Viva la Fiesta: Reviews & Ratings

The restaurant offers a clean environment with friendly staff. Complimentary chips and salsa are provided, and both are excellent--the chips arrive warm, and the salsa is outstanding. As someone not particularly familiar with Mexican cuisine, I was surprised by how cheesy the birria was. If you enjoy cheese, you'll be thrilled, but even as someone who doesn't typically consume much cheese, I still found them quite good.

A lovely little place in an unassuming shopping plaza. We stopped for dinner because we were using the nearby Tesla Supercharger and happened upon Viva La Fiesta. Charming decor, fast service, good food, and yummy margaritas.

My daughter and I had a great meal here. The atmosphere was very colorful and the booth was comfortable. We split a flight of margaritas which was very tasty. Our waitress was really nice and her recommendations were right on. We will definitely eat there again.

More than anything, I'm giving this place 5 stars because of their really cool interior and friendly service. Playful murals spanned the walks, and the furniture was just as colorful. But, the food was really good, too! I had fish tacos with rice, and the S.O. had a carne asada street taco. Chips and salsa were complimentary. I also had a margarita flight, which was also colorful, fun, and tasty. They tasted like pre-made mixes, but good mixes; I was able to choose from something like 10 flavors. I look forward to coming back with a group of friends!

I'm never disappointed when I dine here. Very good consistency in both quantity and quality of food. Servers are very nice too. Taco Tuesday is special!

Giving a five star in spite of the small child in the booth behind me. I ordered queso, a house margarita and Enchilada Supremas. The service was as great and influenced my second margarita purchase. Not the best decision but it was so good and I could get back to my hotel with limited driving on any roads. The queso was yummy and the enchiladas were filling. The chicken enchilada was a little cold but not enough to deter me from going again. Decor was cute, restaurant was clean and everyone was nice. A must stop near SIUE

We ordered Viva la Fiesta using Uber Eats and were surprised the quality held up. Ordering delivery you're always accepting a risk and we'd never been to this restaurant in person either but it worked out. Great variety on the menu and our meals were packed with flavor. Solid cheese dip but the regular salsa actually was incredible on its own. Will have to check out in person next time to get the full experience.

Great atmosphere in here! Lots of color, good music, and smiling and friendly faces. The salsa could have used a bit more flavor and the food I had (street tacos) was good, just lacking that little extra to truly make it pop. The burritos that the others ordered were massive, so I probably just ordered the wrong thing! At any rate, they accommodated our large group very well and our food was served in rapid fashion. Would certainly come back here.
