Viva Chicken is one of my favorite spots, but since the locations are not near where I live I do not get there as often as I would like. Met some friends for dinner and decided to try the tacu bowl. My friends had not sampled the quinoa stuffed avocado so I ordered a half one for us to share. James took our orders and truly gave us all exceptional service. He suggested items and answered our questions. He was so friendly and welcoming. The tacu bowl was huge and full of fresh ingredients. Will definitely return. read more

The good- the restaurant was clean and all employees were working hard. The struggle- I placed an order over the phone and was told the order would be ready when I got there. I arrived 10 minutes later and didn't expect it to be ready that quick but, sadly it took 40 minutes to get my order. It was sitting on the shelf for a bit before my name was called by someone who seemed to be a manager of sorts. No apology for not calling out my name when it was ready, no sorry it took so long. Apologies go a long way and can change a customers experience. The sweet potato fries were burnt. The quinoa avocado salad was ok, not the best I've had from them. read more

Parking lot can get tight when crowded but plenty of parking in Lowe's parking lot. Wear coat during colder months because it stays chilly due to door opening and closing constantly. Myself and other patrons could not enjoy our meal peacefully due to several flying gnats! Service was friendly and food was hot in temperature. Steak was a little salty on this visit. Over $3 for fountain drink or tea. read more

Really enjoyed this meal. Service is great and very quick as my wait was literally 5 minutes!. The mini churros were delightful covered with brown sugar cinnamon and caramel inside!. Their menu is expanding and includes large portions of items like their homemade chicken soup, tres leches (sponge cake soaked in 3 milks) and something called an Inca Burrito and Steak Saltado (sirloin steak with onions, tomato, cilantro topped with a brown sauce over Jasmine rice). Definitely on my list to try next visit. Ambiance is upbeat and very friendly. Looking forward to another visit and the chance to try one of the newer menu items! read more

Quick service and delicious, healthy meal. This location is right passed the mall so very convenient. There is plenty of seating even some in a covered outside area. The music is a little loud to me but you get use to it. I love the three sauces that seem to pair well with any of the dishes. Good spot to come alone or with a groupm read more

Stopped at Vive Chicken on a whim while passing through Concord and I'm so glad I did! I ordered online and by the time I got there, my food was hot and ready. The staff was welcoming and the service was quick and friendly, which always makes the experience even better. Now let's talk about the food, WOW. The chicken was perfectly juicy and seasoned with a bold, unique flavor that immediately brought me back to the Peruvian chicken I grew up eating at a hometown spot in Arlington, VA. It's rare to find that kind of flavor outside the DMV area, but Vive absolutely nailed it. I also tried the green beans, they were done in a soy ginger style, which isn't what I expected but ended up being a delicious, refreshing twist. The flavors worked so well together and really elevated the whole plate. Honestly, I wish this place was closer to home in Georgia. It would be a go to dinner spot for sure! Fresh, flavorful chicken that hits the spot any day of the week. If you're anywhere near Concord, do yourself a favor and stop here. You won't regret it. Ohhhh, portions are plentiful! read more

Fresh, flavorful, and filling! This was my first time trying Viva Chicken, and I was pleasantly surprised--I really liked it! I ordered the half rotisserie chicken with two sides, choosing the Peruvian fried rice and their signature drink, the Maracuya (Passion Fruit). The drink was super refreshing, and the fried rice was packed with flavor. The chicken was juicy and cooked just right, though the tenderness can vary slightly depending on which part you get. And here's a tip: dip your chicken in the Aji Amarillo (yellow sauce)--it takes the flavor to the next level! The portion size for the price is more than fair, and it definitely left me full and satisfied. I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu. read more

The food was overall tasty, however, I did request for my wrap to be toasted, and unfortunately, the fries were overcooked and cold. I had to throw the fries away because they were not good. I was still able to eat the wrap. It just was not toasted as I would've preferred. read more

Horrible customer service. Thank you goes a long way. Also, if email notification stating that the customer has arrived for curbside pick up does not work, please remove it as an option. read more

Love the food here! The chicken and sauces are delicious. I usually get the chicken and 2 sides, but in my most recent visit I tried the sandwich and it was so good. My favorite are the plantains a side. They have so many sides that it's hard to choose from. read more

Delicious, fresh, healthy! Staff is friendly and helpful. Order was ready in a couple minutes. Peruvian corn kernels are big. Rotisserie chicken is the best: not salty, all natural, hormone free, savory spices, no fat. Fries were a little salty, but everything else seemed to be low salt. Chicken rice soup is excellent. They were out of the Chica Morada (purple corn drink), so I had the MaraCuya (passion fruit) and that was very refreshing. This was my first visit and I enjoyed so much at lunch that I came back later in the day to eat it for dinner. Highly Recommended. read more

Walked in 30 minutes until close because another shop down from them ran out of the food we drove to order. It is about 20 minutes out of the way for us. It was very clean on the inside. I thought to myself, "I bet they all want to go home and would have rather us not walk in." When I started to order the girl at the cash register was very patient with us. I ordered a 1/4 white chicken plate, with rice, and plantains. Helen made sure to ask me again if I wanted dark or white chicken and fried or cilantro rice. I was thrilled she asked because I love the cilantro rice the most. It was just my daughter and I out late and I forgot to mention it. My child ordered 1/4 chicken and green beans. I told her this is the quickest that I've ever ordered here and thanked her. Food came out hot. Everything was tasted great! We were so hungry because it was so late and it was such nice service. We will definitely come here again! read more

So far this location in Concord has been my favorite. The food is done right, very flavorful, I like the Steak Saltado, Stuffed Avocado, Stuffed Churros and of course the rotisserie chicken! Food is usually out pretty quick and the restaurant clean. I also have great experiences with the staff being very friendly. read more

My new go to spot. Rotisserie chicken sandwich but as a wrap - an awesome lunch or dinner. Large portion, always save half for the next day! Love the fried rice side too. read more

Honestly was not pleased with this place. Have always wanted to try it out, and I'll probably never go back. I ordered the Tuca bowl and added chicken.. for almost $5 extra they barely crumbled chicken on my bowl. No flavor and way too many onions My husband ordered the Viva Steak bowl that was on special and wow.. SUPER salty. I think they dumped the whole bottle of soy sauce in it. Rice and all was drenched in sauce. (Soupy) Could barely finish it. It was so hot inside I almost broke a sweat trying to eat my food. Not sure how the order of food went, but I felt we kept getting skipped. And for us to have to take our own trash from the table.. I didn't think tipping was necessary. Service wasn't very attentive. For it being our first time, they looked rushed. read more

Great delicious food and good service! Can get pretty crowded but worth the wait for some yummy food.

I kept passing by this restaurant until today. Arrived around the noon hour and there was no line. You order at the front counter by reading the board above or looking at the list on the counter and they provide a table number to locate you in the restaurant. The chicken sandwich on bread with fries was my order along with a limeade drink. A staffer brings your food on a square small baking sheet within a few minutes. The sandwich was broasted chicken meat hand-pulled. The only issue is that I got pieces of cartilage in my sandwich which lowered my ranking down a notch. The tables and chairs are clean and they provide real silverware unless it's a takeaway order. The food was tasty, even the fries. I would probably return again but would most likely order 'all white' meat to prevent the accidental cartilage pieces being included in the sandwich. read more

Messed up my order. I couldn't go back to get it fix even after i reiterated what my order was.

My younger brother has been raving about this place for a few years, so I finally decided to give them a try. He was right it's really good. The rotisserie style chicken was juicy. The French fries and green beans were both great; the portions were filling as well. The house made sauces were nice pops of added flavor. I had the aji amarillo (mild yellow) and huacatay (medium green). Everything tasted homemade even though it's fast food. Next visit, I'm looking forward to trying The Great Sandwich and Sopa De Pollo. read more

The food here was very delicious! Being a big fan of Peruvian food, I knew I had to try this quick service location. We enjoyed the variety of chicken options, and even very healthy options with phenomenal substitutes. Though, I will say the options are limited to mostly chicken so if you are expecting options like lomo saltado, then somewhere else would be better. The restaurant was kept clean and it was a nice environment, but the men's bathroom was going under renovations. There was a lone screwdriver sitting there so be careful with leaving kids on their own. read more

The food was good. We had the quarter chicken, all white meat. The corn salad, fried rice, and sopa verde. The wait was about 30 mins for our food. The chairs were metal chairs and uncomfortable. I'll only order takeout from there again. read more

Got off the inner state while on a road trip and found this location. We had eaten at another Viva before so decided to check it out. It is fast food, order at counter, serve your self soft drinks, get your silverware and they deliver food to you. Ok atmosphere, not the cleanest dining room and restroom needed cleaning. We ordered a quarter chicken with cilantro rice and fried yuca. We do enjoy the chicken with seasonings. We both wanted to know where the cilantro was in rice as there was no flavoring of it. The yuca is ok, think of a breaded fried potato wedge. Not much flavor. We both enjoyed the mild sauce. This is a healthier choice then a burger. Also, there must not be any sulfites on chicken as my wife had not allergic reactions. We will stop at another Viva if it is on our path of travel. read more

We've been eating at Viva Chicken since it opened at this location, and we've enjoyed it. We went again recently but wasn't so delighted with our meals. Firstly, when we opened our take-out bag the order was wrong. The salad we ordered was missing and we received a side we didn't ask for. Since we had already left the restaurant we couldn't go back and get it fixed. Secondly, the food was ridiculously greasy, including the rice. The food didn't taste bad, but it was so greasy I was cringing thinking about all the fat that must be in it. Overall, Viva is okay but I don't find the quality and attention to detail to be as good as it was originally. And I'm not sure why the food has become so much more greasy. This is the second time in a row we've experienced that. Probably won't be back for a while. read more

I'm honestly shocked I haven't reviewed this place yet. My boyfriend brought me here when we wanted to try something new. I read that it was a rotisserie chicken place and thought 'whatever.' I was not expecting much. Come to find out, it's a Peruvian restaurant and one of my unknown obsessions. The tacu bowl is everything that I didn't know I needed in life. They have an orange colored drink, that I unfortunately can't remember the name of, but it's so good. My love affair with this restaurant continued when I got the flu and just needed a good bowl of soup when I finally got my appetite back. I ordered the soup with chicken and my beloved orange drink several days in a row when they were still on Doordash. Sadly, they are not anymore. I have never had a single bad item from this restaurant. Everything has been delicious, and it makes me feel better about eating here that it's all decently healthy too. Honestly, the only downsides to this place are that 1. They signed an exclusive contract with UberEats while I use Doordash, and 2. They're extremely close to Walmart, Lidl, and Earth Fare, so I'm at risk of stopping here any time I'm out shopping for groceries. read more

You can never go wrong with getting viva! I usually frequent the midtown location but this one was great too! The food was delicious and fresh. They did only give me one small green sauce which was disappointing because I could drink it but haha the food was *chefs kiss* so much so that I didn't get to snap any pics! Guess that means I have to go back! read more

My first time eating here, I was optimistic by the reviews. I ordered their 1/4 chicken (white meat) with plantains and Peruvian corn salad. I was expecting smaller sides, but the portions were impressive! Everything was delicious and satisfying, absolutely delicious! read more

Every time I eat here it's always something different. Sometimes the salad only has 8 total pieces of lettuce. Sometimes the avocado is brown and tastes 3 weeks too old. Today my quinoa stuffed avocado was so salty it was inedible. This is the last time I give this place a shot. What a waste of money. read more

Viva Chicken is one of our favorite places to grab take-out for the family. There are options for the meat eaters as well as the vegetarians in the family. There are also plenty of options for my son, who is gluten-free. We typically order the same thing every time. Tuesday is our favorite day to order because of the Tacu Tuesday Family Meal. It's a great deal that offers enough food for a few meals. Although everything tastes great on its own, we always make sure to order plenty of yellow sauce on the side. Also, the plantains are super yummy and are a generous portion. Pro-tip: Be sure to download the Viva Chicken app to earn loyalty rewards points. read more

Being very familiar with Viva Chicken and finding out that they had a location in Concord, I was very excited to try this new location. Parking was great because they are on the main street which is Concord Mills Boulevard and they have a side parking lot so there are several places to park around their store. I was in a hurry, so I ordered my food to go. I ordered the Inca burrito with no beans, added, chicken, and selected the cilantro rice. I ordered a fountain drink and french fries and my total was very reasonable for an afternoon lunch. When I got home, I found that my burrito had beans in it and the flavor was very lackluster for the entire burrito. This was very disappointing because Viva Chicken is known for its spices. in the future when I go and order to-go food, I will have no choice now but to stand at a table, open it, and inspect it. For that reason, quick visit to Viva in the Concord location will be limited if I cannot trust what is being placed in my bag. read more

In ordered door dash from here a half chicken with 2 sides. I can't seem to get past how disgusting the chicken looked. It was not clean, graced with lots of feathers and excessive fat. I've eaten from here before, but after looking at the chicken that was delivered to me I can't bring myself to return. I was completely grossed out. This was my first time ordering a half chicken my go to is the quarter chicken. Nevertheless I was not pleased and will stare clear of this location. read more

My sister in law and I visited Charlotte for my daughter's bday. It was our first time in Charlotte and found Viva Chicken through Yelp. Coming from California, we hardly get customer service let alone have anyone speak when you order food these days. We're happy we came here not once but twice and the food and service did not disappoint. It was also my daughter's first time there and she said the food was bomb. The chicken is so tender you can use plastic utensils to cut it in half and it was super juicy. read more

Another rip off. I'm leaving this review based on Customer service. I'm Already paying for a meal, and asked for some extra sauce. I was told they are now limiting it because of a shortage of to go containers. I said so can't you out the sauce in something else ? The reply is no, but you can just buy a bottle. I was baffled that I have to now BUY and bottle of sauce , which is part of the whole menu and food that goes with the type of food. What's next, I gotta buy a bottle of ketchup when I want it on my fries ? Honestly I'm sick of this Covid excuse to Nickel and dime us and over charge for everything. The food is good. But it's quick service food serviced by teenagers. I can grill my own chicken and make my own sauce for 5 times less. By the way. The bottle was about 6 dollars. Rip off. read more

First time trying Viva chicken. I got it to go and it was piping hot! The chicken was rotisserie style and delish. The chicken soup and fried rice were good but very different from what I was expecting...lots of onions and cilantro. The churros were a little hard. The best part for me was the herbal limeade--omg so good! It could pass for a mock tail it was so flavorful. Def going back to try more of their fresh drinks! read more
