A mexican friend of ours recommended Rivas for us to try. Said they serve really good food with a reasonable price.
Well, price wise, it was okay. It was actually affordable. But, the food served to us, i'm really not impressed by it. With all the pop up taquerias all over the city, they should really step up their game or they'll end up losing their business.
I'm not sure if it's just the location or if we came the wrong time but our the steak on the steak fries and the pastor meat on the pastor fries were old and not fresh. The meat were hard and dry.
Then we had to also ask if they have anything for kids, they recommended chicken fingers... so when chicken fingers were served, they were actually not for kids since it's a big plate with 6 huge chicken fingers and fries. So my son ended up just eating one piece. When i checked the receipt, it was almost $12 which we then realized it's not a kids meal but a full meal for an adult. Which was not really necessary to order coz i could have just given my son some of my fries.
What im trying to say is, if you're asked by customers what you have for kids, basically we're asking for kids menu. Otherwise, we can just order whatever we see on your screen. It was also partly our fault why i didnt check receipt before paying.
But anyway, to continue, this location here is not really that pleasing to be at. Very few seating capacity and when we were there, we were the only customers despite being dinner time.
Not coming back but hope they'll improve.

I go for the beans and rice. I absolutely love the beans, and the rice is bomb. I went to a food truck first to get my quesadilla cause they cook their chicken way to hard for me but then straight to Rivas for the beans and rice. Frfr, I can eat this every day from here. As long as the taste never changes, I will keep coming back.

We decided to try this Mexican grill out due to the reviews and we were sadly disappointed. Both the steak burrito and steak tacos were extremely dry. The streak tacos were super greasy and the tortilla wasn't really cooked at all so they just ripped apart. Tasted bland even with the Pico and guac. Shrimp tacos had very small portions and one of the tacos looks to be about half of the other. Mostly just Pico and guac on both maybe 3 shrimps on each taco. Overpriced for what we got.
