Viva Mexico

Fabulous! Loved it all ... the food, the decor, the staff ... could not fault the place wish had eaten there at start of holiday then we could have returned several times.

Longstanding Mexican restaurant in the Old Town, Surprisingly busy at 6pm. A bit slow to get drinks ordered but a delicious Margarita was worth waiting for. Overall, tasty and good value. Very authentic re-fried beans.

Thoroughly enjoyed waitress fabulous made us very welcom yes we will be back . Could not believe how good it was was, view excellent of Scotsman Hotel overall excellent.

We visited on a Wednesday afternoon for my husbands birthday. Great food, attentive friendly staff, well priced. A lovely lunch! Quandoo want me to write a minimum of 25 word but I summed it up in 10!

Excellent restaurant; amazing food and great service. Cant wait to go back! I particularly appreciate the virgin margarita, it's nice to get an interesting non-alcoholic drink option.

Superb and really authentic food! Having just come back from a trip to Mexico it felt like being back on holiday. Brilliant cocktails, excellent service, delicious food :-)

Fabulous atmosphere. Amazing food and lovely helpful staff. Tables a bit too close together. Would definitely recommend viva Mexico and the new fish tacos were delicious.

Amazing food and drinks. Lovely, authentic Mexican atmosphere. Reasonable prices and friendly staff. I would certainly recommend this restaurant to everyone! Book in advance, this is a popular place!

Food was lovely but have to highlight that the staff were great - nothing was too much trouble, even when I changed my booking time and was late (getting 21st birthday boy there). it was fun that they left sombrero for him to put on to highlight it was his birthday (we entered into it too). Will definitely be back!

Excellent ambience, food extremely tasty, great drinks list with one of the most unusual drinks I have had. Beer with salt, lime juice, tobasco and worcester sauce, delish.

Great food and great service will come here again. The portion where of a good size try the stuffed jalapeño to die for and the chimichanga was good also

I had a lovely time at Viva Mexico. The food was delicious, the margaritas were great, and the atmosphere was cozy and fun. I highly recommend the sopas (off the taqueria menu), as well as the pork chili verde enchiladas.

We had a superb meal. It was a lovely atmosphere and the service was excellent . A really great night out - thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Twenty years since I was last there, still great. Everyone should try it. The best place for fun and frolics. Lovers of Mexican food will not be disappointed.

What a superb evening! This is such a lovely little authentic restaurant with lovely personable staff. The only Mexican food I've tasted in Scotland which is so close to the real deal in Riviera Maya. We were celebrating a birthday, so the staff fussed over us which was lovely and very much appreciated. We'll definitely be back very soon :-)

Food was good; margaritas were excellent; ambience was great; however the service was a bit mixed - wrong food brought but quickly replaced when pointed out and we had to ask for water three times before it was brought to the table. Hasn't put us off though and we'll be back!

Atmosphere was very authentic. Food was Incredible. We would definitely recommend and return when in Edinburgh again. Service was very good. And prices were reasonable for the quality.

We had a wonderful meal, 1 vegan and 2 carnivores - we all loved our meal and the service was excellent! Will definitely be back!

Excellent service and great food my third time going and it's been great every time good value for money I'll be going again my favourite restaurant

Always great service, always amazing freshly cooked with high standard and very tasty ingredients. Highly recommend Viva Mexico to anyone looking for a meal that will not let you down in any way!

Excellent food and great service in a quaint restaurant. Really enjoyed a lovely meal here, couldn't fault the place. We will definitely be back in the future

Our table was sticky, we had to wipe crumbs of seats to sit down and the food was luke warm bordering on cold, will not be returning.

This place has been a bit family tradition for as long as I can remember and the food is always outstanding and the service warn and friendly. I would never hesitate to recommend Viva Mexico.

We had a booking but were very hungry so we turned up early on the off chance and, happily, the staff got us seated straight away. They were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. The mango margaritas are definitely recommended! As it was mid-week and the place wasn't too busy we got to sit and enjoy our drinks after the meal without feeling pressured to vacate the table. This restaurant is a firm favourite and I always have an excellent meal here.

Best Mexican in Edinburgh. Friendly staff, great food and drinks, would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys authentic Mexican cuisine. A big thumbs up! Gracias!!

Delicious food and great service! Cocktails were also cheap and fantastic!

great little find! My husband and I love mexican and Viva Mexico did not disappoint. Lovely food in great surroundings, there was a really lovely atmosphere throughout the restaurant and the staff couldn't have been nicer.

Our regular little piece of Mexico in Edinburgh. Always outstanding. Food is great, service is lovely, prices are perfect and we always look forward to going.

Been here many times as it's reliable and always has Good food with Plenty of veggie options. Great margaritas. Book a table, it's always busy.

Welcoming restaurant, lovely food, friendly staff. Nice wee place for birthday celebrations. Fajitas fabulous! Everyone enjoyed the Margharitas and off course the tequila. Will be back.

Good food excellent friendly staff, choice of tables given and pleasant attentive service. Meal course filling without being stoggy, ingredients fresh and drick nicely prepared.

The food was delicious and the restaurant itself was lovely. Also the staff were all friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be making more visits.

Absolutely awful, food was cold & over priced not impressed at all & would not recommend eating there, when asked about food we informed them about the above & no refund was offered Terrible place 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Great atmosphere here , the food was tasty -true Mexican and the jugs of margaritas are to die for. Fabulous Mexican and would definitely recommend this place

Amazing place, the food is excellent, staff are very friendly. They customise for people with intolerances and allergies quite happily. Definitely will go back here.

It was really good food and friendly service. Nice atmosphere and it was fast to get our food. The music kept stopping so was sometimes very quiet but other than that was a nice atmosphere

Amazing food, super value for the portions received as well. Atmosphere was lovely and service was really friendly. All the food was super fresh, excellent quality and gave taste explosions!

Had an excellent Mexican dinner at Viva Mexico! The margaritas are great as was the friendly service. Our food arrived quickly and all five of us really enjoyed it! Will be back!

Amazing, authentic Mexican food in a great setting! The staff were very friendly friendly and helpful and the restaurant had a great relaxed environment. We'll be back!

Very tasty food, good sized portions, clean and cheerful with attentive staff. Nacho starter was very good as was the sizzling fahitas. Will go again.
