    The entrance, love the bull
    Carroll V.

    Love the small town Mexican restaurants that know their customers and give great value in service--friendly and efficient--and full of flavor dishes. Comfy interior with tons of room for busy days. My group of four all tried different dishes--and were completely satisfied: chicken fajitas, chicken nachos, enchiladas. I typically try any new place with huevos chorizo. They were good but different, cooked almost like an omelette. Rice and beans were standard but you can get black beans. Yes! Chips came with solid salsa, better than most. Servings are generous and the prices were very reasonable. No wonder it is a busy place.

    Sissy was awesome! Reviews weren't kidding...the ribeye was wildly good. Must have. Had the pastor taco it was good to say I had it but I'd get the ribeye every time. Unreal.

    Ribeye steak plates with peppers, onions and shrimp. Beans and rice on the side of course.

    Wow, I was in this area for a week long work trip and went to Viva Villa every day and every day I got a ribeye steak. Honestly the steaks here were better and cheaper than the ones from the fancier steak restaurant down the street and may have been one of the shockingly best steaks I've had from a restaurant. The steak options were all around $18 and were marinated and grilled perfectly! The servers were very nice and the food came out very fast, and the salsa was amazing too.

    I haven't had a bad dish yet and we eat here often. My favorite is the ribeye tacos or any of the ribeye dishes they offer.

    I am primarily a lunchtime patron. The service is always perfect and the food is the best I've had north of Monterey Mexico.

    Really and truthfully one of the best experiences dining I've had. My family has gone there for…read moreyears. Don't know where everybody went or what they got going on across the street but whatever it is....maybe it's how the rice gets done with a scoop and looks more organized on your plate...whatever it is y'all go ahead. Habaneros, go in there and ill 5 * guarantee it. The people are genuine. I can go in, sit down, place my order, they don't care about how you dress and are always respectful. Seriously I bet you if you went in with no pants on and lit a firecracker...soon as you're done actin foolish they'd still hand you a menu. Some of these dudes have been there like a decade +. Theres no one else in town with that dedication. All those years handling the drunken yells and fielding phone calls from the entire population of Thomson on a weekend 2 minutes before closing time. My God! Bless them! Then.....Singing happy birthday 18 times a week. No matter, no complaints. don't care about your drama or who voted Obama. You come with nonsense fine, but I guarantee you if you walk in there before you can ask they will have you seated. I never once had a bad time. Before you realize you need a refill bam! Refill. Then let's say they got your order wrong when you called in. No problem, Bam! Then they even apologize for your mistake. Consistently awesome. Never called once where they didn't answer the phone. Maybe one other business in town has done that and I promise you, promise you they have the ears of a veteran service dog. You can have wrestling on, kids fighting over who gets the tablet next, a freakin band concert. You say your order one time....one time..... no matter what they got you. And if and I mean if they make you repeat it, they just do it because they know instinctively what you said wasn't you meant. That's just them allowing you to fix what you said. Anyways, awesome drinks. Great owners, tremendous wait staff, and the foods pretty good too. So yeh, that's a 10. Keep it up guys, y'all are a much needed restaurant in this town

Nothing fancy, but I have always maintained that the best Mexican food comes from these humble mom-and-pop type establishments.

    This was actually our first time dining here and we absolutely loved the experience. I ordered out…read moreonce a while ago, but today was a totally different experience. My daughter stated she gives them a 20 out of 10. When we arrived they weren't busy but the crowd started shortly after. The establishment was very clean and chill. Our server was so sweet and the food was amazing! We ordered a large cheese dip for the table. My son and I are fans of empanadas and wr orders chicken and beef. I would have preferred cheese in mine and a little more seasoning in the beef. But, no worries, I added the cheese dip on top. My son and I also had the Burrito Grande with chicken; soooo good. My daughter had the Pizza Birria and it was delicious. She stated it was the best she's had and trust me she's had her share. My husband had the quesadilla el patron. For drinks, I started off with the Pineapple Aguas Frescas but traded it for the Mango one. The mango was better. My son had the fruit punch Jarrito, my daughter had the mango as well, and my husband had the Horcheta. Needless to say, we will return. This is probably our favorite now!

    This is the place to go for some guaranteed good Mexican food. I came here specifically for the…read moresopes which were excellent. I love their abundant meat options, which are basically any meat and style you can think of. Their elote/esquite was ok and i think probably very authentic, but i prefer the (undoubtedly less authentic) version where it's just a little bit of corn in a huge cup of mayo. The service is amazing. They are so nice, and when our little one was having a rough time the waitress came over and tried playing with him and helping out. Every time a server would pass by they'd stop and smile at him and you could tell he was the most popular guy in the shop. The -1 star is just for the ambiance, which is fine but nothing spectacular. It can get quite loud, and the fluorescent lights are very bright and a little off putting. It's a fine place to get great Mexican food, it's just not the most pleasant place to eat.
