Wow! Air conditioned dog-friendly patio and excellent vegan Tex-Mex with outstanding customer service. Had the nachos and enchiladas. Staff even brought a water bowl for the pups. Love it! Highly recommend.
The best! This time we tried their kombucha. It is bottled like wine! The best I have ever tasted. The spinach/kale enchiladas and the beet salad were so tasty. I love the subtle hints of jalapeno without having my tongue being roasted! Jo
I have gone to this restaurant a few times now and greatly enjoy they have all the food gluten free. Love this place, greatly enjoy the staff and to me price, food, and location is great.
I visited for the first time on 9/8/17. The staff was super friendly and when I told them it was my first time there, they offered recommendations, which I accepted, and decided on. I had the Rosalie Special, which changes, but on the day I went it was enchiladas verde with beans, Spanish rice, and salad with avocado ranch dressing. Oh my gosh! How awesome that they recommended the special and it happened to be exactly what I wanted! And it tasted amazing! I also got a shredded beet salad on the side. I’m not a big fan of beets but I’ll try almost anything and this was so good! The pricing was what I would’ve paid at a non-vegan restaurant for the same plate. I ordered to go and it was ready quick! I love that the entire menu is 100% vegan and gluten free! Will surely be back and bring people with me!
This place has come under new ownership and I'm so glad! Thank you to Mr Garza for the amazing concept and beginnings, and thank you to the new owners (I'll know you soon)! The portions were large, prices very fair, and tastes were impeccably delectable!!! Will definitely be back and I highly recommend to everyone, carnivores too!
Fantastic!! I had the BBQ Tacos and they were amazing! It is rare to find a restaurant that is all gluten free and vegan - I am so thankful for the variety and ease of ordering and of course the wonderful food. Thank you all!
Amazing food, kind attentive staff, good prices. Worth the drive wherever you are in San Antonio.
We had a great experience! The food was amazing. I had the fried avocado tacos and they were excellent! My husband had the green chili enchiladas-so delicious and tasty! Yumm! The server was very friendly and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend it!
The green enchiladas are my favorite� the buffalo wings were also amazing! The customer service was great! I highly recommend this place.
Best food I've eaten in forever !!!! I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends. I'm already planning a date to go back�
Absolutely wonderful experience!! The food was delicious....especially the queso dip!! In addition, the employees were incredibly kind and provided great service! 5 stars!
The food is amazing! I had green enchiladas today that were out of this world!!# The service has improved, the management has made strides to improve the customer experience. Good prices and great vegan food! This is one our favorite spots in SA.

I loved the atmosphere, the food was delicious and the costumer service was excellent, some real Texas hospitality! Worth the drive!!!! Great price and Beautiful art too!
Any negative ideas you have about vegetarian Mexican food, throw them out. This place will make you question if it's really vegetarian! Beautiful atmosphere, super helpful and patient hosts, but out of this world food. I've had soup, enchiladas, tacos, nachos and they've all been better than anything I've had at a "normal" Mexican restaurant. Overall, this place is something not to cross off just because you're scared or biased by the vegetables instead of meat. Let your fears go, order the bbq tacos, try the salsa and I guarantee you won't leave with an empty stomach.
Great presentation and menu options. We had trouble deciding which items to order. They had unique nachos that were very tasty. Bring cash, they charge extra for credit cards. Park and enter in the back.
The food and atmosphere is amazing! sitting outside on a nice day eating at viva is my fav thing to do! Hugo does everything to make someone feel comfortable and he goes above and beyond to make the experience so much better. Thank you Hugo! :-))

Ok, folks, I fell down on the job and forgot to take photos of the food. But I included photos of the place itself.
I have to say that I have driven by this place a lot and didn't stop. It's kind of hard to see from the street. Driving in was like entering a secret world. A friend of mine has altered her diet due to diabetes. So, we went for lunch. We were amazed and are going back. You will have to wait 20 to 30 minutes for your food, BUT it is FRESHLY PREPARED and worth the wait. The patio is pleasant, and the restaurant is artfully done.
The mushroom chicharon street tacos are sliced, lightly battered, and fried. The tacos are topped w cabbage, carrot, and cilantro slaw and tasty sauce. The plate included arroz (mexican rice), small salad, and charro beans (so tasty). My friend had a cup of tortilla soup and "la pinata," which is a kale salad topped w stuffed avocado w sundried tomatoes and dressing. Also, I had watermelon agua fresca. We thoroughly enjoyed our laid-back lunch and left pleasantly full. Make this a regular stop for lunch or dinner. You will love it.
This place is delicious! And they are so kind. And the portions are huge, while the price is reasonable. If we lived here we’d be coming back again and again.
Hard to choose what to order with all the great looking options. Went with the special- enchiladas de calabacita. It was delicious and the presentation was nice too. Charro beans were really good. Staff was great. Will definitely be back!
I highly recommend this place! I am not a vegan or vegetarian and really enjoyed both the ambiance and more importantly, the food. I had the enchiladas verdes and they were excellent! The portions are huge and the prices are very reasonable given everything is hand made and fresh to order. The decor here is very warm and inviting. The staff is very friendly. I will definitely be recommending Viva Vegeria to all my friends, family, and anyone who will listen.
Update: it's been 7 years since my initial review and it still holds completely true today. Check them out, you won't regret it.
This place is a hidden gem ! We live about 15 miles away but decided to take the drive and check it out. It was worth it!! Food is outstanding and delicious. There were 3 of us and we had a half order of nachos for appetizer. We had enough left to take home. They always have a daily special. We also had chicken flautas. They were amazing. The food is not salty like most Mexican restaurants. Beans and rice were my favorite. The food has tremendous flavor. We will go back. Don’t let the drive or neighborhood keep you from trying them out.
My favorite place for vegan Mexican food in San Antonio ! The authenticity of Mexican meets vegan is to die for! Everyone that works there are pleasant happy and show they love their work place. Highly recommended to stop an grab a bite. Visit these humble people!
Amazing food and service! Our waiter was incredibly helpful and very genuine with this efforts. Make sure to order ahead of time for the tamales if you want some! They only take orders of them by the dozen. The food looked intentionally made and the atmosphere was very inviting. Looking forward to trying their desserts soon!
