Great food and service was great , Great atmosphere would recommend to anybody,Lucy was great so nice great waitress

Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere! Jonathan our server was amazing too! Drinks were flowing, music, outdoor seating.....just our fav Mexican restaurant

First time here had the verde burrito delish! Mango margaritas delish! The staff was amazing and our server Batian (hope I spelled correctly) was a great server friendly!

We just moved to the area and wanted to find good Mexican food close by. We had an amazing experience and cannot wait to be back. We ordered queso, chips, beef enchiladas, the Villa Special and skinny margaritas. Everything was great!

Super Coconut Shrimp served fast, hot and delicious! Outstanding Service with a Smile. Cozy restaurant with excellent food and WiFi. Great ambiance!

The tacos were good and not stingy with the fillings. My hub loves the California burrito which is like a big fajita wrapped up with all the toppings. The chips are fresh and service was very friendly. We first sat in a booth that had a broken seat so maybe the interior could use some sprucing up, but there's a large deck with lots of tables for when it's nice outside.

The menus both food and drinks have a variety of items. I'm having a Dos Equis Ambar.

I visited for lunch today with my kids and their grandmother. We were able to sit out on the patio which was fairly cool for such a warm day. We had a small dog with us as well so we sat near the corner of the patio. Our sever was fast and very attentive. The food was really great! Everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The one thing I didn't love was the initial salsa was very bland but the spicy salsa was GREAT! My oldest has a thing for ceviche and for the money it was just alright. Flavor was a bit lacking but the addition of the lime helped. For $19 I expected a little better but the presentation was beautiful. I highly recommend the chunky guacamole which we could have gotten 2 orders of but decided we probably should save room for the entrees. If you have kids their kids chicken fingers is a huge plate. The fries were great, chicken was a little overcooked. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be back!

Everything about this place is AMAZING!!! The chip's and salsa were perfect! We ordered a pitcher of Mango Margaritas and OMG it was sooooo good! Then the food came out and I could not of asked for anything better. We had Gina take care of us and she was wonderful! The only problem is we do not have one of these places in Summervile, SC! I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Prices are INSANELY high for mediocre food. We used to come here often when it was a smaller franchise but I know this for certain, we will not be back. $18.99 for a combo meal?? That should be the cheapest thing on the menu. The place is always empty. If it were me, I'd rather charge less and have more people come in. read more

I came here on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere was excellent. Nice staff, and the music was playing at the perfect volume. I even caught myself tapping my foot while I was working on my laptop. I would certainly return and would love to get a beverage next time that isn't water as long as they switch to Pepsi!

We have so many choices for Mexican food in Greenville. Today we decided to try Viva Villa in Mauldin. Now let's be clear- we are Las Meras Tortas fans to be sure but man- let's talk about the tacos at this place- to die for. We had the Asada, Pastor, and Carnitas tacos. The meat was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of fresh onions and cilantro. The presentation was nice as well with a roasted jalapeño and onion. The service was fast and efficient. The chips were nice and hot and the salsa was mild but super flavorful. read more

I visited Viva Villa with much anticipation after reading glowing reviews on the Greenville location. The restaurant is a needed addition to the Mauldin restaurant scene. The restaurant has a clean look inside with optional outside porch seating. The food is best described as "under-whelming" for me. I like the chips warm or hot. That's not the case here. With fajitas, they must come out sizzling on a hot plate for my taste. There is no sizzle and no hot plated fajitas here. It's almost like the fajitas are cooked well in advance and spooned onto a plate. Service was fair. Viva Villa is convenient, but, if you are looking for fresh hot Mexican food, you may want to drive a little further. read more

A delicious hole in the wall surprise! I've seen several restaurants come and go from this location and honestly just thought this would be the next but noticed on Yelp that it was a favorite for Mexican food in Mauldin. The interior is small and busy but we were still able to get a table right away. The menu has all of your traditional Mexican favorites along with a few additional speciality items. We went for Saturday dinner and I tried the Shrimp fajitas which was quite delicious. My wife ordered the Mojarra Frita and she really enjoyed it. Both entrees were generous portions. The service is over the top friendly and attentive. The start of each meal comes with house salsa and chips. Both were great, the chips were nice and thick and the salsa tasted really fresh. I will definitely check this place out again. It would be a great option for take-out as well. read more

She said: Excellent food! So glad to have a New Mexican restaurant in the Mauldin area! He said: food and service really good. It's an old Arby's so there are limitations to the inside. But the food is really good. You really want the "Chunky Guacamole". It is soo fresh and good. The sopes were delicious. The salsa was good. The soda tasted right. It's a winner. EDIT: have been back several times now. Food and service always good. The chunky guacamole ranges from superb to pretty darn good. I wish they'd tighten that up. The tacos good. The tamales good.

My visit to this new location in Mauldin is what i have come expect from Viva Villa. The owners have achieved consistency across both restaurants. One of the owners was there working and came over and spoke to us. He recognized us from our visits to the East North Street location. We ordered off the Pick Two portion of the menu and had the chile relleno and chicken burrito with rice and beans. The food was hot and flavorful when it reached our tsble. Exactly what we are accustomed to from the Viva Villa brand. It will be interesting to see how well they do in this location. There have been several restaurant businesses in this location and they have moved on. Hopefully the consistency of flavors and the cheerful service will have this place open for a long time. read more

The first time, I was alone, this trip, I was accompanied by my wife. This is important because she has an eye for so many different things than I do, such as the nice, clean, updated decor; the music was unobtrusive and pleasant, it is an open space that "a group of women would like." For me, it looks like a great bar area to watch a game on a relaxed weekend day or night with great drink options and tasty food. I would imagine this is a great happy hour bar, but not a loud kind, just a comfortable space with plenty of options. But, we were here for lunch. I ordered the chicken tinga crispy Mexican flautas: Crispy Mexican-Style flautas stuffed with Tinga chicken, topped with El Cielo sauce and house dressing, served with rice, beans, sour cream and lettuce. It was delicious....again. No wonder it is one of their most popular dishes. The flautas are rolled, fried tortillas with filling, sometimes called a tacquito, although technically a flauta is supposed to be a bit larger than a tacquito. Nevertheless, they were crispy and the accompanying sauces were drizzled over the top. This is not only a great presentation but is tasty enough that no other condiments. The tinga chicken is shredded with a spicy (flavor not heat) tomato, onion, garlic, chipotle pepper sauce. Served with a side of rice, refried beans and shredded lettuce with sour cream. This is a go to dish. My wife ordered the taco salad, as usual, however, not as usual, this one was declared as the best taco salad she has ever been served. The chicken in the salad seemed to be the same tinga chicken as in the flautas - so that is a good reason for this flavor. The salsa bar has about 10 choices including on for children that is mild. We tried five - the regular red salsa, the mango pineapple chunky salsa, the verde tomatilla, the spicy creamy verde and the warm, slightly spicy bean dip that comes with the chips. All were great. If I was picky, the chips are the thicker, more sturdy type (which is fine) and not the thinner, crispy kind (often called "restaurant style." But each has its plusses, so no big deal. Be careful not to over-chip, the salsas are all fresh and very goodl. Our server was a pro - Jonathon. He has been with the restaurant since day 12 after opening and is their most seasoned of the wait staff. This showed in his knowledge of the dishes and attentiveness. Surprisingly, there was not a large crowd at lunch, but a decent crowd. This is now on our regular rotation for a lunch date.

Not your typical Mexican restaurant. You'll order when you walk in and will be assigned a table by…read morethe staff after that. Everyone is super friendly! Chips and salsa are not complimentary, but you do get these cute little wagon wheel looking chips called duros. They're like puffed air and remind me of pork rinds but not as crunchy and probably made from flour. The drinks are all delicious and strong. The margaritas are small but watch out, they'll sneak up on you! Lots of options. They specialize in tequila and mezcal with flights as an option. The bar is the spot to be; bartenders are friendly and they have small TVs to watch whatever sports are in season. The atmosphere is a little lacking in my opinion, but it's all about the food. Food is delicious and the portions are larger than expected. We got the chips and queso, Heidi's Flautas, soup of the day, and the Birria Egg Rolls. Too much food for 2 people so we took some home. Location is in a strip mall; parking is tight and can be a challenge. We won't let that stop us though! We will be back for those delicious Birria Egg Rolls and margaritas!

Great customer service. They had a large breakfast burrito order just before us (20+) and they let…read moreus know it would take a little longer than usual. The first thing that came out was the Mexican Street Corn Fries. Amazing. Highly recommend it. The picture that I saw on Yelp didn't do it justice so I took one that looks more appealing. The breakfast burrito is huge. I ate maybe 1/3 and had to take the rest to go. The Agua Frescas were fresh and fantastic. Best Horchata I have had in a long time. My wife has the Comal Toast and said it wasn't bad. It was all right. My wife is not extremely expressive when it comes to her food so sounds like it was good to me. Staff is friendly and it was a pretty relaxed atmosphere. Appears to have a full bar as well.

Our waiter was a superstar- in talking with him he shared he was from Ecuador and made suggestions for our lunch choice. We started with the beef and chicken empanadas- very good- and an order of maduros- ripe plantains. We should have stopped there because I was almost full at that point. For our entrees we chose shrimp mofongo- which we really see in small cities being that it is the national dish of Puerto Rico- and the paella for one. Both were wonderful. I would argue that the size of the paella should be be renamed as a lid of a trashcan serving. It was giant and we barely put a dent in it before asking for a to go box. I highly recommend this spot!

Gina is an excellent server. Always super nice and patient with our dog when we sit outside. We have not been in a few months because of work life balance and she knew exactly what we wanted and got our drinks in at 758 so we could still get happy our prices. Great food and even better service. read more
