Amazing atmosphere for fun, good music lots of people come here to have a nice meal or relax. Famous for margaritas but their quesadillas are awesome too. Grilled chicken sandwiches and burgers are a good bar / pub meal too. Fun all around. Get chips and guacamole they don’t skimp! Good quality food and fun atmosphere all around.
7.1.23 what a fun place! We loved the decor, the casual atmosphere, the good service and the great food. Our 1st visit and we enjoyed sitting back, people watching, while munching on great Mexican food and margaritas.
The lettuce wrap street tacos were delicious! Corn was good too - maybe a bit too much mayo tho. Salsa that came with the free chips was 👌
This place is Soo good. The food we got was amazing and the margaritas were delicious. I had the quesafijita with quac and red onions. The venue was awesome and I will definitely say the music was totally on point. The only blemish on the meal was the service. The server was friendly but took us quite some time to get our order in and get our food.
still as good as ever, pricy but worth it, especially when you know they're raising the price mostly to stay afloat. Worth it at probably 1.2x the price. tip more to make up the difference. you'll need to destroy town property values to find a better deal in Westport for a similar level of craft, and god knows the town needs it. Pay the 20$. buy the fajitas. if you can't eat gluten they'll sub in corn tortilla no problem. Get the fajitas. Great outdoor seating. Giant open-top patio with seating where your can eavesdrop easily but still have plenty of elbow room. Heat lamps, table umbrellas. They've been doing this for like fifty years now, they know what's up. cyclists: no bike parking, all the street signs are wobbly because the town doesn't believe in paying for things like proper sign bedding. if the restaurant to the left still has outdoor seating, there are concrete barriers you can run a chain through and then U lock to it. slim pickings otherwise. You might be able to find somewhere to lock over where bridge market used to be, the railings near the bridge. final say: casual restaurant-dining you could wear a suit to if you just came from the train station, but I'll definitely give you the side eye. Have seen at least one municipal meeting happen here in the past ten years. Town staple, regional stop, a thing someone I know remembered and came back to after being gone for ten years. you can get more for the price in one of the nearby cities, but you can't really get better until maybe that venezuelan place in norwalk on the stamford side with a similar vibe about really caring about their food. the fajita chicken is just as confusingly moist and tender as it was like fifteen years ago i promise it's worth the extra 5$
Nice friendly laid back place. Need more people like the staff here. Loved it. Worth stopping after a long drive .
I never leave reviews but this was so bad, I felt the need to echo what so many others have said here. Came here for an early Mother’s Day dinner as it was one of mine and my wife’s favorites many (10+) years ago, and I thought it would be nice to bring our kids there. The place wasn’t that busy, yet it took an inordinately long time to get our drinks, and then guacamole which never showed up, followed by our meals which took a long time also. Our meals were just ok, not the Viva’s that we remembered. My son (6) got a cheeseburger, which admittedly looked delicious, only to find out that we were charged 18.75 for an adult meal. When we questioned this, our waiter was incredibly rude and said “well that’s what you ordered.” Why the heck would I order an adult meal for a 6 year old? And then he acted like he was bending over backwards to correct his error. Mind you, this was after asking twice for our check, only to go in to ask a third time to be told “oh yeah, he’s coming.” Folks, the terrible reviews are spot on. Sad because this was truly one of our favorites back in the day.
Food was good, Margherita's were very good, strong, Atmosphere was disappointing, no music, should be festive.
