be in my rotation of Mexican restaurants for a change of pace. read more

Amazing food experience! It's my husband's favorite Mexican restaurant. The burrito gigante is perfect size to share. Staff is very friendly and the service is fast! read more

Nice big restaurant for groups or kids, but the food is disappointing. Definitely more Tex mex, lots of queso, not much flavor. Huge portions tho read more

Sat at a booth by a wall toward back of restaurant. That wall is the half wall between kitchen and dining area. Infested with cock roaches. Saw one during the time we were eating our chips. Then as we started to eat our dinner, saw the wall was infested with them. I ran to bathroom to gag. Management did not seem surprised. read more

Ambience was good. Didn't have to scream over the music which was a nice change. The restaurant is clean. Service was outstanding. The wait staff was attentive and the food timing was quick. The portions are very large. We will likely split an entree next time. The taste was incredible. I had molcajete and highly recommend it. My wife had pollo loco real. Both were excellent. The food was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Quality of meats was great and the chorizo was probably the best I have ever had. read more

So incredibly meh. There is much better Mexican to be enjoyed in this community. It's incredibly loud in the restaurant. Like you can barely carry on a conversation loud. Service was abominable. Food totally mediocre. The main dishes were bland. The guacamole was just mashed avocado. No seasoning. No onion. No cilantro. Their "jumbo" margarita is the regular size you would get anywhere else. We have no reason to return. The only thing we liked was the salsa. read more

Nice people, good service food is not very good. It's hard to pin just what was wrong but neither my husband nor I finished our meals and it's not because we weren't hungry. We went for lunch and hadn't eaten that day. I had the stuffed chili pepper had no flavor and there was a taco on lunch special 20. The taco was a taco shell that looked store-bought and a spoonful of meat in it. I didn't taste it, as I said we didn't finish our surprisingly small plates. I didn't want more lol but I was surprised that the meals were so skimpy. THIS is what replaced a perfectly acceptable Italian restaurant. read more

For a chain restaurant, we thought it was pretty good! The service was fast and friendly and the food was yummy. The chips and salsa were delicious. They don't have the kids menu available yet, but there are plenty of smaller options for children. They are also not serving alcohol yet, so if that's a deal breaker you might want to wait or call ahead! I'm sure we'll be back. read more

Absolutely love going to this place. I have had 0 Complaints. Every time I go there my order is made perfectly. I once had a drink made wrong but they fixed it immediately and got me a new one! Very friendly staff. read more

This place is where the old Spaghetti's used to be located. The food here kind of reminds me a bit of Chi Chi's.... if you are old enough to get that reference. It's a very Americanized TexMex restaurant that serves a lot of food on your plate. For the everyday Joe, this place is fine. If you are expecting anything close to authentic, this isn't it. In fact we started laughing when the waitress asked us what a Poblano was when I had asked her if any of the dishes contained them. I then asked what dishes they had that were spicy on the menu, and she didn't know and 2 other waiters came over when she asked, and they all kind of laughed. Yeah, then we laughed too because here we are at a Mexican restaurant and there's nothing spicy on the menu. Lol ! I got a horchata to drink. It was fairly tasteless. I also got a margarita and that was weak. Dang it, I really needed a drink. *sigh* The chips and salsa were probably the highlight of the meal. The salsa tasted really fresh. The chips looked and tasted made in-house and were light and crispy. My friend got a chimichanga and seemed to like it. I got the shrimp al diablo. The ONLY somewhat spicy item on the entire menu. They did have a salsa they brought out that you could add that was brown and spicy, but I didn't really like it. It kind of tasted like burnt dirt. Haha. They gave me salsa verde and that was fine. This is what I ended up using on my shrimp. Corn tortillas are available, so that's good. Most people get the flour tortillas, but corn is a bit more traditional. The Diablo (devil in Spanish) was missing heat... it had a little; but, well, I did say this was Americanized afterall. The Devil apparently lives in a condo on the lake lol !!! Each dinner was served with lots of rice and beans. So, I gave it 4 stars because it's a lot of food and it's decent. Many people will probably like it. I prefer more flavor, but this is probably fine for most folks. read more

The food is sooooooo good, definitely give it 5/5. The staff are really friendly and helpful. I love that I live right across the street

Always a good experience here. The service is great and all the waiters I've encountered have gone above and beyond

Food was decent but the portions are small. Which is surprising for a Mexican restaurant. I got the carne asada burrito and it looked like they brought it out before the cook was done with it. No rice, no garnish, just the burrito and beans. For over 15 bucks that's pretty disappointing. Cheese sauce was fire though. I think you could find better value elsewhere. read more

We enjoyed our first visit to Riviera Maya and we will definitely be back. Portions were huge and the food was delicious! This will now be our go to Mexican restaurant in Lafayette. They were very busy but we were seated right away and it didn't take long at all to get our food. Love the decorations and vibe inside and the wait staff was super nice. read more

Just went to here for dinner had excellent service and the food was delicious. Not too expensive and the margarita was also a blast. I was sure for Jonathan was kind and courteous and really appreciate him. Recommend you check this place out. read more

So this is a new restaurant in town, but it is a chain. I'd say food is on the low end of the spectrum for mexican food. Very bland, basic flavors perfect for the typical gringo palate. Service was good, fast and efficient. But I won't be back, not when there is better tasting mexican food literally just down the block. read more

Didn't like their interpretation of chilaquiles. Salsa was good but sauces on the food were a bit....bland.

First time that I went I was a little underwhelmed with the size of the enchiladas I got. The second time however, I ordered an enchilada that was their house speciality and it was awesome. read more

Poor quality food and customer service. Rude service to customers. Music blasted while still eating. Poor poor service. Would not recommend this place. read more

I am writing this review on behalf of my friend because we are so upset by her experience here. My friend is vegetarian for religious reasons and she ordered a vegetarian item from the vegetarian menu, as a vegetarian does. However, they served beef in her food and not knowing what beef is supposed to taste like, she unknowingly ate most of her quesadilla. When she did realize something was off, she realized that there might've been meat in her food. When she pointed this out to the server, they laughed and said "It's just a little bit of meat". Since when was inattention to customer needs and disrespect something to laugh off? Yes, she ate it and it didn't severely affect her but she specifically ordered vegetarian for a reason. People have different reasons for their dietary restrictions, and it doesn't hurt to respect them. The lack of accountability, no compensation, and no managers/acting-managers present to handle the issue was also baffling. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be respectful and considerate of people's dietary restrictions and preferences! Dining should be an enjoyable experience for everyone, and this situation could have easily been avoided. read more

They were very rude the server for got about out drinks never going there again. I recommend for one to go there.

This is the place you want when you have no self respect and refuse to be treated as a human being. Staff: Terrible, honestly, if you are any color other than white, they may treat you ok. Facility: disgusting, third world accommodations. Food: Do you have all of your vaccinations? Again, if you are white, they seem to put it in a nice pile in the center of your plate. Screw this place, I hope it burns down soon. Wish I could have posted 0 stars. read more

Food has always been great, service meh. Hard time getting drink refills and have had a forgot meal or side dish a couple times. Willing to give the benefit of the doubt since it's new and the servers may be inexperienced. read more

the food is always pretty good, but more often than not I am disappointed with the service -- both in house and for carry out. the staff just isn't very attentive, and there have been multiple times that the hostesses have failed to read the order notes when relaying online carry out orders to the kitchen, requiring me to send the food back to be remade. today it took an hour for me to get my lunch due to similar mistakes. they've also changed their policy so that you have to pay extra for chips and salsa with carry out, despite me already paying $20 for my to go meal. I tend to eat here a lot, but I just haven't been impressed lately. read more

The server was rude and straight up ignored us at times and when they didn't have what we ordered he just got us something different without telling us so we were very confused But the food was good and the manager took over near the end and was very helpful and polite I ordered the ribeye but got the T-bone and it was delicious the salsa you get at the beginning was also delicious read more

I was disappointed that the tortilla chips and the shell on my hard taco were both stale. My order included a beef burrito but I received a bean burrito. I won't order carry-out from them again. read more

We eat here alot , it's convenient and usually has no wait, especially on the weekends. When they first opened we were impressed with the prices, service, and quality of food. Well over the last year all that has declined. Many times the wait staff are discourteous and always in a rush. Food taste and quality has declined, and be careful if you search prices online. What you see for prices online are NOT at all what they are now. Obviously Covid has hurt everyone and price increases are expected but proper advertising should be updated. Soft drinks used to be $2.39 but now are $3.25. This was Such an increase we have noticed the majority of people get water. I don't drink alot, so I never finish my soft drink but if you ask for a to-go cup now they want to charge an additional $0.35. Wth! For a quick Mexican type entree, this would be a good pick, but be prepared to sacrifice taste, price, and service. read more

3 stars is very fair, in my opinion, because there are too many other better options for Mexican restaurants elsewhere. The ambiance made a good first impression, but the service was poor and the food was only mediocre. read more

great food, service second to no one! my only complaint a smell that reminded me of a 90 year womans perfume. So I asked to be moved because I was thinking maybe it just one of those sprits air freshers or a 90-year-old womans perfume. (Not that it stank it's just too much when you're trying to eat) When I asked the young "manager" about the smell, she said no one else had said anything !! turns out it's what the menus are cleaned with. It may not be an issue for you. As for me hopefully the mixture will be address. read more

Heck yeah i would eat here more!!! Our server was amazing she worked super hard and was super friendly..food came out quick was right...so stop hesitating and give this place a try read more
