Rivales Taqueria & Craft Bar Wellington

I had to try this New Mexican restaurant. I’m from Texas and love Mexican food. Chips and salsa are an important part of a Mexican dinner. With their chips and salsa being homemade, my expectations were high. The chips were over fried with no salt. The mild red salsa had little flavor and no heat. Their salsa verde was much better with more heat and flavor. My wife had two very good items, a chorizo taco and short rib empanada. They were quite good. Had the chile relleno. I always try them at a new restaurant to see if I will like the place. They were a good item, but didn’t don’t taste like a traditional chile relleno. It was very stuffed with a tasty filling, but the relleno itself couldn’t be tasted. I guess that this restaurant being the “New “Mexican style, it wasn’t suppo

I tried this restaurant on my lunch break and it was really delicious. The margarita was authentic and not overly sweet which is what I was looking for! And I tried a single taco which was also delicious I will definitely back to try more of their dishes. I also had Hennessy as my bartender and she was really sweet and amazing such a cool personality she has!

Mexican flavors - spark and glow, Chiles dance - in vibrant flow. Warm tortillas - hearts embrace— A fiesta - lives in every taste! Thank you for Fast Service & Delivery!

We had a great first visit at this restaurant! The tacos were great and I highly recommend the prickly pear margarita. The atmosphere was cool but the lighting was a bit bright to start - it was lowered as the night went on which was a better vibe. Our server Nick was extremely friendly and helpful! We will definitely return!

Elevated Mexican Cuisine. If you haven’t been yet, you need to go tonight. My wife and I had the Esquites to start (it’s Mexican Street Corn off the cob sooooo good) then tried a mix of their specialty tacos and a jalepeno margarita and a regular margarita. Plus the coconut tres leche for desert. It was anmazing, sweet annd creamy. All of the tacos were great. For an example the El Cochino (roasted pork belly with a tamarind glaze) was insane good. This isn’t your typical place. Super friendly staff. Great service, the margaritas were not overly sweet like you sometimes get. Perfect balance. Service was great. Atmosphere is relaxed, rustic, yet just modern enough. Great experience can’t wait to go back again.
