    Chelle Y.

    I have visited Viva Jalisco several times now over the years, and the food is consistently great, and the service is always super friendly. I think I received the fastest service of my life today; they were on top of refilling chips & drinks and checking in often without being overbearing. Please come and show this family-owned business some love!

    Chile Relleno
    Janet N.

    The chile relleno was pretty good! I liked the batter on the chile, and the salsa was delicious. Not too spicy either especially since the cheese balances it out. The rice and beans were just okay. Altogether a pretty good lunch and it was ready within 15 minutes

    Phillip P.

    Comfort food that's super ono and delicious. You'll be so happy, it's made with love and aloha from the aunties.

    $45 quesadilla
    Sage P.

    Worst service and pricing I have ever experienced in two decades of travel and eating out. Charged me $45 for a plain cheese quesadilla with rice and beans and ice water to drink. Manager was the server and was extremely rude and short. Do not come here if you want a good experience or any money left in your wallet. Modern day robbery.

    Chicken Enchilada
    Michaela D.

    Updating my review after going in-person. The last time the pork was a bit dry, but this time around I went for mainly chicken and that was fantastic. The food this time around was all top notch and the chips definitely seem to be made in-house. They were so nice and thin and crunchy with a delicious salsa alongside it. All the food was great, but the highlight was how quick and friendly the service was. Our waitress seemed to be the only one around and was on top of everything. The cook brought the food from the back and even room the time to refill my soda. Everyone working together for excellent service makes it well-worth going in for.

    Margarita! Soooo good.

    I love this Jalisco's. A warm welcome always, and especially from the woman owner (how are you, my lady?), and the cozy, warm ambiance. Food is yummy. Our regular dish is chicken fajitas or chicken chimichanga. Always hot & tasty! But the best is the margarita!! So yummy and pack a punch. Get the "special" with the little bottle of Gran Gala liqueur!

    75% lettuce.

    Let's start with the good. I came in at lunch and it looked kind of busy. Only one waitress seemed to be on staff. She was great! And she was doing a good job handling all of her customers, so huge kudos to her! And the food came extremely quickly. I ordered the taco salad with picadillo and it tasted good. Now comes the not-so-great part. It was 3/4 shredded lettuce with some meat and a tiny amount of tomato and even less cheese on top. I left the vast majority of lettuce and the fried taco bowl. I was in and out in only about 15 minutes! BEWARE: This restaurant was VERY expensive! CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTIONS TO THE RESTAURANT: *Lower your prices a bit *Font on your menu is tiny, it was very difficult to read. Otherwise menu was nice visually. *For your prices, your chips and salsa portion was very small. *Get rid of the fried shells for taco salad, those went out in the 1990's, and "make" the salads. Probably won't be coming back.

    Allegedly enchiladas

    Ordered take out. Container lid reeks of mold. No enchilada sauce on enchiladas, just partially melted chunk of cheese in a tortilla. Stale chips. Will definitely never eat here again.

    We went in for lunch and luckily it wasn't too busy. The staff greeted us within minutes and were very friendly. They were patient with us as we took a while to decide. We decided to order from the lunch menu. I was shocked at the prices for brunch, appetizers and dinner, so we ordered from the seafood menu. To my surprise the seafood menu was reasonably priced so we went with that. My kiddo loves shrimp! The food was delivered within 15 minutes of ordering. The food was okay, nothing memorable where I would go back. I did enjoy the friendly atmosphere and I would go back just for that. It's worth taking a look.

    Mannat S.

    Ordered takeout from them over the weekend and while the quantity of food for one entree was great, the food lacked a lot of flavor. I ordered the combo with 4 items, and all of them fell apart little bland to the point where I ended up adding my own sauces or seasoning at home. The enchilada was definitely the best of the three, but the tostada and chalupa did not have much flavor.

    What an experience for a birthday celebration. There were a lot of factors to went into making this…read moreall special. It was a Friday afternoon, so there was no one else there but us The ambiance of the place was so chill with the wispy octopi and blowfish that was reminiscent of the Crusty crab, if it was allowed to mature and become refined. The food was great but the drinks were phenomenal. The key component was the master bartender that just happened to be on shift that day. Michael. Talk about being someone who has a passion for their craft, being a master and loving every minute of it. The history of the drinks and their components, the origins of the makers, the sensory experience of the bitters and personal stories that went into every drink that he made. Some of them on the menu and some of them not. I asked for a rye whiskey drink and he produced the most amazing manhattan I've ever had. I inquired about Mezcal and he made me a drink that embodied the structured flavors of smoke and leather with sweet and savory. And then there was absinthe. The original Zombie was a fine introduction to that, and it did not disappoint, but he had a plan for each path. We will absolutely be back for more.

    I'm not sure if we caught them on a bad night but we did not have a good experience here…read more Service was slow and we sat for a while before someone came to take our orders. The Cajun tots we received were cold and hardly any Cajun spice on them. I thought they mistakenly gave us the plain tots. No cutlery was offered with our sandwiches. We asked for a condiment but didn't get it until we were nearly done eating. It was a bummer as I was showing this place to a friend. I had talked it up and was left disappointed.

The menu changes seasonally, and they host special events once or twice a month with unique fixed food and drink pairings-so there's always something new to try (and the events are a blast). A huge part of what keeps us coming back is the staff. The servers are friendly and attentive (and a lot of fun to chat with if it gets slow). And if you sit at the bar (highly recommend!), Cameron and Michael take it to another level. They're both talented, passionate and a lot of fun. They're always happy to make something off-menu or surprise us with bartender's choice. They've definitely turned us into cocktail snobs lol. And the food absolutely holds its own. We originally came for the cocktails on another bartender's recommendation, but we were blown away by how good everything has been. The ribeye is easily as good (or better than) steaks I've paid twice as much for elsewhere. The burger and fries are among the best around-and these days, one of the best deals anywhere if you go during happy hour. Similar can be said for everything else on the menu; we've had every appetizer, entree and side dish at least twice :P And since we're usually posted up at the bar, when there's a lull we sometimes get to chat w/ the kitchen, and it's clear they take real pride in what they do. It's just an awesome place with awesome people! :)

It's at the corner of one of the buildings. Dark, mid sized interior with some cool neon lights and light up marble pattern bar counter. Not very busy when I went at happy hour/dinner time on a Friday night, but the place is busier later at night on Friday/Saturday during the warmer months. Sometimes they have events and DJs. Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

We got the Atlantic salmon BLT sandwich and the piece of salmon was huge. The paella was delicious and I highly recommend it. The service was good as well.
