I grew up with Emilio and the Rivera Family in Elysian Valley. He is the most down to earth and humble vato you can ever meet. Whether you run into him at a burger joint or at a ball game. He will take the time to greet you, take pics or sign autographs. He's very much loved and respected by all his friends and family. He's been blessed with the talent and success for who he is. Mucho respeto for Emilio. Bro keep rising and hope to see you soon. Saludos a todos en la familia.

I'm a 70 year old , white Viet-nam vet and I know Emilio is an actor just saying words that are written for him but for some reason, I'd want him on my side if stuff should hit the fan, This dude is totally legit-----the real deal----great actor and person.

[@inkganggotti9303]

Black guy speaking.....bro is legit been following his career last 15 years authentic

[@kingeleven3820]

00:37 and 1:30 its so refreshing to know emilio is not just another original generation D.O. He made it out the hood honorably like a real veterano should. i bet u anything hes a real OG in the eyes of his old click. this is dope this man should be an inspiration to all southerners stuck in the state of mind of a gangster

[@LoveEmilioRivera]

He is. Emilio used to knock a person out with one punch, hence the name "Lefty". He is soooooooooo humble too. Love him.

[@LAAM619]

He's from frog town rifa

[@adrianagflores5587]

Something I’ve noticed that nobody mentions is that the music in the show if fantastic. Every song in each scene perfectly reflects the situation unfolding.

[@msdiva2u147]

Emilio, never lied about how Domino's is played on the East Coast.

[@musiqjunkie4310]

Shouts to EL padrino... Real OG... Cee cee got them Lipps that can put in some work!

[@anthonycampos8057]

This man went toe to toe with Clay and Jax Teller.

[@kellysalinas7478]

Unfortunately, that's how Latinos were portrayed prior to 1993... Watch "Colors"!! Trini Silva was great!!

[@corindamerino]

Kelly Salinas omg Trini Silva was a great actor for the Latino Community. I remember my mom always talking about him like he was family. Colors is a great OG 🎥 movie. I can admit I always watch that movie when it on TV 📺. Always loved the song at the end before dude dies in the shoot out. It’s a guitar melody that the white homeboy plays, he was Malachi(Courtney Gains)in children of the corn 🌽.

[@rafaelralphynina9476]

Did he say CORONA

[@fernandorios9180]

Koop guy

[@bigD5172]

My beef, though it might happen later, The Mayans MC oddly isn't the focal point of the show so far.

[@Alleyboy760]

bigD5172 I’ve thought the same thing. The show is about the brothers/dad vs the cartel stuff and then the other stuff and then the club. Season 2 has got to be about who the hell these dudes are in the club and why we should like them.

[@VaqueroVegano]

Loco

[@RedPanther879]

IMDB has 142 credits!!

[@LoveEmilioRivera]

IMDB is no longer what it used to be. They lost cred once they allowed the masses to edit it. :( I used to look at it as Hollywood gospel.

[@kevtuff1038]

Ya dig?

[@Alquiler4wheel]

Daddy rolling stone

[@Alienman51]

I swear it's the white people hating this show. Not even giving the show a try.

[@davidortiz4903]

Lmao always lying to the cops to ur old lady the jury💯💯💯

[@jerry92s79]

Vato loko

[@joeyyy771]

The Mayans is a great show except the Spanish speaking all the actors need help with Spanish .. me being a Mexican American that grew up in LA, I speak both languages I notice the actors need help pronouncing Spanish . Honestly it’s really bad lol
