Redoing a review like 8 years later! This place is still a great fast food mexican restaurant that is consistently fresh. I've never had something bad at this place, down to the salsas and condiments so fresh and tasty. Will always be a staple rotation. read more

I went looking for a taco Tuesday fix annnd I found something. So they had 3 tacos, choice of meat, chips smothered in beans and a drink for $10. Which isn't a bad deal, I'm used to the traditional rice and beans on the side. The cashier was helpful and friendly. The menu did seem a bit overwhelming, like it was screaming in your face, so prepare for that. The decor was standard, dining area, nothing crazy. The drink station is actually on the side, in a hallway. Odd. Al pastor was tender and flavorful. However, the asada was dry, like it's been sitting there. Maybe I got a bad batch. I was already at home, so I wasn't gonna complain. Overall, the Tuesday deal is fairly decent for the Silverado side. I'll try this place again, next Tuesday! read more

I come here often and they used to be amazing but now they have went horrible after they can't hear I ask them many times not to put beans on chips and they keep doing it I have even went in and asked them to and I asked directly for them not to put it on and they can't listen Besides this the food is good is looks clean and calm inside it is nice and cold read more

Late lunch after running some errands. Tacos or Subway? I think 3 tacos and a drink for $10 is a good deal. It's their Tuesday special. Pretty good reviews from fellow Yelpers. Quick and friendly service. Self serve fountain drinks. I ordered 2 carnitas and an el pastor. It also came with some chips and a bit of refried beans. Both meats were substantial but a bit dry and had tons of cilantro and onions. The place is clean and had a few tables for dine in. Good for a quick taco fix. read more

Excellent customer service. Decent wait time. OK rolled tacos and a relatively decent size/tasting chorizo breakfast burrito. It's sooo hard to find a delicious chorizo breakfast burrito in my opinion. Although viva El taco doesn't have the best ones in town. They also don't have the worst. But given the fact that I'm not in the habit of falling in love with basic, average, mediocre and just OK eats this first visit of mine to Vita El tacos will also be my last. read more

The service is friendly and helpful. The prices are higher in person than the photos. I had the carne asada taco plate. The tacos are loaded with meat, onions, and lettuce. They were missing salsa and some more meat juice. The rice is a missed opportunity because it was too salty for my palate while beans had a weird aftertaste and salty. I had the asada, Lengua and cabeza. Next time, I'll just go with asada and try the grilled chicken. There are tables with stools and chairs but it's at the front of the shop, feels awkward and not very private. read more

So this is my second review. In my first review I stated that I would be back to try the taco Tuesday special 3 street tacos for 10.00. I was a little skeptical but I thought I would give it a try well I have to say I was not disappointed. Three tacos with chips and some refried beans and a drink. The presentation was great the first bite of the taco the only thing that I could say was fuck me!!! Holy fuck! I found a place close to my house that has the best street tacos I've ever tasted since leaving Southern California. I've been here in Vegas for 11 years now and the best street tacos that I had found were in N. Las Vegas and a 25 minute drive but they were worth the drive now this place is only a two minute drive and they are just as good as the other place so I highly recommend there taco Tuesday special I'll be back next Tuesday for lunch again and again and again. read more

I was in the mood for some tacos while my kid ordered some burgers next door. The ambiance in there was clean, bright, and everything was fresh. The service was great, the asada was well cooked and not over seasoned or burnt. The seasonings were modernized from the authentic recipes but I appreciated the taste and pairings. If I'm in the area I'll definitely come back for more. read more

10 stars! Holy guacamole! I eat a lot of tacos. I am so tired of bland cheap meat used as an excuse for carme asada, so I usually end up making them myself. But I was a little hungry and craving it, so I turned to Yelp, of course. Luckily for me, it's nearby which makes it convenient. Some of fellow Elites posted awesome reviews and mouth watering pics. And you did not disappoint! Hands down, the best carne asada street taco I've ever had. The cubed beef is perfectly season, perfectly cooked and tender with a touch of crispy char. It really tastes like wagyu filet mignon! And their salsas are house made and also so flavorful. The place is small but mighty. Do you pay more for a street taco than other places? Yep, but it's so worth it. I'd much pay more for something I truly enjoy. Ang yess what? Go on Taco Tuesdays to get 3 street tacos for $10! I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed. But service was fast and friendly.'This may be my new addiction. Heading back soon to try the other items! Viva El Taco! read more

Let's taco 'bout it! The family and I were craving some Mexican food on a Friday night and definitely wanted take out. We decided to try Viva El Taco Express and it did not disappoint! I decided to try their carne asada fries, husband got the carnitas wet burrito, and my 2 year old got the Viva kids meal (chicken quesadilla and fries). The service was great and quick since I called ahead to place our order. We were all so happy with our food that Viva El Taco is our new spot for Mexican take out! read more

Got a carne asada burrito and al pastor tacos. The burrito was all meat with salsa, just the way I like it. The beef was tender and flavorful, but the mild hot sauce was spicier than I thought it would be. The tacos were also very flavorful and filling. Despite it being busy, customer service was friendly and fast. Prices were reasonable. Definitely will be back. read more

Let me tell y'all something ..... I'm from California and finding comparable Mexican food is HARD. I mean HARD and then when you do find a good place you have to move. I took a chance on this place because I was tired of Roberto's old dry meat. Baby when I say this was the best decision I made in a LONG time. The horchata was taste just like Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk and the carne asada fries were SO FLAVORFUL. You can tell they use a really good cut of meat! Best $44 I've spent on fast food in a while read more

One of my favorite taco shops in SW. very good food, good portions, and the restaurant is very clean. They are very friendly there too!

Always fresh, always delicious! The staff is great, and I'll even drive 12 minutes in the middle of the night just to eat here--passing a closer Roberto's without a second thought. This place is my go-to Mexican restaurant every time for a late night meal. read more

In order to make Birria, you have to make it like a soup and then you pull the beef out or the goat meat and then you make your tacos or your quesabirria taco. This place tries to sell you the consume separate for an additional two dollars. I used to come here all the time I will no longer give this place my business. I'm Mexican and there's several other places in town especially the ones in North Las Vegas that do not charge you because it's part of making the Birria. It makes no sense and they're just trying to make more money on us. I will not recommend this place to anybody. Try Birria Bite which I think is much better and they give you the Consume. Better atmosphere and the food is delicious read more

They're always solid and very friendly Love the burritos, and daily specials. The red sauce is my fave read more

The first couple of times I've ordered from this place was okay. The food is decent I'll give it that but they are not consistent with how the food is served. They've made plenty of mistakes in between ordering from them but we always gave them a chance. But I will not be ordering from them again considering there was an earwig "pincher bug" in my cooked food! I called back to let them know and the girl did at least seem concerned and said they can comp my next meal. I told her that was okay but I would like to go another day. All she did was take down my name. No confirmation or anything. A couple weeks later my husband called and we ordered take out, we asked about the "comped meal". The girl acted like she knew about it. But upon arrival she told my husband the owner wasn't going to honor it. It is so hard to find a decent Mexican spot on this side of town and in all of Vegas (in my opinion) with that being said I won't be going back to this maggot infested hole in the wall. read more

I kept coming to this place ordering burritos but unfortunately they always seemed okay at best. I decided to order asada fries however and it was leagues better. It seems like the items they do well, they do extremely well. Every time I try something besides the burritos i'm not disappointed. The specials they have weekly are great as well! Friendly staff and its pretty cozy to eat there. read more

Heard so many good things about this place, thought I'd give them a try. Place my order with the lady at the counter and when I got home only one item was correct....the wet BRC burrito. My other 2 orders were wrong. I ordered 5 Beef Rolled Tacos & asked them to put all the toppings on the side, so the rolled tacos will still be crispy when I get home. Not only did they put all the toppings on top, I got 2 beef & 3 chicken & they were so soggy. Third item was supposed to be a wet Chile Relleno Burrito, but I got just a Chile Relleno...not a burrito. I will give them one more try, because of all the great reviews, maybe it was just an off day. Great customer service & the place was very clean! read more

I knew from the first bite, refried beans, that today this was a great choice! You see I judge any Mexican Restaurant by their Rice and Beans because if you can't get the simple stuff right... well then. Then I bit into a Crunchy Chicken Taco. Wow! Very full of moist and flavorful Chicken and very fresh lettuce and cheese! The Street Tacos didn't disappoint either.i chose one of each, Asada, Carnitas and Al Pastor. They were just as good! Lots of meat and very fresh onions and Cilantro too! The gal at the counter was super courteous and then you can see the cook go to work as soon as you order so you know it's fresh! The flavor of everything was amazing. The place is clean and cute and the whole experience surpassed some I have had at places that you sit and order from a server! I Definitely recommend this great little Taco Shop! read more

On the hunt for authentic Mexican - I got the first combo Which is an enchilada, hard shell taco and rice and beans. The beans are delicious The rice is okay - for vegans they use chicken bullón :( but it was 7/10 for the rice... I just love rice made authentically. Okay now for the tacos Hard shell - got it beef - 2/10 I will not be getting the hard shell again :b Enchilada 6/10 it was good but ..... eh idk Rice 6/10 Beans 9/10 The red chili salsa was 2/10 I love spicy but it was all spice no flavor The green gets 7/10 twas good. Oh also I'm new in town from Cali - and looking for some authentic home style cooking. I also didn't like the small amount of beans and rice. So small. read more

Was racially profiled. Came in for lunch. I don't order in Spanish. Sat down for about 5 minutes before the next person came in, they ordered in Spanish. Their order was started before mine and almost finished before mine was started. Im sorry I don't speak Spanish. The food is good at all locations and I'll keep going to the one by my house as they have amazing customer service, but this one has a secret code you need for good service. read more

Very clean environment upon walking in. The staff was also really friendly, immediately. We ordered our food and they brought it to us within ten minutes. All of our food was made fresh, and fast. We were here for a quick lunch. I recommend for quick lunches as well, if you're on the go. We sat for about twenty minutes to half hour total. Watched some telanovelas and were on our merry way. We will be back here. We appreciate the quickness and convenience when we just want a quick bite to eat. They also offer grilled chicken tacos, which about half the places in vegas for tacos on the go, (large chains, I won't name) don't all have grilled chicken. The rice was also made in restaurant, which was nice because it had an authentic flavor. read more

This used to be best bang for your bucks. I call this extra $1 charge for everything. Even customer restroom. This ain't California. First of all extra charge $1 for asada on top of increased price for all items. Also extra $1 for refill soda. Smh I'm broke. Couple of months I would enjoy my hard earn money here.

When I think of Las Vegas, I think of slot machines chiming in unison, dazzling lights, cocaine and bad drivers. Let me tell you, I was not expecting to find some of the best Tacos here. As a taco connoisseur, I take my tacos as serio as pedro (petho) I've had many tacos across the city, and STATE and my search has finally ended. We ordered, the Carne Asada tacos and Nachos, Al Pastor, Carnitas and Cabeza (By accident). I wasn't prepared, I wasn't ready for it chico! When my mouth and that Carnita met for the first time, it was love at first bite. Juicy, flavorful, charred perfectly. The Al Pastor, even though it didn't come off a rotating fire grill, in my most humble opinion, it was BETTER than Tacos El Gordo. The Super Nachos, fuhgeddaboudit, delicious! The Cabeza, took me a few minutes to build the huevos to take a bite, and when I did, it wasn't bad at all. Would I ever order it again, maybe in another lifetime, not because it wasn't any good, but the only BRAIN I enjoy is the one i get from my wifey every Christmas or BDay. read more

Carne asada ordered was chopped instead of a whole sliced of meat. I guess they chop the meat so it will get tender since they use cheap quality meat. Tortilla was fresh made. read more
