" I’ve been searching for authentic Mexican cuisine and I finally found it at Viva Mexico! From the moment I set foot in the door, I was greeted warmly. My meal was packed with authentic flavors that transported me straight to Mexico. I tried the molcajete and every ingredient tasted fresh and well-prepared. My only suggestion would be to have a few more vegetarian options on the menu. Still, I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes, especially those margaritas everyone keeps talking about! " (*Curated Review*)

" At first glance, I was impressed by how cozy and inviting the restaurant felt. The staff was welcoming, and they made me feel right at home. I ordered the kentucky burrito, and it was quite filling! Though the flavors could have been more pronounced, I appreciated the quality. For a casual dinner, I think this place is a perfect fit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Viva Mexico based on the glowing reviews, and they mostly delivered. The carne asada was incredibly tender and flavorful, but I was slightly disappointed by the beans and rice being just warm. The service was friendly but it did take a while to get our food, which was surprising given how busy the restaurant was. Overall, the experience was positive, and if the small issues are fixed, it could easily become my favorite spot for Mexican food in Lexington! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited a lot of Mexican restaurants, but Viva Mexico stands out! The salsas were flavorful and fresh, and I really enjoyed their enchiladas. I loved the relaxed atmosphere of the place; it made for a nice evening out. Service was good, but we did have to wait just a little for seating. Otherwise, it was a delightful experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Viva Mexico and I can confidently say it was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had! The tacos were bursting with flavor, and I could really taste the authenticity in every bite. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with lovely Mexican decor, which added to the overall experience. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone who loves real Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered Viva Mexico while on a trip to Lexington and it was one of the best decisions I've made! The guacamole was fresh and the perfect starter. I tried the Al Pastor tacos and they were phenomenal—so flavorful with good portion sizes! The atmosphere was lively, and I loved the artwork that decorated the walls. My only complaint was that it took a little longer than expected for our meals to arrive. However, the food made it worth the wait. Would definitely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Five-star experience! The chimichangas were mouth-watering and definitely worth the extra calories. I loved that they had a variety of authenticity in their menu, showcasing different regions of Mexican cuisine. The waitress was kind and ensured we had everything we needed, although the drinks took a little while to arrive. I’m coming back next week with my family—I can't wait to show them the great food here! " (*Curated Review*)
