Cheers for Viva opening in Concord and closer to me :) I was a little surprised to see Viva come this far north since Concord is not particularly known for diverse dining options.
If you've been to a Viva Chicken before then you know the deal. Fast casual Peruvian restaurant known for its deliciously juicy rotisserie chicken and sauces. This location is located not too far from Concord Mills in the same shopping center as Lowes and Famous Toastery. There happens to be a Jason's Deli opening up next door soon so expect the already cramped parking lot to get even more busy.
I typically call in my order so that it's ready for pick up when I arrive. When the location was still freshly opened, the wait times got to be longer than I had time for so I just started calling in my orders. Service has always been friendly and I appreciate that they read back your order to ensure accuracy.
The sauce station is where all of the magic happens, truly. There's usually a group of people huddled around pumping their favorite sauce into tiny cups. Personally, I'm a yellow and red fan.
I usually rotate my favorites when ordering: the great wrap with avocado & jalapeno bacon, the naked Peruvian wrap, viva salad, or the quinoa stuffed avocados with chicken. I recently discovered that their chicken soup is so delicious and packed with all of the veggies and hearty pieces of chicken. It is sure to cure whatever may ail you.
