Tacos are on fresh corn tortillas with the highlight being the generous protein portions that do not get lost under tons of lettuce sour creme & or cheese. In fact my pork carnitas taco, with onions & cilantro, was elevated by being stuffed with tender roasted pork loin instead of fried pork chunks. My partner's shrimp tacos were excellent as well. Daughter inhaled her steak burrito. The tame/bland red & green side sauces could be improved. As some reviewers noted, food is on the pricey side. Ala carte regular sized tacos are $5.00 each though. Can't comment on the service as we had take out but they packaged everything competently but no salsa & chips ????

Fabulous food and margaritas!…read more We were staying a few doors down and decided to eat here just because it was so close. The host and server were very friendly and attentive. The food was great. All 3 of us ordered something different and loved each dish. Portions were big and the price was very reasonable. The place is very small and has some outdoor seating. We sat inside because it was a little chilly out. The only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 was just that the music was way too loud for such a small place. I know it makes me sound old, but I could not hear our soft spoken server at all. We would definitely come back again next time we are in the area.

Minutes later, chaos ensued, and there was a line of about 20 people that never went away. They make the tortillas from scratch, I watched a woman in the kitchen, piecing off the dough and then flattening them in a press, and then putting them on the grill, over and over and over again. By the way, their tortilla chips are made of this same homemade goodness. I can see why there was a line out the door until I finished my meal. The tacos I ordered were perfectly seasoned, very tender, and incredibly juicy. I don't think I've ever had tacos like that before. Even if there is a line, I would highly recommend stopping in for these delicious morsels.

Dinner | $100+ | February 13, 2026…read more I called earlier today to reserve a table for three people for 7 PM. The gentleman who answered was professional, took my name and phone number, and clearly confirmed the reservation. When we arrived at 7 PM, we were told my name was not in the system. There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the mistake, and no attempt to take responsibility. Instead, we were seated at a table near the kitchen without any explanation or courtesy. The front desk staff member's attitude was unprofessional and dismissive. In hospitality, basic respect and accountability are expected. A simple apology would have gone a long way, but none was offered. The food was average at best. The only positive part of the evening was the gentleman who served us -- he was professional, attentive, and courteous. His service stood in sharp contrast to the unacceptable front desk experience. This was meant to be part of our Valentine's Day Eve celebration, and the mishandling of the reservation completely undermined the experience. For a dinner costing over $100, this level of service is unacceptable. Very disappointing experience. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this restaurant based on how reservations and guests are treated.

It was close to 11 PM on a Wednesday, and after trying multiple spots that claimed their kitchens were open until midnight (Google lied ), VivaZ came through. We were greeted right away and seated quickly. Our server was patient, knowledgeable, and very considerate of food preferences at the table -- huge plus there, especially that late at night. Food I ordered the chicken empanadas -- they were big, filled with chicken and cheese, tasty but a little too oily for my preference. I'd love a drier, crispier shell, but I'd still try them again. My brother ordered the shrimp nachos and those were excellent -- loaded, flavorful, and honestly better than the empanadas in my opinion. My cousin got the same nachos and loved them too. A friend ordered the short rib empanadillas and didn't enjoy them. He sent them back and swapped for chicken, which he liked much more. Appreciate that the staff had no issue making the change. Drinks I had an Ilegal Mezcal shot -- my go-to when I'm at a Mexican spot -- and it hit like it always does. My brother's strawberry margarita was also a winner. Overall Friendly service, good food, great energy even late on a weekday. The fact that they were open and accommodating when nothing else was is major. Would we return? Absolutely. Rating: 4.5/5
