Just left there, no heat I personally think they shut it off since it was slow Just before we left the heat came on just we were leaving low and behold Probably since it was getting busier Not going back disappointing If it was truly off why they didn't go get heaters (really) Food wasn't much to write about either

Stopped in to the Grand Ave location today for lunch. First time here. Service was decent. I ordered the California Burrito. They normally do ground beef or chicken. I asked them for shredded beef and they honored my request. Food was delicious. Quick service. I will have to stop in again.

One of our top 3 Des Moines Mexican places. But lately it varies from generous to stingy portions with attentive to completely negligent service. Understaffing is an intermittent issue. So my tip varies too. Disappointed as of last
I am extremely disappointed with today’s experience at this restaurant. We arrived around 8:20 or 8:30. My family and I were seated right away at a booth that seemed to be dirty, with water spilled on the floor. I asked to be moved to a different table, and there was no issue, so we switched tables. Next, we ordered our beverages and then our food. We devoured the chips and salsa and even got a second basket of chips because of how long the food was taking. We waited around 30 minutes, and by this point, we were a little concerned because our server hadn’t checked on us or our food at all. We looked around, hoping to catch someone’s attention, but the servers seemed to be eating at a table near the bar, and no one noticed us. Finally, we grabbed our server’s attention and asked him how much longer the food would take. His response was, “Oh… right… let me go check, because they usually take longer to cook orders when they’ve started closing down the kitchen and doing the cleaning.” He came back and said, “They haven’t even started making the food yet… and I can’t tell them anything because they get upset if we say something.” I was speechless at what we were just told. Keep in mind, we arrived around 8 pm, and they close at 10:30. What really left us shocked, though, is that we have never been treated this way at a restaurant before. As we looked around, we noticed other tables around us were getting much better service. People who came in after us were served promptly, while we were left waiting, ignored, and treated poorly. first and last time I go to this place.

We had VIVA cater our wedding as we had our first date at VIVA in Urbandale. They were amazing to work with, EXTREMELY affordable, and were so thoughtful! They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect! We also love dining in the restaurant and have great food and excellent service every time!
The food was amazing! I can’t wait to go back to try other things in the menu.
