VIVA MEXICO Bar and restaurant

Might be the best Mexican in the area. Undiscovered! Only 7 reviews at the time of this writing. There seems to be some confusion regarding the deli called Taqueria la Mexicana next door, which is also great, by the same mom and pop proprietors, and shares its kitchen in the middle. The food is simple in the best way possible. Satisfying and made with love. Not too heavy or watered down for gringos. Can’t go wrong with enchiladas de molé, birria or tacos al pastor, torta de milanesa de pollo (chicken cutlet) sandwich with special bread and everything on it, tamales and so on. For some of the best of everything, the molcajete for two is a great value. Grilled short rib, skirt steak, cheese, shrimp, chorizo, jalapeño, whole baby onion, tortillas, rice and beans and more. I was recognized

Delicious! First time here and I was so impressed. The empanadas, elote, and birria were incredible. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, and I love the bright, colorful atmosphere of the restaurant. Can’t wait to come back!

This place is totally underrated and empty too often! Their food is so good! And they have an amazing bar with a tremendous tequila selection. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

This place is GORGEOUS! They were closed for a few months, but they’re back and they have a live DJ on weekends and DELICIOUS cocktails (GET THE LAS VEGAS DRINK) and they’re hospitable and share their delicious cuisine with grace and love! I literally am trying to move into this place!

This is the best Mexican food I have ever tasted in my life. I have eaten a lot of Mexican food and this tasted like someones grandma was making it in the back. OMG so good.
