Viva Mexico

Excellent food and attentitive without being over-baring service. Good value. Background music was at the correct level and enabled us to speak without having to shout. A great night out.

Great food and drinks, very kind services and not too expensive! The atmosphere was very cosy and nice too. Definitely recommend this place to anyone.

A lovely quirky little restaurant tucked away on Cockburn Street. The place had a great atmosphere, fun friendly staff and the food was all very natural and fresh. We couldn't resist desert either-can highly recommended the Dime Bar Crunch!

Excellent food and good service though a bit slow to be seated . One of the best Mexicans in Edinburgh and will definitely return again

Excellent! We were a party of 12 and ordered s*** ton of food and drinks and got great service, food was very money. Would highly recommend!

Another wonderful meal at Viva Mexico! Been going to this restaurant whenever I am in Edinburgh for the last 20 years, and it's always fantastic. Highly recommended.

food was nice as it always is however bit taken aback by the service charge immediately tacked onto the end of the bill - only 2 of us were dining and while I appreciate this is the norm for larger parties I prefer to chose the amount to tip rather than having it demanded. Seemed very rude

Amazing themed restaurant with good choice of food and quirky decor. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good selection of cocktails. Easy to get to recommend to book in advance.

We have been using this restaurant for well over 20 years. It has never failed to provide excellent food, service and atmosphere. Now introduced our son to it ☺️.

Food was lovely, staff were very pleasant a really good meal and atmosphere. I would recommend this little hidden gem to anyone that loves Mexican food.

Viva Mexico is the best Mexican in Edinburgh by far. We've been coming here since 1993. I'd highly recommended this restaurant to everyone. Yum yum.

Excellent food and service. Very friendly staff that can't do enough for you and food is delicious. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

Viva Mexico Good food, friendly and efficient staff. Nice laid back atmosphere. Good value for a restaurant in its location. Would eat there again if in town.

Wow! Never disappoints. Amazing food, drinks and such a nice atmosphere. I always come back again and again. Do try the margarita, it is to die for!

Fantastic authentic Mexican food. Could not recommend this more to people. Brilliant staff, good prices and lovely setting. Make sure to book, as it is a small and busy restaurant.

Echt gutes essen und tolles erlebnis.... unscheinbar aber plötzlich riesig.... Haben es genossen gerne wieder. Beim nächsten mal nicht am fenster sondern im keller. Fajitas gut aber weizentortillas zu klein zum rollen....

Excellent as always. The service is amazing, the people and great fun and friendly. The food is great no matter what you order you will be satisfied!

A Good value lunch deal, our group had a few starters and mains, all very tasty food, and friendly service in a great location too.

High quality , fresh tasting Mexican food and not a bell pepper In sight! If you like real Mexican food visit here when you're in Edinburgh.

We went in really looking forward to the food after hearing great things about the place and we came out extremely disappointed and feeling very ill. The taste was bland and some items were dry and others overly greasy and oily. The only good thing about our experience was the drinks!! Would definitely not go back.

Great Location.Great Food, Great Staff. The food was very tasty and service outstanding. Looking forward to being back at that place soon! A Must-See for my next trip to lovely Edinburgh

Lovely little place, it's a lot bigger than you realise once yoù are downstairs , great atmosphere and really good food, always make sure you book ahead because it is very popular

We arrived 30 minutes early and they were able to accommodate us no problem. Food was as spectacular as always and it was a lovely time!

Viva Mexico is one of the best Mexican food restaurants in the UK. The quality of the food is as good as I remembered growing up in Phoenix Arizona and San Jose California. I'm from the US, and Mexican American, so I know what I'm talking about. I'm 60 now, been in the UK for the last 25 years, and when I want a traditional Mexican meal, I know where to go!

Lovely restaurant. Great food, relaxed ambience, great service and central location. We visited recently with friends and we look forward to visiting Viva Mexico again soon

Great food and sevice! Had an all vegetarian dinner and the food was delicious with good size portions. Looks small from the outside but has a nice seating area downstairs. Needed reservation to get in but was easy to book via Mobile.

We arrived earlier than our reservation time and were immediately seated. Service was friendly, and we enjoyed our lunches very much. Portions were a good size and a nice value for money, especially the lunch special. Will definitely return again.

A firm favourite since discovering over a year ago. Friendly service and amazing food as always. An abundance of gluten free options and a great atmosphere.

The food was again excellent and the staff were very efficient with a warm welcome It is advisable to book if going later in the evening. Will visit again when in Edinburgh.

Amazing atmosphere, fast service and delicious food. Great cocktails too - the mojitos were great. Surprised by the size of the restaurant - there are several rooms below stairs as well as the small dining area you see when you come in!

Great menu awesome service and a wonderful night. The staff are really helpful and I wish I was local, I'd eat there all the time

I first went to Viva Mexico in 1984 and was delighted that it is still going strong. We had a lovely meal, with excellent service.

The smell was incredible and didn't disappoint. Nachos were delicious and big portions. Fast and efficient service. Very relaxed atmosphere, will definitely go back when next in Edinburgh.

Busy vibrant restaurant in a great location. Great food, generous portion sizes with very good service. Would definitely go back again in future. Would recommend it highly

Food was very tasty and enjoyed our daiquiri's. Atmosphere was good and the staff was attentive and friendly. I would recommend people to try it out.

Don't take kids under 8 you won't be made welcome.Good food, dreadful service. La Favorita the night before was superb. By comparison this was dreadful.

Lovely building however the reUrBt was grubby and the food sloppy. I know Mexican type places are usually rustic but this was off putting. Staff were very good.

Excellent value for money and great food. My son and i often come here for lunch and he always enjoys it. Service was quick and friendly.

Food not up to usual fantastic. Fajitas did not sizzle on hot plate. Too much chilli used in everything, was my favourite restaurant..... Did give free sorbet to one guest as her usual order was also to hot hot hot !!!!!.....

Waited 35 mins for first drink to arrive. Not enough staff and waitresses looked to be in a bab mood. Food was good when it eventually arrived.

Warm reception, quick service for drinks and food and the dishes we chose were absolutely delicious. It's so lovely to be served a Chimichanga that isn't overstuffed with rice

if you enjoy Mexican food this is a must. We visit Ediburgh about three times a year and always come to this restaurant it always delivers excellent food. Delicious most nutritious !!!!

The mexican restaurant was excellent and they have authentic mexican food. Also the prices are very reasonable and the lunch menu is much and cheap.

Great service and good portions. A starter and a main course will fill you up. Good atmosphere as well. Can't think of anything more to say.

Excellent food the enchiladas were lovely. The friendly staff couldn't do enough for us even although the restaurant was busy. I had the most amazing chocolate chilli cheesecake apparently made by the owner. We'll be back! Would certainly recommend Viva Mexico to others!

The restaurant decor and atmosphere is great. Staff are efficient and friendly but the food very disappointing - not much flavour, too bland and didn't taste very fresh I would try it again before. completely writing it off as visits can vary due to lots of factors - but not what I expected

I had a very nice time at Viva Mexico! The food was really good and the staff friendly and welcoming! My recommendations: silver margaritas and choriqueso!!

Service was not great and we were charged extra for more sauce which was a shame. Food and pitcher of margarita were very tasty, albeit expensive.

Lovely atmosphere, nice friendly staff. Food is excellent and very good value for your money. Cocktails are fantastic and we will definitely be returning soon.

Another great meal at viva Mexico. The staff are charming and very inviting. If you love Mexican food this is the place to go. It all tastes so fresh and vibrant!
