    Best place so far. I have only been here a week and so far this place is fire. I’m not giving it a five because os little things. The meat was a little salty, my coke was not cold and the staff a was not serious it polite and helpful. My wife got a chimiechanga and my kids got a carne asada quesadilla. They where both really good. I got/ made what I call cielo, mar y tierra, which is grilled chicken, grilled meat and shrimp. It was pretty good. I feel like the hot sauce took a lot away from my burrito. By the way, the red hot sauce is pretty spicy. I would recommend to swap it out for a chipotle salsa. Other then that it’s was good. I will probably be back soon to try more things from the menu.

    Delightful hidden gem of the Cali-Mex food scene in El Paso. Don't miss it. The lunch specials are awesome with $2 tacos on Tuesdays all day and $2 beers from 2pm to 6pm on Mondays and Tuesdays. Personalized service and friendly staff make this a to choice for office lunch

    Took my dad for a quick bite. My dad is in a wheelchair and is reluctant to go out much, but he LOVED it here and didn't have any issues with wheel accesible challenges like parking, seating, and the restroom. We had pork adobadola fries and a carne asada torta, we had leftovers, food was out really quick, and it was delicious. The red salsa is our favorite. They have done some modifications since I was here quite some time ago, now they sell beer, have a bar and happy hour. Dad and I overextended our stay and had a great time overall. Will be back soon!

    This place was great! The food was real good, the serving sizes were Texas sized, and the price was fair. They also had a great playlist.

    Yeah these tacos are off the chain. The Asada fries are highly recommend. Will not be disappointed with them. And if you’re craving dessert try the strawberry 🍓 churro alamode 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

    I got the combo plate with the two burritos. One beef the other chicken. Both dry and not so much flavor. This is the first time I’ve ever ordered from here. So, I’m not impressed. Might try it again in the future to gather a second opinion on something else on the menu but, yes the beef and chicken were very dry.

    Always such a nice vibe at this place & the food is always sooo good. I always order the same thing, the supreme nachos. I recommend it to everyone! (Nachos have already been eaten from the pic but they look super yummy & taste super yummy too)

    We got the Carne Asada combination plate with corn tortillas, a Carne Asada burrito (enchilada style), chips, and French fries. Everything was so good and the portions were so big for the cost. The chips came out hot and the rice was fresh and tasted like grandma made it. Great food, service, and value! Will definitely be coming back to try other things.

    Absolutely AMAZING!! Food was fresh and hot. Fresh grilled steak for our nachos, and Tacos, the Guacamole was amazing. Fish taco was great The chips were crispy and not soggy even after they sat for a while in the nachos

    The taco Supreme 🌮 platter is my favorite. Their food has the savory flavor and right seasoning that makes me come back. You can't beat Their cucumber water. Delicious!!

    I think it's been a very long time since the owner has sat down and ordered from their own restaurant. Rivas must have been a good place at some point, but now it is just an oversalted, cheap quality, and overpriced mess. I ordered the nachos and the watery guacamole was sloppily thrown to one side. There was hardly any cheese or beans, and last time I checked those aren't some pricey items , so I'm not sure why they decided to be stingy about them. If you are not a local and have no nostalgic ties to this establishment, then I highly suggest you take your hard earned money elsewhere. This place is atrocious.

    Nachos were amazing though I suggest adding lettuce. Food was fresh and served hot. Owner was there and definitely understands customer service and satisfaction. We plan to return so we can experience the breakfast options and many more of the lunch/dinner options.

    Amazing Carne Asada Fries, love getting the squirt bottles with the red and green sauce. Took me back to my college days when my friends and I would pig out on "Carne Asad's" at a little joint in our college town when the bars closed, but these tasted even better than those! I tried the California burrito and that was also good

  • 5/5 Jennifer C. 6 months ago on Google
    This place is so good! My family loves the food here. We have tried almost everything from the enchiladas to the burritos to the Supreme plates. Never had anything that doesn't taste amazing. People there are always friendly. Definitely recommend to get your burrito enchilada style!

    Had a California burrito. Was filled with Carne asada, Cheese, Pico de Gallo and fries. Soooo delicious and filling. Add some green Chile sauce to it and even more bomb flavors.
