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 read more

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! read more

Love this locally owned joint! Always friendly faces, fantastic food and tasty drinks!

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. read more

Viva Jalisco Mexican Restaurant - $45 quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Bothell, Washington

Small little restaurant but the quality of the food is good. price is a little too high.

Have been going here for over 10 years and the quality is always top tier. The staff is super friendly and the food is delicious, definitely recommend if you're in the Bothell area. read more

We have been coming to this restaurant for many years and have good memories here, including an anniversary and birthdays. So hard to say this, but this our 2nd visit in a few months and the quality has gone way down. We will not be returning. The main description that goes through all the food and drinks is watery. Got 2 margaritas and a beer, I would say there was little to NO tequila in the margaritas, just sweetly gross. The chips were stale and again very watery salsa, the fajitas were 70% onions in the $45 EXPENSIVE fajitas and watery beans. Other items ordered as we were a party of 4 were enchiladas, with a table spoon of meat in them and a chalupa that was fine (just okay). The entire bill was $170 for watery bad cheap food. We do not go out as much and this was supposed to be a treat. So disappointed. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We've been coming here all the time, but this visit was really disappointing. The chips were stale, the service was horrible, and the food quality has gone way down--while prices have gone way up. We ordered fried ice cream, and it looked like it was just rolled in plain corn flakes. We even asked for a candle for a special occasion and were told, " no" Sadly, it feels like they've stopped caring about the experience. read more

Got the huge dos burrito and shared it with my husband. It was so delicious. And a huge amount of food. Got it for take out and ate it at home. read more

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. read more

This food certainly fits into mediocre. If you like taco Tuesday shells swimming in beans and rice, this is it. They also do NOT have al pastor or carnitas as meat options. Very underwhelming for the rating read more

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. read more

It's been a really long time since I'd been here but decided to give it a shot again. My date really enjoys Mexican food and I remember this place being pretty good! It looks about the same as it ever did. Perhaps a little more empty; one entire section was closed up, but I assume that's 'cause we got there a bit late post-dinner rush. The staff was pretty friendly. We shared a 2-person fajitas, it was ample food for both of us. I had a couple of glasses of wine, which was fine for the house pour. There was plenty left over to take home, so the portions were generous enough, including the setup plates. I really would've preferred a bit more flavor though, it wasn't bad, just sort of middle of the road I suppose. It's probably due for a bit of a deep cleaning. I didn't really want to rest anything I was going to handle or actually eat on the table. It just has that "dated" feel about it. Not really bad but a little refresh could ean another star in my book. I'd still recommend going; it's nice to have non-chain Mexican options scattered around the area. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great food, friendly staff, good menu and awesome atmosphere. The Carne Asada is consistently the best I've ever had

A small and cozy restaurant ...... I called first time as was looking for doing catering for 15 people. Service was good as waiters helped me to decide the food and options they have and can make as per your need. We decided to have a platter of some 75+ dollars each having quesadilla , chimichanga etc . We took both non veg and veg. The quantity of food was good But the taste of food was a disappointment. We didn't liked the food at all :( as it was very bland . read more

Always good food and service at Jalisco. The fajita salad is huge! The chicken is seasoned and tender on the salad. The enchilada was very good, plenty of sauce, rice and beans. The shredded beef was very good. The inside decor could use some updates but don't let that stop you from coming here. read more

Been going here since I was a kid. Great food. Relaxed atmosphere and very family friendly.

This is one of our go-to places. My favorite dish is the crema enchiladas. Tonight I tried the Seafood Soup. I don't have the Spanish name for it right now but I will come back later and fill in. I was hoping it was a wonderful lower carb option but it was served very hot and too spicy for me. read more

Disclaimer is we are from CA so high expectations . Overall great beans with my vegetarian enchiladas. Food was good but not great. My enchiladas needed more flavor and to be hotter. I'd eat here again but it won't be a go to. The staff were super friendly so always a plus read more

Everything was so great. Food came out super fast and tasted AMAZING. We were seated right away and our server was sweet and patient and attentive. Not to mention, the raspberry margarita was the best one I've ever had!!!! Thank you guys we will be back!' read more

My second time updating this review. I get take out here all the time. Every other week. The last few times I have noticed they changed their takeout containers to much cheaper crappy quality, and they are filling up the containers less with food. I really don't care if they use cheaper containers, however, these containers cause the cheese on food to stick to the paper thin tops the containers now have. It really takes away from the quality of the food to go, and the quantity has definitely been reduced. This place was great. I started by giving it a great review, but the service and quantity of food served has slowly been going down read more

One of our favorite places to eat. We've been going here for years, at least once a week, often more than that. I love the Tacos Al Carbon, chimichangas, enchiladas, pork carnitas tacos, chicken flautas, etc. My wife and son love the chicken carnitas. Their complimentary chips and salsa are also excellent. We sometimes order a big container of salsa to take home with us. read more

Ordered Mexican molcajete mixto, combo 5 with tamales taco enchilada, and don jose platter. Everything was pretty decent. Taco crust was super crispy. Portions were large (but was expected as we ordered the platters). The molcajete was very salty. Lots of selections. In general, a great first visit but not good enough for a second. read more

We have been eating here for years and I understand inflation etc, however, we ordered a chicken meal to go that was highly priced at $23. when getting home, there was not more than 12 small pieces of chicken in the container It was not even 1/4 full. We will NEVER be going back. read more

The worst food ever The taco salad had minimal flavorless chicken no beans very little chz Never will I go back read more

Very friendly with huge portions. My party of 3 were all satisfied with flavor and size of entree's. Complementary chips and salsa, and lettuce slaw for appetizer. Service was a little spotty especially when we were there in mid afternoon with hardly anyone there. Lamb shank was excellent. Bottomless sodas which is always a plus. They also gave us a bonus Mexican pizza which was good. read more

I was hoping for a wonderful experience, but was very disappointed. Arrived more than 5 minutes before lunch menu was over and our waistress made it sound like we couldn't order from the lunch menu. My husband ordered a shredded beef burrito plate and me the cheese enchilada and shredded beef taco. The salsa and slaw was really good while we waited. When the waitress brought over our food, my taco was shredded beef and chicken. Normally I wouldn't mind but morning sickness has steered me away from chicken. My husband's shredded beef was also shredded beef and chicken. I advised the waitress who argued with me about the white meat in my taco saying it was beef - wow! White beef? She then took my plate and talked to the chef in back for awhile. She brought me out my taco which was now beef with a little less chicken and she brought a sample of chicken to show me what chicken looks like. (Btw there was still chicken in the taco) Due to the fact that she brought my same plate back, my enchilada was now a cheese enchilada with hard cheese in it. *sigh* I decide to chalk it up as a waste of $25 and left no tip. No wonder we were the only customers. read more

Overall: This place was honestly really disappointing after reading the other reviews and deciding to come here. I would not return Experience/Service: We came at lunch hour and there was nobody there. We were immediately seated but it took them probably 10 minutes to get us waters and chips and salsa which seemed odd. They also only came to refill waters once and never checked in on how our food was. Prices: Pricing is okay, comparable to some other places in the area. Some menu items like fajitas were a couple dollars more expensive though. Food: First we tried the chips and salsa. The chips were typical but good but the pico de gallo was very bland and was not balanced at all (tons of onion). The chicken fajitas were not bad but not great. Fajitas a 3/5 and 2/5 for the price. The chicken was grilled and just put on top of the veggies not mixed in. The veggies only contained green peppers and onion as well. As far as rice and beans go, the rice was kinda dry and bens were almost completely liquified. Food was disappointing. read more
