Rivera, Downtown LA

After hearing a lot about Rivera, I was excited to try it. It didn't turn out to be my favorite place, but I loved how all the dishes were presented. The concept of the restaurant was unique; every "room" had its own menu. I also liked the little touches; the edible flowers pressed into their corn tortillas (see above) and the fun quotes/writings on each dish, just to name a few. I honestly don't remember what we ordered, but I posted the pictures anyway just for the sheer enjoyment of seeing how they creatively put things together.

One thing I loved about Rivera- their cocktails! I remember ordering a beef jerky cocktail which turned out to be awesome. I just hope I find the picture in my iphone album somewhere!
