Hit Taco King tonight! It's a taco truck/trailer that's always popping up with great reviews, so we…read moredecided to give it a shot. I went with my wife and, in true me fashion, ordered one of each of the tacos (except beef/pork combo). They're the small, street-style corn-tortilla tacos: fajita, pork, chicken and all fresh, all hot, all gone in record time. My wife had the steak fajita quesadilla, and we both cleared our plates embarrassingly fast. I also tried the beans, which were way better than a taco truck has any business making. The salsa verde was excellent -- tasty with a real kick. Friendly staff, fast service, great food and great price. Our whole meal was around $15, which feels like a crime for how good it was. This is definitely getting added to our regular rotation for street-taco nights.

Y'all. This place - I ordered it through Uber eats. And I tell you I thought I was going to have…read moreleftovers... THINK AGAIN! Everything was so delicious my 'Imma just try it' went straight out the window! I had a fajita torta, and for take out delivery, it handled the ride pretty well. It was packed well and STUFFED. I get picky about my food getting soggy or a little too wet (either from lettuce or tomato) but the bread still had bite to it and everything altogether was tasty. Then I ordered fajita tacos (had a huge craving for them all week). And they had onion, cilantro, and limes included to drizzle and it was so good. I didn't even remember to take a picture I just gobbled it all up. The food was DELICIOUS! And their bean soup was so good. I don't usually order bean soup because I enjoy my refried beans but I was beyond surprised that they were so tasty. I ate it all up and drank the broth too! Next time I have to visit the store front to see how customer service is but the food *chefs kiss*

I came across…read morethis restaurant today and was really hoping for it to be GREAT since it's 5 minutes from my house! First of all, the guy at the counter, does not show any appreciation that you chose this place to eat. He is simply there to take your order (no smile or thank you). I ordered beef nachos to go. When I opened the bag, there was runny sauce (white/yellow) all over the bottom of the bag and underneath my container. I have never had nachos so soggy and runny cheese. The only reason I'm even giving this 2 stars is because the meat was flavorful and could've been a great review. I'm sad for a waste of $ spent on very runny soggy chips/cheese. I will give this establishment one more chance before I remove it from my "go to" places. I really want to like this place and support the local business!

I called around 9:00 knowing they closed at 10 and explained we were still 55 minutes away -- and coming with a group of 20+ people. Without hesitation, they told us, "Absolutely, come on!" We all trickled in with over 40 players and parents ready to eat, drink, & celebrate. The staff welcomed us with smiles, stayed attentive & patient the entire night, & never missed a beat -- even as we stayed open for just our group two hours past closing. This is truly a stand-up establishment that goes above & beyond for our community. Amazing service & great food! We're so grateful for a place like this to celebrate big moments together!

"My Homework Turned Into Date Night (with Myself)" 02-14-26…read more I came here on Valentine's Day to do a writing assignment my professor gave us, and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the food all the same. When I walked in, the hostess offered to seat me in the private party area. I declined and told her, "I'm here for a writing assignment," and asked if I could sit somewhere with a clear view of the bar. She didn't hesitate. She told me to follow her and led me to a booth with a clean, perfect shot of the bar, front row without having to climb onto a stool. She handed me a menu and told me to enjoy my evening. The bar itself was shaped like an oblong oval ring with gold seats lined up like little lifeboats, almost like a ship's bridge. Above it, about ten flat screens hovered in an oval formation, suspended in the air. Upside-down margarita glasses and champagne flutes hung overhead like delicate chandeliers in an expensive mansion. The bar area was filled with couples and solo diners enjoying the screens, sipping margaritas and champagne, and crunching on complimentary chips and salsa. Customer service was fantastic. My server, Ale, was highly energetic, lively, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I felt very well taken care of during this dining experience, which was supposed to just be a writing assignment, but it turned into a rewarding little night out. The complimentary chips and salsa were also pretty good. The atmosphere was vibrating at a high-energy level. There was loud laughter and conversation all around, the sound of dishes clanging in the kitchen, servers moving back and forth, and bussers scanning the room for abandoned tables to clean. For my appetizer, I ordered the shrimp crab cake along with a Cucumber Melon Margarita on the rocks. Both were absolutely delicious. The crab cake was mouthwatering and delectable, and that margarita was refreshingly fruity and strong, so good I ordered a second one. For my entrée, I ordered the beef fajita plate for one with cilantro rice, charro beans, and corn tortillas. I also added a side of the La Viva Shrimp (bacon-wrapped). I don't eat pork often, so I peeled the bacon off, and even without it, the shrimp was exceptionally tantalizing, full of bold seafood flavor. My entire plate was the bee's knees. I can't even explain how good the food was. Food Ratings Shrimp Crab Cake: 5/5 La Viva Shrimp: 5/5 Beef Fajitas: 5/5 Cilantro Rice: 5/5 Charro Beans: 5/5 Overall, La Viva Cantina is an upbeat, lively spot serving delicious comida with great customer service and an inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend it for date night, or even a solo night at the bar. You won't be disappointed.

Our beers after happy hour were $9 each. The fajita for two special appeared to apply only for beef and chicken together. There was a $10 add on if you order all beef. The fajita meat is cut super thick to make you think you're getting a lot but it was maybe 4 tacos. Pappasitos has a fajita special on Wednesday and it's much better than this food. La Viva is over hyped and over priced. It's also super crowded.

First time visit to this small and excellent restaurant…read more Located at the corner of Fry Road and Mound Road it has a restaurant seating area of about 50 and a large bar area for 20 more. The menu is short but includes most of the classics. I had the Seafood Tacos and my wife had the Chicken Mole Enchilada. The tacos were surrounded by a flour tortilla (corn is also available) with fish that can be grilled or steamed. Packed with flavor from the onions, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and more I enjoyed every last bite. The plate included rice, beans, and sliced red onion. Delicious My wife loved her selection as well. The serving was big enough to take home what was not consumed allowing her an extra day to enjoy the mole. We also ordered a side of guacamole which was served as a huge rounded scoop on a plank. Don't get me started on the chips we used to eat every last bit of the guacamole. When we told our waiter, Jose, how much we liked the chips he gave us a bag to take home! I had some today and they were still crunchy with a hint of salt. Now to drinks: my wife had the house Pinot Grigio and I the house margarita which I ordered frozen with no salt. The margarita had a clear lime note but did not suffer from it. All in all we agreed that Carmelita's deserves a return visit next time Mexican food is our choice.
