Riviera Maya

I’m so disappointed.
This used to be my favorite restaurant before the reopening.
They give you tiny tiny pieces of chicken.
And very little of it.
I had the taco salad and I could barely find any chicken in it.
The cheese dip was also super watery and just extremely thin without any flavor.
2 adults one entree each and 1 kids meal was $50 before tip.
The restaurant is nice but the vibe is gone.
The employee didn’t seem to be happy to be there.
Our waitress was nice.
Just not the fun environment I remember.

At 7:55 I was completely ignored sitting at the bar.
There was one other customer in the restaurant.
The manager was 4 feet away.
Never looked at me.
I left.
Closing time is 9.
Manuel, please tell me what is going on.
I’m just one person but I champion this restaurant.
To be treated this way, and it’s not the first time, there are way cheaper and equal establishments.
I wasn’t gonna stay long.
Jeez! Leese knows better.

So they finally reopened after what seemed like an eternity.
I mean c'mon man, they slapped up 2 Whataburger spots from scratch in less time for Riviera to do a remodel.
But anyways, I had my usual favorite, the Maya Special.
It took me a while to find it with the new menu layout but it's still there.
It's a mix of steak, chicken, shrimp and veggies over rice and drizzled with queso.
It's still very tasty but unfortunately it went up 3 bucks in price.
And now you only get 1 refill on soft drinks.
So with drink, tax and tip it was $27.
That's grippy for Mexican grub.
I anticipated a price jump after the reopen but now I'll have to visit less often.
The service was very good and I really like the new booths that now have padding (before they didn't and were quite uncomfortable).
Overall I'm glad they're back in business.
