It was fine. The food was pretty mediocre. Service was fine and ambiance was what I expected. Decor was fun. I wouldn't object to going again but wouldn't choose it on my own.

Celebrated Galentine’s with a few of my friends. Had the queso, loaded fries, and guacamole to share as appetizers. All great in flavor! Tried the Marioposa burrito and it was fantastic! Had the Cupid’s arrow valentine drink special and it was fantastic! Viva La Vida knows how to celebrate! Definitely a fun upbeat Mexican restaurant!
