Riviera Mexican Grill (better known by locals as The Riv) has been a staple in the community for the past two decades. Founded by the Williams Family, The Riv is Where We Live. South Bay legends are on our walls. Come and sit at the bar and don't be surprised to start talking to a professional surfer or paddle-boarder eating one of our famous fish tacos and washing it down with a margarita. The Riv is a place where locals meet to discuss our community and keep in touch with old friends. Bring the family. We are here and excited to serve you. #TheRiv

Come enjoy our two outdoor patios with full service food and drinks.

Always delicious food and great service. Made the reservation through open table (been many times without a reservation) and they did seat us inside which I had requested. The best!

With a party of three, they sat us immediately using the Open Table rezzie. Asked to be near an outdoor heater which they did. Service was great but a little slower than usual. Our server was as attentive as he could be but was very busy. Food was the usual outstanding! We split the fajitas and still had half the sizzling fajitas left after making four fajitas. Drinks are still a little pricey but made well. Parking is always a challenge but if you park in back of Riviera, you walk in the back door.
