Food was good. Excellent Service. Large margaritas are regular size. The small ones are “small”, but they are really good.

I've dined here twice and if you find yourself in need of attention, this is the place for you. It seems as if every person working here will check if you need anything, in a sincere way. Zaira treated us like family, ask for her, she's cheerful and engaging. The interior is upbeat with bright colors and fun lighting, ours was blue. Even the sinks in the restroom light up blue. When I asked if I could get hot salsa, they brought me a tray of several types and pickled onion. What a delight. I had a delish Churro martini and Cobb salad with grilled shrimp, lots of avocado! The Ceviche is served in a lava stone pick-up truck weighing at least 25 lbs. Again, what a delightful surprise. It's what a meal out should be like, from start to finish. And if you're truly lucky, you'll get Zaira, and she'll take great care of you.

Food was great. I had the lengua tacos. Service was excellent. Several different employees came to our table to see if we needed anything. This place is our new go to Mexican restaurant. Recommend to all.

Tonight we tried Riviera Maya for the first time and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. Firstly, we were greeted by the hostess who was extremely warm and welcoming. We sat outside and were greeted by our server Alma right away. She throughly explained the menu and the specials for that night which we appreciated. My date and i can quickly gage the authenticity of the food by the salsa. We knew after our first taste of the salsa that we were in for a treat! We ordered the Texas fajitas which were flavorful! The portion size was plenty to satisfy the both of us, and take home a small box of leftovers. Throughout the meal our server made sure we were taken care of and was a delight to converse with. The manager Fidel also approached us to ensure that we were satisfied with our experience, we assured him we were thrilled. We will be back for Cinco de Mayo, or maybe even sooner! Thank you to Alma, Fidel, and the staff at Riviera Maya for making this date a memorable one.

Tonight we tried Riviera Maya for the first time, and wow—what a find! We’re new to the area and this will definitely be our go-to Mexican spot. We had the chimichangas, Mexican street corn, and margaritas—everything was absolutely on point! The service was phenomenal, and it’s hands down the best Mexican food I’ve had in a long time. Can’t wait to come back!

Wow! I was impressed! I think this might have been the best Mexican food I’ve ever had and I spent a lot of time in Baja California. The food was amazing, the service was top notch. I have no complaints., got a virgin pina colada and veggie fajitas. My husband got the tostones and fish tacos. We also got cheese dip. That was a treat!!
