Viva Mexico Mexican Cuisine

I like this place. It's very similar to many other Mexican places but the owner is always there working and making sure that things runs smoothly. It makes a big difference. He always smiles and is very friendly.They are in a good location with good parking and the food and service are consistently good. We really like coming here.

I travel to Lexington frequently for work and have started staying at the Doubletree again. This restaurant is in strip mall in front of it. It seems to be a newer restaurant and is very clean and modern decor. I normally avoid Mexican restaurants when I'm traveling because so many of them are Americanized Mexican. Viva Mexico is not. The staff is excellent and the margaritas are good. They have all of your favorite American Mexican but they have some great authentic Mexican also. I have been here 2 weeks in a row and have had the Cochinita Pibil and the Aguachiles Verdes. Both were phenomenal!!!! I can't wait until I am back to try more of their dishes.

This is one of our favorite restaurants ever the food is always amazing. The service is by far the best and the ambience you just can't do better. Very excited to see their new seafood menu.

The most exquisite Mexican food in Lexington!!! A+ service fresh food, top-notch atmosphere and cleanliness.La más exquisita comida mexicana en Lexington!!! servicio A+ comida fresca, ambiente y limpieza de primera.

(MY REVIEW IS BASED ON A DELIVERY ORDER.)The cheese dip Cheese Dip Side is tiny, 2 ounces. Not worth the cost, but the taste was very good. My order was missing the Small House Sauce I ordered. Order arrived cold but it's 21 degrees outside which im sure has something to do with it. I wouldn't order the Speedy Gonzales again. Enchilada sauce is sweet. Beef had a different flavor than most Mexican restaurants. Rice and beans were tasteless. The salsa is some of the best I've had though.

Such a yummy place with excellent in house made sauces! Not pictured: fried ice cream addicting

Wanted to try a new restaurant tonight and remembered about this place. First their salsa is amazing, unsure what all is in there but the flavor is spot on. The service was phenomenal was checked on several times. We sat out on the patio and it was a perfect night. I will definitely come back to try more items

Loved the food service and ambiance! They actually have great flavors and some spice in their dishes. Fresh pico, delicious chimichangas. Margs are good also.

We went to this wonderful restaurant late on a Friday during a Keeneland race weekend. The staff was attentive and couldn't have been nicer to us. Drinks were top notch with my wife declaring her Paloma to be one of the best she's had in a while. Food: Great chips, salsa & guacamole. Grilled Ribeye & shrimp had fantastic flavor and my daughter's steak quesadilla was a whopper. She loved it. I appreciated that they had sports on the TVs in the bar areas and even had some sombreros sitting around for photos and laughs. We will be back next time we're back in Lexington!

Anyone who gives this place less than 5 stars DOESNT KNOW BALL. Do your soul a favor and visit Viva asap, order the Tacos de Birra, and pull up Yelp to thank me when you're finished.
