Unusual selections, great tapas. Loved the stuffed squash blossoms. The queso fundido was one of the best Ive had with chorizo and poblanos. It was seasoned perfectly and served with house made corn tortillas. The house made flan was excellent in texture and depth of flavor. The decaf coffee was rich and flavorful. Highly recommend the house apple infused tequila which I will have over ice cream next time. The blue nectar anejo tequila was sooth and sweet. Thanks Efrain for a great meal.

Came with a Groupon, not expecting the best; however thats exactly what we found. The Chiles poblanos was one of the best things I have ever had. I ordered the vegetarian burrito and it was great, along with the homemade hot sauce. Absolutely phenomenal. One of the greatest meals of my life.

Love this place. Been going here for three years and have not been disappointed. The food is delicious. The only thing I would suggest is run some drink specials. The drink pricing is a little high. Overall, if you are looking for a good authentic Mexican restaurant I recommend this place.

The more you come here the more you are treated like family. High quality food (worth the wait on a Saturday night.) Many vegetarian options that can easily be made vegan as well. Most foods are made fresh in house like their Nachos. Have one of their mojitos or margaritas. Yummm.

food always exceptional & fresh, drinks great & made from scratch. Must try the calamari & fajitas. True traditional Mexican restaurant & have not been able to find another one that even comes close to quality & exceptional customer service. Way to go Viva, keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although it took a long time for our party to be seated because they overbooked, it was well worth the wait. The food was outstanding and you could not ask for friendlier service and the food is pretty chest for the amount of food you get. Amazing place will be going back again

Well going there after manny years I have had enough, wife battled me about the service which I paid for. I fell that the service for a long time customer that spends a minimum of $100.00 not including tip was not up to par. Will not be going back for a long time.

Truthfully, the food was delicious. I could have come at a bad time but the service was awful. We waited an hour for our food with no water refill. This place was given as a recommendation so I assume its better most of the time, but my experience wasnt great.

Finally tried this place, even though its been around for years. It was a surprise how tasty the food is. It wasnt the typical burritos and tacos. Their menu offers a lot of delicious options. We will definitely go there again!

OMG Ive died and gone to heaven. Oysters with cream sauce and spinach - beef short ribs that melt in your mouth. Banana Flambe. The best ever! Exquisite dinning that rivals any NYC restaurant.

Great food, great staff. Not expensive if you stick with just water. The fish dishes were out of this world. A little pricey for us (family of 6) but still a great treat every once in awhile.

Chips were stale. Tacos had horrible after taste. I asked for a refill and it didnt come for at least 10 minutes and we were already done eating. Waiter was playing wheres Waldo and I lost.

Came back twice. Will come again off hours. Great south of the border food. Fresh, everything. Authentic everything. But on weekends and on crowded evenings, its VERY noisy from the bar.
