I think we got seated in a non assigned area. We waited quite a bit for service after getting seated. No worries. Lazy Sunday. But we were starving. I had just watched snipingfordom instagram reels. So expectations were high. We loved the guacamole!! Shrimp fajitas for two (or 4 lol-- we literally took half home) Decor is beautiful... I feel transported to Quinta Avenida read more

Viva La Fiesta - Sangarita - Mexican Near Me - Springfield, Ohio

Love the Springfield site Always great food and service Last night we were there for taco Tuesday, delicious read more

Parking is in a garage or on the Public lot. Service was amazingly fast for how huge and crowded this restaurant was. Chips and salsa were served as we sat down at the table. Our food was very good. I had the chicken quesadilla with rice and refried beans. Our friends had Pollo Azteca. Plenty of food to share. The restaurant was a little loud but that is to be expected because it was a huge venue. We will definitely be back! read more

We came to Viva as a backup plan, when our first-choice restaurant had a long line. We were hungry, it was close by, and it was margarita o'clock. This place surpassed expectations in every way. Service was friendly and professional. Chips and salsa were fresh and homemade. Food came out quickly. Entrees were beautifully plated, with plenty of veggies. Portions were big and prices very reasonable. The enchiladas made three meals! If I lived closer, I would eat here frequently. read more

Some locations manage to hold on to the same restaurant for AGES, while others have almost a revolving door of "here today, gone tomorrow" establishments, some of which you barely get to know before they're gone. This corner here in the "Field of Springs" may FINALLY have found a restaurant with some "staying power!!" I decided to try this new addition to Springfield's ever GROWING list of Mexican restaurants (I arrived in the early 2000's to not much more than Taco Bell (!!) or Chi-Chi's!!) during "Restaurant Week" here downtown. I had THINGS to do, so I broke one of my "rules" and ordered my meal to go. Is what it is.... I enjoyed checking out the restaurant's creative decor while I waited. Impressive amount of work went into getting the VIBE going here, I liked it, esp. the bar area. Reasonable pricing on the menu, quick and friendly "to-go" service, but I wasn't nearly as impressed by the "special" restaurant week menu item (chile relleno burrito) as I thought I would be. Yes, I do certainly KNOW it would have been better ordered to "stay" vs. to go, but I wasn't a fan of the ground beef version of the normally cheese-stuffed chile, and while it was far from BAD, I wouldn't choose it again. LOTS of other choices, though, so I'll be back for MAS, and so should you!! Buen provecho!! read more

Heard about this place on instagram and finally made it. Ordered a fajita burrito that was huge and very good. Grecia, my server, did a fine job with a smile. I'd definitely come back again next time in Springfield. read more

Food was descent, but not remarkable and things went downhill from there. Waitress was terrible. Food missing a side but she never checked back...even tried flagging her down. Drinks were average at best, it again, good luck getting a second one or even a glass of water...waitress no where to be found. If food were better, I'd probably give it another shot, but this is not the case. Carnitas should not be fatty...you can't hide poor meat with a bunch of sauce that later gives you heartburn. Adios subpar mexican joint!! read more

Amazing service. Larger interior. Thoroughly designed decor. Extensive menu with above-average portions. Average prices for food quality and service. Full bar to include house margaritas. Street tacos, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, and other American Mexican staples. Free Chips and salsa. Causal dining experience. Parking on the street or in the parking garage. read more

Viva La Fiesta - This is Quesadilla. - Mexican Near Me - Springfield, Ohio

Viva La Delicious. My son's birthday and he requested Viva La Fiesta. Located in downtown Springfield Ohio ( Which, BTW is really becoming a place to go for great food, free parking, and lots of places to hangout). I was honestly not excited about hitting another Mexican Restaurant. I find them to be pretty much all the same. The flavors and plating, no matter what state I'm in, there is little creativity to set one apart from the other. However, Viva broke that mold and is now my most favorite Mexican Restaurant in Ohio and second over all next to Sophia's of New Mexico in Albuquerque. The ambience was cool at the bar area. Great drawings throughout. The service was on point and the food and drink selections were abundant with dishes I'd never seen before. The plating was a step up from the norm. I went with the California Carnitas. It was beautiful and delicious from the slow roasting of the pork, the perfectly seasoned grilled jalapeño's and onion, and fresh vegetables. A big portion that led to a leftover lunch the next day. I don't normally eat leftover's but.... Anyway, just give it a try, and find your flavor. Oh and try the house made Tomatillo Salsa and Tamale. Scrumptious. Thanks spell check for that word. read more

This place is awesome. The service was great and we received our food quickly. The chicken nachos were hot and the chicken was tender. The presentation of the Chipotle wedge salad was beautiful and was delicious. The design and art work of the place is really unique and nice. I will definitely come here again. read more

The food was average Mexican American. The service was good. Ambiance was fine. The flavored margarita flights was one of the worst things I've ever tasted. I was hoping for real fruit margaritas, like Mode X at The Greene... these were chemical fruit flavor with high fructose corn syrup. Literally, sickening. If you must go, stick with water. read more

Fantastic unique Mexican food that's unbelievably cheap! A fantastic sports bar. They even have a giant mural of Joe Burrow! Off the TV is including 120 inch 4 up screen. read more

My wife and I ate at Viva La Fiesta for the first time. The restaurant has a modern fun vibe. I had Viva Chimichanga and she got the chicken fajitas. Overall, the service was excellent. Plenty of staff, with several of them checking on us and bringing us things. We received our food very quickly and it was freshly prepared and delivered hot. Good portion sizes and value for the price. I We look forward to our next visit and would highly recommend it to you. read more

Stopped in early on a football Saturday afternoon for appetizers and a drink. Recently updated interior, cool murals on the walls, with large TVs and good spots to watch the game in the bar area. Good selection of drafts and cocktails my wife loved her Margarita. We ordered the shrimp ceviche and the skillet queso fundido, both were large servings and delicious. Service fast and professional. Overall good drinks, great food reasonably priced. read more

Great food, great ambiance, fantastic service. Gosh this place is good I hope to see it last here for a long long time!!

Food was decent. Birria taco shells were a little on the hard side. Good portion sizes. Salsa needs some more kick to it. Maybe some lime juice or a little spice. Salsa was the same as other Mexican places in town. Staff was nice but rushed us at the end to get up while still working on last couple of bites and also came by and asked if they could take our drinks. Probably due to the wait they had but we will return to try more. read more

Great decor and reasonable pricing. Give it a try. Bigger on the inside than it looks from the street. read more

This is easily the best restaurant in Springfield and my new favorite spot for Mexican! Decor is unique, vibe is great with plenty of screens for a game day. The staff are so welcoming and friendly! I was amazed at how fast we received our food (less than 5 minutes after ordering) and how fresh it was. I live about an hour away but will 100% be making the trip back soon!! read more

Very good food and drinks. The interior decorations are impressive. A lot of work has gone into this place. Lots of staff and activity.

Good luck finding what you want or even worse. Try getting something on DoorDash the way at least an hour then cancel the order with no explanation half the time they just don't have what you want or don't wanna make it. read more

Great look, great location, mediocre food, worst margarita ever (90% water) replaced by surly waiter with "skinny" one not requested that was 90% lemon juice. read more
