VIVA Mexican Restaurant 4531 86th Street, Urbandale, IA 50322

"By far my favorite Mexican restaurant in Iowa. Prices are great, they still give you chips and salsa free, dishes are consistent across restaurants. And their burrito verde is the best thing I've ever eaten"

"Pretty slow service, but very good food and margaritas. So if you aren't in a hurry, definitely worth it! Thought it would be more happening on Cinco de mayo but still enjoyed our meals- the potato enchiladas and chicken enchiladas were both great. And a strong house margarita is a bonus :P"

"Really beautiful inside and plenty of seating! It feels like you just walked into a different place. There’s a decent amount of parking spaces, so you don’t have to worry about parking. I came in to place to go order and it took roughly about 10mins from placing the order till getting my order! It was fast and they are super friendly ! The foods are delicious. They even let me customize my order that isn’t on the menu (California burrito with al pastor meat) and it was delicious !! During this pandemic, they tried to serve tables in about 6 feet away from each other and there seems to be few sensor hand sanitizer around too. They have a bar section and it’s own private entires to its bar. The lunch specials are Monday to Friday at 11am to 1.30pm."

"Absolutely Fantastic Food! Welcoming atmosphere and very friendly staff. The complimentary fresh tortilla chips and salsa and bean dip is perfect for an appetizer and I love the huge menu choices. Plates come quickly and are quite filling! Perfect for groups or couples. If you're looking for comfortable great food and wanting to leave full and happy...this is the place for you!"

"Had to hit labcorp and was fasting so needed to find some good lunch. Picked this spot from the pictures of the food and it was a excellent decision. The level of quality and authenticity they put in there decor and food is amazing. Food is delicious and filling, staff is well versed in the art of serving. Food came out faster than a drive thru and was fresh and had a beautiful visual appeal. You can’t go wrong with eating here. I will definitely have to come back again while I’m in Iowa working. Worth the two hour drive. I definitely recommend this restaurant."
