We came in for drinks. Vanessa did an amazing job explaining the drink choices. Her drinks were 10/10. Definitely worth visiting Vanessa at the bar.
Love this place for the food, service and the drinks. They are open for weekend Brunch starting at noon Saturday and Sunday - offering huevos rancheros which I'll be trying today. Empty plate says it all. (Wallington)
I’m rarely in the area but today after having work done on my car, I looked to my left and spotted Viva Margarita. Since it was lunch time and I was a tad bit hungry, I decided to check it out. Let me just say, I’m so happy with my decision. I was immediately acknowledged upon entering. I ordered a Shrimp Burrito to go. Honestly this was one of the best Burritos I’ve had in a long time. The bread was so soft and fresh; as a matter of fact, everything tasted really fresh. This was my first time hear, but I can assure you it won’t be my last. Although Viva Margarita isn’t near any place that I frequent, I will go out of my way in the future to explore other menu items.

Our go-to mexican spot. Consistently good food and drinks and usually no wait. Music can be a bit loud, but they usually turn it down when we ask. The pollo fundido is always good.
Great food great drinks great time on sissy date. Thanks Ismael for your outstanding service. So attentive no matter how busy he is. We will always stop by because we are guaranteed outstanding service, food and drinks.
Found this place on Instagram through DevourPower and made a special trip 1.5 hours drive. Everything I had was delicious. The Quesabirria was everything the video promised. I ordered a 2nd to take home! I didn't get to try the cocktails because I had to drive home, but they sounded great.
