" Viva La Vida was a very enjoyable experience. The ambiance is lively with a fun touch of color everywhere. I was impressed with the friendly service we received. I had the surf and turf burrito and was impressed by its presentation. It was tasty, but I thought the shrimp could be a bit fresher. All in all, I recommend this place for its atmosphere and service, and I'm looking forward to trying more dishes on my next trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" There's something special about Viva La Vida. It holds a perfect blend of a modern vibe and traditional Mexican cuisine. I tried the mole enchiladas, and they were rich and flavorful, a true testament to authentic cooking. The service was commendable; however, it did get a bit busy, and we had to wait for our drinks. But once they arrived, it was all worth it. I look forward to returning and exploring more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited last weekend for a friend's birthday, and we had a fabulous time. The place was buzzing with energy! Our server was fantastic—super attentive and recommended the Mango Margarita, which was a hit! I sampled a bit of everything: the nachos were cheesy and delightful, while the quesabirria tacos were bursting with flavor. The dessert was a flan that was incredibly rich and satisfying. I highly recommend Viva La Vida to anyone looking for a fun, tasty night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thoroughly impressed with my recent dining experience at Viva La Vida! From the ambiance to the food, everything was spot on. The fresh guacamole made table-side was a highlight, and the steak fajitas were sizzling and well-seasoned. The service we received was second to none; our waiter was personable and knowledgeable. As a lover of Mexican cuisine, this place did not disappoint. I can confidently say it's now one of my favorites in Pittsburgh! " (*Curated Review*)

" We came for a casual lunch, and the experience was wonderful! The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the energy of the place is what you want when dining out. I ordered the fish tacos, and they were superb! The flavors really stood out, but I thought the portion could have been more substantial. Overall, I'll definitely return; it was a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved this restaurant! The atmosphere was airy and colorful, it screams 'fun!' I had the quesorito, which was oozing with cheese—which I loved! The service was super fast, but I would have appreciated just a bit more attention. The only downside was the portion—it seemed a tad small for the price. Still, I’m coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Viva La Vida was enjoyable but not without its quirks. The ambiance is lively, and the staff is very attentive. However, I found the tacos somewhat lacking in flavor. They were decent but nothing outstanding. That said, the atmosphere certainly made up for it, and I wouldn't mind giving it another shot to try other items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)
