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

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

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

Viva Chicken - Rip off - Peruvian Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

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

Viva Chicken - 1/2 Chicken with 2 Sides - Peruvian Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

The first time I came here about a year or two back I had a bad experience because my food wasn't hot and the chicken I got was dry and stale. I decided to give it another try knowing how popular it is and did not regret it at all!! The fried rice is sooo good. It is super flavorful, filling, and I loved the taste of the onions and other vegetables in it. We got it without chicken and just ordered chicken on the side which was also super juicy and great. We ordered regular fries- they give a whole basket and they're thick and not too crispy which I love. We also got plantains and yuca fries. Their sides are much smaller than most places, only 4 yuca fries and 4 plantains in the side. It was good just really small. The sauces they offer all taste great with the food but the hot sauce they have isn't really hot. If you go with friends I would definitely recommend ordering a whole chicken with 3 family sides, you can get the fried rice as a side too. Also, don't skip desert! The tres leches cake was amazing!!!! Soaked, soft, and perfect. read more

This place is so over rated their quality has gone downhill, the last two orders I have placed were so disappointing, its like they are measuring their food! So I ordered their Tuesday special "Tacu Bowl" tray for 19.99 before yesterday this came with a decent quantity of meat and rice, well today they gave me 10 pounds of beans and little rice and almost not enough chicken. For 20 dollars at least give me some chicken. Then today I ordered some yuca and plantains to go, I kid you not I opened the box that I paid 4 dollars for each and there was like 4 miserable thin pieces of yuca and 3 small plantain slices, the side of avocado is basically a tiny slice of avocado and the rest is lettuce and that costs 1.89. You've lost a customer viva. read more

This is my second time having Viva Chicken. The first time it was catered so I wanted to try it fresh from the restaurant before officially reviewing. I got the quarter chicken (all dark meat but you can request white for extra charge) which comes with two sides. I chose the cilantro rice and green beans. I also got two sauces the green/medium (Huacatay) and red/hot (Rocoto). Everything was fresh a so good. I will say, without the skin and sauce the meat to me doesn't have much taste which is consistent with rotisserie chicken in general but the skin is seasoned perfectly. the green beans were different but good. It gave me a ginger garlic soy sauce flavor but I may be wrong lol. The rice was soft and cooked to perfection. Now, I feel like the sauce was spicier the first time I tried it than this time. So, to me the sauce specifically the red disappointing. Overall, I recommend you give it a try! Shout out to Isela for her great customer service! read more

I'm giving it 4 starts at the moment. I'll be back to try other items on the menu. Chicken, green beans and Jasmine rice. fresh and hot as expected. In Charlotte foe a few days, doing a lot of running around it was nice not to eat "fast food". read more

Their rotisserie chicken sandwich is absolutely the best. Service was great. My new favorite resturant

Ordered thru door dash. Food was packaged any kind of ways and plantain burnt and chicken looked good of to me ( like it was reheated not fresh). The rice smelled funny, I don't know what that smell is. I didn't enjoy my meal from here, waste of money! Funny thing I went to the one in Gastonia on 7/27/21 and didn't have all these issues only thing was that beans were cold etc. But that location is waaay better than this location. read more

James did a great job making eye contact, asking the right questions, and waiting patiently while I ordered my meal. My food was ready quickly and tasted fresh. Thanks! read more

I am unsure why I didn't pay my Brother in Law any attention when he mentioned that this place was really good, but good golly he was right. We pass by it frequently, but last week we decided to try it. We ordered from Door Dash. My husband and I both remarked how it tasted like delicious food you'd make at home. Since then we've ordered from there twice. Each time I got the same thing. It's called, "The Great" it's a roasted chicken sandwich with fresh baked Ciabatta bread, featuring seasoned roasted chicken, dressed with lettuce, firm slices of tomato and thin slices of red onion. He ordered the half of chicken with two sides. It seemed, he really enjoyed it. Finally, the chicken soup is anything but ordinary. I can't accurately describe it, because it's unlike any soup I have ever had before! Here's my attempt. It's a bold statement for soup. Starting with savory broth, portions of seasoned chicken, short grain rice, fresh herbs, fresh diced tomatoes and fresh diced red onions on top. **Swoons Shamelessly... Viva Chicken soup let's always be together. Okay I admit I am a fan girl for their chicken soup. I will try some of their other sides, at some point. But right now I will need that proverbial "minute" to get over this soup. The chicken soup is that one thing that you never knew you wanted so badly until you have had some. read more

Food is usually great, but the service leaves a lot to be desired. RARELY ready when promised and a completely inefficient system of getting food to customers. Always frustrating, and I only go back when it has been long enough in the past for me to forget how terrible the experience is. read more

Awesome & employees very helpful. Made the mistake of ordering for pick up at a different restaurant staff was wonderful reached out to the other store to cancel the order no headaches mistress they were wonderful awesome job read more

Never actually sat inside of Viva but it wasn't bad. I think it's more of a quick eat and go type of vibe. The service was A1 though. I love when the employees don't make everything so transactional. They treat you like a person and not a patron. The person who checked us out made great conversation about college football, which added a very welcoming feel. The food is always top notch. I got the Arroz Chaufa, which is essentially chicken and rice but it's very filling and very good! Will definitely continue to dine here and would encourage others to do the same! read more

This spot offers limited seating due to covid but you can still dine inside or the covered outdoor dining. The restaurant was very clean and they were running very efficiently. All the staff were masked with gloves and cleaning to ensure safe. I ordered the quarter chicken with plantain & jasmine rice. The food was hot and well prepared for a reasonable price. You cant go wrong with Viva! Sorry I demolished it before taking the pix ‍ read more

Today we stopped at this location. The kids love it so we brought their friends. The chicken has so much flavor and their fries are awesome. One kid didn't even want ketchup. The youngest didn't like her food, the manager gave me some fries on the house. Nice guy. Very helpful and on his job! Made sure dining area was clean. Great job!! read more

I ordered from the Concord Mills location on 9/3/24, with a 6:15pm order pickup. I ordered the Taco Family meal for 4. All of the food was dry, like it had been sitting all day. The chicken was dry with can i keep your phone flavor. The cilantro rice was also dry and old looking. I ordered a large green bean on the side, and what I didn't expect, dry tasteless green bean and red peppers. What happened? Can/will you make this right? read more

I got half chicken with 2 sides for myself (as I was super hungry) and got my veggie friend Tacu Bowl and both the dishes with the combination of sauces made them absolutely delicious. Chicken was moist cooked to perfection, the marination of the meat with mild spices were blended in the right quantity. Can't have a better quality food than this. read more

Viva Chicken - Peruvian Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

Love this place. The food is phenomenal. Staff is usually very friendly. Although on this recent visit for 1/13 the employees treated us as if we were annoying them when we had already placed our pickup order. Giving us nasty looks and assuming we were trying to order as they were closing. We stated we already have an order & that's when the attitude changed. No matter what we are doing as customers everyone should be treated equal and with respect. The app should also allow you to order extra sauces without being charged for it. Best day to get the best value is Thursdays where you can get a whole chicken plus three big sides for $20. Chicken is baked and very flavorful. Cilantro and Peruvian rice and fries are also good. The churros have a sweet caramel surprise inside. I also love the mint green drink they have read more

I've ordered take out and I've come in to place an order. Coming in was just as great of an experience as placing an order for delivery. I first discovered this place when I lived in Winston Salem. I was worried it wouldn't be the same quality that I had become accustomed to, but I was pleasantly surprised! They quality of the never misses! read more

I haven't had viva chicken in almost 3yrs. I ordered a salad and it was packed with flavor, crunch and nutrients. It's a tad bit on the pricy side but the quality and quantity you receive is well worth it. The chicken is nice and tender and I love the various toppings. read more

They always get my order right. Viva chicken has become a staple in my diet. I usually order the limena chopped. It's always fresh, and the dressing that comes with it compliments the salad well. The green herbal lemonade is a treat. The staff is always kind, and the wait is never too long, despite them being busy most of the time. There's a lunch special of a quarter chicken with a Side and a drink that's a good deal offered from 2:30-5:30. read more

Not bad for a chain restaurant. I enjoy rotisserie chicken especially with a Latin flavor I enjoy the chicken dishes with vegetables read more

Cheers for Viva opening in Concord and closer to me :) I was a little surprised to see Viva come this far north since Concord is not particularly known for diverse dining options. If you've been to a Viva Chicken before then you know the deal. Fast casual Peruvian restaurant known for its deliciously juicy rotisserie chicken and sauces. This location is located not too far from Concord Mills in the same shopping center as Lowes and Famous Toastery. There happens to be a Jason's Deli opening up next door soon so expect the already cramped parking lot to get even more busy. I typically call in my order so that it's ready for pick up when I arrive. When the location was still freshly opened, the wait times got to be longer than I had time for so I just started calling in my orders. Service has always been friendly and I appreciate that they read back your order to ensure accuracy. The sauce station is where all of the magic happens, truly. There's usually a group of people huddled around pumping their favorite sauce into tiny cups. Personally, I'm a yellow and red fan. I usually rotate my favorites when ordering: the great wrap with avocado & jalapeno bacon, the naked Peruvian wrap, viva salad, or the quinoa stuffed avocados with chicken. I recently discovered that their chicken soup is so delicious and packed with all of the veggies and hearty pieces of chicken. It is sure to cure whatever may ail you. read more

Viva Chicken - Quinoa stuffed avocados with chicken - Peruvian Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

Ordered to-go and paid $15.25 for the Lomo Saltado. The steak was literally charred to being crispy like someone forgot about it on the grill. Didn't find this out till I got home so I couldn't drive back. I have kids so when ordering take out before getting them ready for bed you are putting faith into the restaurant to serve good food. Besides the steak being burnt the rest of the dish was sub par. They served lomo saltado last year without issues. Seems like bringing it back might have been a mistake. Rest of the food for my family was alright. 3 stars for that part. Been here 15 times and this is my first review. $48.08 for 1 entree, 1 bowl, 1 soup and 2 sides. There was multiple customers inside telling the employees they never got their food and wanted a refund. Ended up the employees never called their names and out the food on the pick up rack by the door. I think management is not putting procedures to good use. I am contemplating not coming back. read more

Solid fast casual staple in Charlotte. Whether ordering a bowl or a 1/4,1/2, or whole chicken and sides the food is exceptional and sides pretty yummy as well. Make sure to dose up on their signature Peruvian sauces there is a flavor for everyone mild to spicy and all three are so good. Service is prompt. Order at counter and get a buzzer when it's ready. read more

Delicious food great service!!! Wish they put one in Boiling Springs SC.White Meat Chicken

Great value and great value, the food is healthy and great for you. The personnel are respectful and very professional

This place used to be great but now they are just stingy with the sauces and you have to dodge the bones and gristle in your pulled chicken. For the price, not sure I'll be back anytime soon. read more

One of the first times I was visiting Charlotte, I was craving French fries. We googled best fries in Charlotte, and this place came up so we went and gave it a shot. And frankly, it did not disappoint. The fresh fries are so crispy and flavorful, and there are three different sauces you can choose from: a mild yellow sauce, a medium green sauce, and a hot red sauce. My favorites are the yellow and red sauces. They also have a variety of innovative drinks, of which I've only ever tried the herbal limeade which is a refreshing mix of mint, rosemary, basil, and lime. I've only ever gotten their entrees once, and it wasn't nearly as good as the sides, so now I typically go for a snack and get the fries with a side of limeade, a great mid-day snack! read more

If I were you... come on a Thursday with your whole fam and get the family pack at a steal! Ok, so everyone knows that you can usually get a rotisserie chicken at the supermarket for like $5 to $7 but... it's in a bag or a box that's been sitting there for...who knows how long! For another $13 to $15, you can also get 3 fresh big sides and really great service and sauces. I think the quality is absolutely worth it. Thursdays their whole chicken meal is $4 cheaper at just over $22 with tax. That thing will absolutely feed a family of 4 assuming reasonable portions or 2 very hungry people who have no regard for their calorie intake (right hurr). The chicken was neatly cut into 4 piece - white meat and dark meat. The meat almost slid off the bone and was very moist and flavorful throughout. The skin was very clean (meaning you didn't accidentally find some feathers). We got the fried rice, corn salad, and yuca. Fried rice was deliciously flavored. The corn salad was well dressed. Both were amazingly *fresh* as heck. The yuca was also fried and seasoned to perfection and served with...some sort of dip made out of cheese I think? From ordering to serving, the meal was very pleasant. Everything in the store was very orderly and neat (multiple sauces to choose from, an online order section and line, ability to use real utensils and plates). Even when I was looking for some to-go boxes, the staff was just super nice in addressing me and then promptly getting me the box. I would absolutely recommend this place for a solid chicken meal. read more

I love this place. Their sides are fantastic. Personal faves include plantains, yuca fries, the fried rice, and the corn salad. On thursdays, they have a special, which has increased in price. I don't like chicken and yet, I love Viva Chicken. Probably because their chicken is tender and moist and overall, flavourful. Although it is a chain restaurant, the quality of food is exemplary. They have three different sauces, which are delicious as well. read more

Awesome Job Viva! We were passing through from Charleston SC and stopped for lunch. We had not been to this location. I think it's fairly new. The customer service was top notch. We even were greeted when we walked in and was told about the new loyalty program they are offering. I signed up in line and received 15 percent off for using it. We sadly don't have one of these in Charleston. I really hope it will happen one day. The food was amazing. I ordered the 1/4 chicken and two sides. I chose fries and canary beans. The beans had amazing flavor as well as the chicken. The fries were great! They came out hot and crispy. The restaurant was clean as well as the bathrooms. Staff also walked around asking us how our meals were and offering to take anything out of the way. The three sauces offered here are a must try as well. Everything tasted fresh! Thanks for a great experience!! read more
