“Just tried this place out to see if the high rating was real or not. The real reason is we hoped the positive reviews were true. We got tacos with rice and beans. Simple dish, but it's smell and taste were through the roof perfection. Three warm savory corn tortillas for each and each delectable. It reminded me of the best Mexican street food, only better, I had a seat! The staff is basically all family and THAT alone says something about the care behind every dish.“

They made me feel very comfortable. The food was very good with lots of flavor. My order came out relatively quick. We talked and I watched the game (MTY vs AME). I had a great experience and was very impressed with this place. I highly recommend anyone give it a try. Also, prices are very good and worth every penny!“

I can't say enough good things about Riviera Maya Mexican in Rockaway! This place has quickly become a favorite stop for me and my fellow soldiers during our drill weekends. The food is consistently fresh and absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options that never disappoint.

The service is always fast and friendly, making us feel right at home every time we visit. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure we have a great experience, which is truly appreciated, especially when we come in with a group of about a dozen.

If you're looking for a fantastic meal in a welcoming atmosphere, look no further than Riviera Maya Mexican. Highly recommend!“

“I really like this restaurant. I like to sit at the tables and seats next to the windows where I can see everything that happens in the corner...the waitresses are very friendly and the service is fast. The coffee is always fresh. I really enjoy the simplicity of the place, without culinary pretensions, Mexican food for Mexicans, simple and delicious in my opinion, without DRAMA (by the way, I'm Colombian). The prices are definitely very reasonable.
One star reviews are a joke! What are you expecting to find all these 'Drama queens' and 'Karens' in a small traditional Mexican restaurant in Dover NJ? The people are definitely toast!“

“TL:DR - Delicious food, kind folks

Went here to get take out lunch after wanting to try it for a long time. Their menu is available online, and you can order through it, but the prices online are at least 10% higher. Go to the actual restaurant to make sure both you and the owners get the best bang for the buck.

The people working were in the middle of their lunch when I came in, but were very kind and helped me right away. I ordered everything I wanted to try, though I had to get chocolate flan instead of tres leches cake, since they were all out. They got right to work, and after a short wait at a table, my food was ready & I headed home.

The chocolate flan (dessert first!) was unexpectedly tasty. I’m not a huge fan of traditional flan; this was like a layer of flan on top of a layer of rich chocolate cake. Before I knew it, half of it was gone. I’d get this again mostly because I love chocolate more than flan.

Next was the chicken rancheros burrito. It came with a slightly spicy green sauce which really added to the flavor of the dish. Inside the wrap was tender, flavorful chicken, guacamole, sour cream, queso, and fresh onions. It was tasty at first bite, and delicious with the sauce added to it.

Finally I ate the appetizer last, which was the choripapas. It was basically fries smothered with chorizo and cheese - and wow I sure was fine with that. The chorizo was a little milder than others I’ve had, but still good. The portion was so large that I thankfully have some leftovers for supper tonight. Would definitely get this again and/or try the other one with other sausage in it.

All in all, it was really wonderful. Will definitely be back to try more dishes and to see how their tres leches ranks! Thank you!“

“I was looking for a place to hold a small(er) afternoon party for about 60 friends & family members, and McQ’s came highly recommended for great food, wonderful atmosphere, and top notch service. They did not disappoint. The general manager, Alexis was a pleasure to work with, and was helpful with menu choices, and whatever additional asks I had. (A table area for a display, AV hook-up for a slide presentation, and complimentary drink “coupons” for my guests. The entire staff (including the kitchen) was friendly, and determined to make this a fun (and delicious) event. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I give them 5 stars 🌟 out of 5.“
