" While examining the menu, I was drawn in by the extensive options at Taqueria Viva México. I tried the veggie burrito and it was delightful! The beans were fresh and combined with the veggies perfectly. The atmosphere was casual, and there was a great salsa variety to choose from. Service was a little slow, but the food made up for it. I look forward to exploring more dishes on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Taqueria Viva México and I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. The food was bland, and the enchiladas lacked the authentic taste I was hoping for. I was also disappointed in the service; it felt rushed, and they forgot our drink order. The atmosphere seemed off, and I was hoping for a more cozy experience. Sadly, it just didn't live up to the hype for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a loyal customer for years and Taqueria Viva México never fails to impress! The seasoning in their meats is always on point, and their salsa bar is a dream come true for anyone who loves spicy food. The staff have always been friendly, and the prices are incredibly reasonable for the portion sizes you get. Whether it's a quick lunch or a family dinner, this place checks all the boxes for me. Highly recommend trying their al pastor tacos. They are simply delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointment describes my last visit to Taqueria Viva México. I ordered the enchiladas, which sounded promising but came out rather bland. The teeny portion didn’t satisfy my hunger either. Service was acceptable but not particularly attentive. The atmosphere seemed casual, but the cleanliness left much to be desired; there were crumbs on our table that weren't cleared. I’d hope for an improved dining experience if I were to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Taqueria Viva México, but it fell a bit short. While the burrito was decent, it lacked that authentic flavor I was craving. My friends enjoyed their meals, but both the rice and beans were kind of dry. The service was friendly, but it felt like a bit of a wait, especially considering it wasn't busy when we arrived. The ambiance is casual, which I appreciate, but I left feeling wanting more from the food. I might give it another try to see if it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been searching for North Bay Mexican food since I moved here, and Taqueria Viva México hands down offers some of the best! Their burritos are generously portioned and packed with flavor. What stood out was the freshness of the ingredients; everything tasted so vibrant. The staff was really accommodating and super friendly. Definitely a hidden gem that I'm glad I discovered! I will be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a pleasant surprise this place was! I went for lunch with my coworkers and we were all impressed by the flavors of the various dishes. The ceviche tostada was refreshingly good and the carnitas tacos were tender with an amazing taste. The wait for the food was minimal, and we were charmed by the staff's friendly service. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican flavors close to downtown Alameda, you need to try Taqueria Viva Mexico! This is definitely one of my new favorites, and I can’t wait to go back soon!
