Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I absolutely LOVE this location. The ownership (also the staff) have been exceedingly courteous to not only myself... but the several friends I've directed to their establishment. I couldn't offer higher praise to a taco shop than I am for Rivas on 99. I've never tried the Willamette location, but I've recently dined at their Corvallis restaurant--and found it to be consistent with the 99 location. I generally order one of 5 dishes (with the "monster" carne Asada burrito not being on the menu)... the monster carne asada burrito, the shredded beef nachos, 5 beef tacos w/sour cream, the chimichanga, or the carnitas, with the burrito and tacos winning out the majority of the time. I've also had their loaded quesadilla = VERY yummy. That monster burrito is just amazing though. I've sent a few friends to try it, and all have sent others as a result. It's gotten to the point where the owner now informs me of which of my friends just dropped by for said burrito. He usually stuffs some napkins in his sleeves and "flexes" his muscles for me, too. Always a laugh with that guy. Quite a character. I generally support any place wherein the people are pleasant and seem to care about what they're doing... the staff here at Rivas has exceeded what I think that might look like. And their food always leaves me with a budget struggle. At $10 per "monster" burrito... I sometimes really have to budget the 3-5 I eat per week. In summary, I really appreciate how well this place operates, and love the food and banter offered within. They do a good job of keeping the food handling areas and dining areas clean. I've eaten here enough to make a solid assessment of this. If you've seen their establishment in any less than reasonable conditions... I'd be confident in saying it wasn't the norm, and/or you're the most unreasonable kind of person there is. If you want some delicious and reasonably priced food... give these folks a shot. They've certainly got my business, as long as they're around.

The Rivas location in downtown Eugene is pretty skeevy and notorious for bad service. This one opened fairly recently, but aside from the better atmosphere, doesn't have much to recommend it. I ordered taquitos as a combo at lunch, and received five large rolls topped with lettuce and tomato, no rice or beans. Though it was plenty of food at a reasonable price, it was quite dry and bland. Not even green salsa, which usually perks up any Mexican dish in my book, did much to help. You can definitely do better than this place.

Went right before lunch. Busy even then, that's why I went. Great service! Had 2 different kinds of tacos. Average. Thought it'd be great with all the people. Prices were good,

Love the muchacca burrito! Clean restaurant and friendly service. My favorite taco shop around. Sometimes the little places are the best.

Riva's opened up a new store on Hwy 99 so I decided to try it... with apprehension. The Riva's on Willamette is hit and miss at best. I will say one thing about Riva's though, which is the reason I continue to go there, is that they make a proper hard shell taco. All those Mexican places that sell you a 'hard' taco in a pre-fab shell (ESPECIALLY the taqueria's who are supposed to specialize in tacos) are a massive disappointment and have no right to call themselves authentic. Authentic shredded beef 'hard' shell taco: A REAL corn tortilla filled with meat, held together with toothpicks, and deep fried until crispy. Drained as well as possible then stuffed with veggies and cheese. Don't like your delicious, properly made taco a little greasy? F*** off and go to Taco Bell. Now... on to my experience. The tacos tasted fresher... much fresher than the store on Willamette but you can certainly tell they're from Riva's. Is that good or bad? Well.... on a good day Riva's tacos kick ass. On a bad day, well, let's just say I've chucked my $7 lunch into the trash more than once. The rice is still hopelessly lacking flavor. The beans were good. Better than the store on Willamette for sure. You still get a ton of food for a low price, which is good and it's fairly close to work and on the way home so I'm sure I'll become somewhat of a regular.

The BEST Mexican food in town! Fast, friendly service and decent prices. Don't even bother going anywhere else.
