The food was great and so was the staff this is one of my favorite Mexican places and every time I visit my family friends it's always a must visit

The wrapped burrito was excellent. It was hot and well filled. Service was good. It was a great day to sit outside too.

I absolutely love Viva! I always have a great experience and it's one of my top choices when going out to eat in ithaca. The food is fresh and as close to authentic as you can get without being authentic. The servers are generally inviting, friendly, and check in often. The ambiance gives you the feel of a Hispanic restaurant with culture surrounding you. One of my top favorites. And their new spot is proving to be better than the original place they were at across the street.

Great margheritas. I've been coming here for 12 years and I still like their food when I have that Mexican food craving. Grew up in California but this is still my "go to" for Mexican food. Consistently good and fulfills my craving every time! Also like the atmosphere both old and new. Good service and if you have to wait there's always chips and margaritas to please your palate. They have a large bar for drinks while you wait for your table. Definitely recommend!

Food was great! Highly recommend the quesadillas! Service was excellent and we were seated quickly. Has a great vibe and overall atmosphere for a Mexican style restaurant.

Food is always delicious and service is good. We did take out once. It was also fantastic bit we missed the good drinks. lol

Definitely check out Viva Taqueria if you're ever in the south of the border mood, or need your spirits lifted. The three of us had a really wonderful meal. Tacos were great, margaritas were delicious and the deserts were killer. Definitely ask the hostess to seat you in Madegan's section, if possible. She's magical, and made sure we had everything we wanted, exactly as we ordered. She also checked on us regularly, and moves a gracefully as a ballerina. Definitely worth the money! Rick

Long wait and the hostess seemed annoyed at us asking for updates. They also don't take down phone numbers. Once we were seated food came out very fast and drinks were strong. I got the vegan nachos with tofu which were filling- no vegan cheese though so don't except actual "nachos". Friend also found a hair in her burrito.
