Bad Smell, Average Food, Never Again
My experience at this restaurant was quite unpleasant. The place had a very bad smell, forcing me to wait outside for my food. The food itself was average.
Given these issues, I will never be returning to this location.

Cheap Tacos, Terrible Taste
I went for the hardshell tacos, which were advertised at . 99 cents. While the price was unbeatable, the tacos themselves were terrible.
I understand you get what you pay for at that price point, but the ration of chicken and cheese was disappointing. They were more like deep-fried quesadillas with a pinch of chicken and a handful of cheese. I found Roberto's tacos to be a better bang for your buck as they don't skimp on the chicken.

Hair and Fabric in Burrito - Disgusting!
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly disappointing. I literally just took my first bite of the burrito and found a long piece of black hair in it. My hair is blonde, so it definitely wasn't mine.
To make matters worse, there was some type of fabric on the meat, as if they are wiping their grill down with a washcloth and it got onto the food! The burrito itself was super thin, and the meat looked incredibly dry. I am very disappointed; I just spent $50 for my family to eat here and had to throw it all in the trash 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡.

Disappointing Food Quality
What was my experience at the restaurant? It's a shame because the restaurant's food used to be good. Last time, I bought a pozole that was bland and everything tasted rancid.
Today, I went to buy chicken wings bulaffo; the sauce had no spice, and the wings weren't fried well, feeling more like they were re-cooked. It was a bad experience.

Unsafe Dining Experience, Security Lacking
During our lunch, a theft occurred when a black man entered and stole my mother's phone from the table. The manager was unavailable, and the cameras were not working. I was not contacted by the manager.
This establishment needs to be closed due to a lack of security. The place is not safe to eat in.

Family-Run Gem with Good, Not Great, Food
My experience at this restaurant, which appears to be an Azteca chain but is actually a 20-year family-run business with locations in NV, CA, and AZ, was positive. The restaurant was very clean. They offer a limited but adequate salsa bar.
While you can find cheaper food elsewhere, and these taco shops are common in LV, you might sacrifice something. The food was GOOD, not great. I would give 5 stars if I returned and had GREAT food.
I had the special beef burrito and added trimmings from the taco bar. There was plenty of beef, but it wasn't tender, and the beans were a tad salty. However, it was worth the money, currently priced at $9.
99 as of 6/25. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service a 4.

Consistently Good Rivas Experience
Rivas is one of the fast-food places I frequent the most. In my opinion, the food, service, and locations are of good quality. They are clean, and I have always been treated politely.
I highly recommend it! I know all their locations, although I frequent the one on Desert Inn the least. 👍👍 One of my favorites is the one on Sahara and Sloan, and the next is the one on Charleston and Rainbow.
They are always very kind to me. Thanks! 👏👏👏👏👏

Misleading Prices and Mediocre Food
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. They displayed one price, but when I got to the register, they charged me more, claiming the prices had just changed. To make matters worse, the food itself wasn't great.
This experience has definitely made me not want to return.

Disappointing Combo Plate Experience
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. I ordered a combo plate, but it was mostly meat and I didn't even receive the grilled jalapeño I paid for. Additionally, the avocado pieces were small and rotten.
The reviewer rated Service: 1, Atmosphere: 1, and Food: 1.
