They didn’t answer their phone so I had to order online which did not load properly the first times I tried. Not only did they forget a quesadilla AND chips along with salsa, they were so rude when I came in to pick up my order.

Another fire restaurant I went to with my good pal Isa- I mean Lmdoj. I ate a burrito and it was so damn good He ate raw chips and he liked them Shouts to Mexico, this is why I don't get racists who hate Mexican immigrants. They're all cool & their food is fire. Who cares if they're "illegal" even? Slavery was legal so I don't think that's a good barometer for determining what's right in the world.

The food at viva is AMAZING! I love it! The service not so much I have to ask the waiter if I can order because he keeps running away. They gave us free soup which is very nice! But it tasted like tomato water and pasta.

I've been in Arizona for 30 years and just moved back. This is one of only two Mexican restaurants I've eaten at in the the whole state that were actually good. I order the same thing all the time, Burrito Verde and it's excellent every time I get it. Oh and the mixed berry Margarita was fire

Our table was in the middle and there were only 5 of us. We had to wait a while before being asked our drinks. I was in the process of drinking my 2nd margarita when an employee came to our table with checks in her hand and said there was a party of 12 waiting for a table and wanted us to leave, even though she hated asking us. I'm upset about it as we are paying customers too and not my fault they were busy and had given us a big table. It was not handled well and I will not go back.

This had to be the most disgusting California burrito I ever had, looked great on the plate, steak coming out of both ends, problem was, that was the only steak on the burrito, nothing but slop in 3/4 of the rest, 15 each, I bought 7 To go for my roofers that are Mexican and also thought it was disgusting, they steak did look good, although it was some dried out cubes, don't waste you money here, trust me, you will be disappointed
