I went to their soft opening and they ran out of chicken and never came back until now 2/2025. They…read morewere apologetic and gave me a free meal on next visit, but I never used it because I lost the piece of note she (the owner) provided. This visit, the moment I walked to the counter I was greeted with a smile, and I remember her from my first visit. I ordered the 1/2 chicken because it was only $3 more than a 1/4 chicken with 2 sides. You get both white and dark meat and I order fried Yucca and black beans & rice. The chicken has so much flavor from the charcoal. The Yucca was perfectly fried fresh, and the black beans and rice were satisfying. It is a little pricey about $27 with fountain drink and a 15% tip (in my opinion they should not ask with their point of sale system when it is not a full service restaurant). This is the reason why they got a 3 star instead of 4 stars. This reminds me of Peruvian style rotisserie chicken that I use to eat when I lived in Washington DC area. Here, they are branded as Latin American Charcoal Chicken. This not a full service restaurant. You order at the counter and pick up at the order at the other end. They have a small but adequate dining room. I wonder how they are during a lunch and dinner rush. I will soon see.

But in fact, it is a Chilean food truck and the next door food truck is Salvadorian, which I was even more excited to try. Viva is run by a sweet older man who gave me his recommendations, so I took them and ordered the Churrasco Sandwich (avocado, mayonnaise, tomato, and steak) which came with fries and the cheese empanadas for my mom. The sandwich was incredibly flavorful, the steak tasted amazing, there was an over abundance of avocado which is rare because you know how most restaurants can be stingy on crushed avo! The fries were crispy and perfect with ketchup, my mom loved the cheese empanadas, I also tried a bite and they were flakey and crispy, cheese inside was gooey and warm, you can't go wrong with a great empanada! I was happy we tried this spot and that it didn't end up being Mexican (which I also love btw), I've never tried Chilean food before and more people should know about Viva! There were more people at the Salvadorian spot next to it but it shared the same patio, I'd be curious to try the other spot when I come back to Pensacola. All in all, a great experience, bursting with flavor. 10/10!

The empanadas were light and flavorful just amazing. The flan has to be the best flan I have had since living here.....seriously. It was firm and the perfect texture. Safe to say this place will be in my rotation!

Pace Blvd. Tip: turn on Lloyd and turn left through the gate and into the parking lot. The menu is limited, but the limited selection allows for the creation of very good items.

Very large and crunchy thanks to the proper bread. The meal cost $17, which I will eat over two days. Very reasonable. I'll end with a comment about the owner/chef.
