Reviews

Decent Mexican with indoor and outdoor seating in the main part of Williamstown.  Plenty of vegetarian options here. The tofu taco was nice and had lots of tofu in it. I also had the nachos standard size with frijoles, which is quite a large serving & super-cheesy. The meals taste pretty standard, but are still nice.

I wouldn't normally bother to post a review - but I feel obliged to. This was an exceedingly bad dinner.  The food was bland, mushy and devoid of any texture. The appearance of the food was ok but it had a pretty unappetizing colour to it.  We started with chorizo entre, initially thinking it was pretty average but bloody hell did it go downhill fast. We tried most of the entrées, all of them bland, some of them burned and inedible.  Nachos were OK. At best - though frankly I could do better with the ingredients at home in the microwave - which is seemingly how they were done here. The grey coloured Guacamole was obviously not fresh.  The main was no better either, however to be fair it did look better save for the lump of discoloured stale guacamole  Not all that cheap either - probably worst $100 we've ever spent. All these 5 star reviews are a touch suspicious too...

Don't bother with this place I had the Mexican grill i was looking forward to my meal even taken a picture it looked so good that is where it stopped. There was a very thin small unchewable rubbery steak, 4 small chicken wings cut in half a chorizo sausage which tasted like it needed more cooking a salad and wedges. The best thing on the plate was the wedges and salad. The other items are still sitting heavy in my stomach. The food was not worth the price. Atmosphere was okay, you go to a restaurant for the food you cannot eat atmosphere. I truly do not recommend this place try somewhere else so you are not disappointed. Gave it 2 stars for the wedges and salad.

To some this up. Save your money. Go to woolys buy some doritos, salsa and some cheese and you will have better mexican in five minutes.  Generally the dishes from here can sustain hunger but as most mexican cuisine its packed with beans and rice.  Overall flavour was nothing special it was hard to distinguish the change of palette due to the constant flavour of canned tomatoes.  I'm a simple person when it comes to food and as far as mexican restaurants it really didn't meet expectations and seems to rely on a gimmicky atmosphere.  When you microwave cheese it really comes with a obscure texture. As it is a mexican restaurant I was really put off by this.  Massive lack of spice or heat flavour  If you specialize in one cuisine you should definetly be above the standard but Viva Zapatas does not make the cut.  Staff are friendly and are really the only reason this made it to two stars.

The food we ordered was very very bland and very very oily!!  No taste to the chicken taco and the fish taco was basically a Birds Eye battered fish piece with chopped up salad that may have been left over from the day before. For a Mexican restaurant, you wont find Salsa, Guacamole or Sour cream with tacos??  Good Luck

Very disappointing. Wait staff were very friendly but the food was extremely poor. Ordered the burrito and received a molten hot wet mess containing pre cooked chicken and cheese sauce burnt into the plate. Essentially spent $90 for a plate of nachos. Not coming back. Waste of a night.

My food was fine however my friend, who has celiac disease and cannot eat gluten - after confirming with the waitress that the tacos did not have gluten, that they were corn and not flour, they then failed to mention that fish was crumbed and after eating some - we had to call them over. The weren't even going to remove the dish from the bill and when they did they simply removed one taco that she couldn't eat - not to mention the medical issues my friend then had suffer & look after. I just don't think the situation was handled well or professionally.

honestly never left a review before but after this meal i feel as if i have contracted every form of ligma possible. the service was awful as well, our party entered the restaurant and said we had reserved a table for five, they were confused and asked if we wanted a table for two, there were four of us present. the waiters could not keep track of our meal and almost gave us the wrong meal like 3 times. when the meal arrived i knew my digestive system would be upset at me later this evening. my tofu was barely warm and definitely not cooked, it seemed like they chucked it in the microwave for 30 seconds. none of us finished our meal and were left with a sour taste in our mouth. we definitely won’t be returning  -10/10

I think the restaurant has changed hands as the food has gone down hill like a Jamaican bob sled team. The single very busy staff member did an amazing job keeping up with the influx of people that wandered in off the street. He took orders, served drinks and food, bused every table as well as taking payment. Unfortunately the food was rather average. The table of 10 next to us left before we got our drinks leaving most of the meals behind. I can now see why. My wife's tacos were cold and tasteless as was my combination meal. The rice was under spiced and everything needed salt. I'm very disappointed as this was our favorite destination in Williamstown. I shall not be back unless I hear some better reviews. I beg you Viva pick up your game as you have a rare opportunity as there are not many Mexican restaurants in the area.

I have been there on Wednesday. Worst food ever. The meat in the fajitas were hard. The chicken wings felt like it was cooked ages ago. Had some weird smell in it. And the grilled chicken tacos were even worse. The chicken was hard and dry. Not good experience at all. Not coming back ever again. This place really needs new management.
