This is the second time we've come. We enjoyed the karaoke Friday night but the server only came once every 20 minutes, no exaggeration. Standard Mexican-American food, nothing notable except the high prices.

It’s been hit or miss every time we’ve ever been. My kids think it’s great but to me it’s just subpar. Karaoke night is by far the only really decent thing they have going for them.
April 2025
La Riviera Cantina will definitely be considered my new favorite place to eat in my hometown. I hope everyone truly takes the chance to try this restaurant on the weekend to get the full experience with karaoke. The food is amazing, little wait with all chaos, very consistent and professional.
