We have plenty of delicious Mexican restaurants in Connecticut, and one of the oldest and most delightful is Viva Zapata in Westport. This delicious eatery is set up in a historic home that looks quite tame from the outside. Inside, however, you’ll find a peppy and colorful spot with unique decor and incredibly tasty food. It’s no wonder that it’s been around for over half a century.

Viva Zapata recently celebrated its 50th year of good times in Westport. The eatery opened up back in 1969 and has been delighting Nutmeg State residents ever since.
