    The food was good. Guacamole needed a little flavor. The inside atmosphere was nice but it was freezing. Some members in our party didn’t even take off their jackets. Quote chilly. Our server Emily was nice and attentive. She even persuaded us to try the dessert burrito. It was honestly quite delicious!

    Loved this place! The Birria tacos were the best we’ve ever had! Wish we lived closer as we would go back over and over again. Service was great and so was the atmosphere. Enjoy!

    My lobster enchiladas were SUPERB. There were large pieces of buttery lobster inside my enchilada shells. The rice and beans were really good as well. Our server was courteous and efficient. The young man that assisted our server with our table needs was courteous and efficient. Overall my experience at the Cantina Mexican Rivera was Great!!! I will come again and it will recommend this restaurant to friends and family.

    We were in the standard seating area. It wasn’t very busy for a Monday night but our server was the only one serving several tables. She was very responsive. The food was great. I had the Pescado tacos. Great flavor and good size portions. My son had the Octopus tacos. I had a bite and they were cooked perfectly. Great seasoning too. Of course, the margaritas were delicious
