Viva Taco

This place is really unexpectedly great. Large portions of tasty, very freshly-made Mexican and Tex-Mex fare, lots of options for vegetarians (and some for vegans!), and very friendly people running the place. Absolutely recommended for a quick meal, or for take-out, which I think most folks opt for, but they miss the great selection of soccer games. (Yes, the place is small but it's lovely to sit for a quick meal too!)

For an early weekday dinner, I stopped by Viva Taco. It’s easy to miss in an area replete with Latin American restaurants, though its location on a small intersection and its brightly painted exterior helped it stand out. The establishment itself doesn’t have much space—just a small counter with bar seating by the window that fits about three people, and a single table that seats maybe six. It’s definitely more of a take-out spot. I had the place to myself, so I ordered a chicharrón burrito ($13) and fried yuca ($7). I didn’t expect to finish it all. The burrito came out in less than five minutes. The rice was well-salted and flavorful, the plantains added a surprising sweetness, and the chicharrones were satisfyingly crispy. The pico de gallo tasted extra fresh, and the tomato salsa had

Cute little spot on the corner in JP friendly service! Great food. I had the quesadilla today. Freshly made pico de gallo sauce had a little heat the chiccarones were excellent! I will definitely go back to try the burritos and tacos.

Ordered the crispy tacos and they were terrible. Burnt and overly loaded with lettuce, tomato, crema and fresco to disguise how burnt they were.

Ok so it's a nice small place, pupusa was great in flavor and cooked crispy on the outside just a little too thin, I had the al pastor tacos they were crispy, double tortilla, plenty of meat but no flavor. Horchata was just the way I like it and we also had a shrimp burrito we liked it but way too many veggies it over-powered the shrimp, maybe more shrimp less veggies or maybe no veggies. Besides that I have not tried anything else.
