We had really attentive and enthusiastic customer service from the two young folks up front. I forgot people could look happy to be at work!The menu is so creative and so reasonably priced. I had the Surf and Turf fries and my husband had the shrimp quesadilla. The shrimp were good sized, and the quesadilla looked like half a pizza! My fries were also really good. My son had the Cheeto burrito with carne asada, and it was about the size of him! The decor has an overall cool and open vibe. Loved it.

Love that this place has a drive thru! We only venture to east EP once a week for an appointment, but we make sure to check this place out often! Everything is so fresh and filling, absolutely delicious. Definitely get the chips and gauc! Service is always fast and friendly. We usually do the drive thru and are in and out - but there is an inside if you'd like to dine in!

I was excited to try Rivas Taco Shop after seeing they have the Cali burrito on their menu. I was born and raised in SoCal so I've had plenty of Cali burritos in my lifetime and was happy to see a place in El Paso that offered it.The spot is big and clean. Plenty of tables for customers and it was decorated nicely. The girl taking our order was very friendly and helpful when I asked for their sizing of sides.My husband ordered the shrimp quesadilla, he has yet to try it so no comment on that as of yet. We decided to share the Cali burrito and the carne asada fries. I will say that the portions are a good size! Good enough for sharing. I ordered the Cali burrito with sour cream and the carne asada fries with no beans. My husband did state that he liked the burrito, which I agree it was pretty good.The fries were a letdown though. I think both my husband and I didn't care too much for them. The carne asada was a bit chewy, kind of made it difficult to eat. I will also add that we both got sides of sour cream and it tasted off to us. Very watery consistency and just didn't really taste like sour cream, not sure what it was but it kind of threw off my meal.Overall I'm not sure I would come back. We spent over $40 for our food and I personally don't feel the quality and taste of the food was worth it. But that's just my opinion. I will continue to search for a good Mexican spot in El Paso. Rivas was decent, but I wouldn't say I loved their food. I may just have high expectations though.

I've got an update about my all-time favorite Cali-style taco spot, Rivas Taco Shop. It got sold a little while back, and let me tell you, things have definitely changed and not for the better. The hot sauce that I used to buy and take home? Well, it's just not the same anymore. It has become super bland and watery. It used to have this amazing flavor, but now it's just missing that special kick. I actually had to add salt to give the dish some flavor, everything was so bland. The pico de gallo was weirdly sweet, I think they added too many onions. I asked if they recently changed chefs but everyone is the same so I'm not sure if they changed the recipes. I know they added new items like fried pickles and street tacos. I'm really bummed out about this. Rivas was my go-to place for people who wanted to try out some legit Cali-style tacos and burritos, and the hot sauce was a major part of that whole experience. I can't recommend them anymore because I couldn't even finish this $8 plate. -TODOELPASO

This place is cheap but tasty! Honestly, I couldn't believe I was able to pay $34 (including tax) for:One HUGE 1/2 pound California burrito A HUGE 1/2 pound carnitas burrito with a side of rice and refried beans2 kids meals (bean/cheese burrito with fries)It is kind of out of the way from the center of El Paso, but service is fast (about 5 minutes). You can also call in your order ahead of time or even use the fun drive through window to extra speed.You can either get your order to go or eat at one of the many tables after you order your meal at the cashier counter.I would come again if I were in the area!

I am originally from San Diego ca, just moved here to bliss and I was so upset I could not find good Mexican food or anyone that did carniasada fries. Well I would say we found our spot everything was flavorful and good the only thing is the fries were big and soggy the traditional Cali way is shoe string fries. Unfortunately this place is 26 mins away from us but we got it through door dash. If you're from Cali I would def try this place out!

As a visitor from Chicago and in town for a few days, I asked a friend where I could get some good food. He was quick to answer, "Rivas on Zaragoza". I tried their steak and eggs burrito with hot sauce on the side. Their menu was intricate, but the cashier was incredibly helpful, walking me through it, answering all my questions, and even suggesting his favorite. I trusted his recommendation, and he was spot on.The inside of the restaurant was clean and spacious, reminiscent of a popular Baja Cali/Mexi Cali spot on the West Coast, but with a distinct EPT twist. I also ordered the Carne Asada Fries, which were better than expected--quite a feat since my expectations were already high.This place is fantastic for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can swing by on Monday and Thursday nights to catch a game on their TVs, enjoy a draft beer, and savor some great food. Highly recommended! Check this place out. Come alone, with a friend, or with your family--either way, you won't be disappointed.
