Great salsa. The chicken tampiqueña was delicious. My parents enjoyed the divorciado (Chile verde and Chile rojo). This has become a place to come when we visit El Paso.

Had a large birthday party there last night and we started on the patio but it started raining. We were invited into the party room and our server Luis who was literally servicing 14 people helped us. He ran around for a good 3 hours helping us. Even joined in on our group photo. WTG LUIS! Everyone loved the food. Tacos de alambre are delish as always!!!

We were a party of 24!!!!! Our server was great. She kept the salsa and chips coming while maintaining everyone's beverage. The food was great and the servings were pretty good size. I took home leftovers and will enjoy them again later. I cannot wait to get the opportunity to go back again!

I liked The Riviera this morning, they didn't have a bartender & still accommodated our brunch mimosa 😊 The new breakfast guacamole burger is sooo yummy. They have their own Salas too that are delicious and fresh! Will definitely be going back.

Great tasty food, big hearty size meals made well. I love their tortilla soup but everything is delicious. Good taste of music. Reasonable prices. The bar has good drinks. Recommended.

GREAT PLACE. Food was delicious, prices were reasonable, and the place seems clean. They offer many specials, went in their Taco Monday and they also had $2.50 Tecate. Definitely will return and will make this a regular place to eat. Very satisfied.

I met my sister for lunch and she chose the Riviera. I enjoyed a great meal and left absolutely stuffed. The food tastes fresh and the atmosphere was pleasant. There was plenty of parking and was easy to find. We will probably be back.

I eat here often and it’s usually good, but some days are better than others. It’s traditional El Paso style Mexican food. Their house made red enchilada sauce is great as is their salsa. They also have a nice variety of daily alcoholic beverage specials. They seem to have a revolving door of young inexperienced servers, so don’t expect much in the way of service, but it’s reasonably priced, and the portions are generous. My wife and I often share the combo dos and it’s plenty of food for the two of us.

They have a new menu with some very interesting additions. I tried charro beans with chorizo and a side chili relleno which was delicious. I’ve eaten here more than 10 times and they do know how to cook Mexican. Service sometimes is spotty (slow) but not bad.

Nice and rustic place. Great service. They made it aware in advance that they were understaffed. The food is good and the salsa rocks! The cantina is the place to hang! Awesome service, specials, and a nice pour!

The establishment has been around for quite some time. Everything was great, with the exception of the chicken taco. The marinade was not right for me. Mango tea, was delicious. Recommend. Overall, a nice place to eat authentic Mexican food.

This place has been around for a while so I knew I had to try it. The hostess wasn’t too friendly but our waiter was so he made up for it. The tortilla soup was flavorful, but lacked chicken. The gorditas were very good although my mom thought they were on the spicy side, my five year old was able to eat them however. The Chile rellenos were also very delicious. My sister only had dessert, the churros with ice cream and she was very happy with it. My only complaint and it’s sad because it was the main reason I wanted to try this place: the margaritas. I had been told I needed to try them. So I ordered the Coronarita ($10). The margarita itself had absolutely no flavor. It tasted like a water slushee. Then I added the Corona hoping it would help but it ended up tasting like watered down beer. I was so disappointed. Maybe their other margarita offerings are better. I’ll give them a try some other time. They also have a small bar next door that stays open after the restaurant closes.

Food and staff are great! The dirty restroom smell slaps you in the face as soon as you walk in. I had to cover my face while picking up my to go order. The young lady that helped me was very polite and apologetic. I really felt bad complaining to her, but the owners desperately need to have a professional sanitation company to come and remedy the putrid smell. I will never be returning. This is really unacceptable.

Brought my family to eat here for the first time and talked up the place, because I love the food. Our server (Genesis) was amazing but the manager Luis came out and yelled at her in front of everyone eating in the cantina section. He did it not once but twice and I for one thought that was horrible. From someone who is in leadership and believes in treating others the way I want to be treated….. shame on you Luis for how you treated Genesis. Learn to be kinder with your approach and your words and don’t forget that words can hurt others.

Perhaps an off day but this was not anything we had hoped for. Solpalpila tasted sour. French toast was not cooked through. The chile colorado burrito was good but had very small amount of meat. The food was less than warm. Our server was really nice and attentive. Unfortunately the food was not up to par on this occasion.

If you support Greg Abbott and his alignment with a regime that oppresses and dehumanizes Mexicans, the very people who run the food industry, then I suggest you stop making money off Mexican food and culture to cure your hypocrisy. Start serving hot dogs instead.

This is one of the most horrible Mexican food restaurants in our area. Service super slow. Host is incredibly rude, on her phone. Food took very long to be served. Missing items on our order. Area by kitchen smells like pee. Never again. To many Mexican food restaurants in our area that are so much better.

Been coming here for years. No more. This 'Prime Rib' cost $24 but was mostly fat. The potatoes were delicious though. Very disappointing!
