Great food, easy location. Can get crowded with spotty service. Good variety to the menu. Save room for dessert, they too are excellent. A nice surprise.
Good location in the centre of Edinburgh. Walk up the hill make you feel like you have earned your dinner. Excellent food and service. Margaritas well worth a try!
Great food, friendly staff, cosy setting, really impressed! I had the chicken with chocolate & chilli sauce, amazing! I would definitely go back here again.
Very nice helpful waiting staff. Food was tasty but thought the menu was bit limited. Not sure if authentic Mexican food maybe adapted to suit locals?
Excellent restaurant. The food was very good and the atmosphere was great. We ordered the house special, the fajitas and they were great. Good value for money also!
Delicious food, fun and quirky atmosphere and staff were very friendly. Prices are reasonable for food and drinks although could so with more choice of cocktails. Would definitely recommend.
Restaurant lovely and food amazing but staff were not very attentive left without drinks for all of main course and waited ages to get bill.
Great little restaurant, fantastic atmosphere, great food and reasonable prices. Staff were friendly too. We will definitely be eating here whenever we return to Edinburgh.
Very slow service. Was sitting at the table for ten minutes before we were asked for our drink order. Nachos overcooked and dark brown. The enchalada consisted of a odd textured tortilla which really wasn't very nice. The cocktails we were given were in warm glasses, which must have come straight out of a dishwasher. Been lots of times over the years to viva, so was really disappointed with this visit.
Enjoyable night with great food and good service. Would recommend and will return in the future. Liked the decor and the tequila... great mexican restaurant.
It was my second time at Viva Mexico and it was even better than the first time. It was perfect. The food, the service, the atmosphere... I will always come back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive and friendly. Our only criticism is that it felt a bit rushed.
Great meal and excellent service. The jug of margaritas really started the evening off well. We recommend the vegetarian sharing platter starter. Lively and friendly atmosphere.
I have been going to this restaurant for over 30 years and in all this time it has never ever disappointed me or my wife . We try to go at least once a year, normally her birthday.
The service was efficient and very friendly considering how busy they were we never felt neglected. The food was lovely and we all left with very happy bellies if not somewhat stuffed. I highly recommend the Flan Especil if it's on the dessert menu it's scrummy
Mango margaritas, Fish tacos and tortilla soup were outstanding. Very nice staff. Only downside was they didn't offer complimentary salsa and chips. Atmosphere was also fun but not obnoxious.
Tasty food and great service made for a good experience overall. I would definitely recommend the beef fajitas and nachos - yummy! Value for money.
Great atmosphere , great you can take children, lovely birthday evening with good food and excellent service from the staff even though the restaurant was really busy
Great restaurant ideally located... the service is Nice and the food is gorgeous and tasty!!! Do not hesitate one second! Quesada Grande is really... grande!
The Sangria was lovely. I would also recommend the haggis nachos - a nice change from regular nachos. The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere too.
Great place, great atmosphere , generally really suprised at how cool it was in side , loved the additional extras and decorations and the food was fantastic
Amazing food and atmosphere! Food was authentic and tasted amazing, we had a great seat with views across Edinburgh! Can't recommend this hidden gem enough!
Our best Mexican in Edinburgh - and we've tried almost all of them!
Last Thursday, I booked for four of us at 2pm. All of sudden, they just inform us that 5 mins kitchen closed. We haven't order & decide for cup of tea instead. We all are disappointed. Will not go back again! They put us down! :(
We have been visiting Viva's for years - my opinion is that it is one of the best Mexican Restaurants by far. The food is lovely, the staff are attentive and efficient and the margaritas are fantastic!
Had lunch today and was very impressed. This place has a great atmosphere, great location, great staff, great food and great price. I would highly recommend a visit
The food was excellent, the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was very chilled. Oh and the mojitos are also highly recommended! We will definitely visit again.
3 out of 4 chairs broken and wonky table. Could just have been out bad luck but food not hot and fajita not even a whimper never mind a sizzle. Shame.
nice little restaurant, with welcoming staff, lovely mexican food and decorations
Menu was great, plenty of options for lunchtime, perfect portion sizes for lunchtime. Not expensive at all. Love the buzz of the place. Absolutely love Viva Mexico. Highly recommend.
Just okay, a different place to go, food alright but quite expensive for what it is, one of our party found a hair in her dessert, wouldn't rush back.
A really nice little place with good service. Choice of dishes was excellent the quality and size was perfect. I will definitely be back soon!
Lovely food, great atmosphere. The place it self when you first walk past it seems quite small, but most the restaurant is under ground! Nice little touch
Good food, good environment. Very nice service. This time the food wasn't as good as others though. In general I highly recommend the place. It's nice
Excellent food and service. Loved the old photos!! Will be back on our next Edinburgh trip!!
Really nice time, fully booked for the walk ins in front of us, but our quandoo booking meant we were seated straight away. Nice food and atmosphere so would go back again
Fantastic food, wonderful sangria, lovely friendly staff. Fantastic end to a great weekend in Edinburgh. Can strongly recommend this restaurant.... Best fajitas I've ever had
Flying visit as wanted to catch a jazz gig. Was very nice food and service was excellent! Overall we enjoyed our meal. Would visit again.
Great food and service. Booked this restaurant online and it was absolutely worth it. The atmosphere was fantastic, the decor was exactly what I would have expected. Friendly and very prompt service again great food! Tasty, well presented, hot and plenty of it
Cute restaurant, great food with choices for any dietary needs! The staff are friendly and attentive and food was prepared quickly given we were a large group. Reasonably priced, we were all pleased!
