When returning to Ithaca post-graduation, Viva was the first spot my husband and I had to hit up. I feared that my memory of... their nachos were better than they would be upon returning but I was wrong! The Macho Nachos were, and still are, the bestnachos I have ever had. It is THE item to get here. Don't leave without ordering it. They also have vegan nachos, which Ihaven't tried, but they sounded delicious! I also got The Purist margarita and it was delicious. Our waiter recommended it assomething less sweet and it totally hit the mark. The service was absolutely fantastic. Our waiter was helpful in guiding ourchoices, super friendly, and attentive to checking in on us. Viva is my favorite restaurant in Ithaca and I cannot recommendthose nachos enough! Read more
Where do I begin.... They actually give you the same amount of toppings for your nachos, along with plenty of cheese. The... burritos will fill u up for an amazing price of about 9 bucks. Also, the tacos are a great side dish. 10/10. Read more

Not many outdoors dining options in the area so we went to this place, there was a wait but nothing too long ? considering that... it was raining and not a lot of tables. The food was average and very limited menu at the time. Service was great, decentportion sizes and decent prices. Staff was very friendly. Read more
This place offers great service at reasonable prices. The reason why I don't give it 5 stars it's because it is not authentic... Mexican food, it's highly americanized. However, it has a great sangria. Read more
