Rivas Taco Shop

​"A complete failure in both accuracy and empathy." ​I strongly advise against dining here. As a critic who values care ethics, I am appalled by the lack of regard for dietary restrictions and customer time. Despite explicitly ordering a vegetarian meal, I was served meat—a severe oversight that breaks consumer trust. ​The error was compounded by abysmal service recovery. When I called to rectify the mistake (as returning was impossible due to travel costs), the Assistant Manager was dismissive and disconnected the call. There was no offer to cover a replacement delivery or provide a refund, leaving me without dinner. ​The Verdict: If a restaurant cannot respect dietary needs or offer basic empathy when they err, they do not deserve your business. See attached photo of the incorrect order. Follow up: I went the next day to resolve their error. The employee or lead helped me. She was courteous and gave me a refund. I was able to get my money back. I gave them their burrito. I wanted to take the time to see it was a much better experience a day later. I would give the employee who helped me a 5 star review for customer service.

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 stopped in and got a burrito with rice and beans. Honestly, it was pretty bland, and I had to use the green sauce to give it some flavor. The employees weren’t very friendly, which didn’t help the experience. Overall, it was just okay.

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.

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.

My first time visiting this fast food Mexican Taqueria. Order a burrito it was a pretty decent size and also taste pretty good.

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).

Super cool that they're open 24 hours, especially here in Corvallis where it feels like everything closes at 7. I got two enchiladas and a large soda for 11.50$. I think their enchiladas are just ok, but I really enjoy their tamales! They definitely ascribe to slathering everything with cheese, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I'm new to PNW Mexican food so I was a little hesitant that I wouldn't like it as much as Mexican food from Deep South TX. However, the quesadilla was fantastic and very similar to the birria tacos we get in the RGV. Can't wait to try other menu items! Staff was very nice too!!

Meh.. it's def midnight food taste!!! Long lines inside and drive thru, but goes quickly. First time my Carne asada was Gray colored, and that was a big turn off . Stomach was cramping as I still sat there eating and I barely ate any. No one in the group was impressed... seems to be a town hit tho, so maybe it's just us lol idk .

I will NEVER eat here again! I've lived in Corvallis for 20+ years and have been an occasional Riva's customer. Unfortunately over the last few years I have really noticed the quality, taste and freshness of their food change drastically (Like their prices). I have noticed things like a bad oil aftertaste in any food that had been deep fried (like the oil had not been changed for days). And an overall lack of flavor and multiple items all tasting the same. But this was the last chance I'm personally ever giving them. I drove through on the way to work and ordered a Ham Breakfast Burrito for $9 dollars. When I drove away I noticed the smell was a little different than usual. When I arrived at work and grabbed the bag I got a big whiff of BURNT tortilla. When i sat down at my desk and unwrapped it and actually saw the dark burn marks covering the tortilla and the charred smell... i thought to myself F'n BS! I pay them $9 dollars and they give me a burnt breakfast burrito. There is no way the cook did not realize this but still decided to wrap it up and serve it to me. I thought about calling to complain but I knew where that would go and didn't want to eat their spit my food if I went back at lunch or something. So i just decided to never patronize or recommend them again. As i said things have been going down for awhile but this was blatant disregard, no pride in their product or consideration whatsoever. I would have given this review ZERO stars... totally ridiculous to serve something that was burnt like that.

Riva's is my go-to restaurant in Corvallis. Great burritos, taquitos, and tacos! Price is right.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! I got a burrito and was hospitalized with food poisoning. I've never been so sick in my entire life. The place is not clean and the food should not be trusted

3 crunchy chicken tacos and green sauce would be my final meal if I was on death row.

The carne Asada fries delicious delicious. We also love the el Diablo burrito. Hot fresh and reasonably priced.

Solid Mexican food. I had beef and cheese enchiladas combo. The refried beans were a little bland but the beef was quite flavorful. Speedy service at the drive thru.

This is a review for the business located on Monroe. First time I went here they got my order right, second time I went in, I ordered the exact same thing and they got it wrong. I clearly said corn tortillas and the chorizo combo plate, but instead got beef and flour tortillas. To the white woman who took my order, quit interrupting customers when they're trying to order. Maybe then you wouldn't have messed it up. I've worked many service jobs, it's not difficult to tap people's orders in. Do yourself a favor and go to taco el machin.

I love Riva's - never a bad meal, fast and efficient service, and delicious complimentary salsa verde. Riva's has most of your taqueria staples (e.g., tacos, burritos, quesadillas), plus some more restaurant-style plates (e.g., shrimp plate, fajitas plate). If you're looking for a quick, reliably tasty bite of (Americanized) Mexican food, this is a great spot. They're open 24 hours, too! Riva's doesn't skimp on the cheese, guacamole, or sour cream, so if you're not big on any of those things, let them know! I'm a big fan of their breakfast burritos - especially their chorizo burrito. The menu is round-the-clock - so you can order breakfast and non-breakfast items whenever you'd like. Riva's is available on a couple of the food delivery services that service the Corvallis area (Doordash, Uber Eats, etc.), and even when I choose delivery, I have always managed to get my food in record time (typically within 30 minutes). Riva's system appears to be working out for them and I've always been a satisfied (and now frequent) customer. I recommend giving Riva's a try!

I had a loco burrito there once very good This place has some good prices and great food any one that's looking for some food should come here my friends from the restaurant know how to cook a good meal and sure to make your day.

Mediocre Mexican food. For a fast food place it's okay, but won't be rushing back. Mexican spiced for the masses, very flavorless.

My visit was quite pleasant, I was in and out very quickly as I was completing a road trip and brought home dinner. Had the Carne Asada Burrito, side of rice, and side of beans. The Burrito was huge...reminiscent of the Super Burritos I used to get in California. It was chock full of meat and delicious. While it was a bit saltier than I like, that is certainly not a complaint. I could not eat the entire burrito in one sitting. The next day, I made two burritos with what was left and added some chopped tomato, lettuce, sour cream....that balanced the saltiness and I arrived at perfection. I will definitely go back again on my next drive through Corvallis.

This taco restaurant is in Corvallis, Oregon. It was the best taco and burritos restaurant I've experienced. The food was "Excellent". Very tasty and very healthy portions of meat and such. Visited twice during owr one week visit to Corvallis.

I was so hungry & saw the sandwich sign Very good! They put everyrhing I wanted in the breakfast burrito. Festive inside, fast, good. Easy in, easy out. Good service with a smile.

Love Rivas and the fact that they have Lengua! I love walking in and how friendly the staff is! I also love that they have a drive through!

Let me start by saying, " Get the CARNITAS TACOS!" they are wonderful. I absolutely meant to take a picture of them for this review. But, I ate them too fast . I just couldn't wait! They are that good! I love the Verde salsa on them. They are huge so don't order 3( I did the first time and when I got them I thought," Good Lord, what have I done!" Lol it was enough for 2 people!) I have to say I have had other things on thir menu, Chicken super burrito ( really good, although, they use a lot of dark meat and I'm not a big fan of that.) I've had the Carne Asada burrito ( delicious as well) and I had their Sasage breakfast burrito ( it was good and very filling) all of thir burritos are huge. I can't eat a whole one. Really you need to try their tacos!

I love Rivas. Pretty much lived offa that food for a year because I lived a couple streets down. Friendly staff, helped me practice my Spanish. I work at a restaurant myself and I appreciate that they're open late. Chicken fajita plate made for good gym fuel/+ hangover recovery.

just ate there or should I say ordered food and threw it away. Dried up rolled tacos carne asada was terrible. So we ended up going out to eat somewhere else. Counter help was les than helpful. Just really horrible food

I have given this place 4 chances throughout my life and I thought yesterday was gonna be my first enjoyable experience... I had a oregon burrito delivered and enjoyed it quite a bit. Only problem was, 3 hours later the stomachache set in, couldn't hardly sleep the night to wake up first thing and spew that oregon burrito into the trash while dying on the toilet of hot flashes. How do I know it was the burrito? Text book food poisoning: when you release the food that is making you sick. You damn near get instantly better which happened to myself. Get your shit cleaned up before you give that shit out others...

Best tacos and burritos in Oregon! Wife and I try to eat there every time we pass by on I-5. Well worth the detour. Closest thing to SoCal burritos that we can find. Get the Burrito Loco, you won't regret it.

Food is below average with all the Mexican choices around. Not the cleanest looking place and staff isn't generally very cheerful. Every time I go there they only give two sauces even if I get a couple things.

On most days this place tends to be pretty good. Today.. its not that the food was not good because it was good, the order just was not correct and it was a little upsetting. We dealt and still ate but honestly.. I still recommend this place to all my friends. Give it a try.

One, Two. One, Two One, Two I just want the two hot sauces in the flavor I asked for, if we can't make that happen reliably, please stop offering. Once I payed extra for a couple more and one of them was half empty. Another time one of them was what I would classify as sludge

I go to Riva's at least two times a week. It's cheap, delicious, and they have amazing hot sauce. I love their breakfast burritos, their fish burritos, and their Chile Rellenos. The Carne Asada fries are also amazing! The staff are quick and friendly. Overall I'd recommend Riva's to anyone looking for a quick and easy bite or a late night meal.

The food is pretty good but when I asked the guy in drive thru for more salsa he seemed annoyed that I'd ask for more. He only gave me 1 more and then proceeded to tell me that if I wanted more he would have to charge me. He said it as a joke, I wouldn't have been so upset about it if he would have just given me some salsa to go with my food. Lacomida está buena pero cuando le pedi al señor en la ventana por más salsa se molestó y me dijo que si quería más me iba a cobrar y yo le contesté por salsa??? Se rio y me dio una salsa más.

This Taco shop has a large menu and everything my large group got was fantastic. About the size of a chipotle burrito, the Loko burrito is enough to travel there alone.

I love Riva. Girl knows what she's doing. Riva--if you are seeing this, thank you for everything. Your conga burrito makes my tastebuds sing, and I would quite literally bathe in your green salsa. Corvallis wouldn't be the same without you. Never change!!!!

Ok. My fav Mexican restaurant is in San Juan Capistrano. Great food, excellent service and nice ambiance. Riva's is not that place! So, why a four star? Just like there are variations and geographical difference of food with Chinese, Italian, BBQ, etc. so there is with food from south of the border. Riva's does not have ambiance, limited service (you order and pay at the counter) but the food is very good. Being from San Diego, it reminds me of a childhood hang-out-after-school place called Gordo's (closed now). I haven't been to a restaurant that has the same sauces since then and so this will be my favorite place for Mexican four whenever I'm in Corv

Buyer beware- their burritos contain meat, regardless of whether or not the menu says it does.

Yummmm 5 rolled tacos w guacamole n cheese man. I asked for extra jalapeños and they hooked me up fat!!God bless these people for giving us dank food 24/7 I got flan too which is sooo goood. My other favorite thing to get here is the chili relleno burrito :p i wish i bought a chili relleno too

Oh my gosh, this is my favorite burrito place in the city. So good. Yes, the line can get long as times (both inside the restaurant and the drive-thru), but so worth it. The prices are perfect - I wouldn't be willing to pay more if prices went up, though. My all time favorite is the Oregon burrito - filled with gooey cheddar cheese, fries, and carne asada.

I tried to order a torta on Friday nite,two separate times ,they were out of bread each time,and the guy just couldn't care less.Out of bread on a Friday nite,really.

I have never written a review on Yelp before but now I feel like I have to. I have eaten here a couple times now. Food is alright and it's nice it's 24/7. I ordered a wet supreme carnitas burrito and found TWO Screws at the end of my food. I bit into something hard and it was a screw. I nearly swallowed and choked on it. I have never had anything like this happen. This is not good for Rivas at all. Watch out for any screws in your food... Pretty unbelievable. Not sure what to do about this...

Best Mexican food in Corvallis! My family and I will always come back here!

We ordered two basic burritos and a taco at the counter. Service was friendly. At the time nobody else was arround, the staff was wearing masks, the food was fine. Its not clear if they're 24/7 anymore.... at least noboday ansered the phone on Sunday late evening.

Only place nearby opened late. I got a beef tostada and a Carne asada taco. The beef tostada i thought was cheap. It was only $4. The beef was juicy and shredded with refried beans and lettuce and cheese. They packed a lot on there so it got messy. The taco was bigger than most tacos. It had some pico and guac with a good amount of meat. The beef was well seasoned. Ive personally had better carne asada and would not pay $4 for one taco.

Usually good. Been eating here for years. Tonight I ordered the chicken Fajitas. I get home and it's f-ing TURKEY! Week old dried out Thanksgiving TURKEY! I called them on this, and they said "We don't serve TURKEY ". Bullshit! I'm a retired professional cook. I know the difference!!! F-U for lying to me!!! Not going back. Way too many Mexican restaurants around here to put up with this B.S.

If I could give zero stars, I would. We had the most terrible customer service experience I have ever experienced. While we were volunteering at a school event, we ordered from this business through Door Dash. We received the incorrect food through the delivery service. I called to report this and was informed to throw away the order they delivered and they would remake our food asap. The delivery driver went back to pick up our order and they told they wouldn't be remaking it, since they did not have the incorrect food back. I again called back the business to sort out what was happening, they then refused to remake or refund us the money, if we didn't return the incorrect food (which was already thrown away in a public garbage; which I was not going to dig through). I have NEVER been treated so poorly by a business. Basically being accused of lying about receiving the incorrect food and trying to get a second order. We will NEVER give them our business or talk nicely about that business again.

I've had their breakfast burrito and their taquitos. The bacon breakfast burrito is my favorite. Their taquitos are good.

Rude and not the best. First of all, their customer service is one of the worst that I've seen. When a customer asks you directly "Please make sure the cheese is melted inside my enchilada." Shouldn't that be a hint, that it's been a problem in the past? They just threw cheese inside it then got an attitude when we came back to complain and just reheated the enchilada and threw more sauce on top of it so we wouldn't notice the cut we already placed in it to check the first time. Secondly, it's a lot to pay for not that much food. If you want actual good tasting Mexican food, check out La Herradura in Dallas. It's a bit of a drive, but honestly so worth it for the price, quantity and the people that work there!!

It was not bad but not great either. Ok spot to hit in a pinch really. Not quite curbed my hunger

Great price for the food. Highly recommend. The meat was good and rice was flavorful.

food was okay, costumer service was THE WORST. girl taking my order was so rude and rushing me when nobody was behind me then openly talking bad about me and other costumers.

Nasty food and bad service don't eat there the food stink bad I got sick after eating there / no coman ahí la comida esta asquerosa y apesta muy mal servicio

Could have made this food blind folded and the service was sloppy. Nothing more to say about this place. Better places out there!

As a burrito fan (as fanatic) - if you've read any of my Mexican places review you know I love burritos. I ordered a carne asada burrito - which is basically carne asada, pics de gallo and guacamole. I also asked them to add in jalapeños . After I got the burrito I added grilled onions and hot sauce.Next the taste test - the burrito was just awesome! The carne asada was well spiced - but not spiced as in chill peppers. The meat was extremely tender and had a great taste. With my additions - made it one of the best burritos I have had in quite some time - just loved it This place is highly recommended I loved every bite sure wish I lived closer - I would make this place a regular - at least once a week - more likely 2 to 3 times a week

Will always be La Wronga to those of us in the know, and will always be WORTH IT! My favorites: Super Breakfast Burrito with the red sauce they used to put with the limes and marinated carrots (converted me into a sauce user for Mexican, singlehandedly because of that delicious vinegary red sauce they served pre and hopefully will put out post COVID), And if Im REALLY hungry or have a friend to help (or will get it to-go and remove the chips before bagging them and refridging and nuking), Ill get the Nachos with Shredded Beef (off menu, but OMG SO WORTH IT).

This is legit Mexican food! Tastes just like home ( San Diego) and you know why?! Because they're from National City ( San Diego area) Local burrito is bomb! Carne Asada Guacamole French fries Cheese And bacon. SOOOOOO DANK! The green salsa is amazing! The rolled tacos are delish too! Bravo! Can't wait to come back!
