La Ribera Mexican - Washington

This restaurant has great potential, but it really needs better staffing. There was just one waitress handling both hosting and serving, alongside one person managing the cash register. We waited 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged our presence. When my food finally arrived, it was lukewarm, which I suspect was due to understaffing rather than the cooks' performance. While the flavors were enjoyable, I don't think I'll be coming back again due to the management issues. Cost per person: $10–20.

The food was fantastic! However, I wasn't fond of having to share a table with strangers when the booths were full. It can be quite uncomfortable trying to have a conversation when you feel like others are eavesdropping. Overall, I would rate the food a 5, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a 4.
