Tried this place out for the first time. Will definitely be going back. Everything about it was absolutely the best. Food was delicious and the service was the best we have had in a long time. The appetizer was so good. My two grandsons age 12 and 16 ordered the red snapper plate and they devoured it. I had the shrimp tacos which were very delicious and filling. My daughter had fried shrimp and fries she enjoyed her meal as well. Wish I could my remember our waiter’s name to give him the credit, he was amazing.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Wait time was 40 minutes but it was worth every second. Had cauliflower steak, cauliflower tacos, margaritas, crispy brusell sprouts with no shrimp, shishito peppers. Although crispy Brusell sprouts came with shrimp hence we returned that. Rest all food was amazing. Never had such tasty tacos in my life. This was the best place we visited in South Padre. Will visit again for sure when back in island.

We love Viva’s!!! happy hour all day and Mondays are $5 margaritas and $5 off of loaded nachos. Wednesdays wine is half off. We will definitely be back. Great service staff super clean fantastic views.
