Nice neighborhood spot! I have wanted a place to stop by after work just to unwind then go home and this maybe the place. Location is good and place is clean. Not too big but big enough if you know what I mran! The service is good too. The food is basic but then I got a basic dish, wings! I know but I came for the drinks not the food. Price point is nice too and the were setting up for live music. Overall a 7/10 for me. read more

My husband and I were on a Date. We had not been out on in a while. I've been looking for a good Mexican restaurant that I can call my favorite since we moved from Florida. We are vegan. I'm also lactose intolerant. I asked for 2 vegan chimichanga meals, we asked the server to substitute the sour cream with Guacamole instead. The Sever was really sweet. Normally when we go to Mexican restaurants they do that free of Charge. They charged us $8 for a very small bowl of Guacamole. We ask them would they substitute it and the manager said no. An Avacodo is only $1.00-1.50. Tomatoes and other ingredients to make it are not that expensive. At some point you can't nickel and dime everything and also be about the money. My Dad ran an outstanding construction business and He always said that it's about good customer service. When you are nice to people they will keep Coming back. My husband and I pastor a church. We probably would have had our entire church come. We were talking and had planned to come back many more times. We homeschool as well and have a HomeSchool Coop at our church. I would have invited the homeschool coop as well. We are always recommending people to places that have vegan and vegetarian options. We will not be coming back. It's not always about the money. Manage with Love and make your customers happy! Treat them like family: This is how you will Grow your business. It's a game changer. Alwway remember , you never know who you might be meeting or talking too. See how you can be a blessing to others and God will bless you in exchange. read more

I ordered the Memphis burger. My order arrived an hour later and the meat was Very Dry, hard, and nasty! I expressed my concerns with the manger and they did not accommodate me in anyway. The service was very low quality and the waitors/ waitresses were very entitle. I do not recommend this place to ANYONE! read more

I like this place and have eaten there probably 30+ times over the years, but now; sadly, I am leaving them a 1 star review. It all boils down to the COVID-19 virus. Why? Because they are charging a service fee on EVERY ORDER PLACED. When I mentioned it to the guy at the register, he just shrugged. At a time where most restaurants are begging and pleading for business, doing delivery by the waitstaff, or anything else.... Viva Mexico decides to charge extra for carryout. Enjoy the extra charge. I'll remember this, and tell everyone else as well. read more

First time here in many years. By and large, I think Mexican restaurants are superior to American ones in terms of service and food quality. Viva Mexico is no exception. I am eating the enchiladas supremas with the variety of enchiladas. Bean, beef, chicken, and cheese. Very, very good. I will return Salsa: just the right amount of kick. Very good. Also just the right temperature. Slightly chilled but not cold. I hate cold salsa with warm chips and they got it right. Service: wait time just a few minutes. Average for Mexican food. Tea is topped off without my asking however she takes my tea away from me to go refill it. I hate that. Temperature: not too good in this department(except for the salsa). Food was warm but not super hot. Plate was not warmed up so food cools down quickly. Mexican food typically will burn you when it is served, but not my plate. Appearance: just kind of so so. Dirty carpet, worn out seat covers on booths, chairs and tables that wobble, limited decor, but nothing really bad. Tables are being cleaned promptly and the dining room appears clean. Health department score: 98! Way to go! Music: low level oldies instead of Mexican music. I actually found this to be a pleasant surprise. Menu: everything you can think of in every combination is on this menu. Also plenty of pictures. I think my biggest complaint is the temperature. If my plate was piping hot it would deserve five stars. I talked to the cashier about this and her said the enchilada plates are microwaved. Well there you go. No wonder. read more

Updated review...Apparently the more empty this restaurant is the slower everything moves. I eat here regularly and rarely have a problem. Today however I showed up later than usual so the restaurant was emptying out from the lunch crowd. Despite that, it took 2 attempts to get cheese dip and 3 attempts to get my entree order in properly due to language barriers with the initial server. Ultimately it took me nearly an hour to get in-and-out whereas normally it takes me 30 minutes or less. The food was still good but given the service issues I have to drop a star this review. I will probably be back in the next few weeks, hopefully they do better next time. read more

Had the Pollo asada burrito. Very good with guacamole. Salsa similar to La Hacienda! Again, live music on Saturday! I had margarita on the rocks with an extra shot. All good! Lively place to celebrate anything! read more

Top notch!! Quick delivery and delicious food!!! We will definitely eat here again!!!

This restaurant is okay for lunch. The wait time for seating was pretty quick but if you want refills you can forget it. The waiter seems to be pretty busy for our table. We were waiting on drinks and chips but he took forever. The cheese dip was watery and not tasty as I imaged. My guest ordered the chimichangas but didn't care to much for it. She mentioned that there was no seasoning and the ground beef was tasteless. I wouldn't recommend ordering either of the two. The salsa was okay but seems to be better than the food. I am pretty disappointed here about this place. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! Me and another party went to eat and after receiving the wrong order,we got the ticket and noticed a 18% gratuity. After telling her that u don't add gratuity to a party of 2 plus the service was atrocious. Went to pay the ticket and gave them a coupon for 20% off the order they would not honor it,when asked why,the police were called. The servers name was Marta!! Stay clear of this place!!! read more

Order the Frozen Margarita tonight and it tasted like Splenda, I informed the waitress and she instantly told me she could not remake or replace my drink..I ended up paying $8.90 for a nasty drink that I left on the table.The staff act as if they cant speak English but they can count Money. Horrible Service..Never Again! Stay Away.... read more

So Husband and I met some friends here for dinner last night. I ordered the veggie quesadilla and salad. Never would have I expected carrots, broccoli, or zucchini in a quesadilla but somehow it worked. And it was delicious! Who knew? Husband had no complaints about his combination tacos. Our friends enjoyed their nachos and chorizo tacos, as well. Huge amount of food for cheap. A perfect combination! We will be back soon. read more

I always ordered off the Uber Eats app. It was my favorite Mexican place in the area. I've spent a lot of money here. But yesterday since I was already out in the area, I decided to stop by. When I got to the register, Jimmy (I think that's his name) didn't even acknowledge my presence. I stood there for 4 minutes before he said a word to me. No "hello" or "I'll be right with you" He spoke to other people as they walked by. I should have just left but I was hungry. He gave me the wrong order so I had to wait another 10 min. I got my food and left. But I went back inside because I just felt disrespected. I told him how I felt and that I spend a lot of money there. He then held my $18 receipt up and said "this? This is a lot of money?" and pretty much laughed. No apology, no nothing. I will not be coming back or ordering online again. It's unfortunate because I really love the food. read more

Service is lacking. Drinks are mediocre (but have good drink specials on mon tues and Thursday) food is good. I would order take out before I would ever go back and eat. I got vegetarian fajitas. Which were awesome with a ton of real(more than the pep/onion/mushroom blend) veggies. My gf ordered carnitas and said they are really good( coming from a Mexican/Texan) Guac was on point and salsa was delish too. read more

I love Mexican food and have traveled extensively for business and personal purposes. This is definitely one of the best I have experienced and makes me wish I came to Memphis more often. Even the house margaritas are decent which is very uncharacteristic of most restaurants. I ordered chicken fajitas and my wife ordered the Jalisco burrito which was huge. All meats were obviously marinated and seasoned to perfection. It was just all delicious including the fresh chips and salsa. read more

I enjoy the food. However the service is borderline. On one 1 occasion the service may be great. Go back on another occasion service isn't so great. I've been a total of 5 times. Each time the service is different. However, the food is great. 4 stars were given mostly for the food. read more

Lunch was good and relatively fast. Tortilla soup was large with plenty of chicken but the broth was somewhat bland. The service was poor. The waitress came three times to take orders from only 4 people. Order was accurate but took an abnormal amount of time come out. Over all this place is ok but there are better places closer to eat lunch. read more

I recently ate here during my weekday lunch break. I expected quick service, as most restaurants in the area know we office worker-bees are usually on a one-hour break schedule, and that includes driving to and back. The initial service was great, friendly server greeted me and got my drink quickly. The traditional chips and salsa-the salsa has a great flavor, but it is watery, no thickness to hold it to the chips. You have to find curved chips to spoon up the salsa or just use a spoon! I am not Mexican, so maybe that consistency is more authentic (let me know). My food came quickly, looked good, ample portions. The food was flavorful, but (no surprise), pretty standard Mexican fare, an entre with rice and beans. The rice and beans were fine, but nothing you haven't seen before. The chimichanga was excellent and was over-stuffed with the filling! Guacamole alert-they added plenty of guac, not chincy like some places! A pleasant surprise! Nice garnish of a little green salad and pico on the side; I appreciate the added greenery. But when I finished eating, I could not find my server-he had disappeared. It took me ten minutes to get the attention of someone to bring me my ticket. I still tipped 20%, but they were not so crowded that they should be ignoring customers. Summary: good food, affordable prices, passable décor (standard sombreros and dancing gauchos on the walls), but the service has some rough edges. The music is traditional Mexican and upbeat, adding to a pretty upbeat atmosphere. All in all, I plan to return pretty regularly, and I will update if the service issues appear to be addressed. read more

Great neighborhood Mexican restaurant! I lived in Texas for 20 yrs and just moved back to Memphis a year ago so I know good Mexican food. I tried several Mexican restaurants in Memphis in search of good Tex-Mex food and margaritas. This is by far the best I've had. There's nothing fancy about this place but the food is good, the margaritas are strong and the service is good. read more

I love this place! It has changed hands a few times but the people and food have been fantastic always. Prices are affordable! Environment is quiet peaceful and yet always some types of entertainment from the t.v.s to live music. Definitely worth checking out they make me feel like family every time! read more

It is hit or miss when you dine in, but beware of a call I order. This will be the second time that I came in ordered, waited far to long, over 30 min, and arrived home to a Torta with no a avocado, Tacos with out the addition of cheese and tomatoes that I requested. Be assured that they charged me, but place them in my order, no. This will be my last time hoping they get it right. read more

I went to this location on 11/29/2015. I was eating salsa and then my sister and lastly my mom.. when my mom put some into her boil and then came straw paper was inside the salsa. I forgot take picture of it but I really felt the need to say something so people are aware what they are during. They are pouring out the unuse salsa. That's the most nasty thing in the world and they said it was from a onion. Please be very careful when eating at this location. read more

Excellent margaritas. The service is phenomenal and they stay open late every Friday night. The fajitas are also delicious as well.
