Best Mexican food in Adelaide! The meals are huge and sangria extremely moorish. Awesome atmosphere and friendly service. Thank you for a great night :)

Everything went exactly to plan, including getting a great table overlooking the sea. The meal was good, and the waiter who was on our table was exceptional - always there when we needed him, but in the background so that we couldn't see him. Well done guys.

It was a lovely evening the atmosphere and artwork is a lovely saw the sunset and food was very nice I thoroughly enjoyed my burrito del mar and the red sangria was delicious. I forgot my poncho maybe next time. The young ladies service was friendly efficient and no overly fussy. Excellent for me!

Viva Zapata is super tasty Mexican food. The Chilli con carne and the fajitas as well as the tostadas are always my go-to dishes. If you get the chilli ask for some extra corn chips and ask for some habanero sauce if you like it spicy. Only downside is we booked online and got a call that they were full and couldn't accommodate us at the time we requested.

Was great food and plenty of it - took us a while to choose from menu and waitress a little annoying coming back all the time to see if we were ready - surely if both of us were still looking a the menu it means we were still considering what to have ?

Excellent food and good service. While a bit inattentive at times, they offer a lovely night out. Kept leaving doors open on a cool evening that was obviously causing one of the people at the nearest table some difficulties and prompted my wife and I to leave to get warm.

Huge meals which was great. The food was lovely. Just not enough customer service, had to flag down staff as they passed by so we can order more drinks instead of having the one of the staff to check in on us at different times.

Such a warm welcoming restaurant. Authentic Mexican food and great beer selection. Thought the salsa was a bit watery and bland, same for guacamole. At first we we were slightly put off due to the 2 sauces, until we met the super star Jodie whose personality and sweet, funny incredible service turned it all around for us. The dishes we had were incredible we had the Pescado Veracruz and a Tostada beef fillet salad. Adore the place, the ambiance, scenery and will DEFINITELY be back. Thank you, Jodie! You are a gem!

Pleasant decor, food was quite good, service not good - after finishing the meal we sat for 45 minutes with dirty plates in front of us and they were not cleared until we piled them up together at the side of the table. No-one asked, at any time during the meal, if we would like more drinks.

Not up to their usual standards, both my partner and I are gf and df, we mentioned this numerous times, we then ordered gf meals and asked for no cheese, but ended up with flour tortillas and cheese spread over everything!

Staff friendly and beer/drink was fine, but the menu and food was disappointing, bland and without fresh ingredients. The food is also extremely overpriced. Unfortunately, I'd never go back to this restaurant.

I loved the atmosphere and decor here. It was perfect for an intimate dinner for two like we had but also had areas for bigger parties. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious.

Food and service excellent as always. The nachos and dips were delicious and the accompanying sangria and margaritas were authentically tasty. We were allowed to savour our meals and chat without being pressured to finish and leave. A wonderful night.
