    First, I want to say how awesome this restaurant is! It is one of our favorites as they offer a separate vegan menu which is incredible. This is what made me reach out to them to see if they could help us with catering for our first big fundraiser last week. She gave me a great deal on a vegan taco bar for 50 people. The food was ready on time & I heard great reviews at our fundraiser. The only issue was that I had someone else pick up the food and the girl working the counter shorted us on our tortillas (didn't realize until we got to our fundraising location) so we had to run to the grocery store to buy more. It was a bit stressful, but luckily there was a store close by. Always check the order at the restaurant!

    Delicious for sure - this is a solid family stop for our family with three teenagers, so burritos get pretty much devoured! Service is super friendly and professional, and we've always left happy - a pick up order was five minutes later than advertised and we were offered a piece of flan, mmmm. I do have to say that the website is outstanding for ease of ordering and finding what you want - very nice! Only one major comment for me is that the food is so rich! It seems less traditional Mexican and a boosted with more oil and more flavor. Does that work for me? Sometimes yes, sometimes a bit too much. The mole is truly awesome but as a little snack, not as a full sized burrito. Carnitas, carne, chicken, and the rice and bean are great, and the gourmet burritos are definitely that!

    This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the US! you MUST come here. It mig. This is a very cute, little restaurant off the side of the road, it might look unassuming, but it is some of the BEST Mexican food you will eat. Parking There's a little parking lot right infront of the restaurant so parking is super easy! Ambiance The restaurant is so cute! It has tons of cool art on the walls. The restaurant has a very nice calm, causal and home-like vibe, which is so nice. Service The service is 10000/10 amazing! The owner is the sweetest most warm, genuine woman you will ever meet. She is so kind and generous and makes you feel so welcome as soon as you walk in the door! She is attentive and provides extremely fast service and even better conversation! You can tell she works hard and genuinely cares about serving amazing food and connecting with people. Her Mexican food is unbelievable, and she also cooks Persian food from time to time! The other staff are amazing as well, I have never had a bad experience here - everyone is extremely nice and friendly and you will get your food immediately because their service is super fast! Food The food is AMAZING. It is some of, if not the best Mexican food I've had in the US. I usually get the Carnitas Super and the Carnitas Tropical Burritos. The carnitas are PERFECT and the best I've ever tasted - it is so charred, salty, savory and just the best texture and flavor you will ever have. The refried beans and rice are soft and fluffy and savory. The white beans in the tropical burrito are soft, chewy and savory and add the best flavor combo with the chipotle apple salsa and corn. The Carnitas Tropical is a must try burrito - so unique and delicious! The chipotle apple salsa provides the most amazing sweet flavor that balances the salty carnitas so perfectly. They also serve complimentary salsa and chips with every order - the habanero salsa is spicy and SO good that I always order a pint of it to go. They offer the most unique Mexican food that I guarantee you have never tried and they have tons of Vegan and Vegetarian options that are equally as good! This is a staple restaurant for my vegan/vegetarian friends - I don't even usually like vegan food but I love their vegan food. Their desserts are also to DIE for...the flourless, vegan chocolate lava cake is insane. You must get this. It is so chocolaty and decadent and you can't tell it is vegan. The cheesecake, cakes and flans also look amazing, but I have yet to try. Overall This is a must try restaurant and one of my favorite of all time. The location, service, ambiance, and most of all the food, are all amazing and make the perfect experience. I will always love Viva Mexicana, and I'm sure you will too!

    The server was very kind, service was quick, and the vibe is very casual. However, here's the big deal: the chicken mole is AMAZING!
