The restaurant has moved to a free standing building located on the SW corner of Spring Mountain and Rainbow. Viva Mercado's was named one of Chile Pepper magazine's "30 Best Zesty Restaurants," as well as earning a five-star rating from the International Restaurant and Hospitality Bureau. Named "Best Neighborhood Restaurant," by Bon Appetite Magazine. Rated "Excellent" by Mobile & AAA Travel Guides. And of course...Citysearch's favorite.
Our new location has ample dining and parking space. It is decorated with a warm, rustic Hacienda feel with 2 banquet rooms with booths and tables illuminated by soft lighting. The bar area provides 10 stools and 4 tables to enjoy your favorite beverage or play video poker.
Enjoy!

In Short
Although sandwiched between a laundromat and a pet store on the city's west end, the original Viva Mercado's is frequented by regulars who indulge in top-shelf Mexican food in a casual environment. The multipage menu showcases exquisite seafood dishes, lesser-known traditional offerings, and a variety of vegetarian choices. The Peasant Tacos are deceptively hot, the fajitas (chicken, steak, or veggie) fabulously fresh and the chile relleno burrito a tasty combination of two Mexican staples.

this place was recommended to me by my co-worker, my hubby and I went there last night and WE LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE!!! the parking space looked packed but we were seated right away within 5 mins, the place is big inside, every table has a little candle which made it romantic but the place is loud with festive music and place has great decor and set up makes u feel that the place is authentic mexican..chips, salsa and refried beans were offered and it's the best especially their house salsa!! our server is very friendly, salsa and refried beans were refilled quickly yes we asked for a refill that's how good it was, my hubby ordered the carne asada plate and he loved it too, i ordered the pollo asado quesadilla and it was the BOMB!! server very attentive and gave us refills on our drinks before it's even halfway done etc.. this is our new fave Mexican resto :) DEFINITELY A 5 STAR RESTO

My husband and I tried this place at the request of Mr. Mercado's son. We were heading to Vegas for our honeymoon from upstate NY(Rochester) and a friend told us that when we got to Vegas to go to his Dad's restaurant, which we did. I had the best chicken taco's ever and my husband loved the chili rellano. Also try the mexican lemonade, you won't be disappointed. Needless to say that was 3 years ago and we are still looking for a place in upstate NY that can compare to VIva Mercado's and we just can't seem to find one. If you are heading to Vegas and love mexican there is no place better than VIVA MERCADO'S!
