Description: Marinated chicken breast marinated with herb butter, spices, drizzled with morita sauce, served with black beans and rice.Review: This option is great if you are looking for some-thing healthier. Again burst-ing with flavor. I did add their home made sour cream to offset a lttle of the heat.

Description: Steak, chicken, shrimp, sauteed with mexican Chorizo, onions and peppers; served with pico de gallo and warm tortillas.Review: How could you go wrong with the meat combination in this plate. The shrimp, steak etc all marinated nicely together in the spices and were some of the best fajitas we have sampled in a while.

Sopapillas

Pollo Alas Brasas

Ultimate Trios

Our overall experience at Riveras was superb. We enjoyed the atmosphere and especially the magaritas, which were quite strong and delicious. The food is fairly priced and the location is centrally located off of 120th and Blondo. When you stop in say hello to Jesus and be sure to top your dishes with their homemade sour cream it compliments most of their dishes perfectly.

How To Train Your Dragon 2RATING : AToothless is back again. How to Train Your Dragon 2 was a great movie for the whole family to see. It was packed with action, romance and comedy in all it’s animated glory. The alpha dragon will surely keep your attention is this one as it and all the surrounding dragons prepare for battle. There also is an unexpected misfortune, and fortune so prepare yourself for a twist. Overall, we would highly recommend seeing this one!

X-Men: Days of Future Past RATING : AAction, action and more action. You will get to visit the young Xmen again in Days of Future Past, which I love. Prepare to grip your seat in the suspense created as the Xmen try to change the past to seal their future. Shouldn’t we all get along? Basically is the moral of the story. Let us know your thoughts on these movies.
