Since 1995, Viva Taqueria has been serving fresh, healthy Mexican food at affordable prices.  We pride ourselves on the quality and freshness of our food. 

Viva Cantina, our full service restaurant, features margaritas made with fresh lime juice, a huge selection of premium tequilas and mezcals, Mexican and local beers, and fresh sangria.

In April of 2023, Viva relocated just across the intersection of State & Aurora to a larger and more accommodating space. We look forward to serving Ithacans and visitors at our new location at 215 E State Street on the Downtown Ithaca Commons.
