Rivera's

Clearly the people who rate this "best in Omaha" are friends of the owner - or have only been to Fernando‘s or Romeo‘s. I‘ve been there multiple times and have been disappointed each time. On one occasion, the food was cold and very late coming out - as if it was forgotten in the back. On another, the waitress couldn‘t tell us what was in the soup - only that it was "white". I will agree with others that the salsa is different, but that does not make a five-star...

and they can still keep their costs down.

This is the best mexican food in town, they have the best tequila collection and the carne asada is the best.
we love rivera‘s

this is microwave mexican. You‘ll vomit. I promise.

Some friends suggested so we had to go experience Riveras for ourselves as we love authentic Mexican food. This place is fantastic! We went on a Friday night and came back again on Saturday to be sure it was still as wonderful... and it was !!!

We love their Margi‘s!. The chips and that special salsa is incredible. The meals were great and they even offer specials sometimes.

A very friendly staff and we even got to meet the "working" owners... gee, no wonder why the place is great!!!

Riveras is "the" authentic Mexican Restaurant to go again and again. We will be back often.

Very authentic - best Mexican restaurant in Omaha, hands down. They have the best chips and salsa. Food is excellent. Service is friendly. If Taco Bell or Fernandos is your idea of Mexican, than this may not be to your liking.

I have never had Mexican food like this, and I am from California. It‘s my understanding that the owner is from central Mexico, and the style of food is authentic to his home. For example, I‘ve never seen pomegranate sauce on a Chile Rellano, but it is great. This place is a must if you are looking for something different.

Best Mexican restaurant in Omaha. Everything on the menu is fantastic. Try this place and you won‘t want to go anywhere else.

Excellent authentic food and friendly service. The owners do the cooking and serving so you can notice more effort is put into both. If you like Tequilla, this is the place to sip it.....great high quality selection. The decor could use a little work but hey, it looks better after a couple drinks.

Didn‘t know this place existed until a friend took me there today. Very impressive, authentic Mexican with friendly service. Very busy, a happeniing place and the lobster enchiladas were fantastic!

I love this place! It‘s my favorite Mexican restaurant so far in Omaha. Great drinks, chips/salsa, and food. Everything is great!

Great little Mexican place that is not the ordinary bland mexican we get used to in West Omaha. Everything I‘ve tried has great flavor and if you like spicy dishes, try their Enchilada Rancheras. Great authentic beans are also a treat and their salsa is a unique change of pace.

well, it just aint too hot. The chips and salsa were a disappointment, and the 7 dollar house margarita‘s tasted stale and almost made me sick. The service was wonderful, but I wouldn‘t go there again.

I was not expecting anything great (since it‘s in a strip mall, etc.), but this restaurant is spectacular! Must order the prawn appetizer (w/jalapenos, wrapped in bacon and grilled)--absolutely to die for, and the chipotle dipping sauce is delicious. Decor is not spectacular, however, I think this is how they keep the prices so incredibly reasonable. 6 of us went for dinner, and all tried different things (and sampled everyone‘s dishes), and everything was fabulous! Can‘t wait to go back. Will definitely spread the word.

Great authentic Mexican food, above average price though.
