Best Guacamole EVER!. Riviera Maya is one of those restaurants I'd categorize under really GOOD Mexican. Not fantastic, but definitely good and reliable. What makes it really GOOD and not just good? FRESH GUACAMOLE and JALEPENO MARGARITAS. Yep, both take the award home for best I've ever had!<br/ <br/ The guacamole is made fresh at your table, exactly as you like it. Choose from any or all of the typical ingredients: onions, cilantro, tomato, salt, pepper, fresh-squeeze lime juice, and jalapenos to go as spicy (more please) or as mild (lame) as you want. The finished masterpiece is served up in a heavy stone bowl placed in the center of the table (or right in front of my face if you're dinin...
VIva Riviera Maya!. Tried this restaurant for the first time last night and was very impressed--hip atmosphere, great Margaritas, friendly wait staff...and truly amazing Mexican food.<br/ <br/ I was once of the opinion that it's not worth spending more than lunch money on Mexican, but Riviera Maya has changed my mind. Whatever spices and impeccably fresh ingredients they are putting in the food over there on Summer street, it's more than enough to make me shell out a little extra and keep coming back. Not to say it's expensive--you'll spend in the neighborhood of $16 to $20 for an entree. <br/ <br/ Just be sure to order the guacamole. They make it right in front of you, asking you how much j...
Love the atmosphere here. Food and drinks are good. Live music some nights. Waitress should be a bit more attentive to customers when they first arrive. On several occasions I had to find my own table to sit then hunt the waitress down to take my order. Other then that's is a very nice place to have dinner. Great place for couples or big groups.
I ordered the vegetarian burrito, and while it was delicious, I found it a bit on the small side and largely filled with spinach. I believe reducing the amount of spinach could help create a better balance of flavors. On the positive side, there was a generous portion of Muenster cheese, which enhanced the overall experience.

I recently spend the weekend with my gf at Stamford ct and we came across with Riviera Maya, we loved it so much that we went twice, food is great, service awesome, restaurant is so beautiful in and out, highly recommended.
I really enjoyed the half dozen of jumbo grilled shrimp over bed of veggies. The mashed potatoes were great, homemade just how I like them! The margarita had a really nice kick of tequila; well worth my visit!
Visited Stamford for the first time with my boyfriend, and found this place by chance since it did not show on the GPS. Gotta say I LOVE IT! Will definitely go again! I'm sure you will love it too.

I can't wait to come back and try more dishes in the future. This restaurant offers the best Mexican food in Stamford!
I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, so I'm unable to speak to the ambiance.
