The service was inattentive and unwelcoming, making the whole experience feel more like a chore than a night out. The atmosphere, which should have been lively given the name, instead felt dull and neglected. Overall, Viva La Fiesta completely missed the mark -- I wouldn't recommend it when there are far better options like Friendship House just around the corner. I tried again and ordered takeout and the picture below is what they gave me.

The chips and salsa were not my favorite. The chips were a bit hard and the salsa was bland, not much flavor and no heat. Now the Pollo Feliz was a different story. This dish was fantastic and would go back just to eat it again. It had flavor and was a filling meal. I did order the Flan as well for dessert. I probably shouldn't have as I was only able to eat a few bites. However, the flan was also really good and apparently runs out as my waitresses had to check to make sure they had any.

I was so glad to see everyone together! It was a hot, humid day, but I was happy to be inside this nice, clean restaurant! Upon entering, I was able to get glasses of iced water, Sprite, and chips and salsa. These workers here were very nice, great customer service! For lunch, I had a $9.00 taco, 2 enchiladas, and rice plate. They brought more chips and salsa, too. I was glad that the salsa wasn't very spicy today as it was so hot outside. I used the salsa on my chicken taco, my 2 ground beef enchiladas, and on the awesome rice that they make! This great meal, with family, at a new place was the most perfect combination for a birthday celebration! I also appreciated clean men's restroom. I definitely would come back here when passing through and highly recommend!!!

When we pulled up and saw the cracked glass front door, we hesitated. Hard. It looked like the opening scene of a crime drama. But traffic had been hell, and our stomachs won. We pressed on--and we're glad we did. The Pollo Loco was downright delicious: a juicy, thinly smashed chicken breast grilled just right, blanketed in melty cheese and topped with slices of perfectly ripe avocado. I was licking my fork, trying to pretend I had table manners. The refried beans got my attention: "Wait... did they do something special to these?" I seriously considered ordering a pint to go. L devoured his Tacos Barbacoa Salazar and washed it down with a mango margarita, giving both an enthusiastic double thumbs-up. The service was friendly, chill, no-nonsense--just what you want when you've been in a car for hours on the verge of becoming feral. Would 100% stop again. Ignore the door. Trust your gut. This place is a hidden gem.

The food was excellent. My daughter and I each ordered large bowls of Menudo. It was delicious. Lots of tripe. More tripe than hominy, which is important to me, as some restaurants add lots of hominy to make it go farther. The broth was oh so good, not greasy or fatty tasting, with the right amount of spices. The bowls were good sized. My wife ordered the nachos, which she loved. Pretty big plate. She couldn't finish it all. Great taste. She's not a big meat eater, so asked for only half the meat on her nachos, and there was still a good portion of taco meat on there. I'll get my own nachos next time as how i've now seen how much you get on nachos. A meal in itself. Along with my menudo, I ordered a Carnitas Gordita. For those that don't know or have never tried one, it's sort of like a Mexican deep fried pita then stuffed with your choice of meat. It was soo good. The gordita wasn't greasy, plenty of carnitas, lettuce, white cheese...OMG, just go get one and try for yourself. They have other meats but I'm hooked on the carnitas! The staff was friendly, courteous, prompt with food. They have Mexican products for sale on the side of the place, ergo, the "Mercado" part. Will definitely be going back.
