" Having lived in California for years, I know Mexican food, and Viva Tequis certainly holds its own! The menu boasts a wide range of authentic dishes that made it hard to choose. I went for the birria tacos and was impressed with how tender the beef was. The atmosphere was casual but vibrant, perfect for family gatherings or dinner with friends. The service was friendly but quite busy, which led to some longer wait times for drinks. Overall, an enjoyable experience and I’d certainly come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an amazing dinner at Viva Tequis! The atmosphere was buzzing with energy, and the food came out quickly. Each taco was delicious, but I particularly enjoyed the lengua taco. It was seasoned to perfection! The salsa bar is also worth checking out, as it has a great selection. I appreciated the friendly service, and overall it was a memorable dining experience. I’ll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon Viva Tequis while exploring downtown Gastonia and what a delightful surprise it was! The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, perfect for enjoying genuine Mexican flavors. We tried various tacos and they were bursting with flavor – the carnitas was definitely a highlight. The staff was amiable, giving us recommendations and checking in. The only downside was the noise level, but it was part of the vibrant atmosphere. We’ll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Viva Tequis quickly became one of our go-to spots for authentic Mexican food after we discovered it few months ago. Every time we visit, the tacos never fail to impress! Always fresh and flavorful, it’s refreshing to find such authenticity in the south. The service is generally quick, and the ambiance is cozy; perfect for date night or casual dining. On my last visit, I loved the agua de jamaica; a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" The menu at Viva Tequis is definitely extensive, and I appreciate that they cater to various tastes. I chose the vegetarian platter, which was quite tasty, though my friend’s carne asada tacos stole the show! The portions could be a tad bigger considering the price, but everything tasted fresh. The servers were polite and attentive throughout our meal. Would recommend but maybe wouldn’t be a first choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Viva Tequis certainly lives up to its reputation! The flavors are delightful, and the staff is consistently friendly. I enjoyed the shrimp tacos very much – they were fresh and zesty! The guacamole was fresh and perfect for sharing. My only complaint would be the seating arrangement, as it can feel a bit cramped during busy hours. Overall, I think it’s definitely worth checking out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this place as I had heard great things, but my experience was just okay. The tacos were made with packaged tortillas, which took away from the authentic experience for me. Service was caring and friendly but a bit slow. The use of flavor was there, but it could’ve been better balanced out. I may return to give them another shot but will approach with lowered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
