Rivera's — Restaurant in Long Beach

My wife and I have been going to this quaint little restaurant for close to 20 years, and we have not been disappointed yet. The food is superb, as we started off going in for burritos and have now elevated our palates to Fajitas, Pozole, Chili Colorado, and Chili Verde (all recommended dishes by the way). Rivera's is a family run business where they pride themselves on excellent customer service. Since we've been going for so long, we have met the entire immediate family, and we are all so happy when we see each other. Rivera's also caters, something that they have done for our family and jobs many times. Additionally, they have a space available adjacent to the restaurant for small parties, which we have also used several times for baby showers and surprise birthday parties. I recommend this restaurant 10 out of 10. When you get there, please enjoy the music, all of the art on the walls, and ask for George; tell him that Ray and Mari sent you. P.S. Please don't be deterred by the price, as the $50 to $100 per person was because we ordered Guacamole, 2 cups of Pozole, 2 Mango Margaritas, Combo Fajitas, and Chili Verde. We also ordered a cup of Pozole to go and Flan. Our price was much closer to $50 per person than $100. The food is quite affordable for the amount that you receive and...

I am writing this review to express my deepest gratitude for Rivera’s Catering, who went above and beyond for my wedding this past weekend. They weren’t just caterers; they treated us like family. From start to finish, their kindness and professionalism were unmatched. No matter what unexpected issues came up, they handled everything with grace and without hesitation.

When we had an unexpected problem with the venue’s linens, George and Ana immediately stepped in to help, providing extra linens without a second thought. Their quick thinking and willingness to go the extra mile saved us from what could have been a stressful situation.

As for the food—our guests are still raving about it! The beef Colorado was a huge hit, and many of our friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. We also requested coffee for our reception, and Rivera's graciously provided it, adding a warm and personal touch that we truly appreciated.

I honestly can’t thank Rivera’s enough for their generosity, impeccable service, and attention to detail. If you’re looking for a caterer who not only delivers amazing food but also treats you with care and kindness, I highly recommend Rivera’s Catering. They will...

I've lived in Long Beach for 10 years now, and never bothered to try this place out... shame on me! Finally visited last week since I heard they had a good wet burrito. I was not expecting to visit a place with amazing decor and atmosphere. This place is easy to miss given how busy 7th street is. The neighborhood is a bit run-down and parking may be a small challenge, but don't let that stop you from giving this place a shot. As soon as you walk in, you're surrounded by classic Mexican pictures, decorations, and an overall amazing atmosphere that takes you back to simpler times. They have an express entrance for to-go orders and one for the actual sit-down restaurant. My server was incredibly kind and attentive. I ordered the wet burrito and got a sizable portion. It had the perfect ratios of meat, sauce, cheese, and rice. The server brought a load of chips and salsa, which is always appreciated. It was also a nice touch to see that they had Bohemia. Not many Mexican restaurants in the area have that beer, so I definitely ordered one. As good as the burrito was, the flan stole the show. Everything from the presentation, freshness, to quality was unbelievable. Great place to visit and I look forward to...
