Rivas Taco Shop

It's pretty good. Filling and well made. Not sloppy like fast food. About 10 bucks for a large burrito 🌯. Football ⚽️ on the TV kinda loud bury they have outdoor seating too.

I was driving Uber. I picked up a customer at the portland airport and brought him all the way to corvallis. After dropping off the customer, I had to drive all around town looking for an open gas station. Pretty much everything in this town is closed at  3 a m. Except Chevron gas station and Rivas taco shop. Open twenty-four hours are some of my favorite words in the english language. So after filling my tank, I stopped by at Rivas for 2 adobada tacos. I've eaten here before. Many years ago. But I could not remember how the food tasted. But it didn't matter. Rivas is the only game in town at 3:30 AM. My tacos looked and smelled good. I asked or red salsa and got green salsa. But that's okay. The first bite I took had no salsa at all. I wanted to test the flavor before I put salsa on. Honestly, it smelled and looked better than it tasted. Not to say that it tasted bad, but it didn't taste as good as I expected. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would give Rivas a 4. Just one point better than Chipotle. The pork was only mildly seasoned. And the texture was nice and soft. I did see guacamole on my taco, but I did not really taste it. Same with the Pico de gallo. The green salsa was ok. It was raining heavily this monday morning, and I did not want to sit there at the drive-through with my window open. I only glanced at the taco prices, which I thought were three dollars per taco. I ordered 2 tacos and a medium Coke for $12. So I'm guessing that $3 was $5. I can only speak on the adobada tacos. They aren't worth it.

Pretty good food and quantity for the price. Ordered the carne asada fries which was very heavy for one person. We also ordered carne asada nachos and that too was quite alot despite ordering a small plate.

I went here because I was craving simple chips and guacamole. How can you go wrong with chips and guac, I thought. Even if it had been store-bought quality guacamole I would have been happy. I was shocked to find that guacamole can be made into an absolute abomination. First of all, the menu item was called chips and guacamole and cheese, so I asked for no cheese. The item came out almost nacho style, with warm chips and a spicy green sauce poured all over the chips. There was no dipping. The sauce vaguely resembled guacamole, but it was a warm, runny, homogeneous sauce. Someone might have enjoyed this, but it should not be called chips and guacamole (and cheese).

The middle of my taquitos were cold, the taco salad was super watery, the chips and salsa had no salsa but rather dry Pico de gallo, and the tamales were too salty and smothered in the sauce. The horchata was good. Service was fast and the staff was nice.

I dunno this is mostly for The Loco Burrito and their verde sauce which is all I ever order but holy moly you try it and then see if you bother trying something else. Why mess with perfection?

food here is good it's inexpensive and fast service. The only downside that I came across and this is for most restaurants that sell tacos they need to put the corn tortilla on the grill a little bit of oil even for a minute to add a little bit of char. But otherwise I'll keep going food's good

Really is just a small quaint place with a drive-thru that is open at all hours of the night. Food is what is expected of it. Service was quick and ordering was easy. There is some parking in the morning but at weekend nights parking is limited. Costs more than hamburger fast food joint.. Costs are similar to dine-in Mexican restaurants which is okay because portions are large and food is delicious. The service is diligent, communication is clearland concise. Although, I consistently feel like the customer service isn't warm nor personal (lacks human touch, friendliness,) when interacting with me. No welcome phrase or greeting used but efficient.
