viva tequila

man that's good stuff!!. me and my parents go here all the time and they know us! best local mexican food joint and great service and food!

flavorful and authentic. i'm hispanic, grew up in southern california, and my family took annual trips to mexico. that being said, viva tequila has the best tasting tacos i've had in the cincinnati area. their carnitas tacos are delicious and everything is very affordable. for those that are wondering, this restaurant is linked with taqueria mercado, a very highly rated mexican restaurant in fairfield. don't expect high frills at either place...just good food and an authentic atmosphere. i love eating here and hearing all of the spanish spoken by the staff as well as the customers!

my first time here,  friendly,  got a table outside on a gorgeous day, like all mexican or tex mex restaurants, always order  "taco's" the lunch special was two beef tacos with re fried beans and rice, ordered a "pacifico" to wash it down.

the salsa was excellent, tacos also, but the beans and rice were not...

will be back again  to give it another try.

not even busy on saturday night, yet the very worst service of my life, the waitress had no clue of what was what on the menu, and then we had to sit and wait for more chips and salsa forever .. waitress did not even acknowledge us once as she walked past us over and over again.

once we received the food we sat for about 10 minutes waiting for silverware that should of been on the table in the first place.

so disappointed that i tried to cancel the desert that my daughter ordered, and the worthless waitress simply said "sorry it's already in the computer, i can't change it". skip this hole and go to taco bell across the street for your mexican food fix.

for everything i complained about here i had to flag down bus boys to resolve because the waitress was too busy hiding/dodging work.

food was not even exciting, if it were we could of overlooked the incompetent waitress

seriously the very worst restaurant experience of my life. zero tip for this waitress, and too bad, i tip very well!

thumbs down. seems another owner/manager has taken over the viva tequila again. not such a good restaurant any more. our take out meals always have something missing. the portions are now smaller. and when your dinner comes only with beans, don't try to ask for half rice and half beans. this is not allowed..... even though a side order of rice or beans has the same price. and the margaritas are sweet and green, but no taste of any tequila.

exceptional!!!! great mexican food! favorite restaurant. i've been going here for a few years now and it is by far and away my favorite restaurant! the food is exceptional. the san pedro is my favorite but i have never had anything that was less that great. all of their chicken meals are wonderful as are the burritos, tacos and fajitas. i love their cheese dip; one the best i have had. great food! i can't say enough about it!
large, clean dinning room. nice outdoor patio. the owner is a great guy and the staff is very friendly. a great place to eat, highly, highly recommended.

screaming babies and little kids running around the bar during dinner. nothing was done.........ruined our saturday night dinner with friends. the restaurant was half empty and they sat a family of six right next to us in the bar with a tiny baby screaming and crying. we asked them why they would do that and got blank stares and there's nothing they can do. not going back.

i was very impressed by the food and speedy service at viva tequila. the menu is very extensive, so there should be something for everyone, and i look forward to trying other dishes in the future.

great food, great service. the new owners have really worked hard and it shows. it is very clean and the ambience has really improved. the food is fresh and authentic with lots of distinctive flavor between dishes. our service was great and everyone was very friendly to our kids. definitely are new "go to" mexican restaurant in the lebanon/mason area.

excellent! we lived in arizona before moving to ohio and i can honestly say that this place reminds me of home. muy delicioso!

went with my parents, they got drunk on cadillac gold margaritas, frozen. huge portions at reasonable prices. dining room was full but management wouldn't open the back dining room.

the garlic shrimp and rice was very good. so was the tilapia.

i did not like it.... if you like pretend mexican food then this place is for you.

middle of the road. we had dinner tonight at viva tequila. cadillac margarita much better than the usual imitation lemon/lime mix served in ohio mexican restaurants. salsa not bad - canned tomatoes improved with onions and cilantro. i had the chicken mole - guac salad was really cheap (very blended, no fresh guac pieces or flavor). ever since i left the restaurant i have felt bloated for the last 2 hours, not sure what's causing that, since i'm pretty food adventurous (and had no beans)...i've had better mexican food in central ohio.

love. i love viva tequilla! it is one of my favorite restarants and no other mexican joint can compare! price is very reasonable and is always my number one choice! it is just so yummy you have to go there yourself to try. the salsa and cheese dip are to die for! :)
