We tried Viva Villa for a late lunch. Their vegetarian options were good. The guacamole and salsa and chips were fresh and very tasty. The restaurant was not busy Saturday afternoon .The service was outstanding. Alejandro was attentive and very helpful in going over the menu. I would recommend this restaurant and will go back the next time we are in Greenville. read more

Viva Villa is a Mexican eatery/bar located on South Main St in downtown Greenville adjacent to Fluor Field. The interiors are colorfully decorated with plenty of indoor or bar area seating, and limited patio seating out front. I liked that their menu had cheaper options for food for those not looking to eat a full meal, which makes it ideal for visiting either before or after a game at the adjacent ballpark. Meals start off with complimentary chips and salsa, which is always appreciated while waiting for meals to be prepared. I went with 2 chicken quesadillas (one with grilled chicken and one with shredded chicken). I found both to be extremely flavorful, with high quality tortilla shell and wonderfully delicious cheese that hit all the right notes with me. Service was extremely quick and friendly as well. I wouldn't hesitate to return and would gladly recommend Viva Villa to others looking for good Mexican food in Greenville. read more

Viva Villa has a fun vibe and a cute, open space. All the drinks looked super fun, and the ones I tried were good. The staff were very friendly, though service was a bit slow. I tried the al pastor street tacos, which came with pineapple--different from the usual, but it worked. Overall, a good place to relax with drinks and decent food, but I do feel like there are other Mexican spots in town I'd choose first. read more

Really good food, excellent service by Casey, our server. My second time here. I had a steak taco; my friend had the Carne Asada, huge amount of food! read more

My Mom and I found Viva Villa and are so happy we did. The food was excellent. Had the hard shell Taco Special and Mom had the Shrimp Fajitas. Natalia, our server, was extraordinary. She was friendly and offered her favorites to us. The restaurant is cute, clean, and has great prices. I would recommend. We will be back! read more

Everything was great except the cleanliness of the menu itself. 4 of the 6 pages were smeared with food. I was provided a clean one upon request. My intent here is to make sure that management creates a process that assures all customers receive clean menus. I have no hard feelings and will definitely return; that's how good it was. read more

The Viva Special Bowl with chicken, shrimp, and veggies was FANTASTIC!! I did not even need to pour the cheese sauce on top of it because it already had such great flavor. I had a super nice server too that helped me choose what to order. I will return again! Only negative is I'm old so the music playing is a little louder than I would prefer, but if I was young I doubt that would faze me at all. I'll return for the yummy food! It was just a short little walk from my hotel down on Main Street past the railroad tracks. The chips and sauce were delicious too! read more

If I could give it a zero Star I would the steak we received was gray, chewy, and under seasoned it was horrible. The rice was bland and dry. There was on waitstaff for the entire restaurant. My wife only took one bite of the gray mystery meat, informed the waitstaff that she couldn't eat it and didn't care for it and they still charged is full price. Maybe it's me but they could really need some help, it's pretty difficult to mess up a skirt steak and then to see it was gray mystery meat rather than a nicely seared on both sides skirt steak and still serve it is another level of incompetence and lack of care. read more

We ate here on a whim, but this was the best meal we had during our visit to Greenville! Everything we ordered tasted great. Our family had the carne asada plate, California burrito, 12pc coconut shrimp, and kids quesadilla plate. Portions were generous, so we had our fill plus a box of leftovers. The drinks were spot-on too, with the jamaica and sweet tea really shining. Service was professional, attentive, and friendly. We were part of a big 13-person party, and they set up the entire back dining area for us. To top it off, the prices were super reasonable. Ticked all the boxes, would happily return any time. read more

If I could put all the compliments in the world in this text box about Ulises I would. I have come back to this establishment just for Ulises' service. Super friendly, helpful, funny and efficient. Quality service, quality food and AMAZING deals on margaritas and tacos. Not to mention the 3p-8p happy hour. Ulises makes the best margaritas! thank you so so so much read more

Great food, clean environment and our server Ulises was very enjoyable to talk with and attentive.

I think this place is a hidden gem, easy to walk past on the busy street especially with businesses popping up left and right. The bartender was very friendly, offered us menu suggestions and made a couple of great (and huge!) margaritas. We got the birria tacos, a carnitas taco and the chicken, steak and shrimp fajitas. Everything was great and tasted fresh. The restaurant was a bit dark back by the bar but it was beautifully decorated and had a traditional Mexican feel. Will be back to try more menu items! read more

They make their margaritas from scratch here, so that definitely helps them stand out from the competition. The staff greeted you as if you were a guest in their home. Very nice! read more

I highly recommend the Birra Tacos, best I've had but that doesn't mean much I suppose. The 1st time I tried, the "au jus" was so greasy-nasty I could not use it at all-thrown away because it was a to-go order. VVMGs dipping sauce, au jus, was wonderfully tasty-just right for dipping-no slimy-greasy taste. The 3 deep fried(I think) delicious beef tacos made perfect dipping. The Coco Margarita could be addicting, it's so drooling good but you have to like sweet drinks. There's the chocolate rimmed glass with coconut stuck to it. My challenge, I figured was to get as much of the chocolate and coconut off the glass. I won! read more

Would not recommend this place in my honest opinion ordered carnitas with rice when recieved I saw what looked like peas (which I'm allergic too) but wasn't sure. they were not listed on the menu that the rice contained them so I thought I was good. I asked a women who worked here who was walking by to be sure she said no the rice doesn't have peas in it. so I started eating. I started feeling scratchy so I asked another waiter just to double check because of how I was feeling and he tells me yes the rice does have peas. I asked it I can get rice without and he said it all comes with peas. I mentioned to him what the other women told me that it doesnt have peas before I started eating and he froze. Asked if I wanted beans instead after I had already ate a good bit. No manager stopped by to apologize for the situation if Anything we were avoided until we had to wave someone down for the check. gladly I'm not deathly allergic and got by taking some Benadryl. please be careful if choosing this spot. read more

Food was delicious and served very quickly. The staff was very engaging and made me feel welcomed. I will definitely return on my next visit to Greenville. read more

Food is amazing. Service is amazing. Drinks are amazing. This is the most well-seasoned, flavorful Mexican food we have ever had. The entire staff is extremely friendly. They have cold beer on tap but they also hand make the cocktails. When we want Mexican food, we don't go anywhere else! read more

Sat at the bar and was helped by Casey. Great service and good food. I highly recommend.

Kacy was awesome. Did a great job. Service was good and very friendly. Was able to discuss tequila and make recommendations.

Since my initial review last year, we've been back to Viva Villa a few times and have been really pleased. The food, drinks and service have all been very good and we always look forward to returning. The service, in particular, has really been great the last couple times we've visited and is really noteworthy. Keep up the great work! read more

Great food and excellent service. Waitress was super nice. Food came out quickly, fresh and delicious.

Kasey did an awesome job! 10/10 would recommend. She should get a raise. Favorite dish here is the birria tacos/quesadilla.

Had to try this location downtown and we enjoyed it for lunch. I had the Carne asada lunch, which was a thin strip of nicely cooked beef with some spice. It had rice and beans and tortillas of your choice corn or flour. I think I should have had the burrito verde instead, I enjoyed that more and had Moore flavor. Rice and beans are authentic and delicious! My wife had the Pollo loco and loved the spice on the chicken. She had plenty and saved some to go! Very enjoyable and we plan to return again. Great decor and nice and clean. Great service too! Enjoy the free small dessert. read more

My go to Mexican restaurant. Have cycled thru most of their menu with favorites being Pollo Supremo, Carne Asada, and Birria Tacos. Best salsa in Greenville (last visit however was a bit different). Their horchata is very nice as well for those who need a non-alcoholic drink. During warm weather their outdoor patio is pleasant. read more
