Mediocre & high priced. I will give them credit for being fast, but that's about it. Food was…read moretolerable at best. I had shrimp street tacos, my son also had street tacos & I can't remember what my husband had (some sort of sandwich.) The street tacos come with nothing, so I ordered a side of rice and I'm sorry I did. We had 2 sodas & a water, no alcohol, no other extras and our bill was over $60.00. None of us are interested in going back. Also, only 1 basket of chips per table is a cheap flex.

Go for the decor!!!!…read more Oh my - my better half spotted this place (it isn't much from the outside). to be honest I was like kinda borderline but he has a really good radar for amazing places- I had no idea what was ahead. Wow and triple wow. Seated quickly. Place was hoppin. Service was faster than the pace of this place - which isn't an easy accomplishment. The decor is such a WOW factor- it is beautiful. I'd go just for the decor even if the food sucked - and believe me it didn't. Server came to table - took our drink order. Food came out - large portions and amazing. Server was highly attentive. The night we were there, seemed be all male servers. Highly efficent. He had fajitas, I had seafood enchiladas (best ever). I gorged myself and still left food on my plate. We were there this past summer and still talk about it. Will we be back- absolutely.

The food at Viva Mas is mediocre and not your authentic Mexican cuisine The margarita is pretty…read moremuch like lime juice... I don't think it has tequila in it at all . The salsa is average . Suffice it to say, I'm not going back ! I really do miss my old stopping ground for a good Mexican food at El Cayote in Los Angeles! If you live in LA or visiting LA, it's a must to have their House Margarita ... and as for Moe , the bartender.

I'm not sure how I haven't reviewed VIvencia yet, but I looked and sure enough, I've been slacking!…read more After many trips, here is a quick summary of my most recent visit and some observations. TLDR: Love it. Visited today for breakfast with a friend, and it wasn't busy when I arrived, but was surprised at how many people arrived as we ate. It was a workday, and I thought there might be some breakfast meetings taking place, but the crowd trickled in a bit later as the morning lingered. Coffee options abound. As do smoothies and 'wellness shots' which aren't my thing but if you'd like a shot of healthy greens and a spice I've never heard of, enjoy! I had black coffee and it tasted better than most breakfast shots. They have a wide variety of lattes and other fancy custom options like the strawberry shortcake latte, etc. Ordered the breakfast burrito (sausage) and it was very good. I think I had the hangover burrito before (same thing but with gravy on top) and would opt for that one again next time. I had the strawberry banana pancakes at a prior visit as well, and remember them fondly. My dining companion had biscuits and gravy and said they were good. He is a man of few words. For dinner, they have a great menu that is 'latin flavors' as they say - everything from traditional Mexican food you'd find elsewhere to Argentinian options and more. They have great food. On a nice day, the patio is great other than the street traffic noise. This is a great option if you're wanting to get away from the other Mexican restaurants in town but still want something along those lines.

Finally got to this place and it exceeded some expectations, but came up short for others. Let me…read morestart off with the highest note, as their tiramisu iced coffee was the best coffee I've had in Bloomington. The food was good but gave me both terrible heartburn and an unpleasant time in the bathroom after digestion. Friendly service but a bit on the slower side. Lovely decor and music in the restaurant. Rather overpriced but the portions are arguably worth it.

We go here occasionally because it's been consistently good. Now it's just OK in our opinions…read more We had chile rellenos. They're usually reliable. Last night there were...OK. Obviously prepared in advance, they were bland. No flair. For $15 you get beans and rice and tortillas-- except they forgot the tortillas. No real presentation values. Slow service despite being almost the only ones in the restaurant. The stuffed chilies were.... greasy, their (red) sauce bland. Blah. We understand food costs are rising, but here, the quality is going down. I shrug. Lots of competition around town. The upsides are that it's clean, nice restrooms, and very polite. Downsides are slower service, and no flair. We don't drink alcohol, and didn't sample their drinks. Maybe those are good. We'll never know or care.
