La Viva - The Energy Corridor, Houston

Food is always good, nice Tex-Mex flavor and dishes. Only down is that chips are served no end, this gets you sometimes full before you get what you ordered and having to ask for to go boxes or waste some food.Service is always nice and fast. Servers are always on top of what you need, and that's appreciate it.Atmosphere is really crowded, that makes the place noisy and conversations need to get loud, I don't see the place for a romantic date. Also, because the amount of people on peak hours makes the place tight and not enjoyable if you are sitted on a table due the traffic of customers and servers.

Had this place rated 5 stars for a year and we went almost weekly in 2023. My first time back in 2024 and things are different and not in a good way. The frozen margaritas taste very different, almost too sweet like candy. They also switched out Grand Marnier for Gran Gala in the Meltdown. The ribeye was really good, but the fajita chicken was much drier than usual. The salsa tasted burnt and the queso was not hot and hardened before we could really enjoy it. For a family of four our meal was $155 not including tip. Hoping it is a fluke bc it was not worth that kind of money. It definitely felt like they are cutting corners now and it shows.

This is the Best I ever had! My boyfriend and I loved everything about it. The atmosphere was awesome, the place was clean, the drinks and food was scrumptious! My boyfriend even told me to slow down as I was eating, cuz it looked like I hadn't eaten in days. Ethan gave excellent customer service. Thank u! Will definitely come back, and recommend to family n friends. Thanks again for the awesome experience!Barbie n Larry

This place never seems to disappoint. The food is always hot and good. I enjoyed it.

It was a nice atmosphere...but I wasn 't a fan of the salsa. I did like the fajitas (combination) but I 've honestly had better. The thing I absolutely didn 't like was the fact they tried to get me on the bill with some outlandish food charge...on top of a pre-tip charge. Straight b.s. will not be going back there again.
