Viva Mexico - Wellington

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. <br/ <br/ I like that Viva Mexico 's food looks, 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. <br/ <br/ The rockmelon agua fresca was delicious, and at $4.50 was the more affordable drink option on the menu. <br/ <br/ We will definitely be coming back the next time we 're in Wellington.

Nice (albeit smallish) mexican main courses, but we usually go mostly for the stuffed jalapenos which are served as a starter the best in town, absolutely delicious!

Friendly staff and great location, just tucked a little way from the crowds of Cuba Street. The pork tacos are very tasty. I stopped for a light dinner, and the taco really hit the spot. I'll be back for more.

Super tasty tacos and great margaritas. Home-made salsa was a highlight. Everything we had was delicious though, and was even given free churros for when. We return as they had sadly sold out. We will definitely return.

Good flavors, spicy salsa. Chips and salsa are $15 which is over priced for the 15 chips you actually get. Food came out fast and service was polite.
