Great food, attentive staff. Brilliant dining experience. Every time we visit Edinburgh we go to Viva Mexico, best mexican restaurant around. Can't wait for our next visit
Fantastic food very tasty and good price highly recommend to any Mexican food lovers atmosphere good and fldrinks service very good will defiantly return too
Extremely nice staff, amazing food, great atmosphere and very close from train station conivent for short distance travel. Good pricing for starters, mains and dessert
Probably the best Mexican in Scotland. Authentic and very tasty! Service was amazing and the drinks were delicious as well. Great value for money and would highly recommend.
Friendly waitress. Quick to be seated. Drinks served fast. Food was excellent. No hanging about between courses. Nice place to eat. We’d definitely come back here. Recommend to others.
The food was good but we were disappointed in the service. The restaurant was quite busy but not overly so considering the time of year. Our main courses arrived before our starter and drinks, we had to then ask again about the starter before it finally arrived. It took 3 times of asking to finally get the bill. Very disappointing.
It was a lovely restaurant, the cocktails were lovely and was the starters but the main courses let it down. Fajitas were massive strips of onion and pepper which were nearly raw and the chicken had no seasoning, except for salt.
Two of the party liked their dish whilst the other 2 didn't like theirs. Drinks service was quite slow . The waiting staff on the whole however very pleasant.
We have been going to Viva Mexico for years now. Yesterday we were back after a years break and as always absolutely great! Delicious food, very nice service. Top marks!!:)
Really good tasty food. We were in a larger group and the food came out all at the same time and was hot. The only part that was a bit slow was the service for drinks orders - if this had been quicker there would have been more orders.
The food was absolutely amazing! We absolutely loved it! Never mind tasty margaritas and friendly & professional staff. Go and dine there, you'll love it!
food good service good decor good the only problem was seats were uncomfortable but we would probably consider going back again next time we visit Edinburgh
Friendly staff and good service. Nice surroundings, quiet as lunchtime but imagine lively atmosphere at night. Food was nice but not amazing. Would recommend for a group, good value for money.
Fantastic meal, very friendly and efficient staff. Wonderful atmosphere, beautifully presented restaurant. Love all the wee rooms. Had our meal booked for 6pm on a Friday night. Arrived a little early so wasn’t open yet. Wandered into a couple of nice shops nearby and by the time we got back to the restaurant there were already several diners sitting. We were welcomed as soon as we entered and taken to our table. Food was served very quickly despite how busy they were. Food was delicious! Sangria was lovely. Will definitely be back.
Awesome authentic atmosphere, lovely staff, incredible food and fantastic value. At last a reasonably priced bargain. Try the pecan pie or dime bar crunch cake.
We really liked this restaurant. The food and service was really good. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Edinburgh. Only thing I would like to see is beer on draft. Definitely recommended.
A great place to eat in the heart of the Old Town, food's good and service friendly without being pushy, nice line in tequila too.
Excellent food and service, but a review of the menu needed in light of the whole street food revolution possibly. Still a great place to eat in the heart of the old town
When you enter, you think it is a small restaurant, but downstairs, has a big space, well decorated, the food is tastefull, the staff is very atentious and the price is good also. I recomend
Really friendly staff and the food is extremely well made and full of flavour. No trip to Edinburgh is complete unless it includes a meal here.
Food was lovely but the service felt quite rushed, we had two courses and were out within half an hour. Maybe this was because it was quieter but would have been good to have a bit more time between courses.
This was our second time at Viva Mexico and it was better this time than the last time, which we truly enjoyed! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was just right where you could listen to the music but still have a conversation. Can't wait to go back.
Lovely food and ambiance. We arrived early and were given a lovely table downstairs. The portions are hearty; it was just what we needed after a long afternoon and getting caught in the rain.
Gorgeous food and lovely atmosphere, definitely recommend for anyone who loves Mexican food. Very reasonably priced and is central so really easy to get to
Always a great place to eat. You can't go wrong with homemade salsa and amazing main courses. Try a margarita (they are pricey) treat yourself!
Amazing food and pretty decent staff. Homemade salsa and it hits the spot for tex mex for this American who now lives in the UK. Always eat here when we come to Edinburgh.
Fantastic restaurant with excellent food and service. We had a large party attending and they dealt with us extremely well and efficiently. The food was superb too. Large portions and tasty Mexican fare. Highly recommended.
The Food was fantastic and the service was excellent. There was a lovely atmosphere with a good selection of mains and desserts. I would recommend
Booked a table last minute, got a good choice of tables, the food was great, good selection of starters and mains and a great choice of fillings, also the guacamole was fantastic!
Excellent service with some very good staff. Nice to be recognised as a regular. The food is always excellent and there is plenty on your plate. My favourite Mexican outside of Mexico .
Food was very nice as was the virgin mojito. The décor is fun, loved the day of the dead candle holders on each table. Would recommend.
Wonderful highly recommended!! Excellent food as always. Love the atmosphere and the decor. Will certainly be back for more. Well we keep going back for more.....
The food is excellent and the staff are very friendly. There is a great range of mexican foods & drink. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
Great food, good central location and excellent service. Really enjoy this place - my favourite Mexican restaurant in Edinburgh. Would definitely recommend this great restaurant.
Lively vibe to complement the vibrant flavours and great cocktails. Service was creditable efficient and friendly, prices were quite reasonable too. Would definitely pay another visit.
Amazing food, truly fantastic. Everything feels authentic and full of flavour. They have a great selection of tequila to get you in the mood as well. Just a great restaurant.
Excellent food and lovely staff. Really good and would recommend highly. Salsa was spicy! Margaritas were strong and salty. Food was delicious. Great location. We liked the tequila water bottles too.
Really like this restaurant. I have been a few times and always great service and food. The margaritas are also excellent. I would highly recommend.
Lovely food and pleasant efficient staff. A lovely evening with a great atmosphere. Would definitely visit again. Started with cocktails and had starters and main courses. Unfortunately couldn't fit the chocolate chilli cheesecake in
