Riviera Maya - Anderson

Nice atmosphere and good food but bring cash, they take another 3.5% from you at the end of your experience at the register if you use a card

Recently visited this location with two ladies who typically don't eat Mexican cuisine. Not so that Wednesday. All three of us were immediately shown to our table service was at our table with warm chips salsa immediately with a smile! Lunch surpassed expectations Live the ambiance within. Seating decor bright and inviting and above all clean. We will go back!

We were driving through Anderson when working in the area and decided to stop for lunch. I ordered from the lunch menu, a special that was an enchilada, rice, and beans. My coworker ordered street tacos. Our food arrived very quickly, before we had much time to fill up on chips and salsa, which was good. We both enjoyed our meals, good basic Mexican food. The salsa was very good, chips were kind of average. Service was excellent. A good lunch stop.

We drove out to Anderson for a trip to Good 's for my parents ' annual get-chocolate-for-all-of-our-cowokers trip and figured we 'd stop for lunch as well. We really loved the Nile--only to find out it had closed down, so the backup plan was Lindo Michoacán. I was excited to try it, but the restaurant gods really were just not on our side that day, because they were closed for multiple days for Thanksgiving. So, we ended up eating at Riviera Maya. Had we wanted the same old blah Mexican food, we could have just gotten it at home before driving over. Sigh. I 'm sure I 've said this about a lot of Mexican places over the years, but this was run-of-the-mill Indiana Mexican food. Y 'all know what I mean. I got huevos con chorizo, hoping to drown my sorrow for the loss of the Nile in some good ol ' breakfast grease. I wouldn 't necessarily recommend it. Next to no flavor. Beans were not ideal either, and the rice, which is usually the savior even at a meh Mexican restaurant, was dry as could be. Redeeming qualities: it was lightning fast, and my mom really enjoyed her chile relleno. Also, the salsa wasn 't bad. I 'm sure if I lived in Anderson I 'd find myself here, but I 'm not gonna lie and rate this any higher than meh, I 've experienced better, because I certainly have.

Update: Unfortunately, we have not had a decent experience here since 2018. Food was poor quality and the staff were inattentive and kind of dismissive.
