We had our rehearsal dinner at VivaZ and it was SUCH a wonderful hit -- not only are the food and drinks unparalleled, but Bernadino and his team were so wonderful to work with, and made the experience so wonderful

Overall pretty good. They seem to have recently changed the menu and prices so a lot of the menu posts on previous reviews don’t have the right info now. The staff were all really sweet and attentive and the drinks were good.

I have been 3 times and they have overcharged me 3/3 times. Check your receipt carefully!! And you have to advocate to actually get the happy hour prices listed on the sign on the street
Vivas, please update your menu if prices have changed…

Visited on a Sunday evening. I was sat immediately. The service was so quick. The chips and guacamole were delicious. I also had Al pastor, carnitas and the Americano tacos. They were all fantastic. I look forward to visiting again!

Had a great dinner with my Son last night. Beef and chicken burritos were great, very authentic ingredients. Service was outstanding. Arriving close to opening was a plus, as this establishment does get busy. Highly recommend this cozy, relaxed restaurant.
B for effort. Would have preferred to sit outside for the nice breeze and scenery. However, my waitress/ also bartender ushered me straight to the bar (it was a slow evening). Aside from the staff speaking Spanish and some homemade sauces, my palate wasn't thrilled. Portions are moderate. Canned salsa s and beans just didn't hit the spot. Drinks were served in plastic cups. I felt like I was back in college , a time when no one knew how to cook and drinks were watered down Kool-aid.

Used to go here. Now it just got way too overpriced. I’m not paying 50 dollars for two apps.

Food was adequate overall. Chips are seemingly made in-house and are excellent. The mole (an important standard by which I judge every Mexican restaurant) was ok - but just. Portions were reasonable if closer to small than large.
The service was also adequate but not out-of-the-ordinary. It certainly was NOT worth the 20% gratuity added to my check automatically. I did check and in the very fine print (much smaller than the rest of the menu) on the very bottom margin it does disclose that they “reserve the right to add a 20% gratuity to any check.”
I understand this policy for large parties. I might even understand it for kids in a college town. I’m in my 50’s and was dining with my wife (in her 40’s) and my three adult children (in their 30’s.). There were only five of us in total. Apparently (reading other reviews) they routinely add this otherwise undisclosed gratuity to EVERY check. Totally inappropriate.

Had to change my rating from 2 years ago from 5 stars to 2. The food quality sadly went down but the prices went up. The tacos are not as good as they used to be and vegetarian quesadilla is outright bad, not to say anything about them charging extra 6-7 dollars for additional protein in it. The protein being a few chunks of uncooked tasteless bell pepper. So sad to see this gem of a place become subpar. Oh and 20% is included in the bill.
