We make it a point to eat here whenever we are in Edinburgh. It is a slice of Mexico in Scotland. Food is excellent, service was good and the whole place has a lovely feel about it. Would highly recommend if you are looking for excellent Mexican food.
We had a delicious meal, all freshly prepared. The service was exemplary. Food arrived promptly. The mohito cocktail was delicious. It was my brother’s first meal in a proper Mexican restaurant and he loved it. Definitely a family favourite and we hope to be back very soon.
Really good service as per usual unreal food and great drinks
Never any complaints when we come here very good in all aspects
Delicious food! Restaurant a little hard to navigate as it's a bit cramped.
Best Mexican food in town. I've been coming here for 30+ years and never been disappointed. Also love the margaritas!

Really nice place with good food. The Mole enchiladas were great
Very nice food, good service, very good deal on the drinks
Lovely fresh food and helpful staff. We had a window seat too, which was nice.
My favourite Mexican restaurant and one of my favourite restaurants full stop. The food is very good quality and the friendly service has always been excellent. I’ve recommended to others for many years.
Food and atmosphere was lovely!! Big portions and we made the mistake of ordering a starter PLUS a main but was too full to finish our delicious main meals. Staff were friendly and attentive and overall a lovely evening meal out.
The restaurant was beautiful decorated so nicely The food was great and authentic However what let them down was the service Had to ask for everything and chase the servers for food and drinks One waitress in particular was very rude and kept reaching over us to grab glasses and jugs with not mention of warning or asking if we were done with them Left no tip as a result of the poor service and she was not happy about it, after what I would call passive aggressive service she became actively hostile and made us feel even more unwelcome Wouldn’t go back.
Surprising restaurant ... Nice to discover Service on top !
Food was excellent. Staff were fairly attentive. Great value for money. Would definitely return.
Two of us are gluten free, they catered to our needs extremely well. The four of us were very satisfied with the generous portions and we thoroughly enjoyed our food and experience we would definitely return.
So happy to find a place with food much like back home. They just need to add breakfast to their day. 😊
Great place that serves what I know as Mexican food! So, in my opinion, it is the only authentic Mexican restaurant in Edinburgh. Loved it!
Lovely fresh and authentic tasting Mexican food, would definitely go again
I always try to eat there when I am in Edinburgh. And never disappoints! Go there- service is efficient pleasant and food is excellent.
Viva Mexico is an Edinburgh institution! I go at least once a month I love it so much ❤️
We always love this best Mexican Meal in Edinburgh for 30 years !
3rd visit and always enjoy. will be back next time in Edinburgh
Excellent food and service, best Mexican food I've had in a while.
Good food. Good margaritas. They made a great special surprise dessert for my daughter’s birthday which made her day. Great place
We went here for our first date... and now we've been married ten years! Authentic food, shame it's closing! Go now!

Lovely food and really friendly staff. Would go again. Last to leave at about 10.30 after reservation for 8.45, didn’t realise they closed this early.
Great value for money especially for their lunch offer! We all had different choices and no one was disappointed, it’s my 2nd visit and I’ll definitely be back. Thank you 😊

Atmosphere is lovely, cosy and chilled, service was good, food is amazing quality for a fair price, the nachos are the best nachos I’ve ever had! The chicken burrito is so flavoursome and cooked to perfection and served nicely with rice and re-fried beans on the side. Easy my favourite mexican restaurant so far!!
Excellent food and even better Margaritas! Great night all round.
