" Tried this place after hearing so much about it and it did not disappoint. The birria tacos were rich and flavorful; I could eat them every day! The service left a little to be desired, but the food made it all worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute favorite of mine! The food here reminds me of meals my grandmother used to make. Truly authentic and delicious. The service is super friendly, and the atmosphere feels like home. Definitely my go-to for Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was so excited to try Viva Mexico after hearing positive things from friends. Sadly, I found the food pretty average. Nothing stood out, and the service was slow on top of that. I might give it another shot, but I think I expected too much. " (*Curated Review*)

" Skip this place! I expected real Mexican food, but what I got was disappointing. The tacos were bland and lacked seasoning. The only redeeming quality was the guacamole, which was quite good. I won’t be returning anytime soon due to the overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Average experience overall. The food was okay, the service was decent but the wait was a bit long. The ambiance lacked the charm I was expecting from a Mexican restaurant. Not sure if I would return unless I hear better reviews in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a big fan of Mexican food, and I was excited to eat at this restaurant. The food was decent, but I didn't find it to be as authentic as I had hoped. The service was okay, but we felt rushed during our meal. I might give them another try since I've heard great things from others. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! We visited Viva Mexico for dinner and everything was delightful. The tacos had a genuine taste, very reminiscent of what I experienced in Mexico. We couldn't get enough of the chips and guac either! The ambiance was lively, filled with colorful decorations and music, making it a great family dining spot. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
