Believe the hype. To describe this food as delicious would be an understatement. Viva was highly recommended by all of my coworkers. Before this visit, I tried to eat at this place twice and struck out miserably. I was determined to try this place ASAP!
I'm that person who looks at the restaurant menu beforehand so I have an idea of what to order. I thought I was ready but I wasn't...I wanted to order everything! I settled on the arroz chaufa with chicken. Yummmm! The serving was enough for leftovers the next day. I added cilantro on top of my rice to add a little extra kick :). My only complaint is the scarce amount of chicken sprinkled throughout the rice. I ordered sweet plantains on the side; these were perfect! To drink, I chose the herbal lemonade, a heavenly mixture of fresh herbs and lemonade chilled and sweetened to perfection! The overall experience was great. The staff were very friendly and patient. I have a feeling that Viva will definitely become one of my go to restaurants!
