Viva Mexico

Good atmosphere, good food and realy nice personal! Just make your booking you will not be disappointed! I have been there several times and its always viva mexico!

Excellent service and lovely and food. Had the nachos and burritos for lunch. Would definitely recommend to friends. Look forward to my next visit. Thanks

Excellent food and service. Second time I have been in the last couple of weeks. Had 3 courses and all were great. Music was great as well.

Atmospheric restaurant in Edinburgh's Cockburn Street with seating both upstairs and downstairs. Menu covered all the Mexican bases from burritos to nachos. I enjoyed the pulled beef burrito. However, some of my party weren't as impressed with their meals which were too dry and lacked the salsa touch. Service was OK but nothing special.

excellent fun and funky restaurant. staff fun and friendly love the deco as well authentic food was really good ,well presented and well priced. i would recommend this place

Good location in the centre of Edinburgh. Walk up the hill make you feel like you have earned your dinner. Excellent food and service. Margaritas well worth a try!

Great place great food it never fails .. Staff very friendly 😜 as always viva Mexico is our favourite Mexican restaurant in Edinburgh well done guys

Very good food, very enjoyable atmosphere. Service was friendly and efficient. The salsa was really really good, would definitely recommend to friends and come back another time.

Great food, easy location. Can get crowded with spotty service. Good variety to the menu. Save room for dessert, they too are excellent. A nice surprise.

I've been going to Viva Mexico since the late 80s and it never fails to satisfy. Staff last night were friendly and attentive. Thank you.

It had been a few years since we'd eaten at Viva Mexico, and we were delighted to find that the service was still fast and friendly, the food as excellent as ever, and the cocktails were even better! Can't wait to return.

The food was tasty. However, after receiving our main courses we were not asked whether we wanted any dessert or anything else to drink and did not receive any further attention for over 1 hour, and finally had to go up and ask for the bill before we could leave.

The food was delicious and fresh, and the staff were extremely nice and helpful. It wasn't too expensive, and the margaritas were nice, but not AMAZING. I had the tacos with minced beef and they were fantastic, large portions and good location.

Food was gorgeous and worth the money. Staff were lovely and I will definitely be returning and recommending this lovely little place to my friends.

I love Viva Mexico, I've been over 10 times in the last year and I love it. The fish tacos are to die for!! It's a relaxed environment that does fantastic food. I'll continue to come back.

Great food, friendly service ....................true authentic Mexican food, fresh, colourful, great refrained beans, tacos crisp and filled and the fish great.........what else do you need? Nada.

great service and the food waa delicious! cant wait to go back!

Great food, great atmosphere, friendly staff and strong cocktails- what's not to love. I've returned many times. Only con- non wheelchair friendly- there is seating upstairs but bathrooms are situated down stairs.

great food, friendly & helpful staff - we were an hour late for our reservation (suitcase lost on bus), and they couldn't have been more accommodating.

Very pleasant and courteous staff Rapid service Good choice of food overall However the dishes lack greens and the whole meal feels really dry indeed

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here. Haven't been for several years but it was better than ever. The staff were very friendly and service very quick

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and lovely staff... just as good as our first visit 29 years ago ! This Mexican restaurant is a wee gem 👍

Great food, friendly staff, cosy setting, really impressed! I had the chicken with chocolate & chilli sauce, amazing! I would definitely go back here again.

Very nice helpful waiting staff. Food was tasty but thought the menu was bit limited. Not sure if authentic Mexican food maybe adapted to suit locals?

Excellent restaurant. The food was very good and the atmosphere was great. We ordered the house special, the fajitas and they were great. Good value for money also!

Very slow service. Was sitting at the table for ten minutes before we were asked for our drink order. Nachos overcooked and dark brown. The enchalada consisted of a odd textured tortilla which really wasn't very nice. The cocktails we were given were in warm glasses, which must have come straight out of a dishwasher. Been lots of times over the years to viva, so was really disappointed with this visit.

It was my second time at Viva Mexico and it was even better than the first time. It was perfect. The food, the service, the atmosphere... I will always come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive and friendly. Our only criticism is that it felt a bit rushed.

Delicious food, fun and quirky atmosphere and staff were very friendly. Prices are reasonable for food and drinks although could so with more choice of cocktails. Would definitely recommend.

Restaurant lovely and food amazing but staff were not very attentive left without drinks for all of main course and waited ages to get bill.

Great meal and excellent service. The jug of margaritas really started the evening off well. We recommend the vegetarian sharing platter starter. Lively and friendly atmosphere.

Great little restaurant, fantastic atmosphere, great food and reasonable prices. Staff were friendly too. We will definitely be eating here whenever we return to Edinburgh.

Enjoyable night with great food and good service. Would recommend and will return in the future. Liked the decor and the tequila... great mexican restaurant.

Great place, great atmosphere , generally really suprised at how cool it was in side , loved the additional extras and decorations and the food was fantastic

The service was efficient and very friendly considering how busy they were we never felt neglected. The food was lovely and we all left with very happy bellies if not somewhat stuffed. I highly recommend the Flan Especil if it's on the dessert menu it's scrummy

The Sangria was lovely. I would also recommend the haggis nachos - a nice change from regular nachos. The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere too.

I have been going to this restaurant for over 30 years and in all this time it has never ever disappointed me or my wife . We try to go at least once a year, normally her birthday.

Last Thursday, I booked for four of us at 2pm. All of sudden, they just inform us that 5 mins kitchen closed. We haven't order & decide for cup of tea instead. We all are disappointed. Will not go back again! They put us down! :(

Mango margaritas, Fish tacos and tortilla soup were outstanding. Very nice staff. Only downside was they didn't offer complimentary salsa and chips. Atmosphere was also fun but not obnoxious.

Great restaurant ideally located... the service is Nice and the food is gorgeous and tasty!!! Do not hesitate one second! Quesada Grande is really... grande!

Tasty food and great service made for a good experience overall. I would definitely recommend the beef fajitas and nachos - yummy! Value for money.

Great atmosphere , great you can take children, lovely birthday evening with good food and excellent service from the staff even though the restaurant was really busy

Our best Mexican in Edinburgh - and we've tried almost all of them!

Amazing food and atmosphere! Food was authentic and tasted amazing, we had a great seat with views across Edinburgh! Can't recommend this hidden gem enough!

We have been visiting Viva's for years - my opinion is that it is one of the best Mexican Restaurants by far. The food is lovely, the staff are attentive and efficient and the margaritas are fantastic!

Excellent food and service. Loved the old photos!! Will be back on our next Edinburgh trip!!

Really nice time, fully booked for the walk ins in front of us, but our quandoo booking meant we were seated straight away. Nice food and atmosphere so would go back again

Fantastic food, wonderful sangria, lovely friendly staff. Fantastic end to a great weekend in Edinburgh. Can strongly recommend this restaurant.... Best fajitas I've ever had

Flying visit as wanted to catch a jazz gig. Was very nice food and service was excellent! Overall we enjoyed our meal. Would visit again.

Good food, good environment. Very nice service. This time the food wasn't as good as others though. In general I highly recommend the place. It's nice
