VIVA TACOS & TEQUILA
 
Viva Tacos & Tequila is a family affair run by two siblings, Yesenia and Alfonso Leon; their cousin, Donavon Ayala; and friend Juan Carlos Leon. With over 35 years of combined experience, the restaurant offers a range of tequilas and mezcal from Jalisco, Mexico, and features a menu of regional dishes and Mexican classics.
 
Co-owner Alfonso Leon proudly said their tortillas are handmade daily each morning and their tequila is made with 100% agave.
 
From the colorful “V-I-V-A” letters in front of their outdoor seating to the large hand-painted murals on the inside, the atmosphere is fun, festive and beautiful.
 
The Leon family has a strong connection to Daniel Island: they worship at St. Clare Catholic Church and their children are Bishop England graduates. 
 
Yesenia Leon said prior to their 2020 opening, “I love the parents and community where everyone looks out for each other and is always willing to help one another. We felt Daniel Island would be a great spot for the families to have a local place to go and have a great meal, drink and experience without having to leave the island.”
