Viva Mexico

Literally so good. Real, delicious, insanely incredible Mexican food. They’ve been there for 35 years and I frankly expect them to be around for another hundred at least. Everything was unbelievably delicious, from the homemade traditional margaritas and chocolate chilli cheesecake, to the killer chimichangas and enchiladas. I will HAPPILY get a train up from Newcastle just to go here again. Seriously. Mad love. Oh, and the staff are ridiculously amazing and lovely, and the ambience is pretty darn cool too. Love it. 11/10

Great Mexican food with a Scottish twist. Service was excellent.

Superb experience!! We all enjoyed the excellent food, great ambience and great service.

Truly superb meal, great atmosphere and service!!!. ... .... .....

Amazing food, fantastic customer service and a great atmosphere !

Fab food, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Good recommendations about menu choices.

Always a great meal and great service at Viva Mexico!

Loved the atmosphere our waitress was very friendly and helpful as 2 of our guest had not eaten Mexican before . Love the food Will be back x

Authentic food and very tasty. Margaritas delicious although the salt on the rim was rock salt - very large and crunchy! Great little restaurant though. Friendly staff and good service.

Amazing food and great margaritas. Highly recommend as a new venture

Been lots of visits before. Service wasn’t great last night and food portions were smaller. Margaritas were average, sadly.

Generous portions of tasty Mexican food in a compact environment, with friendly welcoming service. Ceviche starter was enough for a main for my wife, but the burritos or chimchangas were more than satisfying for those of us with hearty appetites. Gets busy, so don't forget to book.

Good food, portions are big, lots of fresh veg, good atmosphere, nice staff

Excellent food as always. Great ambience! Had a great time

It was great waited a few minutes for table to be ready then the food came really quickly.

My friends and I had a lovely lunch and staff were very friendly

Great food, excellent service, good value too. Would definitely go back again.

Returned after 11 years and still as good as the first time. Back soon hopefully

Very tasty food - great atmosphere and service. Excellent !

The restaurant is in a very central, easy-to-get-to location in Edinburgh, about three minutes walk up from Waverley station. It's quite rustic in style, full of Mexican memorabilia. We sat upstairs, but most of the dining tables are actually downstairs in the basement. It's a good menu, and the food we had was very tasty indeed. The stuffed jalapenos starter was delicious, and the Enchiladas de Mole main course seemed to me to be just as a Mole should be. Portion sizes were generous to the extent that we didn't feel the need for dessert. The waiting staff seemed pleasant and the service was efficient but without us feeling rushed.

2nd visit to Viva Mexico. Nice central location. Food really good. Soup is really tasty - would recommend. Lunch menu is good value with nice choice.

Very nice meal and friendly staff, restaurant had a nice cosy feel and also had a larger room for bigger parties. Hopefully will return on our next trip here.

Sat at very drafty door despite being lots tables downstairs. Ordered chicken burritos which came with rice and refried beans in the side. Found it to be very dry and bland.. would not recommend!

What can I say... this is without a doubt, THE best Mexican restaurant in the whole of the UK that we have ever been to. I moved to London from California 5 years ago and have been on the search for the flavours I grew up on and no other Mexican restaurant has been able to meet my expectations. This place tastes like home. It is truly real Mexican food that you can tell is made with so much love and care. I would happily make the 5 hour train journey from London to Edinburgh just to have a meal here.

The food was excellent again. This is our fifth time here and we enjoy coming back and trying new items. So far nothing has been a disappoint.

Great food - and price - as ever and the busy restaurant always has a good buzz about it. Prompt, friendly service. Best chocolate chili cheesecake around!

The Food was amazing, generous portions too, lovely setting and attentive staff. Good cocktails and the atmosphere was good too. Table was slightly too small but that’s the only negative.

Food was good but a little slow with ordered drinks. Also unfinished carafe of wine was removed when clearing plates. Didn’t realise TIL it was too late.

Very nice but not as authentic as i would have liked. The staff were very friendly though. With so many restaurants to choose from in Edinburgh I think a little improvement is needed. Still with visiting though.

Great food in a unique setting for edinburgh. My compqnion had the fish tacos and could not stop talking about them. The chicken fajitas are amazing. I would highly recommend.

Had dinner with a group of friends last night and had not been in a while. Delicious food, lovely cocktails and friendly staff. Remains one of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh!

Good selection of reasonably priced food and lovely frozen margaritas! Nice cosy atmosphere. Close to the Royal Mile. Friendly and attentive service. Would go again.

We came across this restaurant quite by chance whilst walking down Cockburn Street back in 1985. Since then we have visited many times, not as many as we would like as we no longer live in Edinburgh, and have never once, in all those years, been disappointed with the food or the service. We would recommend a visit to anyone as we are sure, if you like Mexican food, you'll love it.

My family and I had a lovely meal. The food was delicious and the service warm and friendly. This is our second visit in the last couple of months. We will be back!

It was excellent, nice timely polite service and great, tasty food from a good menu with plenty of options without being too big. Nice surroundings too.

Excellent food, top quality service and a lovely, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I would definitely recommend a visit to Viva Mexico, and I'll certainly be returning myself!

Great ambience and fantastic service from friendly waiting staff. The food was delicious and freshly made. Great margaritas as always. Would highly recommend Viva Mexico for friends and family.
