    This is my first time trying Viva Mexico restaurant in Buford though I've been living here for many years. I was craving Birria tacos so I looked it up on yelp and Viva came up! I arrived at the restaurant and placed my to go order and the server was very kind. I ordered the beef and cheese birria tacos and the beef was flavorful and the tacos were Super delicious. The consume was the cherry on top. I'll definitely be back again.

    This restaurant is an authentic Mexican restaurant! It has been a family favorite for years. We ordered steak fajitas for two and enjoyed them. I felt like the toppings (lettuce, sour cream) were not enough for the meal. However, the service was exceptional. The ambiance is pleasant and feels home-y.

    I don't know why I haven't eaten here before. I love birria tacos and the ones here were delicious! Their elote is so good I almost wish I ordered just 3 of these! Mouth watering good. Will order every time I go! Their salsa is some of the best I've had at a restaurant. I could practically drink it, it was so yummy. The staff was super nice and the place is clean and quaint. I'll be back soon!

    We visited this place for the first time today. I am on a keto diet and typically order some type of fajitas when we go to a Mexican restaurant. I cannot have onions, rice or tortillas. Which I completely understand is not the restaurants fault. I never ask for any discounts when ordering the way I do even tho the restaurant saves quite a bit when I pay full price for the item minus several items. Today I simply asked if they could sub out the onions with mushrooms. The waitress was awesome- told me she wasn't sure but she'd ask. I told her, it's fine if you can't, I still don't want I onions. When she returned she said they couldn't just sub the mushrooms - it would be a $2 charge!! Really? They won't provide a simple substitution with all the things I'm not getting? The food itself was mediocre. I've never had fajitas with the tomato "sauce" that these were served with. We are y from Buford, but travel here once a month for a doctors appointment. Always looking for a new place for lunch and this place isn't it.

    This is one our favorite Mexican restaurants! Their food is always so good and their service is great! Their food is a different style from most of the local places, especially with their birria tacos. We've had some tacos in different states and even in different countries but my partner says these are in his top 5. Their basic dishes, like enchiladas and tamals are incredible also. Their restaurant is always very clean, everyone is so nice and the food comes out pretty fast. If you're in the Buford area, you have to check them out! If you're like us, you'll leave super full and very satisfied!

    The food here was absolutely fabulous. Mexican happens to be one of my favorite cuisines. I sometimes like to sit at the bar so that I can listen to the chatter from the other patrons, and that's where I chose to sit this day. The cocktail featured was absolutely delicious. You could tell that there was freshly squeezed juice because there was pulp present. Parking is extremely convenient and the staffwere awesome.

    AMAZING birria tacos

    I ordered only 1 thing due to a review I saw on Yelp. I ordered birria tacos. It was delicious. Shared with my son who said it was the best taco he's ever eaten. It's been days and I keep thinking/craving those tacos again. They were crunchy, juicy, flavorful and the dipping juice was out of this world. I'm going back this week! Try it out!

    Always great food at Viva! We go here over Frontera every time!! The tacos are always huge and over filled and we love the chips and salsa. Also the drinks are a must!!

    Just beware before you order what you think it's Mexican chile rellenos... they're not, they're carne molida con queso y una raja de chile. Here's the definition of a chile relleno: "green chile pepper stuffed with minced meat and coated with eggs". Horrible, they need to remove that item from grubhub as "chile relleno"... it was ground beef (not very appetizing by the way), melted nacho cheese and a slice of pepper... The picture will give you an idea.

    Chimichanga. This was good! Come here for this & this alone!
    Jeaneia Z.

    This place isn't far from our house so we stopped in... Service was okay. Not sure if it was because it was near closing time that everything was just wrong. My black beans had literally NO FLAVOR! Same with the guacamole. My taco was good. Rice didn't have flavor either. He order a chimichanga & said it was good so that's a good thing! 1 plus there. So I asked for sour cream for my taco, my 1 taco, they gave me an entire bowl! I'm not kidding, literally a bowl full of sour cream. It was comical. All in all. We will not return. & I do not recommend. Just drive down Buford Hwy& try El Real in the Kroger plaza. Food is good & service is great!

I've heard of a Monte Cristo sandwich, but in all my years of living, I've never actually eaten one until today! I was set on ordering a classic double cheeseburger when a Monte Cristo sandwich drifted past my table on the way to another. I was mesmerized and needed to know the name of that sandwich immediately, so I made my way over to the couple who ordered it and asked if it was good! The woman simply told me restaurants that make Monte Cristo's (in general) are hard to find, and THIS is one of her favorite places on the planet to get one. ENOUGH SAID!!! I must admit I still spent the next few minutes wrestling back-and-forth over ordering it or the burger that I originally came for, but in the end, I was extremely pleased that I chose the Monte Cristo! It is now one of my new favorite things to order. Every year on yelp I declare my favorite new food find, and I'm pretty certain this is going to be my winner for 2026. Everyone in our group also enjoyed their meals which included shotgun wings (5 stars), strawberry quinoa salad, Philly, cheesesteak, chicken salad, a veggie pizza and chicken tacos. It was three of our four guests first visit, but they promised it wouldn't be their last. The atmosphere was great for conversation, the sweet tea was absolutely perfect, and our server Hailey was amazingly attentive. Could not have asked for a better visit!

Hubby got the sunshine burger. Nice to pay st the table with the kiosk, but our server vanished. Kids were anxious to leave, had to stop another server for to go boxes. She was very attentive till the end. 20% tip.

Picture a place that plays loud music that travels far from the restaurant. It doesn't sound very loud while you're there. But it travels far...literally a mile and a half away at a friend's house, we could hear the bass at midnight. The place doesn't serve food and to get around that, they bring in food trucks. The food is not great. It's hard to describe this place. It's dark inside like it's trying to be a place where people dance, but nobody dances. The inside is very empty. They share a fire pit with other restaurants. There's a rock playground for children to climb on that's made of plastic... but it is in the wrong place, since it's a place where people drink beer and get drunk. It's a weird vibe. I don't think it adds anything to the neighborhood or to the ambience of that little area of restaurants. As a matter of fact, it's like going down to Tijuana, with every shop playing loud music trying to get your attention. Go to Tequila Mama .. that's a much better way to spend your evening and that's right next-door.

I believe they have two pool tables and four or so dart boards. The pool is always popular, but the darts are almost always available the few times I've visited. The food and drink prices were pretty reasonable. Food quality is pretty average for bar food. You know how it is. Nothing of the extreme spectrum of gross or amazing, just right in the middle. I have a receipt from three years ago because I wanted to remember certain drinks that was ordered. Well... The Irish car bombs for instance has not increased in price: $7.50. I can't believe some of their prices haven't changed in years. But their drink selection has all sort of types and prices.

The parking was ample and the overall ease of getting to the restaurant was simple. Upon walking in, the ambiance is very inviting and the space is hugeeeeee. Though it's a sports tavern, it's not super crowded and the tables are perfectly placed to allow you to enjoy those who are with. Our waitress was super nice and was able to keep her cool as well as our orders straight as there were 6 tables worth of us. Yeah, we kind of took over the whole middle section. LoL!! As the menu is very straight forward, it has something for everyone. As I didn't want to eat too heavy, I decided to get the Grilled Cheese (add bacon) with fries along with a Sweet Tea. After placing my order, the waitress said it would be a few minutes and promptly delivered my sweet tea. Babeeeeeeeee. The sweet tea at Mazzy's is the bombbbbbbbbb. Next time I'm asking for a pitcher. Ha! When my food arrived, it was hot, smelled amazing, and was visually pleasing. The bacon was crispy and sat well in the gooey cheese. The bread was perfectly toasted to golden perfection and the cheese was not skimp. Whoever made this grilled cheese understood the cheese to bread to bacon ratio requirements. The fries were perfectly fried as well and flavorful. They paired well with the sandwich as the salt levels weren't too high. Sis enjoyed her birthday. I enjoyed the food, sweet tea, and service, and best of all. I will be returning. Thank you Mazzy's staff!!!
