★★★★★ 5.0 Norma Vasquez · Jan 2026

We ate at La Viva today and had a great experience. We decided to go in after receiving a text about their kids-eat-free deal with the purchase of an entrée, which was a nice bonus for our family. My husband ordered the piña bowl. Even though they were out of pineapple, it was still delicious. I had the fajitas well done, and they definitely hit the spot. Our two littles ordered a fajita taco and macaroni, and they loved both. The corn was also really good. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio. They have turf, a small slide, and rocking horses, which kept the kids entertained while we waited for our food. Although the food did take a bit of time, it wasn’t an issue for us since the kids were engaged, and our server Shea did a great job communicating with us throughout. He was very help

First time here after driving past it for a year. Service was a bit slow at first but Sebastian took care of me. I ordered the white queso and ‘famous’ chicken enchiladas with the avocado sauce on the side. No complaints. At the time that I came the restaurant was fairly full and they still had a table readily available. I will definitely be back and I will be asking for Sebastian (if he’s working). Highly highly recommend if you live in the area. For alcohol I got the large sangria swirl marg with tajin rim and it didn’t disappoint but you gotta get the large tho.

We're actually eating here right now and just finished and oh my goodness its wonderful! Wendy waited on us and has been great! The food is delicious. It's quiet today but still such a nice atmosphere. Try it out and if you've visited before give them a great review as they deserve it.

My friend had recommended me to go out and try this place for some time . I decided to go out with some friends and the food was amazing here I had the Cabo combo and it was so good. Our waiter was so sweet and she came by often to check on us to see if we needed anything. I highly recommend that you go out and try this place the hostess I had was named jakaylaa very sweet girl.

My husband and I recently visited for dinner. We had the la viva shrimp and the queso for appetizers. I got the Tio Chitos plate with 1 seafood enchilada and 1 Nick's classic enchilada. My husband had the Nick's classic enchiladas. I also had a watermelon margarita. Everything was delicious. Our server Alyssa was awesome. Very attentive, and our order was perfect. We have been here 3 times so far, and everything is always great.
