I frequent Las Vegas, and such food on the strip gets to be a bit redundant. While visiting this past July, I decided to take fellow Yelper's advise and drive to Viva Mercados. I am so happy that I did. This has to be one of the best Mexican Food places in all of Las Vegas.
This restaurant is quite a ways off the strip, so you will definitely need a car to get here.
I went to dinner around 7 or 8 pm and was seated immediately.
The warm tortilla chips, beans and salsa are delicious. I have never dined at an establishment that offered beans for dipping, but it was the bomb! It's hard to stop eating it, but be for warned - do not fill yourself up on chips and dip because the entrees are huge. I ordered the carne asada burrito wet with red sauce - OMG! Ridiculous.
The service was really good, they are extremely attentive to your every need. I cannot wait to go back.
The prices - very reasonable
If you are in the mood for good Mexican food, I highly recommend Viva Mercados.
