Viva Mexico: Reviews & Ratings
Standard Mexican fare with great service and good pricing. Just wish they would add street tacos to the menu.
Good margaritas and the salsa for the chips doesn't melt your tongue. Having a pork tamale, crispy beef taco and a chili relleno. Let's see how everything tastes!
We have been coming to Viva Mexico for years. Like someone said in another review, when we arrive we're treated like family! They always know how we like our Margaritas (blended or rocks, who wants salt and who doesn't, etc.), and they even know what we are going to order most of the time. Javier and Joel let us practice our middling Spanish every time we come, which makes the visit even more fun. And, the food is great! The atmosphere is colorful---stereotypically Mexican, complete with Spanish language music all the time in the background. Viva Mexico!
Super friendly server who greeted us like long list friends. When I asked for some clarifications on the menu, he went right back to the kitchen and came running back (literally) with answers. Food was pretty typical Mexican cuisine and was very good! I'd go back there again for sure!
Ive gone here for over 20 years, when I tell you walking in here feels like an episode of cheers! Lol, the food is great, EVERY time, service is always pleasant... we dont need menus, Javier knows our order.... LOVE COMING HERE- At least every other week sometimes more often than that!
Super friendly. Delicious carne asada! Enjoyed the chips & salsa as well. Clean & comfortable.
This place was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yummy yummy in my tummy Everyone is super kind too. I love this place
One of my favorite places to grab some Mexican food for a reasonable price. The fajitas or chimichangas are my go to choices. The wait staff are always super attentive and fast to get you everything you need. The food is absolutely delicious, always served hot! Large portion sizes for reasonable prices. I am always so stuffed after leaving there. My favorite items are the shrimp fajitas, (#14) 3 chicken chimichangas with rice and beans, and the carne asada, and they have great chips and salsa served with refried beans with shredded cheese. Big shout out to Javier who always recognizes us, seats us as soon as we come in, and is ready to get us some drinks. The staff are super kind. Please, please go try their food, you won't be disappointed!
