Rotisserie chicken special! And the tacu bowl.
Lori L.

Wonderful experience like always! The service is always great and I love doing their to go orders because it is so easy to do. I love their chicken soup and their Bruno's special. Their side items are generous and portion and their chicken is always fresh and juicy. Service is always top-notch!

1/4 Chicken with 2 Sides and mild sauce
Bev N.

Excellent experience! Quality delicious food with perfect portions. Very friendly staff and clean restaurant. I got the 1/4 chicken with green beans, cilantro rice and mild sauce. It was so yummy that I returned within a few days and got the same meal with corn salad. Everything was flavorful. The herbal limeade is very refreshing. Download the app for awesome rewards.

You can buy the amazing sauce to go!

We absolutely love this place. The food is always great, fresh, and tasty. We love that you can buy bigger servings of the sauce to take home and eat with stuff we cook during the week. Our kids love the Peruvian rice, and the fried yucca is delicious! The salad is also really great too. Most of the time, we get the family meal with the whole chicken all white meat and the two sides and sauces. There have been a couple times that the establishment had technical issues and went above and beyond for any inconvenience. I was so taken back by this and impressed! Absolutely amazing customer service! Wonderful and friendly staff!

Family meal

Ooo this place was so good! We popped in today for the first time and ordered the family meal. $28.99 for a whole chicken and 3 family size sides. We got the Peruvian fried rice, plantains, and yuca fries. Everything was delicious and we all liked it - kids included! (The food was enough for 4 people.) The cashier was friendly and patient with us as we were newbies and took some time deciding what to order. They checked on us during and after the meal to see if we needed anything and how we were enjoying the food. Overall we had a great experience and will back again in future!

The customer service is amazing. It's also a very clean environment and the food taste AMAZING! This is my first time being here. The yuca fries are thicker than regular fries but honestly it just might be my new fav by far. If you decide to order them I recommend you try the fries with mild or medium sauce.

Rotisserie Chicken Family Size with three sides (fried yucca, cilantro rice, and sweet fried plantains

The food here is simply amazing! Growing up in Lima, Peru, I have had the best rotisserie chicken in Peru (known there as "pollo a la brasa"). Viva Chicken food is just as good as any of the Peruvian restaurants. The sauces are tasty and the cilantro rice is delicious. The fried yucca is a must have. My daughter had the chicken wrap with sun dried tomatoes and she absolutely loved it! I would definitely recommend Viva Chicken to anyone who wants to try Peruvian style rotisserie chicken and I will be coming back next time I am in Greenville!

Arroz Chaufa was great

We have since discovered that the best menu item is the baked Peruvian wrap with pulled chicken. Comes with fries. The mild salsa is the best one for it give it a shot. Naked Peruvian has some healthy and filling foods in it it's the best one.

Tacu bowl

I can't say enough good things about viva chicken. Everything on their menu is so good. I absolutely love the canary beans. This is a great spot for lunch during work or a super casual dinner. The staff is always friendly and open to answering any questions. I've also had them cater for me ( roughly 250 people) and it was A HIT. Both locations are great and you can't go wrong getting some good food here.

I love the chicken here, but tonight was a very poor service experience. I ordered two whole chickens with six sides and my sides are completely messed up. I ordered a family side extra of Platanos and I got beans. I ordered a small side of corn and I got a family size. The churros are a joke for $3.75. I know everybody means well here, but come on, please get the basics right!

New place on Pelham and I really liked it. The rotisserie chicken is very juice and the arroz chaufa (Peruvian fried rice) is really good. The canary beans were something new to try and I didn't care for those. The ciabatta pulled chicken sandwich was delicious, I just needed sauce on it and the hot rocoto sauce was really good. It was spicy though. Portions were a good size too. I will be back because I really liked the change of flavors at viva that it adds to this area.

Price, food quality and service are consistently good. For a quick meal that's generally healthy this is the spot.

There is a discrepancy between what is advertised and what is served for the dish "Mariscos sea…read morefood rise" below you can find the difference in what is advertised and what is actually served. We ordered 3 meals of the same plate at $20.00 with the expectation of getting food similar to what is advertised but unfortunately this was not the case. When contacting the restaurant they were extremely rude. Existe una discrepancia entre lo que se anuncia y lo que se sirve en el plato "Arroz con mariscos". A continuación en las fotos se puede ver la diferencia entre lo anunciado y lo que realmente se sirvió. Pedimos tres raciones del mismo plato a $20.00 cada una esperando recibir una comida similar a la anunciada, pero lamentablemente no fue así. Al contactar el restaurante fuero muy griferos y nos trataron con mucha descortesía.

They must be more careful with the fish they use, as it is very critical to sell raw fish. We will not go back to this place. Mi novio y yo hemos ido dos veces a este lugar. La comida es buena, pero ayer mi novio se intoxicó con el ceviche. Deberían tener más cuidado con el pescado que usan, ya que es muy delicado vender platos que contengan alimentos crudos. No volveremos a este lugar porque es muy riesgoso.

Great food & service. You order at the register & then they bring the food to you…read more The speed of fast food but the quality & service of a nice sit down restaurant. Family friendly with upbeat music and booster seats. The employees at this eatery are incredibly attentive and friendly, walking around the dining area with regularity to keep tables clean & check in each customer if you need anything. Do yourself a favor and get the Huactay Sauce. And now the sauces are self serve. One of our favorites is the Tacu Bowl, a side of Yuka fries & the Herbal Limeaid. So good!

I have wanted to stop in for lunch at this spot for a while and on an early work release snow day…read moreon a Friday lunch, my desires all came true for rotisserie chicken. I mean, it is rotisserie chicken and that is a good thing! This was a tender, juicy chicken wing and thigh (1/4 chicken, dark). I really could not tell a discernible difference between this chicken and one of the standards from, say, Publix or Costco. But it was good. The sauces are a different story. They are why the Peruvian chicken really crosses the road. This is the differentiator. The sauces are, Aji Amarillo Sauce (Mild / Yellow), Huacatay Sauce (Medium / Green), Roasted Rocoto Sauce (Hot / Red), and Huancaina Sauce (Creamy Queso Fresco Sauce). I did not try them all, but I did roll with the Rocoto sauce. It was spicy, maybe too much for the average "mild" sauce person, but for me, it was a nice compliment to the chicken and sides that I ordered. And I received two of the small plastic "ramekin" type sauce containers for "to go." Which is good, because my order was "to go." Service was quick and polite. Restaurant is smaller, but very clean. Kitchen is open enough so that you can see the process in the works. My sides were cilantro rice and Peruvian corn salad. Both very healthy and both very bland. Which is another big plus for the sauce. I would also add that the location is at the corner of Garlington Road and Woodruff Road and not the easiest place to get into and out of unless you are going in a certain direction. Which I was. A minor win there. All told, this is a good option if you can get in and out with traffic, the chicken is good, the star of the show is definitely the sauce and I would say that overall their menu has very healthy options. My quarter chicken listed for $10.39 with two sides. With my Viva Chicken desires satisfied, I would recommend this restaurant if convenient to your travels, but honestly would not make it a destination.
