Viva La Vida Mexican Cuisine Opelika

I ordered loaded Nachos and extra cheese dip on the side. The cheese dip and the nachos were bland. I also ordered a margarita that had no sweetness to the taste. I was seated in a booth that had a plug in right above the table so that’s all I could taste or smell. Needless to say I won’t be back.

There was a bug in our drink. Felt super awkward letting the host know and they seemed to not understand how disgusting that was. They offered to make another one but why would I want another drink if theres bugs in the ice or cups or wherever it came from. We paid for what we had ate/drank before that point and wont eat/drink here again.

The food was good but our server was awful. She only came to get our order, drop our order off, and came when we thought we were done but we had been waiting for 20 plus minutes for a refill on our drinks and to order our dessert. The fastest she came was when she saw us put our money out to pay. At first I was thinking that she was busy or something but on our way out I saw her just sitting at the bar talking with coworkers. My mom said she was doing that the whole time we were there. It’s disappointing that the good food was ruined by the terrible service. Also, the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting and the amount of flies flying around were appalling.

Of the many many places in the area for Mexican food, this is by far our favorite. Almost every menu item is a good option. Try the quesabirria tacos!

This is not the first time I have had bad service but I always try to give businesses a couple of chance to get ot right. This will be my last time going. The service was not just horrible by the server but by the manager as well. NEVER AGAIN.

Me and a couple of friends decided that it would be a good idea to have tacos on this beautiful Tuesday, but Viva La Vida had other plans. We were deserted by our server and honestly felt as if spending money at this establishment was a nuisance to the staff. We never got out tacos and our service was well Belo sub par, we didn't get an apology or any well wishes as we left the restaurant....hungry! I have frequented this restaurant since they opened but wouldn't dare bring another red cent to a place where I am not served, not with a smile, not with an attitude, simply not served!!! Ridiculous!!! Btw we were there over 2 hrs.

We got there probably around 9:45 on a Saturday night. They close at 10:30, so it wasn’t like we were walking in 5 minutes before they closed. Service was terrible, it took at least 15 minutes for anyone to come get our drink order after we were seated. Food was okay, but all I ordered was a shredded chicken quesadilla so it’s a little hard to mess that up. I will probably give it another try, but I was a little disappointed.
