Viva Taqueria

Like most of Ithaca, Viva has quite a few vegan/veg options yet doesn't have to sacrifice good taste just to achieve it. I always get the taqueria super burrito , which is enormous + filling + amazing.

If you like a Spanish food , and your in ithaca this is the Place to be! It's no bodega , like as if you were in the City ..But they are on point! Great affordable food, And Margaritas if u into that:)????

I've never had a bad experience here; their portions are substantial and delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is vibrant yet comfortable .

I really like the food here. Its not 100% authentic Mexican, but for our area, its as good as it gets. I have always had great service here. Drinks are pricey , but good.

Stopped here with my Wrestling Team after the Ithaca Tournament, I was thoroughly impressed with this place! We'll definitely be back soon (We're headed to Cornell later this month). Thanks!!!

Apps tend to arrive at the same time here, which is a pain. It has happened to us multiple times. Mole is delicious, which is the reason we come back.

Best burritos I've had in my life! The staff are very nice and they have lots of vegan/vegetarian options

Try the sangria ... A good deal if you share a carafe with friends!

Awesome chicken fajitas . Get a lot of food. Stellar guacamole & amazing fresh lemonade only $1.50

Amazing food. Extremely gluten-free and vegan-friendly. Kid-friendly too. Worth the wait.

Try the chicken mole enchilada . It's delicious! The (slightly) pickled veggies were not so good. They should skip it and add more beans and rice .

Awesome food, great service! For people with celiac's/on a gluten-free diet: The menu is almost completely gluten-free. The wait staff is very accommodating and helpful if you have questions.

Best place for a meal under 10 bucks, also a great staff , and I am not just saying that cause I work here. Ask about our vegan or gluten free options !

Lots of vegetarian and vegan options . The vegan nachos are fantastic. Even meat eaters devour them and rave.

My 12 year old son loved the chicken quesquedilla. House salad is great too!

Get on the chipotle tomatillo salsa bus and pair a chip and dip with a mezcal margarita .

Corn with Parmesan was very delicious. However, everything else was good as well .

My favorites are the Super Nachos (or the Macho Nachos if you feel like beefing it up) and Steak Fajitas .

Love the mole dishes. I've also enjoyed their quesadillas

Great food! House margarita was not great, but enjoyed the pomagrita!

Calabacitas! I'm not a vegetarian but actually like this burrito more than the meat options

share the nachos - worth it!

Super nachos are absolutely delicious. Burritos are bland. You might want to add hot sauces .

Fantastic healthy mexican food . Chicken tacos are outstanding. I had a spicy pickled carrot which was good, but very spicy . Great food.

Very good vegan options and the margaritas really hit the spot!!

Loved the chicken mole enchiladas !! Also great chips and salsa . Nice atmosphere. No complaints from me! :)

Great food. Awesome happy hour drink specials

Anything with beef is amazing. It's so tender.

The quesadillas are great but only get one, they're pretty filling!

One of my favorite Mexican restarts in the U.S. FANTASTIC FOOD

Super fresh food / great staff . Healthy Healthy Jack !

Great place to watch Ithaca wander by with a margarita in your hand :)

Chicken mole burrito is fantastic

My personal favorite on the commons.

If you love Mexican you will love Viva.

It's tex-mex, not real mexican , but quite good. Lots of food for cheap .

Never had bad food here! Just smile and leave a tip, as with any restaurant ;-)

Be sure to try the queso fondito if u like cheese

The mole sauce is awesome!

Good margaritas ! Reasonably priced.

Chicken taco salad with lime vinaigrette - ever time!

Quick to go or a nice mix of local 'Mexican'

Margaritas , and food!

Margaritas are terrific!

Good margaritas .
