Getting there

  • Cross Street: 11th ST
  • Public Transit: Easy transportation options, rare in Los Angeles, make the experience still more stress-free. The Metro Blue Line Pico stop is literally a jalapeño's throw from the entrance of RIVERA, and the restaurant offers the city’s “Hail A Taxi” service, conveniently bringing additional fleets of cabs into the proximity of burgeoning L.A. Live venues.
  • Parking: Valet
  • Parking Details: The valet parking service engaged by RIVERA extends a special courtesy to diners who park at the restaurant, then walk to nearby venues at Staples Center and LA Live for an evening event. As the guests leave the arena, they are able to call the RIVERA valet from their mobile phones and their automobiles are collected and returned to the restaurant as guests return to RIVERA.

I couldn’t help myself.” S.Irene Virbila -Los Angeles Times “Sedlar has been exploring the culinary relationship between Spain and the Americas for his entire professional life.”… Patric Kuh -Los Angeles Magazine “The tequilas, infused with vanilla, passion fruit, or rose blossom, are irresistible.” Best of LA 2009 -Los Angeles Magazine “Best Los Angeles Latin Food” “Best Los Angeles Celebrity Chef” Citysearch 2009 Chef John Rivera Sedlar celebrates Latin food in all its diverse varieties. RIVERA’s menu reflects decades of Sedlar's passion for Latin culinary history and gives new relevance and relish to familiar foods from the sultriest of latitudes: tamales, mole, ceviche, feijoadas, fideos and jamones.
