From the top - everything was five stars. Parking, staff, service, ambiance, dishes, EVERYTHING. Here’s my personal account… My restaurant dish pictures don’t look as stunning as they once were. I have a list of 14 foods I can’t even think of touching on a daily basis. Last week...Read More

Everything that we tried was delicious. Starting with chips and salsa, going to campechana shrimp, burritos and the chicken with shrimp and scallops, and ending with the churros and the cajeta ice cream. The service was A+ , she was sooooo nice, going the extra mile...Read More

Had the crawfish enchiladas today! Another great meal! The swirl margarita with sangria was equally as good! Chris, the owner has the food dialed in. A lot of great options and plenty of room to squeeze you in. Perfect for large parties as well.

The place is pretty big with outdoor sitting. While it is pricy, I must admit that the fajitas were amazing! They had good flavor and the porting for two was enough for 2. Drinks were also good and service was amazing— thanks to Jacob! The...Read More

First time coming into La Viva and it was delicious. The corn tortillas are crispy and the salsa with the chips is very good. Amanda was very knowledgeable and food came out fast and hot. We ordered the lunch shrimp tacos and el camerones.

The food is quite good and fresh, plus it's paired with friendly service(thank you, Karina)! The nice thick, rich queso is volumes better than most places. We will be back very soon to try something else, perhaps the red snapper as recommended.
