It’s amazing! My favourite in Edinburgh city centre. Highly recommend.
Great little place, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Good reasonably priced food.
Amazing food & ambiance! Best restaurant in town!! Ole! X
As good as usual. Really enjoyed our food and margaritas.
we had a great time here, as always. Our server was new to her role and could not have been more helpful despite our rather unusual requests. I wish I could have got her name so I could give her the credit she deserves! Couldn't have been more kind and attentive.
this is our favourite Mexican restaurant,the food is always good and very reasonable. Would definitely recommend going

Fabulous meal! Food was delicious, staff friendly and fast service. Loved the decor and the authentic atmosphere. Recommended to a family on our way out who were looking in the window and they decided to go in, I'm sure they weren't disappointed!
Decent food & good value. I recommend and will be back.
All staff we met were knowledgeable and helpful. I am glad we were eating downstairs, we had a short wait for our table and the atmosphere upstairs was not nearly as good.
Great as always . Really good food and service excellent x
One of the best Mexicans I've had in a long, long time. Service was great too.
Excellent menu - everything you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant and a little bit more. Food was delicious and the service superb. Only thing lacking was a little bit of atmosphere. Perhaps some more lively music would help. But overall, would highly recommend.
Fab as always! Friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Great delicious food.
Great atmosphere staff very polite and helpful. Food served hot and very tasty.
Great for Gluten Free They have a very good allergens folder so, for me, it’s clear what contains gluten/what (I’m coeliac). I went for the ‘Pechuga de Pollo’ with the chipotle sauce. Spiced it up with the very hot sauce that they sell as a side. Food came piping hot. I’m never sure about how they use their fryers (cross contamination if they only have one and fry everything in it) – and this time I didn’t ask, but didn’t need to. Margaritas tasted a bit weak – too much lime juice. Red wine was really good, and they have Corona (which, having fewer than 20ppm, is gluten free – hooray!) Service was really good, but we were there early (6:45pm). Place got really packed by 7:30pm.
Love Mexican food so much ! The food here was delicious
Lovely atmosphere, nice staff, great food. Bathroom in an odd place.
Excellent. Especially for a birthday. Good food. Big hat!!! Great drinks and food
Always welcoming and friendly always delicious fajitas and burritos. Excellent Margheritas
Nice place good food and great service will be back
Lovely Mexican restaurant close to centre of town with excellent service and food.
Eine super schöne Atmosphäre und gutes Essen. Es ist Urlaub um Urlaub.
I’ve been before and have never had this issue of hot plate with only half of the food being hot and the other half cold. Rice and Beans hot, Enchiladas cold. I assume it was where the plate was under the warmer at the pass. Everything else was just lovely.
My favorite restaurant in the city. I love all their starters!
As per can’t complain class service and food and especially amazing drinks
Great food, great service! Great atmosphere and great menu !
Great food, friendly atmosphere. Fun decor, would definitely recommend to anyone
All great, quality of chicken could be better. A veggie haggis main would be an additional improvement.
Sehr gut, schönes Ambiente, hat etwas nach Fett gerochen aber nicht so schlimm
overall good service and great value for money ! !
Always amazing food and service. The margaritas are great but pricey. The salsa is out of this world!
Excellent food, service and ambiance as always with Viva Mexico.
Amazing food & friendly staff - we will be back
I thought the staff were exceptional and so was the service. However, I felt the food was a little bland and there wasn't a great choice of dishes
We've eaten here quite a few times now and it never fails to deliver!
Great wee lunch for our office. Food was delicious and served hot and fast. Would recommend.
This is a lovely Mexican restaurant with ample seating and a great deal of choice. Me and my partner had nachos for starters and fajitas for main. The nachos were great as was the fajitas. Only minor complaint is that the wraps were a little smaller than usual.
Class food as always and the margaritas are out of this world worth the price
very Tasty food and well priced, great atmosphere with a enjoyable experience
Great food, nice atmosphere. Still the same great restaurant as remembered.
Lovely atmosphere, amazing food and excellent and nice service, we all had a great time!
As good as I remember. Over 15 years since my last visit
Wait staff could have been more attentive. One server seemed to have insufficient English to cope with questions regarding allergy risk ingredients, and still gave vague responses after we had all referred to the allergy menu together. This did not inspire confidence. Food was excellent and portions very large (perhaps too large?)
Great food, friendly staff and charming place, highly recommend x
Our favourite Mexican in Edinburgh. Food still as good as as ever.
