I was working nearby, and found this place, and I am so glad!
I was greeted with a smile, I felt welcomed and valued. I enjoyed the vibrantly painted walls, and the tropical themed table cloths!:
The chips snd salsa were so delicious! And fresh!
I had the combo plate with two cheese enchiladas, and a potato taco on the side.
A mindful touch is that they use real beverage glasses to serve their soft drinks, not plastic tumblers like most places.
Service was excellent, my food arrived fresh, hot, and the potatoes in the taco were seasoned perfectly!
I will definitely return! They have a daily lunch special, may try the carnitas torte next time!
Highly recommended!

I was going to order online but I didn't have my debit card with me, the total showed $21.40

I ended up picking up in person they charged me almost $25

Do they self include a tip?

Told the person ringing me up, he seemed upset and wanted me to show proof. Didn't have time because I only have 30 min lunch, so I paid the $25 but he was very rude. I have the proof now.

Might call and speak to a manager later.

Vegans: order the potato, bean taco (no cheese) and a side of guacamole. It’s the best around. The owners, Miguel and Cathy, have a great thing going here — excellent service and very friendly staff. With Mexican music playing (at just the right low volume in the back ground) the atmosphere is most enjoyable.

Great food. The outdoor patio is great sitting at the bar area is also wonderful they have plenty of TVs to watch sports. Parking is easy. It's paid parking though but plenty of parking available. The food is absolutely incredible

GREAT chips & salsa! Fresh homemade taste can't be beat. Can't wait to try out many items on the menu as the delicious smells from the kitchen are amazing. The owner is very friendly and his staff are great with customers. We found this place by accident because we had a flat tire, but we really enjoyed our visit and definitely will be back.

Was craving a burrito. Came here on my lunch break. Ordered an asada Jr Burrito. Flavor was ok, a bit bland. I asked for a spicier salsa since the one that comes with the chips tasted like tomato sauce. it satisfied my burrito craving, but will probably not come back.
Service was good, atmosphere & cleanliness was good :)

There are many good Mexican spots in the area but Mexican Riviera stands out for outstanding flavorful food, reasonable prices, large portions and friendly service. The menu has all the traditional favorites and people love the loaded burritos and combination plates. The interior is cozy and comfortable and has a classic vibe that says its a family place and it has been there serving all the happy locals for a long time. The location is a shopping center at Anza and PCH with Ross.

The food is pretty good and they are very attentive to the tables but not many people in there so atmosphere is a little bit more private. Can’t find menus on website so I provided pictures.(new as of June of 2025)

I absolutely love this little restaurant. The food is delicious and fresh. Tastes like homemade. The chips and salsa are the best I've ever had at a restaurant. The chips comes out warm and crispy. Service is great and the menu has something for everyone looking for a homemade and authentic dish. I found this place because of a radio dj on kroq back in 2020 during the pandemic season. I made it a point to drive 38 miles out to try it because of that dj talking about it. I tell everyone about this place. Stop in and you won't regret it. One bite and you'll be a fan for life. Cheers!!

This long time location is ran by a very nice couple. Very good food, great chips and salsa complimentary. A mixture of economic and not so economic plates. Have been going there for many years.

Great Mexican-American menu. Good food. Good service!

I have tried it several times. Can’t seem to get a good tasting dish.
