We had a very enjoyable lunch here….. ate a Chile Relleno plate with rice & beans that was fresh & tasty
A close friend of ours threw a birthday party for his wife and the original catering company never showed up. In a panic we started calling around to see if any Mexican restaurant would be willing to save us and help us feed 40 hungry people. The owner of Rivas accepted the challenge and asked for an hour to get it all done. When we arrived to pick up the food we were shocked to see ONE man in the kitchen cooking up an absolute storm. His nephew was working the front counter but this man made all of our food in under an hour by himself. It was absolutely incredible to watch. We had three trays full of meat, a tray of beans, a tray of rice, fresh tortillas, multiple containers of salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and any other toppings you could imagine. He was so gracious and kind and we thanked him profusely for saving the party. The food was delicious and everyone was so impressed at how well it turned out. Rivas will always have my business now. Not only do they make amazing food but the staff is amazing too.
Overall had a good experience. Had the carne asada fries; the carne asada was flavorful, but the thick cut fries drowned out the flavor a bit. I wouldn’t say they’re the best in the Surprise area, but the food certainly wasn’t bad. The interior is very well kept with welcoming decor and the salsa bar is clean.
