Goddess of love

I usually have an amazing time here. Unfortunately, our service was disappointing this time. It appeared to be slower than usual. We didn't get everything we requested. No one came to check on us our entire meal. The staff just stayed in a corner chatting. Our drinks never receiveda refill. I'm wondering if the lack of customers is do to the recent lack of service. Either way I'm saddened at the downfall of customer service. I will go to the railroad location moving forward.

On The Go With Nic

Viva La Vida in Auburn delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an atmosphere that felt vibrant, clean, and full of energy. The décor is colorful and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed meal or a fun night out.

The food was the true highlight. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh and was prepared with obvious care. The flavors were bold, well-balanced, and authentically crafted — the kind of plates that make you pause after the first bite because they are that good. The portions were generous, the ingredients tasted high-quality, and everything arrived hot and beautifully plated.

The service was equally impressive. The staff checked in regularly, made thoughtful recommendations, and kept everything moving smoothly without ever feeling rushed. Drinks were refilled promptly, food came out quickly, and the team made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

From the atmosphere to the service to the unforgettable flavors, Viva La Vida truly earned all five stars. It is absolutely a must-visit in Auburn — the type of place you try once and immediately start planning your return. 🌼✹

would give 0 stars if i could. ordered one plate and decided to change my order because i saw the deals for $4 burrito and the original meal had not been brought out. waiter stated the food was already made but changed the order to beef burrito. i was brought out a chicken burrito with literally just cheese and red sauce. after waiting i did not feel getting my order changed to what i actually ordered and ate it. when it was time to pay i was inquiring of any type of discount since my order was wrong and i was given attitude and he stated “i already had to pay $20 for your nachos you wanted switched” which had nothing to do with me considering the plate was not even delivered to my table

Let me tell yall! Me and some coworkers came here after a long hard day of working. One our waiter, older Hispanic salt and pepper hair gave us our drinks and never came back to our table. We waved him down, waited and nothing. So after 37 minutes of patiently waiting I asked the manager for some assistance. He sent the bartender; Joel, who was extremely helpful, persistent & super nice. If it wasn’t for Joel we would have never planned to come back.
The food was delicious, it was hot spicy and plentiful. On Tuesdays they have pitcher’s for $14. It’s a great deal with 4 people you fill up 3-4 times. The drinks are strong so be mindful.

Absolutely loved this place!
If you're looking for incredible Mexican food, this spot is a must-visit. The atmosphere is vibrant & welcoming. The food is amazing—fresh & flavorful.

The staff is also top-notch—so friendly & attentive. Plus, they offer awesome daily specials & a great happy hour that makes it easy to try a variety of things without breaking the bank.

Highly recommend! We'll definitely be back soon.
