"Viva SPI is the lunch and dinner counterpart to the owners’ better-known South Padre Island restaurant, Yummies Bistro, a breakfast joint only a mile away. Yummies Bistro specializes in straightforward, albeit delicious American breakfast fare, but Viva SPI offers a more upscale, Latin-influenced menu, such as a light mango ceviche and shrimp tacos. The cocktails menu here are a hit, and many have fresh-pressed juice, like palomas and a range of margaritas." - Lane Gillespie, Brittany Britto Garley
