   My wife and I met up with a friend prior to basketball game. We moved from Providence several years ago, so had not been to Viva Mexico in some time. Our experience was wonderful from start to finish. Our meals and drinks were all first-rate. All the staff were exceptional in the service they provided, adding to the restaurant's fun vibe.

   Food delicious as always! Great service too! Our favorites are the vegetarian burritos, chicken enchiladas, and chicken fajitas! If you like heat, be sure to ask for their homemade hot sauce!

   Friendly, efficient, attentive staff. Fresh delicious food. The shrimp tacos are the best I have ever had! We also love the street corn to share as a side dish.

   First time dining here in over a year. Felt like visiting an old friend ! We were delighted to see the owner, Jose who greeted us warmly at the door and seated us at our favorite window table. It's a great location to watch people passing by on Washington Street. We talked with Jose for a bit and he commented that he is always learning new recipes and continuously evolves the menu to offer his guests the very best quality experience. We wholeheartedly agree! This experience was exceptional! We started with perfectly blended Margaritas using fresh juices and an order of chips and beans with spicy, green and red salsas. Jose generously offered us a bowl of delectable grilled sweet corn with spices, topped with cheese and drizzled with crema and crisp slices of radish. We scooped up some of the corn with our tortilla chips and saved the rest to top our entrees. My husband chose a crispy Carnitas filled Chimichanga for his entree and I had my usual Mole Enchiladas stuffed with tender chicken, topped with a rich, dark, spicy Mole sauce and a side of fluffy seasoned rice. We sampled each others entrees and both were perfection! Beautiful comforting atmosphere, great mix of lively music and outstanding service by Jose himself assisted by his excellent floor staff, a great bartender and kitchen crew that really has it goin' on! We need to visit more often! If you you are new to this restaurant or have not visited in a while, do yourself a favor and visit.

    Expensive for the (small) amount of food you get. They gave me 3 little tortillas with my fajitas, and I’ve never seen an order of fajitas so small. The margaritas were so weak and overpriced. They charge you for chips and salsa, which usually comes free at Mexican restaurants.
