Crystal River — In a family, friendly environment where the food is always prepared with the freshest of ingredients, awaits a behemoth dish for one person.
The owners of the Riviera Mexican Restaurant & Cantina, located at 1935 SE U.S. Highway 19, pride themselves on great food, service, and promise to always make you feel like family.
But in the kitchen of this restaurant lurks something much larger than the smiles of the staff.
It’s a dish that will surely separate the men from the boys.
What is this dish? It is the six-pound burrito. You read that right…a six-pound burrito. Hence the term “six-pound burrito challenge.”
