Hear from our valued guests
This is our go-to restaurant! It’s literally so good! The freshest ingredients, served hot, with a smile! Such friendly staff and owners! Even got the first margarita served there tonight! We recommend this restaurant to everyone! 10/10 on the margaritas and food!! 🫶🏽☺️
This place is just phenomenal. I’ve lived here for 10 years, and we have good Mexican, but this place is in a league of its own. Try it out - it’s an amazing spot and we’re lucky to have them in Pelham.
We just ate here for the first time, and it was great! The place is very clean, open area, food was delicious and great service. Prices range from around $12-$23. Soda and tea is $0.99, a price I have t seen in awhile.
Chips, salsa, and cheese dip were incredible. Service was great, and the waiter was helpful with the menu and suggestions. We both got steak fajitas, which were very good. The place was very clean and you can tell they put a lot of work into it! Will definitely be back.
After waiting a long time for this place to open, my wife and I were very pleasantly surprised by our first meal at La Gran Riviera. The word has obviously not gotten out that they are now open. We visited on Sunday after church and the restaurant wasn't busy at all. I bet it doesn't stay that way for long as soon as the community learns about the excellent food, service and atmosphere. My wife chose the chicken chimichanga with black beans. It was literally stuffed with shredded white meat chicken covered in cheese dip. I can attest to the fact that it was tasty because I stole a few bites off her plate. I selected the barbacoa street tacos with ranchero beans. Accompanied by a lime wedge, hot sauce and a cilantro mix, and served in fresh fried corn tortillas, these were excellent. The service was awesome -- the waiter checked on us every few minutes. The interior was freshly decorated with a contemporary blend of tiles and colorful graphics. La Gran Riviera is definitely a restaurant that we will visit often -- and not just because it is near our neighborhood. We'll be back because we were so impressed.
First time here. But definitely not my last! I'm an OTR Trucker and I've had plenty of Mexican restaurants over the years. Including the ones down in FL where ism from. But this place has to be by far the best one I have ever been to! The food was amazing, selection seemed never ending. And the service was with a smile. 10/10 Definitely would recommend. And ill be back next time I'm this way. GUARANTEED!!!
First visit. It’s more upscale food. Prices are reasonable, maybe 10-15% more than the average Texmex around this area. Food was great. Salsa was good. Server was top notch. Huge bar. Many TVs. Great atmosphere. We will add this to our usual spots.
A refreshing and refined Mexican cafe. I highly recommend it. I mixed up my dish with a Veggie Fajita, black beans, and habanero salsa. It was all good and I plan on trying the bowl next time.
We eat here weekly. The food is always great and our server, Omar, is the absolute best! We get seated and next thing we know he's putting our drinks down because he already knows what we always get! We also love the lady who brings the chips and salsa. Everyone there is welcoming and the food is always delicious. It's our favorite local restaurant!
Great food. This a newer business and the atmosphere is bright and inviting. We shared the Fajita Riviera. More than enough for two. It came with steak, chicken, chorizo, ribs, and shrimp. It was delicious. Nice bar and numerous TV's spread throughout for sports watching. Recommended.
