I found this place by looking on Google maps. I'm big on eating good food. Picked this place for my family and I to enjoy time together and they did NOT disappoint! The food and drinks were good! My brother ordered us some margaritas and I must say, I haven't had one that good and strong in a while!😵‍💫😂 Our waiter was ... awesome and made sure we all were satisfied. All in all, everyone enjoyed themselves and left full! Will definitely be returning.👍🏾 Read More

My husband and I recently visited for dinner. We had the la viva shrimp and the queso for appetizers. I got the Tio Chitos plate with 1 seafood enchilada and 1 Nick's classic enchilada. My husband had the Nick's classic enchiladas. I also had a watermelon margarita. Everything was delicious. Our server Alyssa was ... awesome. Very attentive, and our order was perfect. We have been here 3 times so far, and everything is always great. Read More

We’ve been here several times, and it is always wonderful! The food is good and well-prices. We usually order to-go, and the bartenders are always very friendly.

My sister and I had an amazing dining experience at La Viva Oak Forest location! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality. Our server, Luis, was absolutely friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He offered great recommendations and made sure we had everything we ... needed throughout the meal. La Vida Tex Mex has definitely earned a spot on my list of favorite restaurants. If you go, ask for Luis. He’ll make sure your experience is great! Read More

Wow, service was warm and inviting. Food was really amazing, very vibrant and full of flavor. Chips and salsa (served warm) were good and refilled quickly as needed. Had the Chicken Chipotle Enchiladas and what a solid choice. Such a huge improvement from the previous restaurant that occupied this location. Will be ... back soon! 👍 Read More

This is a new restaurant in my area. Immediately upon being seated, I was greeted by my server. I received my drink and appetizer within 5 minutes of ordering. The white queso is excellent. I'm looking forward to trying more from the menu. My food just arrived and it all looks yum-azing!

Very welcoming staff and great follow up. I passed up Pappasitos, El Tiempo, and 4 more restaurants to get back to La Viva. Great food, service, and atmosphere.

The food is delicious and the drinks are to not go back to work. (lol) Sebastian is so sweet and attentive. Go check them out 43rd/Ella
