“This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the US! you MUST come here. It mig. This is a very cute, little restaurant off the side of the road, it might look unassuming, but it is some of the BEST Mexican food you will eat. Parking There's a little parking lot right infront of the restaurant. There aren't a lot of parking spaces but there's always at least one available! Ambiance The restaurant is so cute! It is small and has tons of cool art on the walls. The restaurant has a very nice calm and causal vibe, which is so so nice. Service The service is 10000/10 amazing! The owner is the sweetest most warm, genuine woman you will ever meet. She is so kind and generous and makes you feel so welcome as soon as you walk in the door! She is attentive and provides extremely fast service and even better conversation! You can tell she works hard and genuinely cares about serving amazing food and connecting with people. Her Mexican food is unbelievable, and she also cooks Persian food from time to time! The other staff are amazing as well, I have never had a bad experience here - everyone is extremely nice and friendly and you will get your food immediately because their service is super fast! Food The food is AMAZING. It is some of, if not the best Mexican food I've had in the US. I usually get the Carnitas Super and the Carnitas Tropical Burritos. The carnitas in the burrito are PERFECT and the best I've ever tasted - it is so charred, salty, savory and just the best texture and flavor you will ever have. The refried beans and rice are sooooo soft and fluffy and savory. The white beans in the tropical burrito are soft and chewy and add the best flavor combo with the chipotle apple salsa and corn. The Carnitas Tropical is a must try burrito! The chipotle apple salsa provides the most amazing sweet flavor that balances the salty carnitas so perfectly. They also serve complimentary salsa and chips with every order - the habanero salsa is spicy and SOOOO good that I always order a pint of it to go. They offer the most unique Mexican food that I guarantee you have never tried and they have tons of Vegan and Vegetarian options that are equally as good! Their desserts are also to DIE for...the flourless, vegan chocolate lava cake is insane. You must get this. It is so chocolaty and decadent and you can't tell it is vegan. The cheesecake, cakes and flans also look amazing, but I have yet to try. Overall This is a must try restaurant and one of my favorite of all time. The location, service, ambiance, and most of all the food, are all amazing and make the perfect experience. I will always love Viva Mexicana, and I'm sure you will too!“
“Our experience with Park Ave, and specifically the lead Anthony,was beyond amazing for our wedding. Anthony's dedication and easygoing attitude really stood out, making the whole process from planning to the big day incredibly smooth. The vegetarian pasta they had (Fall Penne) was amazing, and I say that as someone who loves a good steak. Anthony's quick and reassuring communication throughout the planning stages made everything stress-free. On the wedding day, the team's attention to detail and flawless service left us and our guests thoroughly impressed.“
“Sam is your guy to get the job done right. I was charged with getting lunch for a working group of 55 people and had to wait until the morning of the event to provide Sam with the final 30 or so orders. I had reached out to him well in advance, and gave him the initial half of the order several days before the day of the lunch. He was patient, kind, and made sure he had all the necessary details to get the order done right. When the working group finally gathered in person the morning of the lunch, I got an additional 30 orders to send to Sam. Not only did he finish the entire order less than 2 hours later, but he ended up individualizing everyone's order and made special effort for the Vegan and Vegetarian requests. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. Sam will make your big order a breeze for you, and work hard to get the order completed on time and in an orderly fashion. He's the best in the biz! - Jonathan E.“
“We hired this group to provide a dinner experience at a rental home in Healdsburg, CA. The team that we were assigned was on time, fun, entertaining, and the dinner was delicious. Not a single person in the group was let down. We had a gluten free person and a someone with a nut allergy. They made sure to accommodate these needs and still driver a stunning meal. We would hire them again in heartbeat.“
“Stopped here on way to airport. Food was delicious, portion sizes are generous. BLAST sandwich had amazing amount of bacon and avocado. Lots of healthy salad choices - honey mustard salad was great mix of healthy and wholesome. Iced tea was very refreshing. Service was fast and friendly.“
“This is by far my most favorite place in the North Bay. I was a Berkeley cafe kid growing up and have found nothing with the quality and selection like this little gem up North. The owner is super cool, the place is always dialed in and very clean, and the food is amazing. The hand-made treats and baked goodies are unparalleled. I love bringing people to this store and getting food. I will go out on a limb and say there's probably no competition outside of speciality shops in San Francisco. A must-visit for anyone in the area. Better food and deserts than anything in Forestville, Guerneville, Sebastopol or on the Coast.“

“The Pacific Connections team is absolutely amazing! We had a smaller wedding at Sbragia Family Vineyards. When the other vendors and day-of coordinator from Milestone found out we booked with Pacific Connections, they were thrilled. We quickly understood why. Rob provided invaluable insight into planning our wedding and knew the venue incredibly well (he even attended our walkthrough to help us think through the final layout). On the day of the event, Rob and his team worked with us to make sure that everything was exactly the way we wanted it. The servers were extremely professional and everything went perfectly. Their food is excellent and a far better value than other caterers we considered in the area. In short, our wedding was perfect and it would not have been the same without the Pacific Connections team. We highly recommend them!“
“These guys are amazing! My family and I are addicted to their pesto sauce. I have never found anything that comes close. We moved to Bend, OR a few years ago from Sonoma County, CA and the one thing I was really missing was their pesto sauce. I reached out to Pasta King, and although they do not ship their sauces, they did hook us up with their friend who just happened to be visiting them and was headed back to my neighborhood. They arranged to have a cooler full of pesto sauce brought back for me. I am eternally grateful and so happy to have their pesto sauce back in my freezer. They are amazing and went above and beyond me make a customer happy.“
