Friendly and fast, which was appreciated since we were on a road trip. The chicken was tasty and I loved the fresh taste of the lime basil drink. Would recommend and go again. It was a little tricky to find and a busy area, but worth it. read more

If I lived in the area, I'd be a regular at Viva Chicken. We tried the Caesar Wrap and the Tacu Bowl. The Caesar Wrap was tender and flavorful. The sweet potato fries were good but needed a bit more salt, in our opinion. The Tacu Bowl is really refreshing but the rice-to-topping ratio is way off. I'd absolutely ask for half the rice and still feel satisfied. The sauces are fun to try! We personally didn't think the spicy was spicy enough but it was delicious. Overall, we had a great first-timers experience. I'd definitely recommend trying Viva Chicken! read more

A year later we are back and the experience and food are as great as before! It's fast food... fresh. The Amarillo sauce is outstanding! I had the Viva Salad (again) which comes with just the right amount of delicious dressing, however, I couldn't resist dipping some pieces of chicken in the Amarillo sauce. Order at the counter service is always fast, friendly and efficient. Food is promptly delivered to your table. The restaurant is clean and comfortable in a hip, bright, colorful atmosphere. read more

The food here was very fresh! I loved all the different sauces you could have, the yellow one I think was my favorite. Not the cheapest thing in the world, but definitely worth the fresh ingredients. The food came out pretty quick and luckily they were large tables for our large group. read more

Viva Chicken - Peruvian Near Me - St. George, Utah

First time stopping by with the family and not sure what I am missing considering the great reviews this location has. I ordered the Inca wrap with chicken and yuca fries and everything was pretty bland where I had to use a generous amount of their sauces to add flavor. The table ordered - Chicken - which was very dry - Normal fries - which were nice and crispy - Corn salad - barely any corn and mostly edamame - Green Beans - pretty good The food came out fast, but when we asked staff for assistance they were not very warm to our group. I appreciate that they have a couple options of salsas to pick from and original juices that all tasted great. The space has plenty of indoor seating and everything was clean. Overall for the price I was expecting better quality, with that said it might have been an off day, but considering that the chicken was very dry and no flavor I would not return. read more

Viva Chicken - Chicken Inca wrap with yuca fries - Peruvian Near Me - St. George, Utah

This place had been hyped up by friends of ours for quite some time. It's certainly good food, but I'm not sure it's a must-go. The wing and leg of the chicken were cooked well, seasoned great, but the breast was bone dry. Plantains were also good, but not outstanding, fried rice wasn't quite flavorful enough... it seemed like everything disappointed just a hair. The service was outstanding: friendly and especially fast. read more

A St. George Staple. Food is always great. Facility is clean as there are people constantly cleaning tables and dish bins. The sauces slap. They have them out now so you don't have to go up and as for more sauce. I will say, the pictures don't line up with the photos on the sides menu. We got the half chicken with two sides: yuca and canary beans. We thought the beans were the ones shown in the picture next to it. They were not. read more

Viva Chicken was fantastic! We ordered the 1/4 chicken (all dark meat) with plantains and Peruvian corn salad, the Andina Power Food Salad with hand-pulled chicken, and a Maracuya (mango passion fruit) drink. The chicken was some of the best I've had--juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The Andina salad was refreshing, but we regretted adding the chicken since it came out a bit dry and didn't really enhance the dish, contrary to what some other reviewers had suggested. The sides were a mixed experience: the plantains were caramelized to perfection (a must-order!), while the Peruvian corn salad was less impressive. In hindsight, the beans might have been a better choice. The space was clean and welcoming, it was easy to find a table, and the staff was very friendly. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely be back! read more

Everything here is tasty and efficient. My second visit but I'm sure I'll be back as it's easy access off the highway and quick service. Tastier than most roasted chicken and pairs well with the cilantro rice. It's really the sauces that shine. I love the green sauce but all 3 are tasty so we bought a bottle to take home. Don't forget to try a juice as all of them are good! The staff person at the counter was very friendly. read more

Was hoping for a home run but it ended up being just ok. We ordered the whole chicken with 3 sides. Chicken was flavorful. The sides unfortunately failed short. The pinto like beans were really watery and bland. The corn salad was mostly edamame- where's the corn / maíz? And the fried rice was overly hyped. It was just ok Maybe we ordered the wrong sides? Still the sides should have enhanced the meal. It didn't. Staff was nice but looks like they're not able to make recommendations regarding the menu. If I were to come through St George again I might stop by. read more

If you are coming from Vegas towards Salt lake and looking for lunch places, this is it. The food here is really good. We ordered chicken burrito, a limero chopped salad and half a chicken which came with cilantro rice and fries. We also ordered sweet potato fries which were really amazing. If you are looking for a side of your dish, do opt for sweet potato fries. The only disappointment was the rotessrie chicken which almost feels like the one sold at Costco. Special mention to the sauces. They are amazing and doesn't taste like your usual hot sauces.i also loved the mint lemonade. Its refreshing. A special shoutout to the staff there, how I wish I asked for his name. I asked him a favour of cutting up the avocado which I got from come for my 10 month old kid, not only did he cut it up but placed it is a bowl of lettuce. Atmosphere is really lively. read more

Great, fresh food. Lomo Saltado as good as any, anywhere. Taco salad was delicious. So many tasty bites of veggies. Didn't go near the sauces since I'm a wimp, and it was all still delicious read more

The beef saltado was underwhelming. Very bland. I asked for my order 'to go,' and waited till it was ready so I could eat it in my car. From the counter to my car somehow it got soggy. The venue is very clean and modern. Cool artwork. Got my kids the fried rice. That's good. Very bland. Peruvian is usually very tasty foods so I was excited to try dishes I always order. This place looks better than it taste. read more

First time here after hearing how great it was with the couple we were with. Wow, great fast food! When I say fast, we ordered a whole chicken with sides, and the avocado quinoa salad and within 5 minutes of ordering it was on our table. The place was packed so I was so surprised how quick the service was. The chicken was very flavorful, the beans good, the rice good, plantains outstanding. As for their avocado quinoa salad, I will definitely be ordering that on my next visit. I'm also going to try and create that deliciousness at home. Definitely recommend when traveling through St George. read more

My friend told me about this place and we stopped here for a quick dinner on a Sunday night about half an hour to their closing time. It was very close to our hotel so that was very convenient. Seemed like lots of people rushed in last minute for take-outs also. We were so glad we stopped here. Food was delish and quick. Their chicken was so flavorful. Steak was good and oh my gwad have you tried their green beans??? It is soooo yummy! Highly recommend! read more

4.5 stars! Great spot for Peruvian style rotisserie chicken. We came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch on our way to Bryce and I'm so glad we stopped by! They have a limited menu, which is great because that means they can do a few things very well. You order at the counter, get an order number and find a seat. The service is super quick. My husband went to the restroom and by the time he was back 5 minutes later, the food was already at the table. We ordered the Peruvian half chicken with fried plantains and purple corn salad, and the tacu bowl without chicken. We also got the chica morada juice. The food was excellent! The chicken was cooked to perfection and it was actually quite a bit, so we ended up eating it by itself and with the tacu bowl. They have 3 sauces available - a sweeter amarillo based one, a savory cilantro/huacatay based one and a spicy rocoto pepper based one. I liked the latter two and my husband liked the first and the third one. The fried plantains were very good - not overtly sweet, not overtly chewy. The corn salad was very interesting! We haven't had purple corn before but basically, it is much bigger corn than usual. The salad had a mix of blue cheese, beans, onions, etc and it was delicious. The tacu bowl was also very good but it definitely needed a little more seasoning. Once we added the chicken and the sauces, it was perfect. We ended up taking 1/4 of the chicken and about half the tacu bowl as leftovers. When we ate it the next day, it was excellent! The chica morada tasted like a spiced cider. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Our price tag was less than $30 for two people and it was great food. We highly recommend coming here if you plan to be in St. George! read more

Great stop in St. George when on the way to Zion NP. Order the food before seated, and you will be given an order number and food will be delivered. Inside design and layout is really convenient for self service -- utensils, drinks and to go boxes. We ordered the family whole chicken meal, chicken is really juicy and flavorful, especially the three sauces: yellow , green ( my favorite) and red ( spicy but doable) . The sauce goes well with chicken also fries . Also like its plantains, so fresh sweet. The soup is different, kids does not appreciate the cilantro tastes but I enjoyed it, like the Haywood tastes and textures. For the salad, I think it is good but not my kind. The highlights are the sauces, French fries and plantains-- must have. Make sure to clean after yourself , good and tasty fast food place for friends and family. Recommended. read more

Great service and food! We always stop by Viva Chicken for lunch whenever we're in St. George. The family meal is our go-to--it comes with a whole chicken and three sides at a great price. The chicken is consistently delicious--juicy, flavorful, and tender. The plantains are my favorite side, and the sauces are great too. The yellow (aji) is mild, the green (huacatay) is medium, and the red (rocoto) is spicy--but not too hot. The medium sauce is the best and my absolute favorite! In terms of other sides, we always order the sweet potato fries and this time tried the Peruvian corn salad, which is like a pico de gallo with large, non-sweet corn kernels and edamame--refreshing but different if you're not used to it. Skip it if you don't like feta cheese. The yucca fries (not a yucca person, too starchy) and cilantro rice (which is dry and includes peas and carrots) are also not something I'd go for again. I'd also advise to skip the Naked Peruvian Wrap--it's dry and vegetarian, though you can add protein. Opt for the Inca Burrito instead. The bathrooms are clean, and the restaurant has a self-serve setup for utensils, drinks, and to-go containers. You order at the front cashier. They also have a rewards program which is worth signing up for if you go here enough. read more

Been here twice now, mildly disappointed the first time. Today I got the fried rice and it was inedible. I'm an extremely NOT picky eater, kind of the Dad that help finish everyone else's plate, but I don't know if someone got the ratios wrong and put in 6x the ginger and red onion/shallot and could only handle like 6 bites. I've had Peruvian Chowfa before and loved it and this was absolutely nothing like that. Wife was very happy with her salad. Daughters had the burrito and 1/4 chicken, neither were more than mid. read more

The food is actually rather good. It is exactly what it says it is. However, the building is rather big, bare and therefore noisy.

Didnt expect such a good place on a road trip! Love this place, the food is great, sauces are excellent, great ambiance, and super clean.

3.8 Having a good friend whose family opened up many Peruvian restaurants in CA, I absolutely love Peruvian food. So, as we were driving through St. George back to Vegas, we made a stop for dinner. Casual and clean, easy to order at counter, with food brought to your table when ready. I ordered the half chicken and my choice of two sides were the plantains and green beans. Presentation looked great, but I was unfortunately very underwhelmed with the dish. The rotisserie chicken lacked the flavors that I was used to, the plantains were too charred for my liking, and the green beans were inedible. The beans were topped with some kind of sauce that was soooo salty, I couldn't eat them. I should have notified the kitchen.... The Inca burrito was ok, contained more of the fillers, rather than chicken. The sweet potato fries were nice and crispy. The chicken sandwich was ok as well. Good but not standout. Overall ok. read more

WOW! This place was popping at 5:15 on a Friday evening. Fast casual restaurant with a selection of family size meals, bowls, sandwiches/wraps, individual meals and kids menu. The line was long when we walked in and it continued to grow on our way out. Hubs & I were quite impressed with how fast the food came out. Food was hot, spicy and very fresh tasting. The restaurant has some booths, long tables and table tops. The only downside, for me, were the Pepsi products. I'm a Coke fan. LOL. Too bad this place is only in St. George. It would do great in the East Valley (Mesa/Gilbert) area in AZ. read more

Sooo good! We found Viva Chicken through Yelp! While passing through on vacation, we were looking for something different and this spot was it. It is a Peruvian inspired cuisine, you order at counter and sit down restaurant, but nicely decorated with a casual vibe. It had colorful art work on the walls and an open concept. Parking lot is shared but that did not seem to be an issue. It's off the main road behind another shopping area so it can be hidden. Service was good, you order at the counter, find your own seating and your food is brought to the table. They have a salsa bar with a few options. Their portions are decent so you could likely share an entree item. We ordered a Tacu Bowl w/ chicken, steak saltado and two kids meals (kids pulled chicken w/ fruit & chicken fried rice). All entrees were tasty and simply done well! The flavor of the steak was amazing and the Tacu bowl was delicious. I wish we had one in CA!!! I'd eat here weekly. Stop by and try it you won't be disappointed! Prices were valuable for the portions they give and it was really clean. read more

O M G! love love love love!!!! Staying overnight in St. George as we head to Zion and dropped by for dinner and wow! Didn't think very much of it as we pulled in, looks like a pretty fast casual chicken place. Order at the front, take the number to your table, and they bring the food to you. We ordered the steak saltado, viva salad, and a whole chicken with corn salad, cilantro rice, and plantains. We also got the chicha morada and the yellow drink (forgot what was in it). Our total came out for $67 for all of that and for 4 people (cheap!!!)!!!! The food came out very fast and they provide you with plates and also have three sauces available! Whole chicken: delicious, super juicy and very easy to eat off the bone! Corn salad: omg big ass corn kernels! refreshing Cilantro rice: pretty standard but good Plantains: very yummy, nice treat at end of meal Viva salad: also refreshing and love the balsamic dressing Steak saltado: delish! fries, shallots, tomatoes, rice, steak all so yum!!!!!! Drinks: very sweet and concentrated so we watered them down, but still very good. Overall: I wish I had a viva chicken in CA near me... It's cheap, fast, and feels a whole lot healthier than other places. The food was delicious and very well done. Didn't expect much, but am now absolutely blown away by this yummy spot! read more

Quick and healthy meal and good value. The salad was a bit disjointed but fine--it felt like it didn't fit together all that well, but the separate parts were fine, and there was a good amount of chicken when I added that.

Walking in on a Tuesday night and the employees were super helpful as one person in our group was highly allergic to dairy. They had the allergen list ready and was able to guide us through the menu. We ordered the family platter with shredded chicken. It was also on a Tuesday deal for about $5-6 off. We also ordered a large order (8 pieces) of fried yuca. The yuca was creamy and almost tasted like mashed potatoes. It was so tasty. Everything was so delicious, well seasoned, and the chicken was perfectly cooked with great moisture content. The restaurant was clean and self serve station w beverages and hot dipping sauces were clean as well. I will definitely come back the next time we are in St George. Great bang for the buck! read more

Ok so I always thought this place was a local restaurant but I had to do some research after I saw some people in my hotel wearing Viva Chicken shirts. I will still claim it's not a chain as this location is the only one west of the Mississippi River. Anyway, this place offers rotisserie chicken that has Peruvian spices and some fantastic dipping sauces for the chicken. I got the quarter chicken (all white meat) with corn salad and green beans. I signed up for their loyalty program and received a free passion fruit drink. The corn salad has corn, tomatoes, onions, and another kind of bean with some cheese. It was rather tasty and I would recommend. The green beans are cooked with some spices that make them very delicious. As I mentioned they also have sauces to dip the chicken into. They have three different kinds. A mild yellow one (which is bland), a hot red one (has good heat but low on flavor) , and my favorite the middle green one (this one has the right amount of heat as well as a great blend of flavors!!) Come check out Viva Chicken and enjoy some great chicken!! read more

I can't believe I haven't left a review for this place yet. I literally cannot drive by without stopping every time. I'm on the 15 in St. George. It's a must visit situation. Their Peruvian chicken is absolutely incredible. I'm not sure what they marinated in, but I think it's magic. Also, all of the sides are delicious and so are the fresh made juices. Been stopping by here for several years never been disappointed always super happy with the quality of the food and the level of service. The ambience inside the place is fine. It's a little loud and I always forget there's a back room that's a little bit quieter. If the big room is already full of patrons I only wish that they had more locations in the Western United States. Not sure why they only have this place in Utah and every other location is on the East Coast. Go Viva chicken keep doing your thing and I'll keep eating your delicious food :-) read more

Viva chicken for surely puts the viva into its chicken, the flavors were so lively our whole group who was dining nearly shed a tear. We were passing through St. George when I saw Viva Chickens menu. Needing a healthy meal after a weekend of eating dirt in Moab, Viva Chicken seemed too good to be true. Extremely healthy options, for a reasonable price, and served to you quickly? I'm not sure I've ever experienced such a thing. However, upon arriving, I discovered dreams do come true. I got a 1/4 chicken with two sides, and everything was wildly flavorful without leaving me feeling heavy and gross afterwards. I also have to mention, the staff were insanely nice. Everyone answered questions and seemed like they were in the best. Long story short-if you are passing through St. George you should eat here. We are currently scheming for a way to get this place out in La (the land of extremely expensive mediocre food). Thank you Viva Chicken for your service read more
