The food was good, we didn’t wait too long to get it. The waiter was very helpful in answering any questions we had regarding the menu. The only reason why I’m giving them a 4 stars is because they weren’t very friendly when we walked in. We weren’t greeted until it was time to be seated. More

My daughter took me here for my birthday. We arrived around 2 p.m.. We were seated in a booth where the seats were all torn up. The place was empty except for one man eating. Why would a hostess seat a guest in such a booth when I'm sure … More

We had the quesadilla special. It was terrible. More like a half cooked Taco size tortilla with soggy hamburger inside. The waitress and environment is nice though. More

Great location. Great interior. Service was ok, but not great. The salsa options were very small. The meal price is a bit high for what they provide. I had a couple of fish tacos, or so they said but I could not find they fish. I was told … More

20 ppl in a private room. good fellowship we could be as loud as we wanted to be. the food was very good. Good service
10-13-25: large group of about 20 people excellent server quick preparation of all meals. And delicious food. I got the super quesadilla al pastor.
12-8-25: let me start off by saying our server was excellent. As well as those who helped him. We had a group of men enjoying our meal together and we all seem to enjoy our food. My one suggestion is though I don't know the name of it, I had the two soft tilapia tacos with avocado. And one, the avocado was just a giant slice and it kept falling out like a slippery eel. I'd recommend cutting it into two or three smaller pieces.. And 2, is when you eat it all the ingredients just kind of fall out on the plate you have to keep stuffing it back in . I recommend that you make this into a large wrap or like a a burrito type thing but using the same kind of ingredients in the bread/wrap.. flour? The tilapia should be larger than the avocado slice. All ingredients were fresh and it was delicious. I would have no problem coming here again and again.

I like this restaurant a lot, they have taco Tuesday. Also the bowl of salsa I asked if they could bring me a bigger bowl and they said yes. Service is good, also the food is great, fresh and good portions. Definitely try them out if you haven’t already!

La Ribera has friendly staff with a clean restaurant. Our drinks were full, our waiter was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. He knew the menu and was able to answer questions about the way food is prepared. Our food was served hot and correct and check on us frequently. We enjoy the food and will be returning. More

The food and presentation can definitely improve ad well as portions. Not to mention they charge $3 for a glass of sprite that was more than half filled with ice. Would try something else off of the menu next time.

I order take out from here prob once a week or sometimes more. The last couple of times I’ve ordered I’ve gotten home and had the wrong meat for fajitas or tacos etc. Today again I ordered steak fajitas paid for steak got home it was chicken. Called and the girl that answered said well you paid with cash (which is what the restaurant prefers)…. You can try to bring your receipt back and see if they will fix it, but I honestly don’t know that they will. You’ll just have to drive up here and see! I am not going to waste gas to see if they will give me what I ordered in the first place. Not sure if management or staff changed recently but I’ve not had this problem until the last two to three months! Check your orders or start letting your customers check them before leaving. And make it right when you mess up.

Little pricey, but food was very good with appropriate portions and quick, excellent service. Chairs were a bit uncomfortable with minimal padding. Definitely wouldn't hesitate to come back.
