Viva Dalston

Lovely place for cocktails and food would recommend. Staff were friendly too!

Very good food. Good atmosphere and good music! Overall we had a great evening. Despite the initial hiccup with our large booking. We booked for 10 but were given a table that would sit 6 people at a squeeze. All was sorted in the end, but I guess it would have been easier and smoother if our large table had been ready for us and we didnt have to make other customers move.

The staff, especially Emma, were so attentive and welcoming to me and guest. I would highly recommend this place for parties, fun dinners and or date nights!

Excellent service and great drinks. We all had the best time.

Jalapeños margarita is the best!!! Try it! Beetroot drink as well

Food is average to good with one type of spicy sauce and the alternative is Valentina. (Thst's bad) Although the waiting times are ok, the waitress doesn't offer more than the asked even if empty glasses. We needed to stand up and pay..as none approached to see if we needed something else

Excellent food, service and cocktails. Highly recommend the jalapeno Margherita.

This is a great place with really cozy atmosphere. The food and drinks are quite good. The place is not that expensive for the value it offers. This is the place where you could go frequently.

Turned up to find our table had been given to someone else which was annoying. Staff good and drinks tasty on the night though which made up for it

There's not much food on offer, but what we had (tacos) were tasty. Drinks were nice, but it's a shame they don't do classic cocktails.

Great portion sizes and great vibe. Love the food here

Amazing service and atmosphere! Great selection of cocktails and food. Server was very helpful in making recommendations and very friendly. Would highly recommend this place.

Enjoyable night out for my birthday friend. Cocktails were great, wine was excellent, garden setting fine but - on a night expecting rain, we were seated outside the canopy area & told we could go on barstools if it rained while we were eating. The food was attractive but we expected it to be more Mexican spicy, we felt it would of improved it. Nice lively vibe in the place but we felt the food let it down.

The food portions were really small unfortunately. The Hendricks martini cocktail was very nice. The overall customer service was not great, felt wet rushed. Rated 3:6

Fun place with great food and cocktails. The service could be a little quicker and attentive but a nice hangout in Dalston. Will go back for sure

Really great service, delicious food and cocktails. Fantastic cheese, I would highly recommend. They made my birthday special, even with a free shot! Muy buen!!

Everything was great; food, drink, and service. Strongly recommended. The dishes are all unique; I’ve never had Mexican food like it. It’s my favourite restaurant.

Food was not very tasteful and quite bland. Cocktails were good. Wouldn’t recommend the special nachos. Not worth the money and service was pretty average.

Lovely staff, great, fresh and interesting food with a really nice glass of wine!! Love this little place!! We alway go when over east way ....

We loved this place. It has a great atmosphere, very relaxed (but efficient), lovely interior and fab food and cocktails! We shared lots of dishes and everything was delicious.

Absolutely love VIVA. Every time I've been the food and cocktails have been great and really quick to arrive. But what makes it such a special place is the staff who are all so helpful and friendly.

Fab food, relaxed atmosphere and lovely staff. Definitely a little gem within Dalston. Worth a visit. Try the gin cocktails and the nachos, very tasty

The staff was fantastic. Service was brilliant. The place is nice and charming. Had a really great time. I would recommend the restaurant to anyone. The cocktails were good but food could be upgraded.

This restaurant made our evening - it was great for a large group. Delicious food & cocktails and great interior design / atmosphere. Thanks !!!

Great food, cool staff who were very helpful (even charged my phone) and the Quesadillas were awesome! I didn't like that the special nachos were very watery at the bottom, but they were extremely tasty besides that. Would recommend and revisit.

Visited on a Saturday night so was quite busy but received Great service and atmosphere. Staff where very friendly and the food was amazing. Would definitely go back again. The zombie cocktail was killer.

The food was decent but not amazing. The staff were very nice though. All food were different sizes so difficult to know how much to order. Say nay to cerviche.

Had a great time, friendly staff, good drinks and food! Wish I could have stayed longer, but had to leave at 9.30pm. Nice garden at the back!

Cosy devor and nice ambiance. Quick service and quality drinks / cocktails. Quality tapas food! Highly recommend and would definitely go back again. Quality stuff

The food was all so delicious and the atmosphere was great! Order the pork tacos and chorizo!! Can't wait to go back! The cocktails were also on point!

The warmest welcome I have received in ages. Only had time for cocktails because of nightmare journey but they were served up swiftly and tasted really good.

Viva Tapas has a really nice and chilled environment with a great cocktail selection. Staff were more than accommodating and the presentation of the food was well thought out and delicious.

Really yummy food and cocktails! The taquitos and caramelised onion quesadillas were great. Get a jug of margarita with your meal to get into the Mexican fiesta spirit

Recommend by my cousin and we finally learned why.. Amazing food, vibe and service! Try the nachos as a starter, they will blow your mind. As well as the coconut soup with plantains..and Dutch mushroom ..wow! Will definitely be back soon!

Staff were great and the drinks were excellent. The only downside was that the food took it's time but all in all we had a great time.

Great food and awesome atmosphere - thecocktails are really tasty and we shared a number of dishes between the four of us. Definitely recommend this!

Had such a great evening at Viva, the food, drinks and atmosphere was 5star! The staff were also all polite and very attentive. I'll definitely be returning.

Great vibe, staff, food and cocktails. There were some brilliant and novel cocktails which I just loved. And Viva went out of their way to commemorate my anniversary (once I'd informed them of this). Will defo go there again.

Very accommodating staff great atmosphere and an equal focus on food and drink, you can have either or both, unlike lots of tapas places where it mostly revolves around the food.

Very slow service. It took ages to place the order and get a bill. Noisy and crowded. Food and cocktails were excellent though. Interesting choices too.

I had my fiances 30th birthday party was really great. Staff were friendly! Only thing I would say is that they were a bit unorganized, and when I called to add people to the list they didn't have my booking on there it seemed so luckyI had called. Cocktails took a bit long to arrive, but other then that good food nice cocktails! We had a great time!

This place is a true find! Great food, drinks and to top off staff were fab. I just keep coming back. Can't wait for summer out in urban garden

Great pork tacos and margaritas. Very friendly staff. The ceviche could perhaps have done with a touch more lime. The best Mexican restaurant we have found in Hackney. We'll be back!

Viva is a local favourite of ours. The food is faultless, delicious & features lots of things not typically found in Mexican & South American restarants. There's lots of choice for vegetarians, and the cocktails are tasty & innovative. Very well priced too, and great atomosphere.

Brilliant restaurant with excellent food, friendly staff and a wonderful selection of cocktails. We have been several times and definitely think it's one of the best Mexican places in London. The tapas style menu means you can try various dishes at a very reasonable price. Definitely give it a go!

Delicious food, scrumptious tortilla chips, a relaxed atmosphere and secluded garden. Worth a visit!

Absolutely wonderful evening at Viva. The staff went above and beyond to make our experience a special one. Drinks are fantastic - we sampled some new summer cocktails and were served a fantastic red wine. Food was glorious - filling and delicious. Love, love, love this place

Very cute bar/restaurant, brilliant beer garden out the back. Delicious cocktails and the best nachos I've ever eaten, can also highly recommend the butternut squash quesidilla and chilli tacos! Yum yum yum. I'll be back!

Amazing food, great cocktails and super friendly service. The place has a great atmosphere and We've been many times and we will be back for sure!

The food was amazing, the staff were friendly and fast, the general atmosphere was amazing. The bar menu was slightly lacking, some of the cocktails weren't the best.
