All these years I could have been coming here? Well, I am glad I finally made it. It's super cute inside and the food was so good! I ordered the chile colorado and made three burritos with the rice and beans. Super attentive service also. ¡Gracias!

Ok, this place is the absolute best Mexican food in Long Beach! After reading reviews on yelp, we decided to try it. First of all the salsa and chips were excellent. We ordered mango margaritas with tajin and they were also excellent. We ordered flautas. as an appetizer (could have been a meal) they were the best we've ever had. My husband had the mixed fajitas (steak and shrimp) ... excellent, and I had a chicken enchilada and chili rellano.. so good! The beans were really good and rice too. The place is adorable and the service EXCELLENT! We will be back, and bring friends and family.. don't sleep on this place, it's a great find.

I had heard good things and been wanting to try the place for a while. Other than the parking(but of course that's Long Beach) we had a most excellent experience! Careful cause I didn't realize they close kind of early on Sundays, but we got in just in time. The food was really good, but the price was what will keep me coming back!!! It's rare you can get a meal for under $20 but here u can plus good size portions! There's a lot of decor inside, but let me tell u, they have a really incredible banquet room! And very reasonably priced from what we were told. Almost trying to come up with a reason to have an event to use the banquet room! Hah, definitely give the place a try if you're in the area.

Family owned and amazing food! Low wait times, authentic flavors and great service!! Beautiful restaurant! Will make dining here a consistent experience.

It's been a few years since we've been here they do close early at 7:00 p.m. so it makes it a little hard for us to get off of work at 5:00 and come across town to be here although they will stay open if you're in already before 7:00 according to the waiter. So today is February 16th 2025 we came in around 1:00 and it was a steady pace of customers waiting to be seated we were seated in less than 10 minutes. The restaurant was themed for Valentine's Day which was perfect for me and my husband and it is a long holiday weekend so we had extra day on our hands to do something so we decided to stop in. I chose a cup of pozole and the day special of beef picado and my husband chose carnitas. Both plates are served with a great portion of beans with generous cheese and side of rice both served with guacamole and sour cream. The posole was so very good and it was a very generous portion with pork in it for the cup size. The steak picado is very well served in more of a sauce that has tomatoes onions and a little bell pepper and a generous amount of meat served in a side bowl, very mild in flavor and tasty although I would call this more of a guisado, because of the juice in the meat, I usually order this dish at Mexican restaurants and it is not served in a sauce but I'm okay with it as it was tasty and very well served and seasoned. The carnitas were very tasty and served with that little crisp on the meat that makes it what it is very well seasoned and juicy. The days special on the menu was the steak pecado for $14.95 the carnitas I think were $18.95 but we're not on special. The salsa that they put out is a standard not hot salsa for the chips, you have to ask for something spicy and oh yes it's spicy it is a green salsa verde that is delicious. Our waiter was very courteous and patient with us. The restaurant is decorated in the theme of mostly Diego Rivera and Frida, lots of nostalgic pictures and photos all over fun place to dine in although it is small they can accommodate you as long as I think you make a reservation it's convenient that way as they have also a room that can accommodate about 60 people and offer it with table linens and chairs that are covered with a choice of three meats rice beans I believe the waiter said like $1,500. I would see using this room as maybe a daytime party as they do close at 7:00 I'm not sure but I don't think they would accommodate much more time after that for this room either but I guess you could ask it is very nice I wouldn't expect to see such a room in a small dining area off to the side but yes it's there! So I hope to come back here sooner than later to make my rounds out here again this really is a nice little establishment run by this family and they know what they are doing.

This restaurant is in the neighborhood that I grew up in, but I had never eaten there! It looks small, and maybe focused on takeout from the street, but looks can be deceiving! Inside is actually a fairly large dining room, encompassing 3 rooms. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. It is apparent that many customers are regulars. The food is excellent and authentic Mexican fare. Prices are fair. The decor is vibrant and interesting! All I all, it was a very enjoyable experience with my family. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to stop in!! I'll be back.

We've been coming here every week for about a year now. It's our end of the week treat! The Rivera family is so kind to us and the food is always delicious. We are very grateful for their hospitality. Love the decor and ambiance as well. We recommend Rivera's to everyone! Beef flautas are seriously the best I've ever had. Tamales are fantastic as they put an enchilada sauce on them that is ::chef's kiss::. The margaritas are divine. Really can't say enough good things about this place.

1) Great customer service...Hands down 2) Amazing authentic Mexican food 3) Great atmosphere 4) Reasonable prices 5) The music selection is amazing 6) FREE STREET PARKING

Had food catered. It was warm when arrived. Nicely packed and tasted great. The chicken was not too dry. The rice, beans, taquitos were all good. They also offered sour cream, salsa, guacamole.

Rivera's is a gorgeous Mexican place in Long Beach, it's decorated beautifully, the food is awesome and the service is great. We went there close to noon and had some delicious breakfast: Huevos rancheros and Huevos con machaca with nopal. Both were great. I also had a great michelada. This was a memorable brunch surrounded by Frida , Diego and their paintings and tons of cool memorabilia. Lovely place, I'll be back
