A good Mexican restaurant with plenty of seating and a menu with plenty of options. The area has so many of equal value and quality, so location is going to be the distinguishing factor. This is right off exit 14 of I-575 so it's convenient for those coming and going to the Canton or Holly Springs area. Parking is plentiful although it's at the far end of the parking lot, so there is some navigation involved. The service was attentive and I never lacked for a drink refill. The tortilla chips were fresh and warm and served with plenty of salsa. My entree was the Steak al la Tampiquena, and the flour tortillas, beans with cheese, pico, guacamole, poblano, rice, tomato/lettuce that came with it were all good. The dining area was pleasant with comfortable seating. read more

We come here frequently, the food is decent, the service is quick. But after tonight, I'm not sure we will ever be back. Our waitress asked if she could refill my drink, took my cup and did not come back until several minutes later. When she finally returned, she set a cup down on a table nearby and set mine down before me. I take a sip & notice the flavor is off. Then look up to see that my cup (had a lime in it) is set on the other man's table & she brought me his drink (with no lime). Absolutely disgusting. Systems should be in place so this never happens. Management did not seem to care. read more

No. Nothing special. Both meals we had were blah. Chips/salsa just ok. Once we got our food our server disappeared. Had to call her over to get water refilled. Never asked for feedback on the meal. There's no reason to go here unless the bar is well run. read more

I've been going to Viva for nearly 10 years most weeks multiple times per week. This place is always on point. Good fast and affordable. The staff is amazing and the specials are always great. read more

This is our go-to place for Mexican food. We have never been disappointed by the meals (although we have settled in on just a few of our usuals). The staff is super friendly. Give them a try. read more

Food is good .I placed a pick up order . I was not happy with the fact that there prices are different online that what you get charged once you pick up your order at the restaurant. I called and asked about it and was told they don't have any control over their website. It's 2024 most customers check restaurant websites before they decide to visit . What's the point of having a business website if the information is not updated and inaccurate for customers. read more

I get take out from Viva quite frequently. Their queso is soo good and the chicken and beef enchiladas are tasty. Not sure why the reviews are not so great for this place but I don't think I've had a terrible experience here. Food is usually ready pretty quickly and they pack up the food really nicely for to-go. Their salsa is good too. Lots of seating inside, it's a good sized restaurant and parking is plenty since Publix is next door. read more

I had a lunch special #1 on Sat. 11/23/19, arriving at 2:35 pm cost $5.83 with tax. I have been a lunch customer there for 4 years, attending once every 7-10 days. Today the meal was just above room temp, I ate some but by then it was cold so I left the remainder. I told 2 staff that the meal was served luke warm, both said 'Sorry' and went on to do other things. This was a disappointing response for a repeat customer who has eaten there probably over 150+ times. I would have expected them to say something on the order of 'Sorry, no charge for today!' read more

Food awesome, service amazing , best place around to eat , ambience good, great place .

Per other reviews, I believe I must have come here at a bad time, 2pm on a weekday. You could say I'm spoiled, as years ago I was introduced to Monterrey's Mexican restaurant on 92 at I-575. Regardless of the time of day or what day, they're always good. Even at their worst, they're great. So I guess my take on Viva is tainted. When at Viva, they were slow, but plenty of employees present. A menu was presented and a few minutes later, my server came back and asked what I wanted. Still looking at the menu intently, I asked if she'd give me a minute, since it was my first time there. During the 20 minute wait, with my menu obviously placed on the table, several other customers came in and were served as I patiently waited. Had I not been hungry, I'd have left. Nobody wants to be forgotten at a restaurant. Sadly, though the food temperature was warm, it wasn't too tasty. Guess I got here on one of their bad days. I'll try them one more time, but that's all. Yes, as mentioned above, Monterrey's does have me spoiled ( fantastic food & service), but no one likes to be ignored in a restaurant, especially if they're hungry! read more

Always happy with food, but today's salad was so fresh and tasty. Perfect for when your husband wants Mexican and you want to try to eat halfway healthy. :) read more

HOLLY MILL Residents Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/hollymill30114/ VIVA MEXICO - in the Publix Shopping Center, 130 Prominence Point Pky, Canton. I have lunch there once a week. Today I had the hamburger and fries from the 'Childrens Menu' which is available to adults for an additional $1.95. I would rate it about a B, however I had to drop that to a C due to their wanting to charge me an additional $1.25 for a sprinkle of raw onions. I made it clear that this was way over the top and they reduced it to 70 cents, which in my opinion is 70 cents more than it should be. So the burger/fries at Viva Mexico are off my list of things to order as far as I am concerned a hamburger with no onions is just dead cow. So no more burgers at Viva Mexico they are overcharging customers. read more

Rice always taste old never fresh tasting. Chips are not authentic tasting like Azule Mexican restaurant read more

The food was good. The service on this particular night was slow. However my debit card information was somehow stolen and my bank account was fraudulently used to the tune of $225!!! Fortunately I have a great bank and they are working to fix this So if you decide to eat here, it is a good idea to pay with cash. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday for lunch after running errands. The place was pretty empty but people were starting to trickle in as we were seated. The margarona was really good although high priced at $12 and the margaritas were way too sweet so I'd never order one with out a corona. The food was just ok. I had a fajita taco salad and it was underwhelming at best. The servers, hosts and bartenders were kind and the bathroom was very clean which I always appreciate. read more

First time stopping in here as we just moved to the area. We ordered to-go so didn't have a ton of interaction with the place. The employees were friendly and I really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, but unfortunately the food did NOT agree with my body. Only ordered tacos and queso so nothing too crazy. read more

The food was fresh and outstanding. Our waiter, Ulises, was attentive and charming, making our meal even more enjoyable. Awesome atmosphere - this place is terrific! read more

Real convenient place from our house. Sometimes very slow service even when they aren't packed. This is something they need to work on. The food is typical mexican & the beer is always cold. I recommend it if you got time to relax a lil & enjoy a good atmosphere. read more

It is a pleasure to visit a restaurant and only have nice things to say. That is how I feel about my visit to "Viva Mexico." I am not a fan of Mexican food, the group I was with chose this place. The place was packed this night, in spite of the crowd we were seated in less than five minutes. Everyone we encountered was kind, courteous and professional. I tried the Camarones a la Diabla-Shrimps grilled and covered with a very spicy diabla sauce.Served with rice and avocado salad. Very good choice, but be warned it's not for the casual diner, it is hot. You also can't miss if you order the; Paella Mexicana Grilled steak, chicken, shrimp, seafood, onions, tomatoes and bell peppers casserole topped with shredded, melted cheese. Served on a bed of rice with salad and three tortillas. Two of the guests I was with agreed that this place serves the best margaritas in town. This is as good as it gets! read more

Viva Mexico Mexican Restaurant - A good looking bar should be the bars focal point - Mexican Near Me - Canton, Georgia

When it comes to Mexican food and cold beer in Canton Viva Mexico is my neighborhood stop. Service here can be either great or really crappy; but usually it isn't so bad. Seems like the female staff here is more on the ball than the males. I haven't tried any drinks here as far as mixed drinks or Margaritas, but I can speak for the beer; it's always cold and refreshing and they serve 32oz mugs. For food here the queso dip is a little watery, but ok. The fajita quesadilla is probably my favorite; the steak is always very tender and the blend of onions, peppers, and cheese are on point. This is nowhere near the best Mexican restaurant around, but it is for big city of Canton. read more

Authentic Mexican food good enough for Trump! When I have to wait an hour to be seated at the other local Canton Mexican hotspot called La NoSeata, I come here. They mean business here; they seat you right away & serve you like no other place. The atmosphere is fun & lively and on a Friday night after 8 PM, this place gets packed. The portions are generous & the crowd is always well behaved, even after drinking the awesome margaritas here: Hint: Go with the frozen Texas margarita w/salt & go small (they're stronger, so go small) Jumbo 27 oz. is &9.25 but for .75 cents more, you get a stronger drink that you can share. read more

Awful. So many other better Mexican restaurants in our area. Service was slow and food was very bland.

We have had some nice service and pretty good food as well. The staff has been quick and efficient. The soup and nachos are quite delicious. I'm really happy that this is close to where I live. Some of the other reviews indicate poor service and food both it was packed tonight. They also have great drink specials if you are into that. read more

We haven't been to Viva Mexico for a while, no particular reason. We got there about 430 not busy, or server was Blanca she was absolutely the best, she kept our drinks filled, chips full and our food was piping hot like they just finished it. She was the only server but she was keeping everyone happy. She makes going out to a very nice experience. read more

You can absolutely grab a very quick lunch at this restaurant. Viva Mexico serves up reliably good Tex-Mex very quickly. The guac is good. And the bar seems to pour a good drink. And the price points are not that high at all. read more

gave our to-go order to the wrong people & then messed up the order they remade for us after being TOLD it was for allergy purposes AND after waiting 45 mins. girls at host stand couldn't stop giggling like something was funny. do your job right or don't have one at all. oh and the THIRD soup they made for us was cold at the bottom. disappointing to say the least. oh and they offered zero compensation for THEIR mess ups. read more

This Canton location is our go-to restaurant for Mexican Food. We are regulars, with typically two visit a week. The food is excellent, the service is generally fast (sometimes they are busy and the wait is extended), and the staff is always nice and attentive. Granted prices did go up some since COVID but they did almost everyplace. We will continue to frequent Viva! read more

Wow!!!! I just had lunch here today and I've gotta say I am deeply disappointed! I've eaten here before years ago and it was ok food but I guess they must have changed things up. I ordered the #3 combination on the dinner menu. It's a taco, Chile relleno, and an enchilada. 3 items!!! $9.00! The price isn't the problem but what they served me was. I got a beef taco that was dry and tasteless. A "Chile relleno" that had a piece of green pepper less than an inch long, a scoop of beef and some breading on it. No sauce no cheese??? Finally a chicken enchilada that was about as big as a taquito from QT. I showed the waiter the little piece of green pepper and I said what is this? His answer?? He giggled! Unbelievable!!! I will never waste another dime here nor should you. It's just not worth it especially with all the other Mexican Restaurants in the Canton area. Very sad place!! read more

I have been coming to Viva Mexico since I was a child. It is my FAVORITE place to go for Mexican food. The service is always sweet and fast, and some of the employees I have recognized since my childhood. The food is delicious - I love the pollo fundido, nachos, carne asada, & tacos. This place is a classic for Canton families read more
