Rivera's Restaurant — Restaurant in Virginia

A gem in the Springfield area. Delicious take on some stapel Hispanic dishes that will satisfy some of your cravings. We've gone here twice in the past week and I'm sure we'll visit again soon. Location is easy to find and there's plenty of seating. Staff is friendly and very attentive. The portions were much larger than I expected and we ordered way too much food, so there were some delicious leftovers. The steak tacos were awesomely seasoned, yuca fries with pork chunks were gone quickly because they were made just right. A large portion of sliced plantains we're enough for three people to share and they also have plantains with beans, rice and sour cream.

Rivera's is one of my top lunch spot picks when going out with coworkers, both due to its close proximity to the office as well as its low prices (for lunch specials) and the incredibly amazing Lomo Saltado dish.

Be sure to add lots of yellow and green sauce, both amazing...

Hands down the best restaurant and best food I've had in a restaurant in a year. This place is simple, clean in its setting but the food is outstanding and delicious. Do yourself a favor and try the food, made fresh and hot while you wait in Rivera 's Restaurant. They have a variety of dishes and flavors on the menu. It was difficult to make a selection.

I was surprised to find atole available and had hot and sweet atole de elote. And super happy with the fried yucca! Prices were fair and portions were generous! Staff was so friendly, professional, and kind! I will definitely be returning and trying...
