The servers were excellent. The food was very good. If I had to find something to complain about it would be the parking!

Loved my first time here. Terrific food. Probably some of the best Latin food I have had in a while and I am picky. Great classic margarita with my request for a Repasado. Complex bold flavors from the coconut shrimp and octopus starters through the whole sea bass. No room for dessert. Next time for sure! Great service and hospitality.

This place was once excellent. Always packed, large food selection. Something happened because now we were the only customers - and the food selection was very limited. Although in the past we were visiting this restaurant frequently, probably this was our last time there.

La Viga is a reliably great place for a creative take on traditional Mexican food. Always delicious and the service is wonderful... pleasant and friendly staff.

I went with a group of five people, and all the dishes were excellent. Full of flavor, the seafood was cooked just right. The place is not fancy, but it's definitely worth a visit!!

The staff seem to be well coordinated, though one older wait staff seem to control the flow of the employees. I know it's hard for you to see it, but we see everything. A restaurant consist of three major components food, atmosphere and service. with my experience in three star Michelin all the way down to Taqueria quality of service is right above the level of a Taqueria. Young, spirited and smiling wait staff is always important enable for your customers to enjoy their experience. I hope you take this constructive criticism for what it is, it's not personal. It's strictly having to do with how we felt during our dining experience. Trying to control a staff while they are in the middle of an order or speaking to a guest is never a good idea. The restaurant is small and with a wait staff of three and a support of 2 to 3 more coordination should've been a little better. It took 20 minutes after we completed our meal for anyone to approach us and ask if we would want dessert, or the check. At the end of the meal this is when we need most of the attention. The food was excellent, especially the drinks. So again the level of the quality of food is one step above a Taqueria, not quite to fine dining level as of yet, you're not far from it, I really think that a little better training and coordination from the wait staff and management would make a huge difference. Thank you for taking My Suggestions into consideration. as a side note, we probably would not return based on our experience. I hope the constructive criticism will help you in the future.

Very good fish tacos and love the guacamole! Just wish they didn't sprinkle it with cheese. Great fresh tortilla chips!

We were looking for a seafood restaurant and this one came up. It is really a Mexican restaurant with several seafood options. I tried the coconut shrimp tapas. They were tasty, as was the sauce, but deeply fried and overly battered. I also tried the mini fish taco. Good, if small, but I expected that. The best option appeared to be the whole seabass, which one of those in our party tried and liked. My wife had the chicken enchilada, which in her opinion was just ok. The location of the restaurant is a bit sketchy and the parking is very difficult. Not sure we will go back, but if you know what you are getting, it fits the bill.

I've been coming to La Viga for years, and never had an experience that was short of fantastic. They've managed to keep the high bar for food, cocktails, service and ambiance while still being a sort of a hidden gem off the main part of RWC downtown.

Was there off peak time for a date. Servers were so pleasant and helpful. Totally enjoyed the food & will come back for more. Parking a bit dodgy if you don't get a spot in front, but that's the price of good food

Incredible food in this little restaurant. Everything is quality; the salsas, guacamole, entrees, tacos, drinks, etc. The homemade tortillas are so good. Recommend the enchiladas and beans.
