Viva Mexico

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

The food is always lovely and the staff is always friendly at Viva Mexico. My favourite dish is the vegetarian enchiladas. The salsa is fresh and has a nice kick to it.

Great authentic Mexican food in atmospheric surroundings. Wonderful service I would definitely return. Make sure you book as we went on a Tuesday and it was very busy.

I've always loved this place but hadn't been for a few years. I booked it for dinner for 4 of us. I'm happy to say that it hasn't changed a bit, still a friendly atmosphere, friendly staff, lovely food and very reasonably priced.

Really enjoyed our visit. Lovely mexican food and drinks. Lots to choose from, great cocktails. Friendly staff serving. Good value for money close to the royal mile.

Food was delicious, service was great. It's a lovey authentic restaurant that's a hidden treasure. i would definitely go back and I. Had been before.

We turned up at 5:55pm for a 6pm booking and we're asked to stand outside, in the rain, as the venue doesn't open until 6pm. So not off to a good start. Once in, the service was good, if a little frantic. The waitress was very polite and attended well. We ordered our drinks and food and didn't have to wait long. Both myself and my wife enjoyed our starters but were sadly dissapointed by our mains. My wife went for their "famous" chicken fajitas. It was 4 bits of chicken lacking the expected flavour. All put together, the overall fajita was nice. I went for chefs special of fish tacos. They were nice but couldn't help but feel the fish was chopped up fish fingers? Regardless, we had a nice experience and enjoyed our evening. Overall, attentive service but pretty average food.

Lunch deal is lovely and good value. Service was good, staff friendly. If having lunch on a warm day, try to get a seat away from the window at lunch time as the sun beats down making it very hot.

Excellent food, great service and an establishment with character. Great location, friendly and efficient staff all made this a great place to eat. Extremely generous portions too. I cannot recommend this place enough. Brilliant!

Food was lovely but we did feel a bit rushed as we didn't realise that restaurant was only open for 2 hrs at lunchtime. We arrived at 1230 and were bring rushed out by 2ish. Not ideal if you were in for a lazy lunch !

FOOD AND SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT, AS ALWAYS, AS WAS MY MARGARITAS. CAN'T WAIT FOR OUR NEXT MEAL THERE. PROBABLY BE BACK AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT MONTH WITH A FEW FRIENDS WHO WILL BE UP FOR THE FESTIVAL

A very nice place inside, relaxed atmosphere and the food was delicious, definitely worth a visit! Will be back soon for sure, would like to sit downstairs next time :-)

Fantastic food great staff wonderful evening.😁 great range of food for meat eaters and vegetarians and for the people who don't like spicy as in hot hot hot food , not a problem. Xx

I went for dinner with a friend, we both thought the food was very good and the service was quick and friendly. I would recommend it.

I have eaten here a lot of times, the food is always great and so are the margaritas. Staff were fantastic and accommodated our rowdy table. We all had a great time! :)

I had a thoroughly enjoyable eating experience! Excellent food and drink and the service was friendly, welcoming, and good fun. I will be returning in the near future

Mmmmm tasty and reasonably priced. Ate too much which just about says it all. Authentic straiforward good grub. Didn't give a 6 as the plates aren't large enough. And I mean that in the sense that there wasn't enough room on my plate for my food, which is a bug bare for me. Go, you won't be disappointed.

Started the evening with Margaritas, which were delicious. Food was good. Portions were large and everything was delicious. Staff were friendly and service very good. Will definitely be back.

Had an absolutely delicious meal and great atmosphere!! Definitely recommend the strawberry margaritas and beef fajitas and all the guacomole!! Staff were quite efficient and served us quickly!

Excellent, authentic Mexican dishes and drinks served by friendly staff in an a casual bistro setting making for a great evening. Quite small and popular so Best to book.

This is by far the best Mexican eatery I have ever been to, the food it top class, the service is excellent and the decor is really cool. It's only a 1min walk from the main train station in Edinburgh as well.

This is the 6th or 7th time I have been here and every time it has exceeded my expectations. Food was amazing and service was too class.

Booked for early evening dinner on a Sat night. Amazing food and fab service. Very reasonable prices and lovely atmosphere. Would definitely go back and would recommend to friends.

Viva Mexico has long been one of my favourite restaurants. Great service and authentic Mexican food. Tried the ceviche this time and it was excellent. We will be back!

Really great service and fab food. Super menu - lots of choice. Arrived just before opening time aimed and had to join the queue. Says it all really!

Really great food but they got one of the main course orders wrong, twice! Asked for beef got chicken, sent it back asked for beef, got pork, gave up and ate it anyway!! Would have been 6 if I'd got beef second time around.

Excellent really authentic Mexican. We had Cevich and Ribs for starter and shredded beef Tosdadas and chicken Flautist for mains. Very good and reasonably priced Margehritas.

Faultless Mexican food, don't expect anything ground-breaking but for the classics, you'll be happy with fajitas, burritos, enchiladas et al. Tasty house-made guacamole and salsa were good, portion sizes reasonable, drinks list decent.

Met a friend here for dinner last Friday and we had a lovely evening. Great food and lovely staff. So close to Waverley too, so easy to get to. Can't wait to go back now.

We come here every time we are in Edinburgh. Excellent food and service. Quality and quantity assured. The white fish croquettes and the re-fried beans are our favourite starters and for mains, the beef fajitas are better than anywhere else we've been. Try the dime bar dessert - absolutely fantastic. Lovely atmosphere but would have liked to hear Mexican music.

Viva Mexico is an amazing resturaunt with amazing customer service. The food was absolutely fantastic. I recommend the chicken chimichanga and the nachos!! Highly recommend this resturaunt for all it is simply wonderful.

Great food, reasonable price and really nice staff who were really accommodating when I wanted to add another person to the table booking last minute. Would definitely go again

Have been to this restaurant on several occasions with my wife and has always been amazing. We come from Newcastle and travel to Edinburgh specifically for this place.

Lovely authentic food, well worth a visit when in edinburgh! Not to expensive but not cheap! Very good variety of authentic drinks along with cocktails

This was our second visit to Viva Mexico. Last time was for lunch which was excellent and this time for dinner. We both had the fajitas. One steak and the other chicken both were lovely, very tasty and plenty of. The staff were friendly & efficient. Will definitely return.

Great food, could fault it, party of 8 and we all got our food at the same time, and all of the girls said they would go back.

Nice meal with a small pitcher of Margarita. Always very good

Excellent Restaurant, I have been several times and have never had a meal worse than great, I try to get to the restaurant as much as I can.

Overall ok. Not very spicy as you might expect from a Mexican. Ok, the standard burritos, enchiladas etc. have to cater for the majority but there were no obvious ways to spice it up, no additional sauces etc. offered with the meal. Mango smoothie was very good. Table was rickety (by the window) causing some drink spillage and took a while and a number of wedges to stabilise.

Great food, brilliant ambiance! best chilli chocolate cheesecake around! excellent
