We got there late as we had been working on a friends farm. The staff, especially Abraham, was gracious to a fault. Our food came out fresh and hot, and they did not rush us to eat, even though they were closing down for the night. Even though they were stacking chairs in the other part of the restaurant, they asked us did we want dessert and served it to us! The food was great. My wife had a Jalisco something that has that light colored green sauce and it was really good. I had chimichangas and my friend had burritos. It was all wonderful and they did a great job. read more

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. read more

Was seated at the sticky table and left for about 20 minutes with no waitress. So slow. Sat here for almost an hour - chips and drinks ran out. Refills take 15 minutes or more. It took about an hour to get served read more

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.

Restaurant its self is nice but food was meh. Smallest portions of Mexican I've had. The steak was tasty but I was disappointed with the rest. Especially for the price. read more

Passing through and had the ribeye tacos. Best steak tacos I ever had! The ribeye was so good!

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. read more

If you are in Thomson, you have 3 choices for Mexican food. First one will make you sick, second one is right up the street with mediocre food and then for the best food-Viva Villa. When it comes to service though the results are just the opposite. It's not that the servers at Viva Villa don't work very very hard and despite their work load are always friendly. They simply never have enough staff. That's on you management! The second thing that irritates me is the lack of lunch menu on the weekends. Almost every other Mexican restaurant wherever you go, has a lunch menu even on the weekend. Same food but higher prices without the lunch menu. Viva Villa is the most expensive option on top of it. read more

Great food, steak was outstanding...from a Mexican restaurant no less. Service and ambiance are as expected.

This place was awesome! We had the chicken special, burritos, nachos, and chips and salsa. Our server Taylor was so incredibly sweet and always checking on us! Highly recommend! read more

Sissy, our waitress, was delightful. Great service and very pleasant. My daughter enjoyed the Agave Special (chicken on rice with grilled veggies covered in cheese sauce) and my husband had the taco salad with fresh sliced avocado. I enjoyed a beef taco that was crisp and fresh and the chicken soup which was loaded with rice, avocado and tomatoes. Very flavorful! The salsa was the best we've had! The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. We'll be back! read more

Stopped for lunch. Great food, great service. Good lunch serving sizes. Hubbie got a lunch combo with chicken soup. He really liked it. I had a fajita salad. read more

Fabulous rib eye tacos. Tacos were seasoned and cooked to perfection and so tender. Chips and house made salsa is very tasty and pairs well with the tacos. Service was on point. Small town restaurant with big authentic food. read more

Love this place, but there is no lunch menu on the weekends. I know, lunch pays you less but servings are less too. Not everyone wants a huge plate every time they eat out. ‍ read more

While working in Thomson GA I found this little place and OMG. This is by far the best Mexican restaurant I've found anywhere out of Mexico. Great friendly and fast service. Food well, phenomenal is an understatement. Had the arrachera and the steak was cooked to perfection. Tender tasty and juicy. The rice and beans were fantastic and pick and salsa fresh and homemade. The Ambiance sounded, smelled and felt like a typical cantina in Mexico. Clean too. Next time I'm back through here I will most definitely be back. F I could give 10 stars I would have. read more

Got takeout "Choose two combo" from Viva Villa while overnighting in nearby hotel. $10+tax for an enchilada and a guac salad. Came with rice and beans, as well as a bag of chips and 2 salsas -mild and hot. Was a perfect size meal and pretty good, not amazing, but pretty good. Would definitely get again next time we're staying here. All other nearby options are fast food chains. read more

very good high quality, fresh food. nice outdoor dining and very dog friendly. Friendly owners. we enjoyed it

We are from out of town and looking for something close to our hotel. Fortunately this was the place! Arrived about 830 and got seated promptly even though it was still pretty crowded. Decent decor with combo of booths and tables. Reasonably priced drinks that were good. I had the large margarita -good flavor and plenty to enjoy. I got a create your own combo with a taco and enchilada. The taco was good. I didn't care for the enchilada sauce, but I think it is just not to my taste as my husband liked it. I got the black beans as a side and they were delicious. My husband got the steak tacos and really liked that he could get the cilantro and onion instead of lettuce. The prices are reasonable and the wait staff was awesome. They were all working really hard but our waitress was super attentive and helpful. If I was a local, this would become a regular place to visit. read more

A local customer recommended Viva Villa as the best Mexican restaurant in Thomson. I had the soup - best ever! Large serving full of chicken & queso. Excellent salsa and beer too. Good prices. Got a quesadilla for later and it was delicious also. Can't wait for my next trip to Thomson! read more

So glad that we decided to try Viva Villa last weekend. Everything was absolutely delicious! Their chunky guac is served with thick chips and is quite possibly the best guacamole I've ever had. Their cheese dip and salsa are great appetizers, too. We shared a Strawberry Peach frozen margarita pitcher- serves approx 6 glasses....we closed down the restaurant, but would have gotten another pitcher if we weren't heading out so early in the a.m. The fajitas and shrimp tacos were great, as well. Our waitress said they make the tortilla shells there. Would love to revisit if we ever go back to GA. read more

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

We came to check out the food at this new restaurant. Chips and salsa are complimentary, so that is nice. We got the seafood soup and the garlic shrimp. The soup was tasty and had plenty of protein and vegetables, and the shrimp and rice had great portions as well. Service was nice - Kiki is the best! read more

First - this is our second time here in the last two months. We were traveling and stayed at near by hotel. The food again was wonderful! I got the chicken fajitas, but the refried beans were out of this world! I have lived in Texas and Mexico, but the flavor of these refried bean were the best I have EVER had! My husband got the chicken Relleno and he loved it! The chicken was stuffed with mushrooms and spinach and topped with cheese side of mash potatoes and streamed fresh mixed vegetables. Our server's name is Monica and she was just lovely. Friendly and professional. We will be back on our next trip through in early July. read more
