Had a wonderful time eating here! Everything was very flavorful, cooked perfectly and drinks were great as well. Great variety of authentic mexican dishes and everything is fairly priced for large portions. Service is amazing and very fast as well. Will definitely return!

Authentic, fresh and delicious! Huge portions and reasonably priced. Service is impeccable and an inviting atmosphere. We’re a family of 3 (a 5 year old) and it was more than enough with just one entree and 1 appetizer. For entree we shared fajitas, and for appetizer we had quesadillas. Will return again!

Rivera Maya is a true hidden gem. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care—everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste authentic, and the menu offers a great variety of classic Mexican dishes.
What really makes this place special is the welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. You can tell it’s a small, family-run restaurant that takes pride in both their food and their customers. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican cuisine with great flavor and a cozy neighborhood feel, Rivera Maya is definitely worth a visit. We’ll be coming back again!

Little hidden gem. I have enjoyed dinner here twice already. Their chips and salsa are one of the best I have had. The dishes we tried were all fresh, cooked, and seasoned to perfection. The waiters are super friendly and professional.
The atmosphere is very quiet and intimate. I usually prefer a bit more lively, but with the food being so good, I’ll compromise.
Definitely recommend giving this place a try! You won’t regret it 🙂

This is our go-to for Mexican (tex mex) food whenever we’re craving it. Service is always fast and friendly. Do yourself a favor and order the guacamole which is served to your preference. The hostess has been working there for a million years and is knowledgeable, polite and enthusiastic. The margaritas, whether on the rocks or frozen, are mixed to perfection and delicious. They the birria tacos or any of their fajitas if you’re not sure what to get!

Mexican restaurant and bar with all the classic menu options. The modest building facade does not reveal the colorful indoor design. The service was great and the food was tasty. Prices are definitely on the high side. We visited during lunch time so can’t testify towards nightly bar and restaurant experiences, it will have to wait for next time.

Visited Rivera Maya with a family group of eight, including young children, and had a genuinely enjoyable experience. The food was impressively authentic—about as close to true Mexican cuisine as you can get in this part of New Jersey. Prices were reasonable, and the service was friendly and attentive, making it a great spot for families.
One suggestion for improvement would be to invest in updating the building and infrastructure, which could elevate the overall ambiance to match the quality of the food and service. Despite that, the experience was very positive, and we’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors in a welcoming setting. Worth the drive.
