Upscale margarita
Anne C.

Favorite close-to-home Mexican restaurant. BIG (and good) drinks, BIG (and tasty) portions of food, great service. It's worth eating in the restaurant... er, we needed three refills of chips the other night... and did I mention the huge drinks? This is classic Mexican comfort food at its best; it will fill you up, you will be content, and the prices are reasonable for location. Came here on a Wednesday night and most of the tables were full. There's also a small bar in back with sports and drinks, as well as a number of tables in the front.

Cochinita pibil. Just do it!

Shhhh. This is a Mercer Island secret. Some of the best Mexican food can be found in a sleepy south end MI strip mall. You will be amazed at the selection of tasty quality dishes that awaits you. The lamb shanks are a savory sensation. Recently had the Cochinita pibil, an outstanding delicious pork dish with generous portions that will leave you satisfied and then some. Sure the prices are a little high (this is MI), but the portion sizes, quality, and taste are great. The service has always been friendly from the hard working staff. The restaurant can get busy and bustling during peak weekend times but I've never had to wait too long.

Riviera Maya is a Mexican restaurant on the south end of Mercer Island, and it's a pretty good one, too. There was a lot to choose from, with its large menu and margaritas the size of your face! My friend and I had a good time here for some post-tennis lunch. We visited Riviera Maya on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and the place was quiet, with just one other party dining in, which was nice. Located in a small business strip next to QFC, there was plenty of parking. We were able to be seated immediately soon after we arrived. My friend and I shared the nachos, which was solid. It was the perfect kind of food for after working up a sweat. I also had a jamaica, while my friend had a margarita, which was gigantic. The menu had a lot to choose from, with different, classic Mexican dishes. The portions were large, and we were also given complimentary chips, salsa and bean dip. Lots of food to be had here. Now I know where to eat at after my tennis lesson on Mercer Island. Riviera Maya was a good spot for some Mexican food, with very friendly staff. Portions were large and there is something for everyone here.

Dinner.

Typical Mexican food restaurant. Not in a bad way, let me say. They have a sign indicating Being short staffed and to be patient. Chips, salsa and bean dip are served and the margarita menu is huge. I chose crunchy chicken tacos & my friend got a HUGE burrito. The tacos were delicious! Crunchy fried tortillas with chicken, cheese and guacamole. Served with rice and beans. The burrito my friend ordered was a pork, rice, & bean filled monstrosity. Actually I think it was a chimichanga, but, you say chimi, I say burrito. One is friend and is well, not. I had the good luck to take half of the burrito for leftovers later. Mmmm. The plates came with the food and were hot. The salsa had a good kick to it as well. Service was friendly. If you have the chance come here. It's a nice sit down place. Cheers and happy yelping.

Service was excellent, food delicious, and huge margaritas. The picadillo was particularly tasty. They even had a variety of tasty hot sauces at the table. Definitely will be back.

My friend and I came in from out of town and decided to try this spot, and it did not disappoint…read more ALL the staff were extremely nice and inviting. The decorations and design definitely make it stand out. Our server Kendal was phenomenal and gave us good recommendations. She was super fun and easy to talk to. She recommended the Wagyu Tacos and the Hamachi Ceviche that I was eyeing, which was definitely worth it. Hands down best ceviche I've ever had. We were very glad to make this spot our last stop before heading home. We couldn't have asked for anyone better than Kendal to serve us before heading back home!!

Every time I come here I find myself saying "omg I need to come here more often!" Truly a magical…read moreexperience. From the second you walk in, everything is luxury. The atmosphere is iconic, the service is top notch, and the food is spectacular. I LOVE that the whole menu (mostly) is gluten free. That's how it should be at a Mexican place! As always, I started with the margarita flight. My fantastic server helped me select 4 that fit my preferences, and I'm so glad I listened to her. Each more delicious than the next. So many edible flowers too! Iconic. The hamaci ceviche was so fresh and delicious. I had to stop myself from licking the plate. The truffle taquitos were also lovely. I got the branzino enchilada as my main and WOW! Phenomenal texture and flavor. It all just worked. On top of this, the plating is gorgeous and the tables are intimate and cozy. Start to finish, they have mastered the customer experience and are able to deliver not only a delicious meal, but the feeling that you are special and cared for. Truly an incredible experience and one I will pursue again soon.

This place is great, like "accidentally stumbled into a hidden gem while looking for snacks" great…read more It's cozy, charming, and gives off serious date-night energy. You know, the kind of place where you sit down thinking, "We'll just have one drink," and suddenly it's three tequilas later and you're talking about your childhood dreams. Speaking of tequila... WOW. The tequila selection here is basically a library, and the bartenders are the very enthusiastic librarians. They know everything. My partner and I were lovingly escorted through a full tequila tour before our food even arrived, and honestly? By the time dinner showed up, life was beautiful and all decisions felt correct. Needless to say, we were having an excellent time. The food definitely holds its own too. Everything came out fresh, beautifully plated, and tasting like someone in the kitchen actually cares (which is always a plus). We split a few dishes, including the Carne Asada and the Pescado. The Carne Asada was good, though it could've used just a bit more seasoning, nothing tragic, just a gentle nudge from "good" to "wow." The Pescado, however, was fantastic. Topped with olives, capers, and tomatoes... I mean, how do you even mess that up? You don't. And they didn't. Bonus points: they're open late, until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. So if you find yourself wandering the streets of Bellevue after hours, questioning your life choices and craving tequila and good food, congratulations, you've found your place. Overall: great vibes, strong drinks, solid food, and bartenders who will happily teach you more about tequila than you ever planned to know. I'd absolutely come back, and probably let them "educate" me again.

Pretty small and cozy restaurant. The service was really nice and very attentive…read more Came with a large group and was able to try various dishes. Ordered the enchiladas with eggs and it was good. The ceviche and octopus were good as well. I enjoyed the salad. It was fresh.

Got lunch from here delivered to work as part of Employee Appreciation Day, so no comment on…read moreambience of the inside of this location nor service from employees. Regardless, their food is bomb, and came out in nicely sealed container boxes for me and my coworkers. We got this through a group ordering system, though we had to figure out who ordered what since our orders didn't come with our names. I had their double protein post-workout bowl, and to prepare I did some quick weightlifting within 30 minutes of eating this dish :) This comes with adobo chicken, black beans, veggies, guacamole, salsa and lettuce all in a decently large bowl. The adobo chicken was all right by itself but it went well with all the other things in this bowl. There was a lot of guacamole slapped on top of the bowl, and I asked for extra chicken in which they really delivered on that! Definitely packed with tons of protein from the meat, beans and - though probably not as much - guacamole.

The customer service sucks at this QDOBA, first they argue with you when you call them, they don't…read moreknow what they're looking for when asked simple questions, give attitude right off the bat, can't follow simple directions regarding online orders, and they hang up on you everytime you call them to ask them a question; whether it's about the delivery or if they're open. Honestly one of the worst restaurants I've ordered from and one of the worst I've been too. It's also dark in the store and they have catering bags everywhere, not professional at all.
