This restaurant converted me to a lover of Mexican food. There are both traditional and inventive dishes on the menu that are delicious. I might recommend the pollo con chorizo, but they also have combo options. The service is expedient and personable; my spouse and I look forward to visiting as much as the food.

Viva Zapata on Main Street in Coats is one of those places that just feels like home. I can remember going to their sister restaurants when I was a child, and now my own children get to enjoy it too. The food is always fresh and flavorful, the service is warm and welcoming, and it’s the kind of place you find yourself coming back to again and again. Some places may be trendy, but Viva Zapata will always be a classic. 🌮
