Great food and nice workers. It takes awhile to get your food but it's really hot and fresh when you do get it. Highly recommend Rivas Mexican grill.

Really great Mexico food. I had the steak fries. Portions are big for the price to me. It is made to order, so don't be in a rush.

Best in town!! First time getting food from here and it was so good! Reasonable prices and they got my order right and didn't forget anything and great customer service. Our new favorite spot for Mexican food! Thank you guys, don't change please!

We love this place! Perfect spot for some late night take out. You really get what you pay for here, they're not shy on serving size & they actually load everything up with the meat and toppings (which a lot of other places seem to skimp on). I crave their carnitas tacos & fries daily, I have to fight the urge! Everything is absolutely delicious!

Most of the time the food is great. I believe the secret to getting really good food here, is to avoid the chicken dishes. Unless you enjoy dry flavorless chicken. The beef items and Chorizo is really good!

Went into the drive through. Food was great. By the time I payed for a burrito, and they have a tip on the credit card Machine, it was pretty close to 20 bucks for the standard burrito by itself. It was good. It was pricey. Not saying don't go here. However I am not going here a few days a week.

One of the great things about this place is that it's open 24 hours. The restaurant is fairly small and it seems most of their sell is in the drive thru that it has along with doordash. While it has seating, again overall it's a small place. The price is slightly higher than most BUT the portions are very generous. I personally enjoy the Tacos, Carne Asada Fries, Burritos, and Chimichangas. Definitely worth a stop and enjoy good food.

My shrimp burrito actually has shrimp in it! Packed w/ flavor, absolutely no disappointment there! The Al Pastro nachos are out of this world! The asada fries are always good too! They've gotten much better over the yrs! So glad they're there for a real enjoyment of food!
