The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, and everything I tried was delicious. The beer was also great and paired well with the food. I really liked the atmosphere and overall experience. Although it's quite far from where I live (it took me about 1 hour and 20 mins to drive there) I would definitely go back if I get the chance. It's worth the trip!

Viva La Fiesta was a real disappointment. The food lacked flavor and freshness, with dishes that…read morefelt rushed and uninspired, and portions that didn't come close to justifying the price. The service was inattentive and unwelcoming, making the whole experience feel more like a chore than a night out. The atmosphere, which should have been lively given the name, instead felt dull and neglected. Overall, Viva La Fiesta completely missed the mark -- I wouldn't recommend it when there are far better options like Friendship House just around the corner. I tried again and ordered takeout and the picture below is what they gave me.

Also it's been the only experience at a Mexican restaurant where they seem reluctant to give their customers chips and salsa. It hurts to leave a bad review because I used to absolutely love this place, but ever since the new management a few months ago it is nowhere near the same. I hope they can figure it out and turn things around because it is sad to see the inside of that place empty (and in its current state I can see why).

Each meal had four full tacos, consume, two spicy sauces, and a lime. It was definitely worth the cost and very tasty. It was full of flavor and was soft while not being soggy. Outside the food truck they even had a metal overhang you could sit under if it was raining or needed some shade.

It was a favorite lunch spot of locals as they came in; the staff greeted many of them by name and knew their favorite drinks without them having to order. They had a large table in the back for groups, and a landscaping crew came in and they could gather in the back and have lunch together! We ordered from the lunch menu and received portions that were extremely large for lunch. I had to pack my taco up to go. Because I could not even start it, I was stuffed with the stuffed pepper. We will be back; it was a nice change-up, fast and friendly service with good food and lunch specials starting at $8.99.

I had beef fajitas,my daughter had chicken fajitas, wife had a chicken burrito, mom had pollo feliz, and grandson had a kids meal burrito. All of it was top notch! We had flan as well as churros with fried ice cream for dessert, again very tasty. The service was a touch slow but very friendly. Prices are very good and you get plenty of food. We will definitely be eating here on our next trip to Council Grove.

The food was excellent. My daughter and I each ordered large bowls of Menudo. It was delicious. Lots of tripe. More tripe than hominy, which is important to me, as some restaurants add lots of hominy to make it go farther. The broth was oh so good, not greasy or fatty tasting, with the right amount of spices. The bowls were good sized. My wife ordered the nachos, which she loved. Pretty big plate. She couldn't finish it all. Great taste. She's not a big meat eater, so asked for only half the meat on her nachos, and there was still a good portion of taco meat on there. I'll get my own nachos next time as how i've now seen how much you get on nachos. A meal in itself. Along with my menudo, I ordered a Carnitas Gordita. For those that don't know or have never tried one, it's sort of like a Mexican deep fried pita then stuffed with your choice of meat. It was soo good. The gordita wasn't greasy, plenty of carnitas, lettuce, white cheese...OMG, just go get one and try for yourself. They have other meats but I'm hooked on the carnitas! The staff was friendly, courteous, prompt with food. They have Mexican products for sale on the side of the place, ergo, the "Mercado" part. Will definitely be going back.

It came with guac, beans, cheese, rice, tomatoes etc. on the side for the wraps. Service was great as well. Have nothing bad to say
