text: Cinco de Mayo you have to eat or do something Mexican on this day The BF and I headed to Viva El Taco to satisfy this Mexican craving nnI would say Viva El Taco is similar to the Robertos Taco Shop chain The pictures and menu on the wall are mirror imagesnnI went with the Combination Plate Beef Burrito Cheese Enchilada for However I substituted the Cheese Enchilada for a Pork Tamale It also came with rice and beans The rice was kind of dry and remain untouched but the refried beans were pretty good with melted cheese My beef burrito had chunks of tender beef oozing out along with peppers and the BF would not stop eating my order The tamale was on the dry end though and it is covered with cheese and sauce to make up for it I did not bother finishing the tamalennThe BF had three Al Pastor tacos at each He thought they were pretty loaded compared to what he gets from Robertos Taco ShopnnThe self service salad bar had fresh cucumbers and radishes to neutralize the heat from the chipotle sauce green hot sauce jalapeno peppers carrots and onions and fresh green onionsnnThe gigantic horchata was pretty good too and is a must with all Mexican food nnOverall Viva El Taco is another chain among the chains of Mexican food in Las Vegas It is definitely better and more authentic than a Del Taco or Taco Bell any day It is casual enough for a quick bite as wellnnSidenote They have coupons offering bean burritos three rolled tacos beef tacos and chicken tacos
