i dined here on my own recently when the weather and traffic leaving the city were horrible. it was a tuesday early evening and the place was full. there are probably only 6 or 7 tables in this small establishment - which gives it an intimate feel. the two gentlemen working were both mexican, and very friendly. i ordered several dishes - so as to make it worth their while - since i was alone and occupying a valuable table. there wass no wine sold here so i settled for a margarita. it was good and traditional. all of thefoodwas as well. a bit pricy - like all mexican places in nz - but definitely well worth it. i had tacos, quesadillas, and stuffed jalepenos. nice freshfoodcooked onsite. i will be back.

go here often and always find the place to be great.foodis always nice and the guys who work there are always friendly.

the place is low-key but has some character and interesting decor.

have taken a number of other people along and no one has had a bad thing to say about the place.

thefoodhere is good, however, the prices have been slowly rising and what used to be great value for money is not so much any more.

good mexican beers, my wife asked for a margarita and was scorned at, they said "that's not a mexican drink, only tourists drink that in mexico" very arrogant. it's off the beaten track in a grimey part of the city, it's a tiny place, yes thefoodis good but come on guys? you had everything perfect before why do you put the prices up so much??

good me

over the last year, the cooking has been up and down. but the last few times, we've noticed a marked and consistent improvement offoodand presentation. today, i had something simple, two tacos: chorizo and chicken. the sauce was on the side, so the tortilla was not drowning and falling apart. the meat was nicely seasoned, and the black beans were delicious. the tortillas have changed a little, too. now they are lightly fried so it holds shape better, but is still flexible and does not shatter. sooo good.

i simply love thefoodat viva mexico. it isn't a flash restaurant with tiptop service but a lovely little whole in the wall that deserves a visit. it is a great place to hide from the cafe crowd on cuba street and get a fab feed.
for starters this visit we shared the stuffed jalapeños, they were delicious and gone in seconds.
often when i eat out i head towards the vegetarian option for mains, never here though. i love the salsa verde and was told by staff a while back that beef is what goes best with it, so that is what i ordered. this visit i had the huarache , why have i never thought of servingfoodlike this? it was great but huge. i didn't quite finish the whole plate. mr muffin enjoyed hisfoodtoo.
this place is well worth a visit and defiantly on our 'must use the entertainment book voucher' list.

tucked somewhere inside the left bank building, this tiny little mexican joint is a great hidden gem. they have a lot of options to choose from, a nice variety. 

thefoodhas a lot of flavors and it satisfied my mexican craving. a bit pricey for the serving size though.

friendly service and a low key warm atmosphere, however i found thefoodto be either very dry or quite bland. i had the tacos and apparently the enchiladas are generally better so maybe give those a go. the bathrooms weren't particularly clean and were out of toilet paper - and after waiting ten mins in the cold outside for them to find the key that was somewhat annoying.

delicious and authentic mexicanfoodat viva mexico!! we had the corn enchiladas with chicken that was topped with a spicy chocolate sauce, delicious! not like your typical chain mexican this was authentic and filling yet not heavy like mexican can be! margaritas were a must to try!

partner and i had a weekend getaway in wellington. with so many dining options on offer, it's hard to pick, but i'm so glad we found viva mexico. whilst we only popped in for a taco and margarita, we loved it so much that we went back for more the following night. 

i like that viva mexico'sfoodlooks, smells and tastes what i imagine to be "authentic" mexican cuisine. unlike other mexican places that add layer upon layer of garnish and "extra bits" to make it look bright and fancy, these tacos were simple, with lots of meat and one or two garnishes that really added to the flavour of the meal. 

the rockmelon agua fresca was delicious, and at $4.50 was the more affordable drink option on the menu. 

we will definitely be coming back the next time we're in wellington.

we went to the petone outlet (no option on zomato to leave a review for that outlet), and we were so happy we went!!!! thefoodis just beautiful!! we got the beef and lamb tacos and they tasted so good - loved the guacamole! we also go the churos to share and wish we got the bigger plate of them as we didn’t want them to finish - the caramel sauce that goes with them is so yummy, and it was fantastic they weren’t covered in chocolate (and this is coming from someone who loves chocolate). will happily recommend this place as it’s worth your money!!

not as good as it used to be, they only do tacos now and they don't come with salad or rice. $15 seems quite steep, might be ok if you want tapas with some drinks late at night but not for a regular meal. i feel like they should retain some of what they are known for, good heartyfoodwith nice portion sizes. see photo for example
