Riviero Maya - Dinner

Camarones Verdes ($15.95)
After sitting, I was presented with tortilla chips and a salsa which looked freshly ground with a good hot bite to it. After studying the extensive menu for a while I told the waiter that I was tossed between two items. I could tell from his face that they were no his favorites. He asked if I was looking for shrimps, chicken or steak. After some discussion I placed my order for shrimp Verdes. It appears looking at the menu now that I got Camarones Borrachos. The meal was served with shrimp in a green sauce with onions and a strong taste of cilantro. The sauce was nice with a strong flavor but a little too salty for my taste. It was plated with rice and refried beans. I would have liked to see more refried beans. The main course had a nice bite to it although the menu stated their food was not served spicy unless requested. After the meal, I was offered a complimentary vanilla liquor. I enjoyed my meal and will definitely return. The menu offered wide variety of dinners plus the usual Mexican fare (tacos, chimicangas, burritos, enchilados, etc.) Riviero Maya is in the former Mama Roni's north of Newton on 206 in Branchville (almost across from the Yellow Cottage Bakery.) There is adequate parking in the lot and they have a liquor license (and bar) if that interests you. The dinning room is light and airy, painted in bright Mexican colors. This is only their first week open and some of the murals on the walls are not quite finished.
