Bites Nearby: Viva Mexico

Each week, Woodstock-Towne Lake Patch picks a great restaurant, either in town or nearby, that is worth checking out. Here's this weeks choice:

 -- If you live in the Canton-Holly Springs area, you’ve probably heard of Viva Mexico. A hidden jewel in a local strip mall, it is located near the Publix shopping center on Prominence Point Parkway (just off Interestate 575, exit No. 14). We went out to dinner with some friends, and instead of the same Mexican restaurant we usually go to, they suggested Viva Mexico. I have to say, I was very impressed. It was crowded to the brim and people were having a great time. It has a lovely décor, a full bar and a very friendly staff. The salsa is addictive. I will definitely go back. 130 Prominence Point Pkwy. (7.5 miles from Woodstock) 770-720-3345. Open daily for lunch and dinner. Prices: $7 to $18 for an entrées.
