    FLAUTAS DE POLLO
    Joseline B.

    Great Mexican Restaurant! They have an amazing vibe, definitely kids friendly; brought my nieces with us and they were very accommodating! The food was delicious, I would suggest some more tortillas for the fajitas but the other dishes were amazing! You should definitely try The Asteca, what a nice cocktail!

    Overall I came here for dinner with my husband on a Friday night around 7:30. We had app, entrees and a shared dessert. All in all, we had a good time and will be back. Food We ordered the guacamole enchilados to start. Serving was perfect for 2 people and tasted great! As entrees, my husband got the chicken enchiladas with verde sauce and I got the salmon con esquites. Both dishes were good but the salmon was better. For dessert we had churros with caramel sauce. Yum! Service Our waitress was quick, efficient and friendly. Ambiance Viva Mexico is super cute. From the wall decor to plating, they truly are instagramable. They have a fun playlist and are working hard to keep the place nice and clean.

    I came here last night with my fiancé for the first time and everything about this restaurant was amazing. As soon as we came in the staff directed us to our seats. Unfortunately we had chosen a slightly wobbly table but that was quickly fixed by a very attentive staff member. Food was amazing. Music was great. The outdoor seating area was very nice. We had ordered an esquite (which was generous portioned!), steak tacos, green enchiladas, and 2 frozen margaritas. By then end of our meal I had barely touched my margarita (just because I don't typically drink and I had changed my mind on having it) but our waiter asked if there had been anything wrong with it. I had said no. I did appreciate the effort to go above and beyond. Not a lot of restaurants would do this much for their customers. Definitely recommend this restaurant and we will definitely come back! 10/10!

    God has blessed us with this delicious place! The ceviche is delicious, a little spicy for me because I'm sensitive to spicy foods but over all very good. It has mangos in it and the combination of sweet and salty really hits the spot! The guacamole and chips very very good! The bulldog drinks also amazing, one will do the job, it's margarita mix with a corona turned over in it. Ok let's get down to the needy greedy, the beef tacos are amazing ! Juicy, tasty, full of flavor! And the best I saved for last, the Birria Tacos, OH MY GOODNESS they are absolutely amazing! Juicy, freakin delicious. The tortillas are soft, the beef tender, juicy and savory. You ever have that feeling when you eat something SO good that once you take that first bite you have to look at what you're eating because it's THAT good!? The atmosphere was good, music was at a good volume and the people there were all just feeling the space. Love love LOVE this place! VIVA MEXICO!!

    Skirt Steak Fajita
    Renee I.

    Came here for a birthday celebration on a Friday night. Highly recommend the classic frozen margarita, that was deliciously strong, steak, chicken and shrimp fajitas were fantastic with the black beans and rice and the chips, salsa and guacamole were the perfect appetizers. The taco salad was great too with the plantains. Service was nice, felt a smidgen rushed but it was busy tonight, really nice murals on the walls, small yet elevated and intimate setting.

    Flan! I loved the chip on top too!
    Ri A.

    This is my second time here. It is a great place for the locals! The place is lively and has positive vibes. It's so cute inside with all their colors and paintings on the walls and the music is great. This place was packed on a Friday night. The staff was on point and very friendly! Their food was delicious! Everything we ordered was flavorful and fresh! I loved their pork tacos and shrimp empanadas with cheese inside! Their guacamole was really good too! Definitely returning!

    Very good food and service, clean bathroom too. There's also music. I think I would appreciate there's extra napkin for the water cup lol, the table somehow feels like always wet from it. But nothing I would really complain tbh.

    Nacho with chorizo, steak taco and sangria.
    Shirley H.

    Really enjoyed this place. The food is excellent. Had steak tacos, which has a layer of grilled cheese on the bottom. Chorizo nachos, so nice to enjoy with a companion. Red and white sangria was good too. I like the white sangria a bit more because it was sweeter, but if you want to feel good, drink the red. We had churros too, this wasn't on the menu. These were so fresh and crispy. So fresh and good, it comes with sauce too, but I like it plain. The staffs are all so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, the painting on the walls are lovely and really brings me to Mexico.

    Came here for happy hour. Place is cute and music wasn't too loud. Nice place to catch up with friends. Food was great. Service was excellent. Drinks were 1/2 price during happy hour. Monday-Friday 3-6 I believe. Would def be back!

Our reservation was for 8:30pm, but we arrived early and Alejandra, the hostess, was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Even though she was ready to seat us, we decided to hang at the bar until the rest of our party arrived and that was the perfect move. Alkarys behind the bar was top-tier. She recommended the Siempre Reposado, and let me tell you... smooth, clean, dangerously good. If you're into tequila, that's a must. Now let's talk about the food. We ordered the quesadilla, rajas, tamales, tacos, and the queso fundido and every single dish hit. The queso fundido came out bubbling, rich, perfectly melted with that pull you want when you scoop it up. The tamales were moist and packed with flavor, wrapped beautifully and clearly made with care. The rajas had that perfect balance of roasted pepper sweetness and savory depth. The tacos? Authentic, well-seasoned, and layered with flavor, no shortcuts. Even the quesadilla stood out, crispy on the outside with that perfectly melted interior. Everything felt traditional, elevated but still true to its roots. You can taste the authenticity. Service was attentive without being overbearing, the ambiance was super casual and laid back, the kind of Brooklyn spot you pull up to for a real dinner experience, not just a quick bite. Highly recommend this place if you're out and about in Brooklyn. Definitely coming back for the tequila, the queso fundido, and round two of those tacos. I'm gonna try eating at the bar to check out the spot in the front of the house.

AMBIANCE: Walking to the restaurant from the subway, it's located on an unassuming block at the corner of 4th St and Havemeyer in Williamsburg, front of store doesn't particularly stand out. Walking in they've decorated with creative, crafty (in a good way) touches--the multitude of ropes draped from the ceiling add dimension to the ceiling and the bar back wall is composed of wood pieces forming a multi-colored herringbone pattern. Textured glass pendant lights hanging from the ceiling throw mini geometric patterns across the dark walls, and vibrant canvas artworks add pictorial interest along the walls. FOOD: YUM. I can see why this place was jam packed on a Saturday night, and reservations are needed. Strong recommendation for their tasting menu at $58 pp, what a delightful meal! 8 sharing dishes and 3 desserts were perfect for a party of five, and drinks are separate though you can add a cocktail pairing for $47. For each main they provide a serving per person, and the desserts are shared. I came hungry and was so full by the end of the meal--everything was delicious! - grapefruit guacamole w/house-made chips: the grapefruit chunks were "meaty" and surprisingly went really well with the guac, it added a different citrus element than the usual lime. Comes with a small bowl of maybe 6-7 chips and we asked for two chips refills since the chips to guac and salsa ratio was low. - spicy faroe islands' salmon tartar: tasty and I liked the latin flavors and corn, snow peas, a touch of wasabi. Flavors of the sesame-soy-truffle-lemon vin and crema got a little muddled. Relatively more "generic" dish of the evening though I was here for it! Any dish with fresh tender salmon, I can't complain. - blue crab and carrot tostada, generous shredded crab salad on top of freshly crisp blue corn tortilla. Topped with pumpkin seeds, dill, cilantro, and saffron-orange aioli. - three cheese & artichoke 'queso fundido': served in a very hot ceramic pot and super melty and delicious, eaten with the fluffy grilled pita and green apple slices + salsa. One of the top picks of the evening. - roasted bone marrow and chorizo, served as tacos with fresh blue corn tortillas, and added a sprinkle of pickled onions--does that sound amazing? Bc it was AAHMAZING. - spicy chipotle-guajillo shimp 'diablo' (not spicy): served with pumpkin tortillas and three accompaniments on the side--mushroom chile crisp, horseradish crema, celery 'salsa macha". Part 2 to make your own tacos was another hit! Our entire table agreed if they sold the sauce for the shrimp we'd all buy it. - heritage pork osso bucco 'carnitas' with Fall-spiced black mole, sour cherry mostardo, calabrian chile pesto: cue drooling now. This part 3 of the tacos was served on pumpkin tortillas; the meat was practically falling off the bone, tender, juicy and flavorful. - buffalo-style com 'elote: sooo good too! A little messier to eat since it comes drizzled with spicy hot sauce butter, feta, lime aioli, cilantro, though totally worth it! - Desserts: --green tea matcha churros: comes with two little pots of spiced mexican chocolate & passion fruit sauce. Warm, sugary and crisp without being too sweet. --pumpkin spiced-vanilla flan: topped with sour cherries, cocoa nibs & toasted seed 'trail mix", if you love flan you'll love this, so smooth and creamy with a bit of crunch and tang from the cherries. --pistachio tres leches cake with cream cheese frosting, raspberry, using an olive oil cake: we all agreed this was probably the best tres leches we've ever had. The pistachio nuttiness and the creaminess from the milks paired well. SERVICE: Very friendly and attentive service though it was very loud in the restaurant and they had to really shout. There was a delay in the middle of our meal I think bc kitchen was slammed, after the entree we waited about 35 min for our desserts. Considering they limited the seating to 2 hours and about half of our party arrived 20 min late, and accounting for the long wait pre-dessert, they did us solid by extending our table time by about an hour in total. Also great that they brought the first dessert out with a candle for my friend's birthday.

The eggs are cooked perfectly, soft and fluffy, and the tater tots add a nice crunch, although I would not mind if they were even a little crunchier. They're already better than most places I've been. The sausage was nice and flavorful, although I do wish there was a little more, as I felt like it got a little lost in the rest of the burrito.
