We have so many choices for Mexican food in Greenville. Today we decided to try Viva Villa in Mauldin. Now let's be clear- we are Las Meras Tortas fans to be sure but man- let's talk about the tacos at this place- to die for. We had the Asada, Pastor, and Carnitas tacos. The meat was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of fresh onions and cilantro. The presentation was nice as well with a roasted jalapeño and onion. The service was fast and efficient. The chips were nice and hot and the salsa was mild but super flavorful.

The tacos were good and not stingy with the fillings. My hub loves the California burrito which is like a big fajita wrapped up with all the toppings. The chips are fresh and service was very friendly. We first sat in a booth that had a broken seat so maybe the interior could use some sprucing up, but there's a large deck with lots of tables for when it's nice outside.

Beef enchiladas, queso,

We just moved to the area and wanted to find good Mexican food close by. We had an amazing experience and cannot wait to be back. We ordered queso, chips, beef enchiladas, the Villa Special and skinny margaritas. Everything was great!

Super Coconut Shrimp served fast, hot and delicious! Outstanding Service with a Smile. Cozy restaurant with excellent food and WiFi. Great ambiance!

The menus both food and drinks  have a variety of items. I'm having a Dos Equis Ambar.

We split one bag, Combo D: a lobster tail, half a pound of snow crab, half a pound of shrimp, half…read morea pound of green mussels, all in the Du Jour sauce, meaning every sauce they have thrown together at once. Mild heat, because we are exactly the white people that setting implies. Mrs. W. grew up at the beach and cracked, peeled, and de-shelled everything with the calm efficiency of someone who has done this her entire life, occasionally sliding a fully cleaned piece of crab onto my plate without a word, the way you'd hand a tool to someone who clearly doesn't know how to use it. I finished half the bag and felt inflated like a puffer fish, a seafood relative that, unlike anything in our bag, can actually kill you if prepared wrong. Worth it.

This was a takeout order, so my review is only based off of that…read more My order came out at a reasonable time after placing the order over the phone. When I picked up my order the waitress was very nice and she had my order ready when I walked in. The food itself was great! I'm not sure what my order was, due to having my sister (who frequently dines in here) order me her favorites. The food was well flavored, good quality ingredients, and very hot when picked up! Side Note: the crawfish was huge and I very much enjoyed that as I usually don't order crawfish because of its small size, not sure if the crawfish are normally that size but I loved it. Overall, I would definitely come back to this spot!!

Located in the Hartness community on Hwy 14, the restaurant exudes a welcoming atmosphere. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the hostess and quickly seated. Our server, Kelsey, delivered exceptional service--both prompt and professional. The One 5 has a cozy yet upscale vibe, with modern decor that creates a relaxed environment. Guests can choose to dine indoors or enjoy the outdoor patio, and there's also seating at the bar. The menu is impressively diverse, offering options to satisfy every palate. We started with the Shrimp Appetizer, followed by the Brussels Sprout Salad, and for our main courses, we tried the Crab Cakes and Red Drum. Every dish was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The service was consistently efficient, making for a delightful dining experience. I can't wait to return to The One 5 soon!

I was there for dinner on the evening of 10/23/26. This is the review I left on Google. There was a…read moreresponse from the owner on Google and I did send an email to address listed on their website. I never got an acknowledgement to that email. My experience was bad enough that I'm adding a review here and may do so on FB also. Normally I would've left it at the Google review, but this is a higher end place and the way I was treated really bothers me. My friends have also encouraged me to leave reviews on other platforms. So here it is: I was there with a group of friends. I was really looking forward to the evening. My friends were great, the food was not. I don't often treat myself, but this evening I decided to treat myself and have the ribeye. Big mistake. First, it came out so long after everyone else's, that if they'd waited to eat, their food would've been cold. I ordered it medium rare, when it finally came out it was very rare, but since I was hungry and didn't want to wait longer, I ate it. That was my second mistake. Not only was it under cooked it was a horrible peace of meat. It was tough and full of gristle. For what it cost it shouldn't have been that bad. I should've sent it back. I didn't and that's on me. I will say, the server was great, but that's the only part of the experience that was good, other than the dessert she brought me. The discount they gave was a joke and the dessert did not make up for the entree being so bad. For a fine dining place, you should be embarrassed. If it weren't for the friends I was with, this would've been a very bad evening. I would've had a better meal at a fast food place. I will never eat there again, they had a chance to show they cared, and didn't. I appreciate your reaching out. I'm happy to answer your questions, but I'd rather not do that here. I sent an email to the email address listed on your website. Update: I did send an email to the listed address on their website the same evening this happened. It's been about 24 hours, no acknowledgement that it was received. So either they haven't checked it or don't care. So I'll answer some of the owners questions here. I won't name the server, but she was great. No one from management talked to me and they gave a small discount of $12.00. I'm sorry, but for the issue I had and the lack of management following up at the time, it's insulting. If they want to follow-up with me, I sent an email, so they can respond there. This is the last I'll say of it here other than the dinner I had tonight, was far better and a lot cheaper.

IIIII like good food and I cannot lie…read more.... I will preface this all by saying I have been coming to Greenville for almost 15 years for work. maybe only once a year but still... I love the city and the people. Fall for Greenville is fantastic!! Onto my review -- I was visiting Greenville for work this past week and was staying at the Aloft. I did a quick online search for a new food / dining destination when i saw ABYSS... Since it is right beside my hotel I decide to give it a go! Wow, what a treat. I sat at the bar. Bartender was top shelf Ali i think... She made me a paper plane without having to look it up . The happy hour menu was a pretty amazing value so i tried a couple of pieces from it. Bluefin "nachos" ie wontons.... Great!! Scallops and bacon sliders.. great!! Then I decided to also add the Wagyu - crispy rice. Also great!! But you know what else really sets this place apart? The Fries! Crazy but here's my take. Everyone is doing fancy pretentious, parm, truffle garlic blah blah blah.... These fries had a unique slender (thin but wide) cut, seasoned lightly. and cooked to perfection. you can tell they take it all very seriously here. from the Chefs all the way to the greeters. It's like they all took Yes chef training at "The Bear" IYKYK...Fantastic attentive service. Highly recommend and look forward to visiting again!

I don't know where to start. Love this place! Love the atmosphere. Love the servers…read more Absolutely, love the food!!!. Restaurant is attached to the Aloft in downtown Greenville. I got the raw oysters (3/$9) during happy hour where everything was 50%. Also got the bang, bang shrimp, burger and fried chix sandwich. All of the food was HOT, as it should be, and PERFECT. CANT MISS SPOT FOR HAPPY HOUR. LOVE IT!!!

When asked what were the dishes most appreciated by customers he said the scallops and the short ribs. We both laughed that our last meal at a nice place was scoops served with short ribs... We went for the halibut, and were not disappointed. The fish was nicely seared and creatively served with peach chutney, broccoli salad with shaved almond, golden raisins, radish... (I cheated and copied that from the website.). It was a very well executed dish. My wife brought back a considerable portion for our small dog to enjoy. We had a wedge salad that was as good as any I have had. Nice touch. Desert was a single Sticky Toffee Pudding covered with Vanilla Bean ice cream. The pudding had no chocolate, yet it convinced both of us that it did have rich chocolate. It's a date based dessert. We enjoyed speaking with two of the owners Chris and his wife Dakota. Both were very engaging people. Chris was seen frequently checking on guests, organizing things, etc. They stopped by and spoke at length more than once. The place is busy and noisy, do be aware. If you were planning a business meeting this would be a good place to go AFTER the discussions are over. It's a must go place in Greenville. Try. it.
