Reviews for Riobamba Latin Kitchen in Glenview, IL
The staff are friendly, the place is clean, and the service is fast. But the food very much lacks any flavor. The attached photo... of the rights and beans should say enough. The rice is probably instant rice and the beans right from the can with no treatment.The tacos were all very bland. Luckily, they didn?t overcook the lamb, but it was very bland. The carnitas and Al pastor weresuper dry and bland. The only thing worth eating is the fish taco. Sadly, won?t be coming back. Read more
Riobamba is by far my favorite go to for tacos. The restaurant itself is clean and welcoming. The staff is friendly and super... helpful in making great menu decisions. My family loves to choose a variety of meats for our tacos, which is great because thenwe can have it all. The authentic sauces are amazing! My personal favorite is the Chimichurri sauce :). The avocado salad andthe yucca fries are also a must! So good! My kids also are big fans of the chips, cheese sauce, and guacamole. We?re so gladthat Riobamba is near, and we will definitely be back soon! Continue doing great things Tony and staff! Read more
Food ruined. Asked for cilantro and cheese and got cilantro and onion. 20$ dollars for 2 tacos and yukka fries and couldn't... even get it right. I live 30 minutes away. Not worth driving back for the fix. Extremely annoyed! Read more
I love the food at Riobamba, it's authentic and the servings are generous. The yuca fries are crispy and light. Their shrimp... tacos are my favorite. Remember to leave room for the flan! Read more

Person at the counter was friendly and promptly helped me and answered a couple of questions. The food is my main concern, I... ordered nachos and two tacos one chicken and one steak The chicken taco; the chicken was dry and lacked flavor. The steak taco:wasn't as dry as the chicken and seasoned better but still not great. Ordered this with the medium salsa but it also was lackingflavor. The nachos were actually pretty good by comparison. Maybe it was an off night based on the other reviews but not reallyimpressed with this first visit. Read more
