Come taste for yourself. Every item on the menu is great quality, and prices are quite awesome as well compared to other taquieras that are overpriced with not so great quality. All employees are super kind and nice and will go above and beyond on precision with your order on how you would like it cooked. My family and I appreciated that. Overall impression with the food, atmosphere, and service, it's bomb!!
Damn havnt been to Viva in years. Glad I'm back been there 5 times in the last 2 weeks. Nothing changed service is still great amd the food is fire..... get the super wet burrito red amd green sauce....
This is a hard review to write. Straight up, these people were super nice, super attentive. We got carry out and still were treated really well. Food arrival was a little slow, but we came in at the end of the lunch rush, so I get that.
I don't usually venture out, but our favorite taco truck is inexplicably and inexcusably absent this week. We were looking for something that would hit the spot, and hopefully for something we could hit up when this happens again.
While we waited for our food, the counter staff personally greeted everyone who walked in, and thanked everyone who walked out. I know a lot of places that put in a best effort in this area, and these folks really nailed it. Even while having a conversation with someone I assume was a close friend or relation, the counter lady broke her conversation with them to thank a group that was leaving. EXCELLENT SERVICE!
Given that, I really wanted to like the food. Honestly, I was prepared to forgive a lot for how kind the counter staff was. I got Pastor street tacos and the carne fries with Pastor. The tacos were not terrible. The pastor was on the sweet side, for me. My coworker said probably because they used actual pineapple, which is not super common. But even given the use of real ingredients, the meat was a LITTLE on the fatty side, and could have used some crisping to help develop the flavors. The salsas used on the tacos could have been spicier AND more flavorful. Probably a 2 or 3 out of 5 stars.
The carne fries with pastor were just not good. The pico de gallo used on them was watery and bland. The cheese was just not awesome. While salted fries could end up with a tendency to make the dish too salty, this offering just lacked flavor.
I could have caught these guys on a bad day...wiped out after the lunch rush. At time of writing, they have 4.4 * and I have to assume those are well-earned stars, but my experience with this food was not good, and I had to be honest. :(

Atmosphere is great, beans and rice are excellent but the asada in my enchiladas was not good. Flavor was lacking in the red sauce as well.

The most delicious authentic dishes! Very clean. Extremely friendly atmosphere. Fun karaoke every other Wednesday evenings. Love it here!
As someone who goes to the Sierra nevadas a lot I pass here often and I’ve tried most of the restaurants around
I have to say this is the best one so far
The lady who helped me was super nice and helpful with advice, and the wet burrito with fish was one of the best I’ve had
If you pass by this area you must try!

This is our go to spot. Where all our friends gather. The food is so good. My favorite is the Chicken Fajitas. We are there a couple of times a week ! Always there for karaoke every other Wednesday.
Great food. The owner is such a nice person. I like going there every other Wednesday for karaoke.
The ambience was great, I loved the original dining chairs and tables and the panoramic view of Yosemite Boulevard was a great because they had glass walls. They also had a fountain in the middle of the dining area and nice decor throughout.
The fried tilapia was amazing and seasoned well however my steak/al pastor burrito and steak tacos were below average. The steak was too dry for me and did not have much flavor. I even asked for half Al pastor and half steak to make sure I had some juices flowing in there but I’ll have to try again another time because it’s a beautiful dining area for sure.
