“ Most consistent Mexican restaurant you will find. My wife and I have been coming here for the past 2 years and we have never had a bad experience. You will see the owner working often, he does a great job and runs a great restaurant. ”
“ We arrived with a party of 14 and when I say the service was top notch, it was top notch!! Everything was great from the food to the service! When it was time to check out even all the bills were split correctly! Will definitely visit again if we are the area. ”
“ Hands down one of the best Mexican food places we've been to. Excellent food. I had tilapia and shrimp and it rivals high-end restaurants. Probably best I've ever had. No fish taste at all. Service is fantastic. Mexican dished were exceptional. Would highly recommend. Believe the 5 star ratings. ”
“ Loved everything about Viva Mexico! We had the Caribbean Fajitas and the Kentucky Burrito. Both were delicious, filling and piping hot. Our server was extremely nice and efficient. Will definitely be a repeat customer ”
“ Salsa is really good, traditional flavor, the spicy salsa is by special request 5/10 on heat but flavor is fantastic, they will bring a jalapeno based and guessing the second is habanero based. I ordered chori-pollo one of my favorite dishes, hands down the best in the Lexington area. Very flavorful cooked to perfection. I drove an hour to try this restaurant and I will be back ”
