WAHACA REVIEWS
Came in by accident and didn't expect much (the restaurant looked understaffed). However, the food was delicious, the cocktails were really nice and the service was welcoming and quick! We had a real great experience.
Wahaca has some good Mexican food! I liked the tacos and the mocktails. The service is quick too. They have a lots of options on the menu and have vegetarian options as well. Plenty of space to sit. Location is also very central.
Not your average Mexican! Loved the food here and the service. A really different take on the standard fare but be careful! Some are super hot! tThe only one I didn't like was the cheese balls. Didn't quite like the texture but all good apart from that.

VIVA MEXICO REVIEWS
I’m a native California gal who has high standards for my Mexican food. I’m generally disappointed with British ‘Mexican’ but Viva was EXCELLENT!! The menu was full of options for me and my vegetarian daughter and the salsas were amazing and varied and all of it was delusions and very authentic!! Highly recommended!!
Amazing food which is cooked to perfection. The service is so quick and friendly staff. who are so nice and very helpful even when you're not sure what to order, they gave us a few recommendations on the food. Which was top notch so tasty. We have been twice as it's so good. The cocktails are also superb. I would highly recommend this place. Although very busy, it's best to book. We walked past at 6 when they opened and booked a table for later that night, walked around Royal Mile, while we waited on our table. Lots to see up there. This place is a must try if you like Mexican Great value for money. Great atmosphere.
Food and drinks were both excellent- definitely one of the more authentic Mexican restaurants in the city and well worth a visit. Staff were lovely and service was very good. Would highly recommend the fish tacos and the litre jugs of cocktails!

MARIACHI RESTAURANT REVIEWS
Absolutely amazing. From start to finish. Mojito was outstanding and one of the best I’ve had. Now the burrito reminded me of my childhood. Brought back memories from childhood and tasted like my Abeula recipe. Highly recommend. Atmosphere is amazing and very happy.
Oh my god, absolutely delicious! The Chimichanga pork was the star! Amazing. We highly recommend it. We also had the nachos, and they were the best nachos I have ever had. The guacamole was good, but we would prefer it to be more flavorful. It was okay. We already had fajitas, very good too. Love the place and the chimichanga, we already miss you.
Fabulous Mexican food the best I’ve had in a while. Very busy but it didn’t stop us from having great service. I would recommend booking a table.
