Everybody does that. so I try to pay cash and another thing most importantly every time I've went there it's been great the food wise but this last time ... I had a club sandwich with fries and I was hurting and feeling so ill afterwards. I d​on't think it was anything like poisoning but I do think it was just so full of fat my body was rejecting it. Don't know what else it could be but oh I paid for it, health wise! Honestly I don't I'm not going there again

On my second visit, I decided to dine in at this establishment and I was pleasantly surprised!…read moreSomeone actually brings the food to you, and you don't bus your food. Now that's a first at a fast food place for me. Last time, I got the sandwich meal with coleslaw. This time I enjoyed the 2 piece chicken meal with yucca fries with Hibiscus iced tea for my drink. The Guatemalan style fried chicken is different, savory, with lots of spices, and a slightly peppery flavor. It does have a "zingy" taste!

Looooooved my visit to Vivir! I spent half a day here and honestly I could've stayed longer. The…read moreenergy of this space is just that good! First off, plenty of private on-site parking, which is always a win in the city. Inside, the space is stunning. Large windows line most of the walls, flooding the café with warm, natural light. There's an impressive variety of seating depending on your vibe--couches, high-top tables, standard tables, bar-style seating facing the gorgeous large windows, and even solo setups if you're craving true alone time. Thoughtful and inviting in every way. The service was equally lovely. Monroe, the barista who helped me, made a spectacular Iced Brown Sugar Honey Latte--so good I ordered a second after I finished my first one. He was happy to answer all of my questions about the bakery items, breakfast offerings, and the horchata lattes that caught my eye. I ultimately went with the Chicken Chilaquiles, and wow... that was absolutely the right move. The dish featured warm, juicy chunks of chicken breast over crispy fried tortilla chips, topped with fried eggs, sliced avocado, beets, cotija cheese, and tomatillo sauce. The sauce wasn't spicy, but had just enough gentle heat to balance the tanginess of the green tomato beautifully. I also appreciated that the chips weren't overly drenched, allowing each ingredient to shine. Crunchy, flavorful, satisfying, and filling--everything you want in a breakfast. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the apple empanada. It may have been a one-off, but mine didn't quite hit the mark. Flavor-wise, it was good and accurately described as a slice of fried apple pie. Where it fell short for me was the filling-to-dough ratio. The filling was very minimal and almost paste-like, likely due to being reheated rather than baked fresh that day. I would've loved a filling with chunks of apples or simply more filling overall. Overall, the morning/afternoon I spent here brought me so much joy. I loved that there was no time limit--I was able to get a ton of work done while sipping delicious coffee, enjoying a slow, satisfying breakfast, and soaking in the sunshine. Vivir is a space that truly works for so many occasions: solo time, catching up with friends, family visits, or settling in for a few hours. I'll happily be returning whenever I'm in NE Minneapolis.

Such a cute coffee shop/cafe. I love the decor and chill vibes. When I stopped by the cafe side was…read moretechnically closed but the staff on the Centro side told me I could look around & order cafe items via one of the table QR codes. On the door I seen they had caramel apple horchata as a seasonal drink so I got that. When you order you have the option to order from the cafe & Centro so we also got the shot of the moment. Both were good. For sure want to come back and try more of the drink options.

We seated ourselves and sat for about 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. We eventually had to ask for menus ourselves. The service from a younger female server with tattoos was honestly horrible and inattentive the entire visit. We ordered the teriyaki whole chicken wings and cheese curds. The wings were decent, but paying around $17 plus tax for only 6 wings is pretty steep. The cheese curds were average at best. The atmosphere is your typical dive bar vibe, which is fine, but the slow service and overpriced food made it hard to enjoy the experience. If you're looking for good wings and better service, take my word for it -- Serums in Anoka is 10x better.

We placed a pick-up order for food (it's a go-to since it's so close) but it took a while longer bc…read morethey were busy so we grabbed a ginger beer at the bar. Recommend: chicken tacos (sometimes they have fish, both are good), Casado with meat or veggie, which is vegan just be sure to specify. Yucca fries are a must, green sauce is my favorite. Neither the green or red sauce are vegan. Ambiance was lively and fun as we learned they have salsa night on Thursdays! Parking: it's in downtown Robbinsdale, so they have a shared parking lot and free street parking.

The space is big and spacious, with plenty of street parking plus their own parking lot in the back. We started with delicious cocktails like their margaritas and piña coladas, served in fancy glasses that made the experience extra fun. For dinner, the fried calamari was outstanding, and the mussels were incredibly fresh. That coconut broth oh so flavorful! I think it's used in several other dishes, and I highly recommend ordering it. The skirt steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. Overall, such a great meal and experience. I can't wait to go back again!

The space is open for large and small groups. There is a seating area that occasionally requires VIP-like seating during peak hours of nightlife. Ample space parking. There is usually security in front entry way during peak hours checking for safety and doing the routine check upon entry. Drinks are usually reasonably priced. Sometimes they charge entry at the door if you come during the hours late night vibes. Only minor complaint is that some of the staff do not speak English too well. So don't feel slighted if you ask for an extra fork or paper plates and it does not arrive in time, or at all. Just find an employee who speaks English and they will cordially help you meet your needs.

On a Friday night there was $10 cover. The music was a mix of Afro and classic 80's and 90's. There are some pretty decent food options.

Also I would like to see other people besides the African American community support this business. Also Free Parking!!!
